How To Avoid Turning Into A Troll While Working From Home

(Image Link)

Working from home seems like a dream come true when you're tired of being forced to commute and sit in the same building day in and day out, but working from home also comes with a risk of turning into a troll.

Now we're not talking about the online version here, we're talking those antisocial creatures from folklore who smell and are so socially inept they end up living under a bridge because they can't fiti in with society.

If you work from home and don't want to go full troll all you have to do is work like you would anywhere else- keep your work space clean, keep to a work schedule and keep track of all tasks and deadlines.

You'll also feel like less of a troll if you keep your pants on while working, or at least bathe on a regular basis, both of which will make things a lot less awkward when you invite your fellow trolls home workers over.

But beware- day drinking often leads to a loss of pants!

The question of whether people think the Earth is less than 10,000 years old is not simple to address, and along with other topics related to evolution, depends heavily on how you word questions. One commonly cited survey puts that at ~40%, but has a lot of baggage in the question, with those ~40% choosing, "God created humans beings in pretty much their present form at one time within the last 10000 years." The other two options involve evolution of some sort. Another survey directly asking if a person thinks the Earth is less than 10,000 years old found only ~20% agreement and ~10% unsures. If asking do they agree with the idea that continents have been moving for millions of years, only ~10% disagree with another 10% unsure.

You can ask the same things to the same people worded slightly different ways, and still get rather different results. For example, changing a question from asking did humans develop other animals to did animals and plants develop from other species can give a large difference, or explicitly including God in a question about a process will change the results compared to asking about the same thing without naming God.

People are kind of fickle when it comes to asking questions, even without all of the religious and political baggage that comes up in such surveys. A project researching how to teach basic physics once found, for basic homework questions, asking a person a question, then asking them "What answer would a smart student give?" caused some people to change their answer...
