A few postcrossers might remember that a long time ago, Flickr had a series of interviews with photographers, in which they always asked the same five questions. One of them was this one:
"When we interview peeps for employment here at Team Flickr, we always ask: “Kittens, babies, sunsets or flowers? Pick one.”
We thought this was a good topic to break the seriousness of last month’s poll and try something different. So… kittens, babies, sunsets or flowers?
Turns out, it’s sunsets all the way with the Postcrossing crowd! Almost half of us prefer sunsets to any of the other options, followed by kittens, then flowers … and babies always seem to come last! Why is that, i wonder? 🤔
The results are very consistent from country to country too, with South Korea and Lithuania going a bit against the trend and preferring kittens to sunsets.
So what do you think? What motivated your pick, and how do you interpret these results?
PS: We’re always looking for new poll ideas! If you think of something cool to ask postcrossers (and that would fit in a poll), let us know in the comments.

I can't remember whether I voted sunsets or flowers. I'm not so keen on sunsets per se, but I love beautiful landscapes, and these are part of most sunset cards.
Did you notice, that the Indians prefer babies to kittens? I wonder why that is so? Are cats not usual as pets in India?
In the face of such an explosion of cuteness (Kittens, Babies, Flowers, Sunsets) I would have appreciated a "none of it" option.
An interesting question for a poll might be: Where do you buy your postcards? In a local store, online, ...
Or: How fair do you think stamp prices in your country are?
Both are valid, as of this year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_the_Czech_Republic
Happy New Year to all of you around this fantastic world. Have a great 2018!!!
Kittens are not my thing.And Babies: ugh!
Kittens and cats? They're almost "gods of Internet" but got me tired. exception is made for two of my favorite breeds or image of wild cats, but no more. Oh, idea: mrs Figg's cats welcome too)))
Babies? One time my mum said me non-popular but honest opinion "I adore my children, my family, but I don't like others people's children". Also, recipient can be a kind of "beware human": a radical childfree, can't have a children or loose a child... Too painful. It is a reason not to send this kind of cards, isn't it?
Flowers and sunsets? Honestly they are leaders of my "dunno what to sent and I'll send THIS" category. That's funny but they send out the first and I always buy a pair in every card shopping (don't be confused with the views of the city, there are other reasons for them).
About receiving that cards: I love very beautiful or very unusual sunsets, I love lotus flower, I love things which can be admired... But in general receiving flower and sunset cards are like a lottery: or yes or not.
In any case, this is just my personal opinion
Of course there is the possibility to choose "none of the above": just don't vote ;)
* Boarding School
Or
* Day School.
A poll can also be done on these following.
*Same sex school
*Single sex School.
For the poll I thought we could ask for favourite/prominent season of the year or maybe favourite hobby (singing/listening to music, dancing,reading,sports)
Example
-Scenery
-animals
-paintings
-movies ??
Obviously you are a human being - all the others are vampires ☺
I chose sunset, as I find them beautiful and romantic. When alone, they are also a good backdrop for reflecting on ones thoughts.
My suggestion for a poll would be if people prefer a crowd/party, a small gathering of just a few friends/family members, or to be alone.
O______O Does this mean...tthis is actually a secret website for vampires that are pretending to be humans...eeek!! *runs away*
