07/07 - Silly Sunday!

Has this filter always been here and I just never noticed it, @ChrisTurk?

 

uhh probably.. i think the random cuss words on there are from around when season 1 of the good place got put on netflix lol

 

Did people complain about profanity or is it a pre-emptive thing?

 

I got rejected from a 30 cent hit. Can someone translate what in the world this means: "The allotted does not suffice to fulfill the task requirement."

 

I assume the HIT had a "Native English speakers only" requirement?

 

Sounds like they were trying to say you don't meet the requirements but they had an aneurysm midway through.

 

"You're too quick, there won't be a second date"

 

Neither.. In the show all cuss words are replaced with milder euphemisms like:

fuck => fork
shit => shirt
ass => ash

Etc etc.. I think it's funny, so I added some to the forum.. removed some of the ones that are more annoying, but did add the in replace of y'know what because it's also funny.

 

Best 38 seconds of their life though, guaranteed

 

ummmmmmm nah

 

I actually thought it might be a time thing but then I looked on turkerview and saw that others completed it about a minute faster than I did. I don't even care about the rejection, its 30 cents and would take about 900 rejections to even hurt me. I'm just absolutely curious as to what they were going for lol.

 

Counting the 30 seconds it takes to find, grab, and light a cigarette afterward is kinda cheating...

 

Did you do it as soon as you accepted it? They probably used MTurk's velocity filter which is booty on toast.

 

I don't remember. But if it's an underreported requester I generally let it sit an extra few minutes usually anyway. Oh well, it's no big deal. I just thought the wording was funny.

 

Protip: this can be dramatically reduced by always keeping a spare cigarette in your <redacted>, though the smell might make you nauseated...

 

I honestly have no idea, just being a buttface because why not, and it sounded like a too-quick situation. Gad you had that buffer tho

 

I mean...I quit smoking a couple months ago, but I guess it's always good to be accommodating for one's partner....

Anybody else get irrationally nervous that they fucked up when they use a variation of "there"? I feel uneasy using irony too because after that Alanis Morissette song I'm not sure I understand the concept.
