Jan 2. 13:31.54 is the creation date of this. Does this close at precisely 13:31.54 Jan 9? By what timezone?

What happens if there is a tie? It is not impossible

@JussiVilleHeiskanen resolves 50/50

@traders market creator is inactive so I've made the resolution poll

@TheAllMemeingEye I didn’t get pinged, do you have to be a mod/creator of the market to use @traders ?

@jumpman_folder oh, I assumed it would work, sorry

@mods is this true?

Are we doing like a cheese drop at midnight for this?

Like the official cheese of manifold for 2025 is…

10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.cheddar

bought Ṁ50 NO

@Tagger yo why did you pump cheddar up to 99%? The poll isn't even made yet lol

Does the highest prob win?

bought Ṁ50 NO

@Ebcc1 it says in the title

Resolves by poll EOY 2024

@TheAllMemeingEye it really doesn’t what does that mean? What does it resolve to what are the criteria?

@Ebcc1 my plan is to tag @AmmoLlama , and if after a few days they don't respond, I'll make a poll myself asking which of these options is people's favourite, then ask the mods to resolve according to that

IYKYK

You guys are a bunch of sick f*cks.

The cheese with the highest percentage wins right?

I think Parmesan should win and Cheddar should lose

@PaulHan I think cheddar is likely to win purely on name recognition

sold Ṁ11 NO

@TheAllMemeingEye actually, after checking Google Trends I must admit I was mistaken, it seems that while in my home country (the UK) cheddar is most popular (maybe due to its origin here in the eponymous town), parmesan (to me a rather obscure cheese used in Italian fine dining) is somehow most popular in the US (maybe due to Italian American influence?)

And based on my poll it seems the manifold userbase is primarily in the US

bought Ṁ1 YES

Mozzarella cheese but better

Well this lowers Manifold's status. Hoping the wagerers are underestimating the voters.

@CozyFuzzy Can you explain these contradictory online sources on the nature of duck milk/cheese?

https://libertycheesesteaks.com/what-is-duck-cheese/

Duck cheese is a type of cheese that is made from the milk of ducks. It is a relatively uncommon type of cheese, but it is gaining popularity among cheese enthusiasts and chefs.

Duck cheese is known for its unique flavor and texture, as well as its versatility in culinary applications.

[...]

Duck cheese is made from the milk of ducks. The milk is usually collected from ducks that are raised specifically for their milk, rather than for meat or eggs.

Can you milk a duck?

The answer is no, you cannot milk a duck like you would a cow or a goat. Unlike mammals, ducks do not produce milk in their bodies. While they may have mammary glands, these glands do not produce milk.

Ducks are birds and thus have a different reproductive system compared to mammals. Female ducks have a cloaca, a single opening used for both excretion and reproduction. They do not possess mammary glands designed to produce milk.

Milk production is a unique characteristic of mammals, including cows, goats, and humans. It serves as a vital source of nutrition for their offspring. Ducks, on the other hand, provide sustenance for their ducklings by regurgitating partially digested food.

[...]

Is duck milk a thing?

No, duck milk is not a thing. Unlike mammals, ducks do not produce milk, so there is no such thing as duck milk.

[...]

Can you drink duck milk?

No, you cannot drink duck milk because ducks simply do not produce milk.

[...]

Is duck milk used in any industries?

No, duck milk is not used in any industries since it cannot be obtained.

The other search results are all about duck meat rather than milk/cheese. Is duck cheese like head cheese i.e. jellified meatloaf but specifically made out of ducks?

@TheAllMemeingEye go fuck yourself you can't

Duck and cheese can be prepared in a variety of ways, including in dips, grilled cheese sandwiches, and charcuterie boards

bought Ṁ1 YES

@CozyFuzzy so duck cheese indeed isn't actually a type of cheese then and arguably isn't a valid option on this market?

go fuck yourself

*go duck yourself 🦆
