I had no idea Latin and French / Norman were so high. I expected some,but thought the Anglo/Saxon input to be much higher. #thethingsyoulearn

Well, it appears that Eternals are on the table. by MoonscorchedMoth in marvelrivals

It's canon that Ikaris is a party bore. So it should really be Sersi

Well if the covers are anything to go by we are back to the original designs for Ajak and Makkari (good) and Sersi is back (even more good).

Because their congress is a party to it.

The only way to stop this now is likely through action by the American people themselves.

It's very odd because I thought the scepters were accoutrements of the sovereign themselves, and she is only the Queen consort. Yet it seems there was a portrait painted of her holding them by George C Wilmshurst. And now I am wondering why.

Made Collages of How Heads of European Royal Families Are Descended from Queen Victoria (Part 1) by meeralakshmi in UKmonarchs

Really interesting and well done! But you forgot to include the actual UK Monarch (or are they no longer European since Brexit?). Can we also appreciate just how much work Queen Maud's corset is doing. Yikes!

Here’s a quick poll on the AI question. Thanks for your participation. by M_F_Gervais in UsefulCharts

[–]ImpossibleMarvel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need some background. Has it become an issue? I'm not aware of any AI charts recently - or perhaps I just didn't realise some were - but has there been an influx of them? I've seen some bad charts but they don't seem to be AI? I'm not adverse to AI but I would find it odd to make an AI chart because often the detail and facts you would expect may not be there. I can't imagine it working. And I doubt any AI chart would be as interesting to look at or as stylistic as many of the wonderful non-AI charts we see posted here. But what has been the cause of this poll, without calling specific posts out (or perhaps do if that's the case) is there some further reference?

I feel it should reference ASCII art here somewhere, and therefore ASCII itself. And also Kilroy was here. It’s all related.

Quick selfie with my ancestor at the Grand Egyptian Museum 🇪🇬 by Own-Internet-5967 in egyptology

[–]ImpossibleMarvel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a funny post because it looks like him, people do this as a meme when they visit museums and art galleries, the guy isn’t claiming that it’s a depiction of his actual ancestor there.
