- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Rather than messing with the calendar itself, has aonyone ever thought of redefining the length of a second so that leap days become superfluous? What would be the catch compared to alternate calendar ideas (apart from having to modify every clock in existence of course)?
Well we'd eventually end up with it being the middle of the night at noon - that might cause some issues for a lot of people.
That's only a problem for those that go out into the big blue room. Sometimes they'll end up in the big black room instead. Real people that stay in the basement don't have those kind of problems.

Parents comment actually legitimately qualifies for every single mod option simultaneously.

Despite being technically true this is easily the most moronic thing I've read this week.

True, but % 4 would be an adequate approximation given the expected lifetime of most consumer products.
! % 1 would be an adequate approximation given the expected lifetime of many consumer products. Yes, I'm looking at you, Logitech.

"For example William III of England arrived at Brixham in England on 5 November (Julian calendar), after setting sail from the Netherlands on 11 November (Gregorian calendar)."
Don't underestimate the North Sea! It rivals the Bermuda Triangle when it comes to time travel.
