What the heck. 13-18 and 18-25. 25-35 and 35-45. 35-45 and 45-60. Those who are 18, 35, 45 or 60 years old cannot participate in this poll as the options are ambiguous.
Nothing quite as fun as slowly de-anonymizing one's HN account over time :)
I've considered using a public HN account as so many do, but looking over my comment history, I write too many dumb comments. This is despite not even intentionally shiteposting as I do on most sites.
This is my garbage account where I post stupid embarrassing things. For real stuff I use another one. I’d hope this is typical but I’m afraid lots of people are leaving long trails linked directly to their real identity.
I wonder whether there is a HN algorithm involved in the order; I've seen this happen to other polls, and genuinely interested in understanding what happens to the ordering.
Nah, we probably are more wary about answering this type of poll. Them young'uns just give all their private data to anyone who asks, not so those of us who have been around a bit longer.
The funny thing is you basically just revealed the same info in text form. Unless you’re actually 27 and this was all an elaborate misdirection. Blink twice if you’re 27.

Is this the case though? Pretty sure the votes are private, and probably only visible to the the few mods of HN.
That's how old I used to be.
