this is hilarious XD thank you, Scuttles 

Name: Hex

Pickles: I recently learned that pickled mango was a thing; I also recently tried some jewelry metalworking and pickled my rings. I think it's fascinating the wide range of useless things humanity has decided to pickle.

Height in inches:

Height in centimeters: I'm not even going to deign to answer that previous one (metric system for life)—or this one, because I can't remember, but I'm sure you get the point

Opinion on soup: I think that many people say things aren't soups when they obviously are—for example, a swimming pool with swimmers and lane lines and stuff in it is obviously technically a soup.

The proper way to ride a bus: quietly. without singing 99 bottles on repeat or blasting loud music or talking at all D:

If I have 37 purple pickles on a rooftop, what is the value of beans?: depends on the rooftop, the rgb shade of purple, and if you're planning to share. But if the consumer price index is 100 in that year that'd also make things easier. My current bet is ~$2.74 per liter of lima beans

Is Apple or Android superior: well you can't eat an android, so that should be obvious

Opinion on the state of the world: ...there are a few choice words I'm not going to say on here, but generally very grim and sad in a hilariously cynical way

Do dragons exist: yeah they're what the UN modeled the myth of dinosaurs after (to justify the "existence" of the robotic drones we call "birds", we've been over this)

Are humans actually sharks in disguise?: I really hope not

Are you joking about the dragon part? I personally disagree with the robotic drone bird thing but if you sincerily believe that I respect that, I'm just not sure if you're serious or not.

yeah, I'm joking :) though I did meet a kid once who told me how she thought AI was scary because birds were robots who recharged on telephone wires or something and I still can't decide if she was messing with me or actually believed it...

About your soup response- fun fact! Did you know that in Mandarin, the phrase for ppl soaking in hot springs is "pao tang" (or something like that, can't quite remember - oh wait yup google translate agrees, except when you put "pao tang" in it says "taking a bath", which is even funnier)? Translation: making soup! :)

(you can see why this is my favorite language, even if I weren't biased)

Favorite food: i have way too many...

Pickles: meh, they're alright. good with sandwiches and in tuna salad.

Personality: INFP, and proud of it. i'm very introverted and shy, but very chaotic and weird at heart. i am afraid of being judged the wrong way and first impressions (for me) are everything. i don't like being embarassed, whether by myself or somebody else.

Height in inches: 60-61 inches, i'm pretty short for my age.

Height in centimeters: 153.4, i think.

Name:Sinusoidal Polyglot

Age:10

Pronouns:he/him

Appearance:Please, this is so hard to describe

Favorite food:sushi

Pickles:Normal kosher dill pickles

Personality:Introverted, quirky, and obsessed with particle physics

Zodiac: My Greek zodiac is Aries, my Chinese zodiac is the Snake.

Height in inches: 61

Height in centimeters: 155

Opinion on soup:Depends on which soup. I like lentil soup and a family recipe called Sopa de Avas (bean soup), butI don't like other kinds. However, I do like most soups.

The proper way to ride a bus:With a seatbelt on, and in one of the backseats, sitting normally, unless you are the driver. Then you can sit up front, but still with a seatbelt on and aware.

Favorite animal: Penguin, dog, or dolphin, i can't choose

If I have 37 purple pickles on a rooftop, what is the value of beans?: What do you mean by value? The "value" of beans would be the same whether you have 37 purple pickles on a rooftop or not, unless the placement of those pickles required the annihilation of beans or the production of more.

Is Apple or Android superior:I don't know; I use Apple but Google is also just as cool. I think you mean iOS by the way.

Opinion on the state of the world:It is deepening into annihilation unless we fix things.

Are humans actually sharks in disguise?:No, otherwise we would have known by accidentally pulling off our human skin to reveal shark skin. Don't forget, X-rays do exist, and can detect sharks.

 

OK, this was a great quiz, but two of the questions (IMHO, u can probalby guess which ones) were completely stupid, but others were very thought-provoking.

forms! i love forms. 

Name: my cb name is pangolin. my real name is *is yanked off stage with vaudeville hook*

Age: fourteen

Pronouns: she/they

Appearance: i'm too tall for my liking, and i have lightish freckled skin. my eyes are greenish-bluish-grayish, and i have red hair. (there's like one other redhead in my school, and people are always asking "hey is that you're brother?" and when i say no, they're like "are you sure??" and i'm like "oh, wait, yeah, you're right!! i totally forgot i had a brother who went to this school. how silly of me.") i like to wear sweaters and almost exclusively jeans - they're the superior type of pants, fight me - and the same beat up pair of converse i've had for like two years. i have a tendency to take notes on my hand, so my left hand's constantly covered in messy scribbles and smudged ink. 

Favorite food: empanadas or momos (a tibetan dumpling)! 

Pickles: yesss mango picklessss and all pickles (not school lunch pickles though - well, those can't really be classified as true pickles anyway)

Personality: i'm pretty quiet and a chronic overachiever and overthinker and over the garden wall enthusiast. my burning hatred for chemistry class is matched only by my hatred for our mile runs in gym class. i like to think i'm funny, but i'm probably not to anyone but myself.

Zodiac: asparagus (just kidding what's november? scorpio, right? silly little stingy scorpions) 

Height in inches: uhhh idk let's sayyy 67.25? this is just guesswork

Height in centimeters: based off my previous answer - 170.815. but i really don't know

Opinion on soup: sOUP!!! i once got into an argument with my eighth grade music teacher about soup. i don't really remember the specifics - just that there was soup involved. there is some graffiti near my house that says "soup" - it's not even nice-looking graffiti. someone just spraypainted the word "soup" on the side of the building. but i love it - it is the most pure and honest form of art. and i can do a good impression of pea soup. sOuP! >:D

The proper way to ride a bus: swinging from the bars and trying not to fly forward when the bus breaks because you have NO upper arm strength, my goodness. 

Favorite animal: pangolins. jellyfish. pigeons. the rosy maple moth.

If I have 37 purple pickles on a rooftop, what is the value of beans?: well, that depends on the type of bean, of course. are we talking about lima beans? kidney? pinto? my cat's toe beans? 

Allergies: dust, grass, cats (despite owning two), formerly peanuts but thankfully not anymore, like eight types of trees. and i can't really eat dairy or gluten or sugar but i haven't been tested to see if that's an allergy or just in intolerence. 

Is Apple or Android superior: well, apples don't dream of electric sheep, do they?

Opinion on the state of the world: 2/10 would not recommend

Do dragons exist: well, komodo dragons exist - but why stop there?

Are humans actually sharks in disguise?: no, it's sharks that are obviously humans in disguise. duh. 

that was fun! thanks, Scuttles!! and yeah, why do we CBers enjoy filling out forms so much??

just wanted to say that I thought this was very funny and witty and it provided me with something really entertaining to read on an otherwise ordinary Saturday morning :) and in reply to what you said about your personality, yes, you're definitely great at being funny! :D

perhaps we enjoy forms because it gives us a chance to ramble on about lots of interesting things? For me personally there's the added enticement of the actual appearance of the form, with the questions and the empty spaces just waiting to be filled in. I don't know why it's so appealing, but I think that's one of the main factors that makes me enjoy it :)
