Sometime on Leap Day (February 29th), I will select a question posted in the comments that I think is funniest or most enjoyable. This market then resolves according to the resolution criteria of that market.
Eligible funny questions must be:
Binary (YES/NO)
Loosely expected to resolve in 2024
Publicly resolvable (won’t require personal information to resolve)
Posted in the comments of this question, either directly or as a link to another market
However, beyond that, anything goes. Your question can be whimsical, self-referential, or over-the-top. The question could even resolve according to an event specially created to resolve this question.
I will not take into account the likelihood of a YES/NO resolution of proposed questions, even if they’re overwhelmingly (un)likely to happen (~0% or ~100%).
The only thing that will matter is the enjoyment or humor I derive from the question, directly or indirectly. “Funniest or most enjoyable” should be construed broadly. Questions which make me spit out my milk as I read them might win, as might questions which cause me to spend an hour entertained, as might questions whose existence counterfactually causes something hilarious to happen. To help inform trading, I’ll try to report the relative entertainingness of questions whenever asked.
To say more about my sense of humor, I tend to enjoy absurdity, satire, and awkwardness. I often find dark humor and antihumor hilarious. I enjoy anything that takes me down a rabbithole, or challenges me, or that is absurd and unflinching in its complexity (think Gödel, Escher, Bach), or which doesn’t take itself too seriously. Most of all, I enjoy grandiosity and a good spectacle.
Reason why I think this market is fun: if the market is trading high, you’re incentivized to bet NO while asking a really funny question which will likely resolve NO, and vice versa.
