Yeah I don’t think anyone realized that everyone got the same word. Can’t blame em for babbling about it, but it’s a major bummer because now I’m obviously not going to play.
I thought I was done when I guessed oven, but there was no clear feedback saying I won. Went to the comments for the actual answer.
So my feedback: fun game! If possible, perhaps add something like “very close” if you guess something that’s almost the answer but not quite. Or oven could have just been wrong, since that wasn’t the actual answer.
Is it an oven? 👍 Is it a microwave oven? 👍 Is it a countertop microwave oven? 👍 Can it grill food? 👍 Is it a grill microwave oven? - exceeded the question limit, big reveal, answer was “microwave”. Interesting but I wasted a lot of questions trying to determine what kind of microwave it was because “microwave oven” was not accepted.
Even saying “oven” as correct threw me off. Ive never called a microwave an oven or a microwave oven. I was like starting to think maybe it wanted a specific brand of oven, or a synonym like stove
I had already narrowed the size down to a smallish (I forgot what I used for comparison) electronic cooking appliance so a full oven was already out. “Toaster oven” was negative, so I tried microwave oven route instead.
That was fun. Will it be one new word per day? It makes you think of solid questions to ask!
!I asked if it was primarily used by women (no), and that helped when I figured out it was a household item that could cook food haha. Grill was guess 19, and there are lots of things that can cook food, but most are primarily used by women so that leaves one option. Woo! Just barely got it :D!<
Another question asked was if it was before the internet (yes), so relying on stereotypes was more reasonable :) I was using cultural expectations pre-1990s
But just because something existed before the Internet doesn’t mean it doesn’t still exist now. You say you’re using pre-90s expectations, but it’s a modern object still - so why would that help at all?
But sexist stereotypes did exist before the internet (at a much higher rate than today). Using the logic of the past doesn’t mean it’s being sexist of today.
Kind of like if the answer was a job and it was before the internet (so, like pre~1990), it would be reasonable to assume women were not as prominent in a lot of things like they are today.
It (microwave) exists today, but it also was invented when sexist stereotypes were much bigger.
Lmao I got the answer 11 questions in, but because I called it a “microwave oven” instead of just a microwave, it didn’t count as correct until I asked “is it a microwave?” for my last question
We’ve implemented a fix to make it more lenient. Sometimes the synonyms and spellings catch us off guard (“raccoon” vs “racoon”), but we should have known about this one! Sorry about that.
It is definitely capable of responding with 🤷♂️, but neglects to do so in some expected areas.
“does it use a microprocessor?” 👍 “was it invented before 1970?” 👍
These are somewhat contradictory. No microwave in 1946-1971 could have had a microprocessor. If the answer is “sometimes yes, sometimes no” then 🤷♂️ is probably best.
So if the answer is yes and no (conditional versus a universal property of the thing), you always answer yes? I would consider that strange, but as long as it is applied consistently then I suppose it is fine.
This was my exact experience and I couldn’t figure out how to make it end. Was I supposed to guess which brand? Or was it something picky like a microwave oven?
