Background:<p>I have begun a small project whereby I am looking to (subjectively) quantify on a scale of 0 to 10 different properties of images&#x2F;situations that may be considered &quot;ironic&quot; by some. The current properties include things like &quot;twinge of irony&quot;, incongruity, unexpectedness, etc. My longer-term goal is to play with some data visualizations based on the data.<p>Some rough notes on the origin of this project are at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thoughtsonirony.blogspot.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;towards-subjective-numerical.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thoughtsonirony.blogspot.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;02&#x2F;towards-subjecti...</a><p>You can submit your own example(s) with your own values for the different properties (you don&#x27;t have to give values for all of them). The example can be an image or the description of a situation. If you want, you can submit your contact info with your example, or just do it anonymously (for now, these values are being posted into a google docs spreadsheet that will be imported later to the list for the site and used as a basis for future data visualizations).<p>Also - if there are other properties that you think should be included, please let me know.
