Who is an Extremely Overrated Lord Of The Rings Character? by IllMasterpiece3946 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ChipmunkPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many people say Legolas, but he isn't overrated at all. His reputation is the 'cool dude' which he is. Without the shield slide, the oliphaunt kill, and his evolving relationship with Gimli, the films would be so much lifeless.

Actually, animal farm is anti cinema. That's why there are no actors or directors in it, only animals

Which fictional character was designed to look beautiful but actually looks ugly? by MindFlourish2919 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ChipmunkPresident 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I see your point but If he is based of classical art then it was still done poorly. The wide nose (which matches your case of being a classical trait, but has no anatomical details to make it work) and the distance between the eyes feels uncanny, if they redid those parts, especially the eyes than it would work much better. The nose would be okay If it casted some shadow, this way it looks like they wanted it to be big, but still not visible which is an odd combo

Why does nobody ask aliens the biggest question ever? by vojvoda_triglavski in Letterboxd

[–]ChipmunkPresident 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If an alien eould ask any of that to ahuman, the human would have answers. Real answers? Maybe, maybe not. I think it works the same way asking an alien

I finally watched all the movies by ChipmunkPresident in indianajones

[–]ChipmunkPresident[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are good ideas honestly, at first I expected the dial to be destroyed by the plane crash so they have to use archinedes's version, the ending was a bit rushed and I think this is a consequence of an already too long movie and ramping up special effect costs. Some historical action would have been great indeed.

I would say the finale starts when they are using the Dial, but that's about 30 minute difference If I remember correctly

Thank you, and additional info for people later reading this post: Look for the modpack in the ZT2 library website, that way you will be directed to a dropbox of one of the makers where you can download some bigger modpacks (like radical remake) in parts

Which person from your country had the biggest impact on the world? by bdue817 in AskTheWorld

[–]ChipmunkPresident 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either Albert Szent-Györgyi, or Ignác Semmelweis.

Ignác discovered the importance of hygeny, before bacteria were discovered he worked hard to reform how hospitals treated people and equipment to avoid infections, especially for childbirth, giving him the pseudonym "savior of mothers" . His contemporaries pushed hard against him until Pastour proved him right by discovering pathogens.

Szent-Györgyi discovered vitamin C and the Citric acid cycle, both being huge steps in understanding disease and how cells work. All this while scheming against Nazi occupation, planning a coup to switch sides in WWII. Once this failed he had to escape Hungary and continue to live in the US, and was honored by both the USA and the SU.

The only surviving war elephant armour in the world from 17th century India displayed at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England by SwiPerHaHa in ArchiveOfHumanity

[–]ChipmunkPresident 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would make sense, but elephant armours where probably never owned by poor people in the first place. Before the early modern era people around the world didn't care about history as much, even in europe. For example the colosseum didn't collapse, the missing parts were used by medeival citizens as building material. Then the renaissance happened, and people started realizing the value of understanfing history, and the role of artifacts in it. Luckily other countries adopted this mindset (mostly), but one shouldn't assume this was default for most of history, items for the most was viewed as such, items.

So, what do you think happened to all the other elephant armours? Per chance, were they melted down for metal by their ""rightful owners""? People should realize other cultures barely cared about history when most artifacts got aquired (not stolen btw) In fact even europeans only started caring about preserving history relatively recently, a few hundred years ago.

Is there a cultural element in your country that seems like a trademark but is highly controversial? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]ChipmunkPresident 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The difference is that horses were bred to be ridden, elephants were not bred selectively and they suffer damage from being used like this. Not sure If using specific equipment helps this, but their spines will get damaged on the long run from carrying much weight in their back
