@strutheo rate cuts can resolve YES if you get a chance. Thanks!

sold Ṁ45 Answer #uplebrri06 YES

@ijk1 this is very confusingly worded. second overall or second in september?

@polymathematic second overall, of course.

@ijk1 i think @mods could na bc people seem confused on it

@strutheo Done.

The "countdown to AGI" is getting uncomfortably close. I will hang on for now, but I should know based on the monthly AGI polls to never bet on the NO side on that topic again.

@strutheo who do you think won the debate?

@strutheo This should resolve YES

opened a Ṁ6,000 Answer #df398023e84d YES at 99.0% order

This channel have posted several videos about soup this month with >1M views: https://youtube.com/shorts/CKcjrKrG-_s?si=OVNrxCsz5LfHKdlk https://youtube.com/shorts/AYrljjQe844?si=dxMZmoZFVE4IO5BF

@MugaSofer damn I never would've guessed this option would be resolved by indigenous African muckbang with the most unappetising soup known to humanity lol

See this question for more details about the latest answer added:

bought Ṁ100 Answer #stqgsmj4gy NO

@SteveSokolowski Note that there prior claimed results about 70b seem at odds with reality and third parties have found that its substantially worse. See here.

bought Ṁ148 Answer #7f9e04591ad4 YES
bought Ṁ5 Answer #1008645f82a2 YES

@strutheo Does "rumble crash boooom" count as an explosion?
https://xkcd.com/2980/

@ChristopherRandles i wont count it, could be a lot of things that go boom

Can a lava lake open up on a golf course without an explosive release of pressure? Perhaps so, but if there is also a boom sound ...

I think it's strongly suggested that there's an explosion, but it's not actually visible, so it shouldn't count for this.

bought Ṁ5 >= 26% of respondent... YES

This image can serve as a reference for the past polls.

@SteveSokolowski nice, thanks

@SteveSokolowski Does this include all medals, or only those awarded in September?

@TimothyJohnson5c16 All of them.

@strutheo We should probably clarify that we allow other news sources for this too.
