We need to talk about teletortoise teleturtle.
Because, really, half of the experiment was about you. The public. Not him, the turtle.
(and he was a turtle, not a tortoise)
Yellow-Belly and I wanted to see what you would do if we told you that his life was in your hands.
Would the internet drown a helpless tortoise?
The results are mostly positive.
Mostly.
Users turned the water on the least out of all three options
Water 20.3%
Food 26.9%
Light 37.9%
And 31% of users didn't use the water at all
Just 17% turned the water on the most (on more occassions than light or food)
And most water-togglers did so after 30 minutes: when Yellow-Belly was already swimming
However, 38% chose water as their 1st action
(16% more than food)
while 9% of users had the water on for half of their time...
...And 4.5% had it on all the time
(but that was only 2 people)
In total, 106 litres were doused over the turtle
Enough water to drown the tortoise 10 times over
It's uncomfortable running out of room
Isn't it?
