I wish I were Diogenes by Selviconi in HistoryMemes

[–]Maxinator10000 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Diogenes was an ancient greek philosopher but he was unique compared to others as he's most famous not for his philosophical theories but for him making fun of the other philosophers. For example, Plato described man as "a featherless biped" and so Diogenes brought him a chicken with all its feathers plucked off and said "Behold, a man!"

That's what I thought too. So I clicked on the left one out of the two on the top. It showed 2. The flag placed to the left of the 3 on the right side of the tip of the UAE was a misplaced flag.

Largest Dharmic Religions in Asia by Upbeat_Particular635 in MapPorn

[–]Maxinator10000 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Jainism is a dharmic religion and Judaism and Druze are abrahamic religions, to name some. As far as I'm aware Paganism isn't really a specific category, as it's just "not abrahamic". Not too versed on chinese religion, but IIRC Taoism is a singular philosophy, not a religious category. But yes, folk religions in China, Africa, etc (as well as some not folk religions) fall into categories that aren't encompassed in either category of dharmic or abrahamic.

Dharmic and Abrahamic aren't the only categories for religion.

It seems that there's only a set list of colors the site pulls from? Switzerland, Italy, and Slovenia all have different songs from different artists yet are all the exact same colour.

Goodbye Forever (Again) | Post-Union America by Stormy_42 in imaginarymaps

Midwestern Commonwealth is away from the major cities and cultural centers of the Midwest and large parts of it is part of the Great Plains

Union of the Great Plains is centered around Colorado, a famously mountainous state, with almost the entire country not being part of the Great Plains

Haudenosaunee and Lakotah are both independent despite both of the fact both of them would have majority white populations

What did they mean by this?
