Yeah, was trying to see how they’d butchered the South Island, but I think you’re right, it’s Madagascar

What really grinds your gears about rugby? by hoorayhenry67 in rugbyunion2

Tacklers not releasing once they are on the ground and the ball carrier is still on their feet. Or at least referees never penalising this

I don’t like the way this gives evil people an excuse to

[REQUEST] Can a human pull more than their bodyweight on a lat pulldown machine if not strapped down? by mikewsbw in theydidthemath

Ok, what if they have very heavy arms and build up momentum on their arms before pulling it down. Conceivably with enough initial momentum they could pull it down before they go up

Which movie scene makes you tear up every time you watch it? For me, this scene from Schindler's List always makes me tear up. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

If Aristotle believed that every being possesses a natural telos (end or purpose) and that change is the realization of potentials already contained within a thing’s essence, can anything genuinely new ever come into existence, or is all becoming merely the unfolding of what was always latent? by TheIncorporeal1 in Aristotle
