this should be select multiple
I think that for it to be a wink, there needs to be a current subset of two eyes that are able to catch the focus of an observer, and then one of them needs to close
so it depends on the arrangement of eyes
I asked my sister this to annoy her
then thought it would be a good poll
we need some christmas themed polls next week
3 isn't a real choice, I agree with Bob that it's realistically either 2 or 5 (ignoring the word exact because that's dumb)
but yeah I think that for a wink to happen, you need to meet these conditions:
-Need to be a set of two eyes that can gain focus and trigger the "these are human eyes" response
-# (alternatively, any set of arrangements that can trigger that response, like a 👁️👁️👃 👁️👁️ type thing. )
-One eye, or one eye representative needs to fully close
and then anything that happens to the eyes outside of that subset don't matter. they can do whatever. it doesn't change anything
it's probably honestly 1 until you get to a stupidly large number
what about a medusea Pirate
with a forehead 3rd eye
that's what I was trying to reason around, when it's symmetrically imbalanced
the 3rd eye isn't in the question, unless you're at an angle where you only see it and one other eye
I showed my family your answer Polu
my sister was amused
2 is the cloest to my answer so I'm voting for that but for the record doesn't accurately refelct my opinions
now that I think about it, the real answer is "any emphasized closing of an eye or eyes"
"I think we are all still picturing sexy spiders" - my mom, during the walk home
I am glad the poll is so split. Now that I am home, I agree that 3 of the answers do not make much sense, but I wanted to include edge cases in case someone happened to agree with them
If I could redo the poll, I would have included "all eyes on one half of the face" as an option
Yeah I think considering symmetry or not changes the answer
I like how every tme I look back, 2 new votes are added, perfectly split
its really funny

I can hear the small ones running from the snow
System message

I found a crazy stat in Discord
my account has logged into Discord (across Desktop, mobile, and web) a total of 47 times
I've migrated desktops twice, phones twice, and laptop once in that time, so at minimum that's where 5 came from
so I've restarted my devices ~42 total times in (almost) 10 years
You know, mine is probably not that dissimilar
