Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Then it would be half full of liquid and half full of vacuum... presumably with the occasional spherical cow if I remember my old physics classes correctly. They come with the territory - just appearing with rhyme or reason.
Oh, and AC - it'd be Pedant, not Pendant. Unless this is the view of bauble on a necklace?
Don't those cow ussually comes in pair, I was taught that a virtual spherical cow pop into existence only to be instantly anhilited into nothingness by a virtual anti spherical cow and that even thought the cows are virtual the effects theirs farts on various fields are quite real ?

...is "looking back at me"
Where all other options imply more information than the headline statement contains.
Further, use of the word "tend", leads to inference that the action of "seeing" the glass only has a likelihood of occurring, maybe greater than 0.5, who knows for sure, maybe not exactly 0.0 or 1.0 probability either, at least less likely those extremes in the "tend to" domain.
Only other supposition is the glass may not be there at all, at least as much chance of supposing knowledge of it's contents.

This poll has no option for blind people, or the differently sighted. You are hereby found guilty of racism, and sentenced to being dressed in MAGA clothing and airdropped into the middle of an Antifa "march". May God have mercy on your soul, and on whatever little bits of quivering flesh are left of you.

the glass is a galaxy of bits in some sort of computational substrate that simulates every possible timeline so all levels of liquid from full to empty exist in same volume of space everywhere where the glass exists
i perceive only the timeline i'm at, a parallel me perceives a different one since every level of liquid in the glass technically exists somewhere it is somewhat pointless to think of my experience of the fluid level in the glass as having any relevance to what is going on

The glass is full. At standard sea-level pressure Earth, it is half-filled with a liquid and the other half filled with a gas.

Perhaps this glass is in a vacuum, but at a temperature where the fluid won't boil away.
