This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

This was a survey given to adults about adults (and likely by adults, too)

From the actual survey data in the linked article:
Is there another page? I couldn't find a link with more info on the survey but every chart says they ask the question specifically about adults. I didn't look at the "actual percentage" studies but it would be pretty disingenuous to compare their surveys to the percentages of ALL citizens. If that was a bad assumption and they're actually comparing apples to oranges, please let me know!
And as for the survey respondents - you need to be 16 to make a YouGov account so they definitely weren't (deliberately) asking children.
It's literally in the methodology statement for the survey…
I'm happy to be corrected and I do agree it's a bit ambiguous but I don't really see any evidence that this study represents the entire population. It says right there that adults were surveyed and the questions include the word "adults"
Ha! I've looked at your comment history and modlog and you're really not. You get defensive and have difficulty remaining civil. I'm done with you, goodbye.
Lmao. Did I already seen your alt? Is it lilbokchoy?
Anyway,
That is the only part that even implies kids are included - in contrast to several parts that imply only adults.
Get a life, man
I don't know what that is. My alt died on 7/1 with Lemm.ee.
Good to see you continue to get defensive and struggle to remain civil.
Now I will block you, little child.
I was civil the whole time?
