Gotta love that 5-10% that are just contrarian, misguided, uninformed, careless, or picking random numbers.
There's some statistics principle about how, like, 5% of people are just fucking around in every survey and will choose absurd answers for fun. I don't remember what it was called though. Big foot's constant? Moon landing principle? Something like that.
Lizardman constant.
There's also web crawlers and survey farms that can (in)advertantly influence results.
Running out of countries to sacrifice so you gotta make more... wait that was just the British empire... Edit Oops meant to reply to @WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net
