big fan of unintuitive development indices. e.g. this is the top 10 of something, try to guess what it is: 🇸🇨🇳🇷🇲🇩🇲🇳🇧🇧🇩🇴🇱🇹🇶🇦🇦🇲🇪🇪 (it's not obscure or trivia, this is a real index that has real-world consequences) will add hints if nobody gets it

once again, the categories of "straight" and "gay/lesbian" are practically useless in everyday discourse. all they tell you is who someone *won't* sleep with, and 9 times out of 10, the more important information is who someone *will*
