mxmerzSo I was feeling pretty good about equality. Then I decided to calculate the ‘most masculine’ and ‘most feminine’ colors. I was looking for the color names most disproportionately popular among each group; that is, the names that the most women came up with compared to the fewest men (or vice versa).
Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among women:
Dusty Teal
Blush Pink
Dusty Lavender
Butter Yellow
Dusky Rose
Okay, pretty flowery, certainly. Kind of an incense-bomb-set-off-in-a-Bed-Bath-&-Beyond vibe. Well, let’s take a look at the other list.
Here are the color names most disproportionately popular among men:
Penis
Gay
WTF
Dunno
Baige
I … that’s not my typo in #5—the only actual color in the list really is a misspelling of “beige”. And keep in mind, this is based on the number of unique people who answered the color, not the number of times they typed it. This isn’t just the effect of a couple spammers. In fact, this is after the spamfilter.
I weep for my gender.]]>color xkcdhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:mxmerz/b:63d10f6e6046/Earth Temperature Timeline2016-09-12T23:57:39+00:00

http://notebooks.jsvine.com/reverse-engineering-xkcd-frequency/
mxmerzAbout a week ago, Randall Munroe published Frequency, the 1331st entry in his xkcd webcomic series. Unlike most xkcd comics, it's animated — actually, 5-by-10 grid of animated GIFs. Each describes a scenario (e.g., "one birth," or "someone locks their keys in their care") and blinks at the scenario's purported frequency. The result: a beautiful, pulsating composition. If you haven't taken a look yet, do so now before reading on.]]>xkcd gif humor devhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:mxmerz/b:c9828b29249b/Star Sand2014-02-12T07:27:26+00:00

mxmerzWhen a guy goes into the bathroom, which urinal does he pick? Most guys are familiar with the International Choice of Urinal Protocol. It’s discussed at length elsewhere, but the basic premise is that the first guy picks an end urinal, and every subsequent guy chooses the urinal which puts him furthest from anyone else peeing. At least one buffer urinal is required between any two guys or Awkwardness ensues.
