It’s also worth noting that this is famous enough that Amazon has offered a service called Mechanical Turk since 2005.

The implementation and service are both fine in theory, but you do need to be clear that what’s being paid for is humans pretending to be computers.

That could explain the difference in experiences. I filter out those communities as best I can given the tools available.

Per capita probably isn’t a good way to measure this.

Car deaths should probably be by miles driven.

The bag suspended from a stick is called a bindle was also real. I suspect these were just replaced by backpacks that were cheap/ubiquitous enough.

For me it also happens constantly with things like the crossword, which obviously can’t be listening.

Links between folks is part of it, but a lot is just ordinary coincidence.

Maybe English (Malta) if that’s an option

I’m mostly in favor of option one, but I am concerned that it could result in a cesspool filled with memes.

Without a good way to filter out memes, large communities that permit them can easily become unusable.

I had attributed that to our fuzzy food categories. Some of which are due to how ingredient usage doesn’t map well to botany, some is just marketing.

I suspect the perception of eggs as dairy could have shifted for practical reasons: lactose intolerance became more visible, and we needed a short way to say milk and milk products, without using the word milk.
