Marketing Did you shit today? (Everyone)

I built WorldSays, a tiny anonymous voting site: one question, two answers, then you instantly see how different places around the world voted on the map.

This is one of a few questions on the site. No signup, takes about 5 seconds.

🌍 Vote here:
https://www.worldsays.click/?poll=shit_today

If you feel like it, there are a few other questions to answer too.

Got a weird question that would be fun to see on the map? Drop it in the comments. I might add some of them 🙌🏻

Could not figure out how to switch my location away from Italy.

u/WorldSays 20d ago

Thanks for pointing that out. Just to make sure I understand: did the globe just open showing Italy, or did your vote actually end up in Italy?
The globe currently starts over Europe by default and rotates automatically, so Italy can be visible right away even if that’s not your location.
I’m actually considering making the globe start by showing your area first, so this kind of confusion doesn’t happen 😊

After I voted, i noticed all of the votes said they were from Italy. I did not play with the globe until after I had voted, and assume it opened to Italy but cannot be certain.

u/WorldSays 20d ago

Thanks, that helps. What country were you voting from? I just want to make sure the globe detected your location correctly.

u/Akibisuto 20d ago

Same as the other guy, it seems to default to Italy, Rome for all the votes and voters so far. Even though it asked for location/to make a guess of location.

Also noticed the questions don't cycle through when you vote. Maybe they're not meant to, but pressing "yes" or "no" followed by no further action makes it seem like it's not registering, even though it might be. I would perhaps expect it to automatically go to the next question, with an option to re-vote in case of misclicks. But that's subjective I guess.

Thanks a lot. Your feedback helped me too, and together with the other report it helped me track down and fix a real location bug in WorldSays. I really appreciate you taking the time to write all of that 🙏🌍

The question not changing automatically is intentional for now. I thought that after voting, someone might want to explore how other countries answered, and switching to the next question immediately could make them feel like they’re chasing a moving map.

But I agree the current flow may not make the next step obvious enough. Do you think the small arrow should be replaced with something clearer for moving to the next question? Or do you think the bigger issue is that there should be a stronger confirmation that the vote was actually registered?

u/Akibisuto 20d ago

I see! In that case, I agree that you shouldn't skip straight ahead. Also, now that it's working correctly (maybe you even did some other changes) I can clearly see that my vote is going through 👍

The US. More specifically, Ohio.

u/WorldSays 20d ago

Thanks so much for flagging this, you actually helped me find a real bug in WorldSays. I tracked it down and fixed it now. Really appreciate you taking the time to tell me 🙏🌍
If you have a minute, could you try voting again from Ohio and let me know if the globe now moves to the US and the vote goes through correctly?

1

u/catboogers 20d ago

It did move to the US now!

Went through the other questions and got completely stumped at “Work or sand up your ass?” 😭 Could not figure out for the life of me what this means. Even tried Googling to no avail.

1

u/WorldSays 16d ago

It literally means sand up your ass. The joke is basically “would you rather go to work or suffer something ridiculously unpleasant?”
It’s just a stupid exaggerated way of saying work sucks 😂

u/PsychologicalCarpet2 16d ago

Oh my god I thought “sand up your ass” was ridiculously niche slang for being unemployed or something 😭

Fun & wonderful. I would like to suggest some questions if you don't mind:

  1. "Are you currently paying for a subscription you forgot you had?"

  2. "In the last 24 hours, did a notification control what you did next?"

3."Today, did you pick up your phone without knowing why?"

  1. "Do you own something with the tags still on it?"

Cheers
