i need to clean the dataset in a more systematic way – someone has no doubt already done this, but it’s good practice – but here’s a few things that struck me as interesting. note that i looked at a bunch of things and didn’t correct for that, that i looked at them in a sloppy way, and that of course i went right for mindkilling stuff.
for all the talk about consequentialism and scrupulosity, metaethics has approximately zero effect on how good of a person you think you are
nrx types should switch their conspiracy theories away from the jews puritans and towards quakers
comments section regulars are skewed in the way i’d expect, but i’m a bit surprised there are so few of them. imagine if we deployed even a fraction of argumate’s power…!
ressentiment is small but real (sample above straight cis men only; cis women have opposite trend but obv noisier) but the real trend is that the real incels have no opinion on feminism. (all nonresponse results are correlated with each other so that could be a part of it, idk. i said i was sloppy!)
everybody’s penis is huge
neat!
i’m still baffled by the graph for “find kink at least a little bit sexy”:
(last one is “explicitly none of the above”)
like, 6% even-a-little-furries?! how???
am i furry friends georg?! (i mean, trans, so yes, but.)
but even more puzzling, more doms than subs?!
like, confirmed by next question:
ssc truly is a bizarro world.
(i’d love to know if at least all the trans people are furries, and if the doms are super gross and thus outside my circles, but the sex data is unfortunately not in the public data set.)
Lactation fetish is more popular than foot fetish or furries? Only 12% like leather? It’s leather! Who is not at least a little bit turned on by chicks in leather?
I suspect the Dom Mystery might be that the single most common set of kinks among straight guys IME is like… lowkey dom? Like, they like tying you up, calling you a slut, being a bit forceful, maybe a bit of spanking, but they are really uninterested in most BDSM stuff. And those guys are usually not switches.
What do the 36.7% of people who don’t get off on any of the Generic Kinks jerk off to? I’m sort of concerned that the other 64% of us has made all the porn kinky and now they have no material.
I can’t speak for everyone who took the SSC survey and checked off “none of the above” on the Generic Kinks list, but I can speak for one of them:
It’s not that I don’t *have* fetishes, it’s that I have *very specific* fetishes that weren’t on the list. Good porn can indeed be tricky to find, but making more vanilla porn won’t help me at all: I’m not into that either.

Mythbusters ended too soon. I feel like The Cask Of Amontillado is exactly the myth they would have tested.
Like, figuring out how long it takes the mortar to dry. Finding the maximum amount of time before knocking down a recently built brick wall. Establishing the best place on a recently bricked wall to topple it and escape.
And then, doing all of that while drunk.
Mythbusters, you left us too soon.
actually, they made that episode – I have a copy of it in my basement, wanna see?
Would I?!

No horse in these races can have the same name as any other horse that has ever entered in the history of horseracing. They had appropriate ones at first. Then, slowly, like profiles on the Gaia forums, all the good user IDs URLs horse names got taken. Currently, they’re being named by rich old white guys. If our generation ever starts participating in this, I anticipate solemn-faced announcers on ESPN498 speculating on the Vegas odds for x_FURY-666-WRATH_x.
Not necessarily. If you’re creative enough, you can invent a euphoninic name that no one has ever used before. Or, if you aren’t, you can just make a computer do it for you like ilzolende did.
For the longest time, Starcraft the horse was what you got if you looked up “starcraft” on Wikipedia.
Not even a disambiguation page! You just went straight to the horse.
It took so many edit wars to get it to the current state where Wikipedia finally accepted that most people typing “starcraft” into Wikipedia are looking for the video game, not the horse.
