I'm sort of curious how many people work graveyard shifts
Masae gave the idea for this poll, but I changed it around a bit. When do you normally wake up? I have friends that work graveyard shifts (like night nurses), so their sleeping schedule rotates like half the week. Must be tough...

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Form over function? Or function over form?

Lots of legitimate concerns over how USA conducts its census
The US census is going on right now, so energizerbunny suggested we do this question. Our poll format doesn't allow for the selection of multiple answers though, so mixed race is a separate option (but if you're half Chinese, half Korean, then you're still full Asian, so we're not counting that as mixed for the purpose of this poll). And we're also not able to do follow-up questions (like expanding on the types of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origins; or which specific Asian). Feel free to comment below if you're comfortable.

The Matrix, anyone?
This week's poll by jacob66 is a bit more philosophical in nature. I'm not sure how to expound upon it more besides just retyping the question. Maybe you should go read Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.

Gotta read what the anime skipped, right?
This week's poll was suggested by Shellshock. Assuming you liked an anime series that you completed and then discover there's a manga for it that continues the story, would you read the manga?

Did you know the lobster used to be considered the "poor man's protein"?
This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Would cooking an exotic meat in a familiar way make it more palatable for you to try eating?

I guess the next poll should be whether you use your phone as an alarm or not.
Whoops, I forgot to end the previous poll over the weekend... This week's poll was from me. The topic on hand is whether notifications, alerts, and/or calls will be noticed by you while you're sleeping, as alarms still go through the silenced mode

I've been seeing a lot of stuff about the anime for Japan Sinks 2020 recently. Maybe I should give it a shot
This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Let's say you die in some world catastrophe (zombie apocalypse, meteor, nuclear war, COVID-19, etc) but are magically transported back into the past by a few years. How would you live your life knowing what's coming?
