Those metal ones were better than the modern plastic ones. Even though they felt cold.

Geographical differences.

Here they were rare. They mostly offered fore mentioned books, vacuum cleaners, home renovations. They were really aggressive in their sales tactics especially when it came to old people. That's why they had a bit of a scammer reputation.

It was common that many lonely old ladies had the same book series and shopping channel level crap devices.

This is the country that is all pissy for not being considered for EU membership.

We already have one authoritarian shit stain to deal with, don't need another one.

Remember the time when there were telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen selling dictionary, encyclopedias and history books. Always wondered who the fuck buys those from a shady dude at the door.

3 point

Last three on the list.

Never actually owned dictionary or encyclopedia. somebody just left them at my place, because nobody wanted them, so I used them as a door stop. If they are considered my property, because they were abandoned at my property then just 1 point.

Good job for AI. I'm still too sane.

I'm guessing this means official titles, names or otherwise somehow constricted words.

I can easily extend it by adding few words: "Antiikkilentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilasehdokas" meaning "antique airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student candidate".

 

Lets say you get abducted by aliens.

They inform you that they want to make contact with human individuals, not the entire humanity. They have a limited telepathy and can "scan" for human mental traits like spiritualistic / non-spiritualistic, artistic / non-artistic, introverted / extroverted, anxious / chill, low / med / high IQ, technology oriented, business savvy, mathematically gifted, socially gifted, scientific, etc.

They want you to define traits that would make encounters go smoothly and be representative of humans.

Without knowing anything about those aliens or their interests. What is your answer?
