Alberta-based mostly-lurker. No longer really an astronomer but not calling myself an engineer for Important Legal Reasons. Socially liberal but fiscally socialist.

Well, that's not terribly enlightening. I chalk it up to the questions being heavily US-centric. Fun though!

A "findmypolitics.com" results screen showing a bunch of vaguely left aligned things with almost the same result.

Radio Telescope@radio-telescope· May 17

Huh, I'm right-er than I would have guessed. Some of the questions were aggressively US-biased, though, which may have tweaked it.

Damn, emoji search, you really had to do this?

Yeah I don't know how to post properly so from here on out my bsky is just going to be internet pictures that I can't put in the family group chat.

A two-dimensional plot entitled "the mood meter"; axes are "high energy - low energy" and "unpleasant-pleasant". Regions specifically labelled are "mom would be sad" (lowest energy and pleasantness), "it's so over" (low energy and pleasantness), "it is what it is" (medium energy and pleasantness), "we are so fucking back" (high energy and pleasantness), "let's fucking gooooooo" (highest energy and pleasantness), "we vibing" (pleasant and low-energy) and "fuck it we ball" (high energy low pleasantness). P.S. please let me know if this alt text was longer than is useful, I'm not sure how far to take it.
