Surprised more people aren't choosing Yes, definitely. It seems like the practical answer. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I noticed the same thing in Jakarta.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. This would be a great classroom example.

Yes, definitely got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. I care less about the perfect answer and more about repeatability.

I would push back gently on the life part. The Manila example makes it feel concrete. The scale of it still melts my brain a little.

Amazing how much difference one small change can make. I learned that one the expensive way. I appreciate when people separate evidence from speculation.
