I have an army of dragons. But they aren't very effective against goblins so I use giant cave spiders instead.
There are dead babies all over my legendary dining hall and my population has halved. Thank you.

"Underage"? We do have a significant number of people here younger than eighteen. Rolling them all into one group seems kind of strange. 0-13, 14-18, perhaps?

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Same for the 40+ all being one, I consider the difference between 40 and 70 a bit more significant than that between 32 and 36.

Not surprised to find myself in the upper tail of the distribution.

Curious what age Footkerchief would be considered, since I suspect that he's the forum software itself turned sentient.

No representation for folks who are negative years old, how can you hope for proper accuracy without them?

Negative numbers are easy to add. Unfortunately, I'm about 8 + 17i years old, which is never represented by polls.

as of this post, 2 people report that they are 101+

I should put a poll up on my fortress drawbridge to identify the vampires, since it appears to be easy to identify them this way lol
