You folks are really exaggerating. How is this survey weird? The random questions in groups of 3 make it easy to compare 3 features instead of rating 60 different features by most wanted to least wanted. In aggregate from thousands of replies, they can sort all answers.

It's the "most wanted" language. I don't blame common folks associating "most wanted" with "I want this!" when in fact they don't mean it.

But the language is clear. From these 3 features, choose the one you want the most and the one you want the least 🤔

The language is not clear.

" As a vegetarian, which of these three options you want the least and which you want the most? You MUST choose to continue:

  1. Chicken sandwich.
  2. A kick in the balls.
  3. Pork sandwich.

"

You are saying that a reasonable person (vegetarian in this case, and disclaimer: I am not vegetarian) would say "well, I want a kick in the balls the least, so I'll choose that. Now, fuck, I HATE chicken sandwiches and I HATE pork sandwiches. They both make me puke. But if I have to choose, I guess I'll go for the chicken sandwich. Hey pollster, I want the chicken sandwich the most." And the pollster writes "Chester wants the chicken sandwich the most." Yeah, very clear.

That's the typical "if you were in a deserted island" scenario that vegetarians and vegans are very familiar with. Given those 3 options:

1 > 2 > 3

You're missing the point, but that's fine. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll stop things here. Let's talk about something else.

How's your day going?
