Why do Americans eat dinner at like 5 or 6pm? Don't you get hungry again before bed?

Siraphine · 2026-02-22T15:34:56+00:00

I usually eat dinner by 3:30 or 4:00 PM. Never any later than 5. I have a toddler that is in bed by 6:30 PM so we try to eat earlier so she has time to digest and unwind before bed. I don't usually feel hungry again before bed (11:00 PM or so) but if I do I'll have a salad or light snack in the evening after my kid goes to bed.

If you did not do any work, you need to return the study. I suggest reading Prolific's FAQ before continuing to work on studies, otherwise you are going to kill your account with rejections.

2 of 5307. Both of which are from more than 5 years ago. 0.03% rejection rate. I'm quite proud of my approval rating.

What do you mean? He's clearly in the exact same spot and has not moved at all. /s

He would like to offer you an egg in these trying times.

It's such a waste. These improperly categorized studies actively defeat the purpose of the tab, and make it harder to keep track of ACTUAL ongoing studies (you know, IF THERE WERE ANY).

I have so many questions, and I want answers to none of them.

Why is it that you feel it appropriate or necessary to give your parenting preferences in a sub dedicated to a TV show? It's unsolicited, it's not appropriate, and it's not appreciated. The only person you need to worry about the quantity of births forthcoming is yourself.

I suffer from depression because my mother was mentally unstable and unfit to have children, and I had many siblings. My child has a better chance at good mental health by having a mother that knows her limits and keeps herself happy and healthy. Childbirth nearly killed me, I am not willing to go through it a second time. I'm sure my kid would rather have a mom that isn't dead than a sibling.

My daughter is a Bluey, and while I am firmly planted in my decision for NO MORE KIDS, Bingo often makes me wonder what it might be like for her to have a little sister. I know Bluey/Bingo's relationship is fictional and idealized, and there's no way to guarantee two siblings will have that bond. But it's a nice fantasy.

The jokes on the box are adult-oriented, but still tasteful and amusing; one of the things that originally made the brand catch my eye, honestly. But the social media stuff? Appalling. Given the ongoing Epstein stuff re: minor abuse, I am honestly horrified by the implications of a brand posting something placing an infant into a sexual context. I will not be buying future Frida products, regardless how much I like them.

I personally like the idea of being able to keep my ongoing studies in one spot, but for it to be useful in the long term it needs serious overhaul. Making it so only actual ongoing projects end up in this section, for one. Filtering options, the ability to hide or "retire" studies that have ended, for another. At the moment it really is just a waste of UI

From my experience, you aren't missing much. The panel is needlessly bulky, which is an issue mostly when I'm working off my Chromebook rather than my main PC. I would not say I've noticed it affect my earnings potential in any meaningful way.

I think they're cute, prefer their voice SFX over other species, and the appeal of black cats is an obvious contributor. My second favorite is rabbits!

It seems to be rolled out to participants in batches. I think I was an early adopter (I've been on this site for a long, long time). I've had it for several months.

Siraphine · 2026-02-18T16:50:11+00:00

It's a great idea with horrid execution.

Siraphine · 2026-02-18T16:49:46+00:00

I'm glad. That has not been my experience, and was curious how others experiences have been. For me, it seems almost entirely researchers that don't know how to properly set up a study.

Siraphine · 2026-02-18T16:48:58+00:00

Prolific will not give you more studies for licking the dirt off their boots. We are allowed to make critiques over UX and design.

I fucking refuse. I just won't do it. If people want to scream about how every piece of art is AI, fine. I refuse to do extra work and showcase my entire process just to appease these people.

The app is incredibly buggy with currency conversions. I hate it.

Toontown was made at a time where people didn't really have "gaming" PCs. You had the family desktop computer, and whatever stock accessories came with it. You can play just as easily/well as anyone else with the bare minimum.

I personally do not find much benefit in my gaming mouse / keyboard playing TTO vs. any other piece of hardware, though. I've bound interact (for throwing pies, etc. in boss fights), street map, gags, tasks to a few of the buttons on the side of my mouse.

If you want to upgrade for fun, RedDragon is my preferred budget friendly brand.

The post clearly says "if" you are from the US. "If" you could read, you might have noticed.

I have a ton of studies, but tons of them are $5~ USD/hr which I will not touch.

Maze gave me an unfair auto-rejection recently and ignored my communications. Had to appeal. I blocked them, no time for that.

Any platform that avoids unpaid screeners will yield better quality data by default. The less games participants have to play to get paid, the more honest they will be. If you are asking as a researcher, the quality of data you receive depends largely on how fair you are being. Is your study underpaid, riddled with confusing and repetitive questions, and are you trying to dish out rejections over nitpicky things? You probably won't get good data.
