I will include a question on my upcoming survey asking, "How would you describe the shape of the Earth?" The options are:

  • Flat

  • Round (spherical)

  • Oblate spheroid

  • Approximately an oblate spheroid with slight pear-shapedness

  • Geoid

  • Approximately a geoid, but with imperfections due to surface features that don't exactly match the ideal equigeopotential surface

  • Dinosaur-shaped

  • Hyperbolic plane

  • Other

Resolves to the percentage who say "Flat". If it's on the border of two bins, resolves to both bins equally.

Survey Results Pt. 5: Down the Rabbit Hole
In the previous posts on my survey results, we looked at general information about Manifolders, as well as their opinions on Manifold itself, works of art in different media, and philosophy. This post will discuss their answers to the “Fun” questions, which for most of you made up the final section, but some unlocked the secret bonus section, which will also be revealed.

I'm actually really interested to see the results of this one.

@evergreenemily I'm surprised you're so confident that only a small percentage of people will pick the joke option. Though I guess there being more than one joke option does make it less likely that a lot of people will specifically pick this one.

@JosephNoonan I think "Dinosaur-shaped" is a funnier joke option, and "ideal equigeopotential surface" is just a really funny phrase.

Also, I'm a geographer and every time anyone even jokingly claims that Earth is flat, I take psychic damage.
