    • You have to be upfront in life about what you want in death, or you may be disappointed. A SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2022 says the song most played at funerals was ‘Abide with me’. But when they asked people what song they would most like played at their funeral the answer quite telling… ‘Always Look on the Bright Side of Life’. And there’s plenty of other data floating about indicating the dead are getting a duff deal such as 42% of people didn’t even know the funeral basics of whether their loved one wanted to be cremated or buried. So we want you to share your thoughts on what is to happen when you die. Sorry to be so direct but it is your funeral!Devices you can use to take this study:

    It's sat around all afternoon trying to find 27 people. I can't seem to find away to dismiss it as not interested as on my studies page it isn't listed as available to me  as my preferences are non use of camera/microphone, so it's still sitting there on my Alert, which is somewhat annoying.

    My OH had it.  It was about 'your send off' and how people feel about funeral services.  Fairly innocuous and not anything taxing.  A quick survey really.

    Forecasting the Future of Our Planet: Your Predictions Needed (Part 2)

    By Zach Jacobs

    Based on your performance in a recent forecasting survey, we would like to invite you to another (shorter) forecasting survey.

    This survey is about predicting future risks to humanity, such as climate change, nuclear war, artificial intelligence, and bioweapons. We want to know what you think the likelihood of these risks occurring in the next 100 years is. Your opinions can help us understand and prepare for these potential threats, and will help us better understand the public's perception of these events and how they compare to expert opinions.

    We expect the survey, which consists of 6 complex forecasting questions, each with multiple parts. We expect the survey to take roughly 1 hour to complete.


    I did not realise there was going to be a second part!

    Similar to part one but took me around 35 mins to complete and payment was instant at the end so I am not complaining.

    Fair bit of typing involved to justify each prediction (300 words minimum) but I somehow managed to think of something for each one.

    Not sure lying is helpful as these studies are used for research and not just like the silly surveys you get with other companies. Hence why they pay so well.

    Multi-game experiment

    Dear participant,

    This study includes 5 games from which you can earn bonuses, and some survey questions. After that, there's a comment box for you to leave any comments you have about the study, including whether you understood how to play the games, or anything else you want to mention.

    Overall, it should take less than 1 hour to finish the study and you'll get £6 plus a bonus based on your performance in each game.


    Blimey, this one was extremely hard work. The software kept freezing under the weight of people trying to access it. I persevered and got a bonus, but it took me over 90 minutes. I only persisted as I decided to miss an exercise class to complete it, and having missed the start of the class was determined to get paid. I think the researcher has pulled it for now. I have been paid along with the bonus
