Thank you all again for participating! <3
Surprised it's a free text box and not a selector/drop down. That's going to be fun to sanitize the results!
I spent about 10 seconds looking at what n8n provides for dropdowns and decided I'd rather deal with a text input than manually inputting all the different countries in their UI... :')
Also, I can now add a statistic with what % of Tildes users can follow simple instruction. >:) (cough @TaylorSwiftsPickles cough)
Caught red-handed. What can I say, I'm a huge brat
It's you, hi, you're the problem it's you 🎶
Not that I'm being pedantic (I'm totally being pedantic), but I don't actually think the instructions are that simple. Like I realise the UK is a bit of an exception, but as per the instructions to 'include the full country name', should I be writing: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? Or just United Kingdom? Or The United Kingdom? Or just Great Britain? Or just England (the country (within the country) that I actually live in)?
Yes.
Thank you, highly clarifying :)
I'll be sure to do so when I answer
So U. S. of America. Got it.
Same for the Netherlands. Is the full country name "Netherlands", "The Netherlands" or "Kingdom of the Netherlands"?
Upper Belgium of course.
Anyone that submits "Upper Belgium" as their response will be counted as living in Belgium, you have been warned. :P
That’s a crappy UI but I bet you could one-prompt an LLM to make a bookmarklet that auto-fills all of the fields with valid countries from ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes, using
Intl.DisplayNamesfor the labels. No biggie now, but yeah depending on how many responses you get that could be a lot to normalize. Also who knows what shenanigans @Sunbutt23 and @cqns are up to…As for me I wasn’t sure what to put. My mother was from Pavarek and my father from Oltavia. They conceived me on vacation in San Lucaro but I was born in Faronde during the Wessaran occupation of present-day Jorvash, but I expatriated to Qamarat where I now hold dual-citizenship with my ancestral home of Veyskor. For tax purposes I live on a tugboat in the Sea of Hadrava.
Tugboat toot toot
But is it still a tugboat if you're not tugging anything? If you are tugging, say, a barge with your living quarters, then you live on the barge and not the tugboat no?
If the tugboat’s anchored, technically I’m tugging the whole continent.
Just whatever plate you're anchored to maybe. Then maybe the county that claims the most land on that plate is where you should fill in the survey :3
I just figured not following instructions was proof that I am in the country that I entered abbreviated.
U S A! U S A!
I apologize for my answer already
I look forward to the unsanitized result
Unfortunately, United States. Does it count that I want to live in New Zealand? ;-;
I'm curious to see how many users (at least those who answer the survey) are from the States and Canada... Very few english speaking websites/services have majority non-US/Canadian users.
You can still submit your own suggestions for questions...
