[GalFisk] Reality has a well-known liberal bias

[GalFisk]

A display at my local store is very biased. But it's probably out of laziness rather than intent.

[Doriana]

store = grocery store? clothing store? book store? hardware store? other?
Bias towards a certain gender? religion? political attitude? other?

[Mimino]

display = written text? pictogram? picture? photograph? goods being displayed?
In the shop? in the shop window? outside the shop? printed ads? tv or radio commercials? ad banners on youtube?

[Sundowner]

Did they place goods in a shelf where they do not actually belong? (or look strange, at least)

[GalFisk]

store = grocery store? This, but... clothing store? book store? hardware store? This could work as well
other?
Bias towards a certain gender? religion? political attitude? Not inherently, though it sometimes is. other? This.


display = written text? pictogram? picture? photograph? goods being displayed? This.
In the shop? This. in the shop window? outside the shop? printed ads? tv or radio commercials? ad banners on youtube?

Did they place goods in a shelf where they do not actually belong? (or look strange, at least) No.

[Mimino]

Is it one specific type of goods?
Could the goods on display be classified as food? drink? clothing? household appliances? hardware? electrical devices? soap/detergents? books? journals/newspapers?
Something people normally have in their houses?
Is something else relevant besides the fact that these products are on display in this store? Labelling? price labels? advertising?

[Doriana]

Are the displayed goods COVID-related? If so, face masks? hand sanitizer? disinfectant?
Are they winter-related? If so, snow shovels? de-icing salt? antifreeze? ice scrapers? birdseed?

Something people normally have in their houses? Yes.
Is something else relevant besides the fact that these products are on display in this store? No. Labelling? price labels? No to both. advertising? Yope.

Are the displayed goods COVID-related? If so, face masks? hand sanitizer? disinfectant? No to all.
Are they winter-related? If so, snow shovels? de-icing salt? antifreeze? ice scrapers? birdseed? No to all.

[Sundowner]

Is this electrical device mainly used for: cooking? cleaning? personal hygiene? entertainment? comfort?

[GalFisk]

Is this electrical device mainly used for: cooking? cleaning? personal hygiene? entertainment? No to all. comfort? Arguably, DOYD.

[Doriana]

Does the electrical device relevantly emit heat? light? sound?
Does it use batteries? a power cable?

[Mimino]

Is it a spare part or replaceable part of a device? (like an LED lamp?)

[GalFisk]

Does the electrical device relevantly emit heat? Some. light? Yes. sound? No.
Does it use batteries? a power cable? This.

Is it a spare part or replaceable part of a device? Yes. (like an LED lamp?) Some are indeed LED lamps.

[Mimino]

Light bulbs? Electric light in general? Different types of light bulbs together in one place? Energy labels on them relevant?

[GalFisk]

Light bulbs? Yes. Electric light in general? No. Different types of light bulbs together in one place? Yes. Energy labels on them relevant? No.

[Mimino]

Is light bulbs the only relevant item?
Is relevant that different types of light bulbs are mixed up? different brands? light bulbs of different shape? different voltage? different socket type?
The liberal bias: about age? nationality? language? ethnicity? sexuality?

[GalFisk]

Is light bulbs the only relevant item? Yes.
Is relevant that different types of light bulbs are mixed up? Yes. different brands? light bulbs of different shape? different voltage? different socket type? No/irr to all.
The liberal bias: about age? nationality? language? ethnicity? sexuality? No to all. It's not actually political in nature, though if it is politicized, it tends to be liberal-leaning parties that support the type of bias in question.

[Doriana]

Energy-saving bulbs vs regular bulbs relevant?

[GalFisk]

Energy-saving bulbs vs regular bulbs relevant? Yes.

[irishelk]

Does the display imply that energy-saving bulbs are better? Are they labeled in a different way? Or relevantly in the same way? Maybe all bulbs are the same price in this store, whereas energy-saving bulbs are usually more expensive, thus encouraging "greener" buying?

Is the possible laziness related to how the display is shaped? Something written on it? How the bulbs are organized?

[GalFisk]

Is the possible laziness related to how the display is shaped? Something written on it? How the bulbs are organized? Thisish. Explore.

[Mimino]

Are both sorts of bulbs mixed up in the same box?
Energy saving bulbs placed higher in the shelf? lower? in a more prominent place? in a less prominent place?
Freedom of choice relevant?

[GalFisk]

Are both sorts of bulbs mixed up in the same box? No, but OTRT.
Energy saving bulbs placed higher in the shelf? lower? in a more prominent place? in a less prominent place? No to all.
Freedom of choice relevant? No.

[Mimino]

Are the bulbs displayed in the same box or shelf, but sorted?
Energy-saving bulbs in the left part? right part? center?
Do the energy-saving bulbs come in smaller packages? larger packages? unpackaged?

[GalFisk]

Are the bulbs displayed in the same box or shelf, but sorted? Sorting is irrelevant. They're displayed in the same relevant place, though not a box or shelf.
Energy-saving bulbs in the left part? right part? center? Irrelevant.
Do the energy-saving bulbs come in smaller packages? larger packages? unpackaged? Assume all are alike.

[Mimino]

Are they in a free standing display? in a cardboard stand? in a basket?
Are they all labelled the same, like "lightbulbs"?

[GalFisk]

Are they in a free standing display? in a cardboard stand? in a basket? I'd not call it either. One aspect of the display is relevant.
Are they all labelled the same, like "lightbulbs"? The bulbs in question are unlabeled, because...

[klondike mary]

Is either sort of bulb turned on? both?

[GalFisk]

Is either sort of bulb turned on? Yes. both? Yope, explore.

[Sundowner]

Can customers turn on and off the light bulbs? to test them?
Is there always only one light bulb turned on? are they blinking?
Is there anything else relevant besides the turned on or off light bulbs?
Is there a watt meter showing the power consumed by the different types of light bulbs?

[GalFisk]

Can customers turn on and off the light bulbs? to test them? No.
Is there always only one light bulb turned on? More. are they blinking? No.
Is there anything else relevant besides the turned on or off light bulbs? No, potential FA.
Is there a watt meter showing the power consumed by the different types of light bulbs? No.

[Sundowner]

Is there one of each kind of light bulbs switched on? so that customers can see how they look like when lit?

[GalFisk]

Is there one of each kind of light bulbs switched on? No. so that customers can see how they look like when lit? That's the original intention, but...

[Sundowner]

There is not one of each kind switched on? only a few of the available bulbs? only energy saving bulbs? only traditional bulbs? only one type? only one light bulb?

[GalFisk]

There is not one of each kind switched on? Correct. only a few of the available bulbs? DOYD - the intent of the display is to show off each variant of incandescent and LED bulb available. Then lots of bulbs are in cartons in shelves, for purchase. only energy saving bulbs? Yesish. Explore.only traditional bulbs? Noish, explore. only one type? Yesish, see above. only one light bulb? No.
Edit: answers DOYD of "switched on".

[Mimino]

Are only energy saving bulbs lit? and these permanently? even when the shop is closed? thus, not saving but wasting energy?
Are there enough sockets to display all types of available bulbs? Are all sockets used? Are there incandescent bulbs in the sockets? but these not lit?
Did they not switch on the incandescent light bulbs in order to save energy?

[GalFisk]

Are only energy saving bulbs lit? Correct. and these permanently? See next. even when the shop is closed? Unknown. thus, not saving but wasting energy? Irr.
Are there enough sockets to display all types of available bulbs? Yes. Are all sockets used? Yes. Are there incandescent bulbs in the sockets? Yes. but these not lit? Correct. why?
Did they not switch on the incandescent light bulbs in order to save energy? No, they did switch them on, but...

[Mimino]

Were the incandescent light bulbs broken? or the sockets? or were they not properly inserted into the sockets? Was it intended that they are not lit?
Does the setting imply that incandescent bulbs break faster? need to be replaced more often?

You got it.
SPOILER: my local grocery store has a display showing off the light bulbs they sell. The LED bulbs shine nicely, but the halogen ones are all broken, so what the display really shows is the short lifespan of incandescent bulbs. I'm guessing that they don't want to keep swapping them out all the time - if they run for their rated life of 1000 hours, a new one is needed about every 1.5-2 months, depending on whether they stay on when they store is closed.
Thanks for playing!

[Sundowner]

Nice.
