- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoNo, a "purity test" can be on any topic really and has been going on at least since I remember in the late 80s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity_test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purity_test
- ladberg 4y agoThe website is a direct parody of http://ricepuritytest.com http://ricepuritytest.com (Warning: NSFW text)
- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoThere have been many "purity tests" before and after that one in the exact same format, that one is just perhaps the most well known so the author copied the format.
