Type in RIAA for a laugh.

The MPAA gets almost the same result. What a surprise.

[MaximumZero]

And yet, the European Union is almost overwhelmingly positive, while Gay Marriage is overwhelmingly negative. I'm not so sure about this thing.

And yet, the European Union is almost overwhelmingly positive, while Gay Marriage is overwhelmingly negative. I'm not so sure about this thing.

Semantics is important too. "Homosexuals" is almost entirely negative, while "gays" is mostly positive.

It's a strange thing.

[Descan]

That's because most people who dislike gays use the word "homosexuals" to de-humanise us. By focusing on the "sexual" thing, it makes us seem like deviants.

And people who are so-so or positive on gays, use the word gays.

It's sort of the same thing for gay marriage. Most positive depictions use "Same-sex marriage", negative "gay marriage."

If I'm wrong, "Same-sex marriage" will have a positive rate. That's my hypothesis, time to test it!

Edit: Oh god I am so wrong. xD 97% negative. WHOOPS.

[scriver]

I can't open the "how does it work?" link on my phone, could someone copypaste what it says there for me?

Also, the internet is negative about crying. Stupid internet.

Edit: Oh god I am so wrong. xD 97% negative. WHOOPS.

And this is on the Internet, too... sadly, I fear that The World Is Not Ready. :I

[IronyOwl]

I've discovered a new fixation.

Type in RIAA for a laugh.

I think I'm gonna be here a while.

Also apparently 0.1% of the internet is indifferent about pie. 82.5% is positive about rubrics.

Also, it is inconclusive about itself. Interesting... (the same is true of "fuckin' miracles," if you were wondering)

Semantics is important too. "Homosexuals" is almost entirely negative, while "gays" is mostly positive.

It's a strange thing.

"Elderly people" gets 17.8% negative, 69.3% positive, 12.9% negative, while "the elderly" gets 1% neg, 4.6% pos, 94.4% ind.

Maybe people really like old dogs?


Also, depravity was positive. Decadence was overwhelmingly positive. Morals were overwhelmingly indifferent.

This is fun (which was 21% negative, incidentally).

[Karlito]

'Star Wars' is 64% positive, and yet 'George Lucas' is 97% negative.

[Descan]

There is no 'yet' about that. It's fairly obvious.

[FearfulJesuit]

Things about which the internet is positive:
Dominatrixes
Pedophiles
Apple
Facebook
Twitter
Dwarf Fortress (with more of a margin than Minecraft, I should add).
God
Jesus
Yahoo
Ragtime
Jazz
Rock and Roll
Hip Hop
Techno
Rap
Midget porn
Goatse
Blue Waffle
Two Girls One Cup

A word to the wise: if you don't know what the last three of these are, don't even think about googling them. It was also 100% positive about Lemonparty and Tubgirl. Don't google those either.

Things about which the internet is negative:
Child porn
Love
AOL
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Heavy Metal
Dubstep
Republicans
Democrats
Conservatives (with a 95.6% margin)
Liberals
Socialists
Libertarians (but less than all the above political groups, it seems...)
Girlfriends and boyfriends (both at 98.5%.)
Husbands
Wives


The only thing I could find that the internet didn't care about was Microsoft.

It was also 97.5% positive about Rick Santorum (what the fuck internet), otherwise positive about Hillary Clinton, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, David Cameron and Nick Clegg, and negative about Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Stephen Harper. It was positive in the 90% range about 'labour' but marginally negative about the Labour Party (and detests the Lib Dems); on the Canadian side it was negative about the NDP. Would anyone like to hypothesise why?

[JoshuaFH]

How is it drawing these conclusions?

[ToonyMan]

[Pnx]

I prefer mine of:

Conclusion

It seems the internet cannot decide what to make of pnx.

Which sounds about right.

[Kadzar]

I just opened up the pantry and found a whole mess of dead ants. It seems laying out cornmeal really works (took about a week).

How is it drawing these conclusions?

I'm going to guess magic, of which the internet is 28.7% negative, 61.3% positive, and 10.1% indifferent.

[Solifuge]

Aww... the internet is 80-100% against Solifuges, depending on how you name them.
