I'm always suspicious of these sorts of posts. Feels like the answers could be used to profile the users who reply. Maybe the internet has made me way too paranoid.

Sorry! I just thought it would be fun to see the answers, it didn't cross my mind to try and profile anyone.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

I know. Just something that crosses my mind when I see these sorts of questions.
