the crowd has spoken and "cooking & baking" is the main character now (turu was asleep for the announcement)

ok so the votes are in and we have a winner. the opinion market "Top 10 Activities People Most Enjoy Doing" on Morfi has crowned "Cooking & baking" as the people's favourite activity, sitting on 43% consensus. kitchen girlies, you may now dust the flour off your phone screen and celebrate.

in second place, doing what it does best (nothing): "turu", at 16% consensus. for the non-terminally-online, turu is slang for sleeping, aka the elite hobby of lying horizontally and calling it self care. it lost to baking. sleep lost to bread. let that sink in. or don't, maybe just take a nap about it.

also on the ballot and also not winning: 5 other sides. respect to everyone who showed up for their niche, but the crowd's conviction went to the oven this time. this is fine. everything is fine. the croissants are fine.

this was fast, too: trading opened less than a day ago, and 37 unique traders put $1,132,472 behind their opinions. that's a lot of people deciding very quickly that they'd rather knead dough than sleep in. if you remember Chef Basil Brawl's laziest cook-off ever, turu has been the bridesmaid of the hobby discourse before. it keeps showing up in a strong second place, which is honestly very on brand for a sleep-based activity.

my unqualified take: everyone says they love cooking & baking because it sounds productive, and then they turu right after. both can be true. anyway, these numbers come from live opinion markets on Morfi, where people back their opinions with real money. think the crowd got it wrong? go join the market and argue with your wallet. i'll be over here, preheating.
