@msh210 and @IsaacMoses who can calculate faster the average score of all PTIJ questions from this past season?
Ready, set, go!

@Yez 8^P

4:12 AM
@mbloch note that the older posts have also had more time to accumulate votes
 
@IsaacMoses Y"K
@mbloch That is an important number to take into consideration for any proposal with a minimum average score that one must maintain.

@IsaacMoses Dogs like bananas? Is that a thing?
TZT
 
@Yez bananas?
 
@IsaacMoses Also, a lot of the easy jokes are already taken. Also, it's not as much of a novelty.
 
4:18 AM
@IsaacMoses Yes, that dog is salivating over bananas.
and now TZT for rizzle
 
@DoubleAA well, we're not suffering for lack of quantity
 
4:53 AM
@Yez And... beets? Hershey's Kisses?
I think the solution to our PTIJ problems is to disallow posting PTIJ questions during the second 1/6 of any minute (from xx:xx:11 through xx:xx:20): those have a lower score. We should encourage posting during the first 1/6 of each minute instead: those have a higher score. (data.stackexchange.com/judaism/query/462937)
(Yes, I'm kidding.)

@msh210 we should have a chat room for purim-data-in-jest next year
PTIJ keyword for searching: meta-q: What qualities are most highly- correlated with high scores?

Q: Did Borat originate the notion that Jews shape shift?

ThufirIn the 2006 Mockumentary Borat, two of the characters believe that Jews can "shape-shift", which is also noted in the last section here. In 2015, in the wake of the Charlie Hedbo attacks, Daily Beat reporter Dana Kennedy claimed that at least one person claimed that some Jews could shape-shift i...

Q: Make the Stack Exchange Hot Questions feed include all HNQs

Christian RauI noticed that the Stack Exchange Hot Questions feed only comprises the 30 topmost HNQs rather than all 100. I wonder why that is and if there is a good reason for it, when the complete list isn't unhealthily large either with just 100 instead of 30. I would thus hereby propose to extend the fee...

@MonicaCellio Yup, that'd be helpful.

@IsaacMoses Any way to only count votes from that year? I think so, though it'll be a more complex query.
There are 4 questions left to be edited for Hagaddah - Mi Yodeya?. Any volunteers?

@IsaacMoses @DoubleAA @Daniel @Yez @msh210 @mbloch Any takers? (Now i'm getting personal.)
 
7:46 PM
(Since i pinged a whole bunch of people, maybe just mention it here if you're working on one so that others don't at the same time.)
 
@msh210 Seriously, though, this is my main objection to setting a limit. I just don't see any correlation between more posts and lower score. I just see one user who posts a lot and also happens to have a low average score
 
@msh210 But what if my computer's clock doesn't match with SE's?
 
@Scimonster I'm out of town through the weekend, but if there are still questions to be worked on when I get back, I will look at them iy"h
 
8:02 PM
@Daniel I had an informal chat with our most-prolific PT poster. He didn't realize how large a proportion he'd asked and he will pay more attention to volume in the future.
 
@MonicaCellio Great! So hopefully this problem will just go away
 
8:21 PM
@Scimonster I don't know what that poster means, but in some contexts "blind" can mean "mostly but not totally blind". Like, in the US you're legally blind at 20/200, but that's still enough to see stuff (very blurrily). The top "E" on the eye chart is calibrated for 20/200 I think.
In my state, 20/70 is the floor for getting a driver's license (daytime only).

@msh210 I think those other things are hams.
