You've found the EastBayRag vote page. Here, you get the opportunity to let us know what you think. Each week, we will have votes on important issues. Well, probably not important issues, more like trivial things that come to mind on a Sunday morning after a belly full of beer from a Saturday night.
This week's current vote is shown above. After the votes are in, EBR will provide in depth analysis of the results so you can find out if you are running with the crowd or if you're out there on your own. You never know, you may even learn something, but that's highly unlikely. Analysis of last week's vote is shown below. If you want to see historic votes, checkout the vote archives.
Oh! And the cool thing before I forget, the graphs update as you vote ...... Wow! And what's more, the colors are allocated randomly, so each time you refresh the page, you will see different colors on the graphs. (F5 is normally the shortcut key to refresh, but may depend on your browser.) Go on .... try it.
A rather simple and yet highly dangerous question. No cheating. Is there a seahorse emoji?
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes selected from the following:
OK, so those of you that did cheat used AI and that is why this is a dangerous question. If you ask any AI (well, at least any of the main AI being Chat GPT, Gemini and Claude) whether there has been a seahorse emoji, it will tell you confidently that there has and still is one. It is not true. There is no seahorse emoji in the unicode character set or on Apple or Android keyboards. If you subsequently ask the AI to search the web for the emoji, it either freezes or apologies for getting it wrong before. It is, apparently, a function of the AI having looked at Reddit (the world's biggest source of bollocks) and read articles people have posted claiming there was once a seahorse emoji. This appears to make the AI hallucinate and think there was or still is one when, in fact, there has never been one.
