This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. How do you feel about AI generated art? Obviously there's a lot of potential nuance, but gotta boil it down to a short, easy poll.

Question: Which UI theme do you generally prefer?

Well, good thing we're thinking about creating a dark mode

This poll was suggested by our member Afiaki. This question is very relevant because the site update we did 3 weeks ago modernizes our code and allows us to think about redoing the skin of the site and supporting an official dark mode.

I was surprised by how much discussion (anger?) there was in the comments about UTC vs. GMT and how I should've phrased the poll better

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. What time zone are you normally in? I just listed the most common offsets that are on the hour. If you're at a x:30 or x:45 offset, then you're in the "Other" category. If you can't be bothered to figure out what time zone you're in, we even got the "I don't know" option for you. If you're currently in daylight savings... too bad, figure it out.

Movie popcorn wins

This week's poll was suggested by Viki.kdrama. What flavor of popcorn do you like the most? Obviously there's too many specific ones to count, so I just put the most common flavors as options. I visited Tokyo DisneySea last year and tried their curry flavored popcorn as well as their soy sauce & butter flavor. Very interesting...

Seems like most of us do not want the stress or responsibility

This week's poll was suggested by LazyReviewer. Maybe ruling the world is too much pressure, but what about ruling anything? You can comment below what's the limit to what you would like to rule
