Edit: I accidentally refreshed the page and it offered alternative questions for ID validation, such as high school of graduation and SSN. But it's still absurd to expect someone to even humor the premise of the prompt.

Do most nonbelievers know their sign, or do they have no idea?

In the very rare case where it comes up, I almost always have to look up the answer. Why would I have the signs and their date ranges memorized? This is like asking someone whose only tangentially heard of D&D to name his favorite first level spell.

What? You don’t need to remember the ranges. Just look it up once and remember the single one for your DoB. Or am I missing something.

That example is very unfitting. Its more like your shoe size, just a single fact about yourself to remember. If you never wear shoes and dont talk to ppl about it you may forget, but it doesnt change throughout your life.

I have absolutely 0 connection with astrology and dont believe in any of it, but I still know my sign because I was probably told a few times as a kid.

Asking your shoe size would just be asking your birthday. It's more equivalent to asking an American what their European shoe size is or the other way around.

Its more like your shoe size...it doesnt change throughout your life.

Actually for some people it does. Especially through pregnancy

[–] tomi000 1 points 1 day ago

Youre right, also for old people

Its more like your shoe size

I buy shoes a lot more often than I check my horoscope.

[–] tomi000 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You do but others might not. Most people have way more interaction with zodiac signs than D&D

Oh how I wish that was true :(

And thats just the ones believing in it, far from the number of people occadionally coming into contact with it.

Well, I stand corrected.
