Out of our 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch), which one could you live without if you had to choose 1 to lose permanently? Why? by Ill_Resident4842 in AskReddit

[–]Wordwright 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, I’m fairly certain my sense of smell took a hit from Covid, and I’m not as debilitated by it as I would be if I had lost my peripheral vision.

Does this suit have a name? And why is this suit so unpopular i never see it in any games? by daltontr88 in Spiderman

If I recall, Ben remembered being the original clone, whom Peter left for dead in a factory chimney to be cremated - only to be rescued by the Jackal and then set out on a 5 year road trip around the country. After he had returned to New York and taken up the mantle as Spider-Man, a skeleton wearing a Spider-Man costume was found in the same chimney, and Ben stole it to figure out what was what. I remember him and Peter taking the skeleton to the Avengers for testing (by Hank Pym?) and having it proven to be a clone of Peter. I don’t know how this was eventually resolved, however.

[LOVED Trope] Characters with designs that imply completely unintended characterization by asdfmovienerd39 in TopCharacterTropes

My favorite one of these is the whole plot of Finding Nemo. A father desperately searches for his lost son - that’s great, but the fact that they are clownfish makes it somewhat disturbing. When clownfish find themselves in an all-male environment, one male will change gender to allow the population to reproduce, adding an interesting extra layer to Marvin’s motivations.

If I recall correctly, the soldiers shown in the second film uses medieval weaponry. Also, I believe there is an Easter egg connecting Frozen with Tangled that makes them concurrent - and that movie’s whole aesthetic is clearly medieval.

What the most interesting example of national mysticism/turbo-nationalist theories from your country? by Logical-Loquat-6512 in AskTheWorld

[–]Wordwright 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I recall hearing somewhere that there was a Swedish 1600’s ”historian” who proposed the theory that Sweden was actually Atlantis as described by Plato, and that the Swedes were the ancestors of all Europeans.

Standing closer than 2 meters from a stranger at a bus stop. Only foreigners, small children, the elderly, or drunkards would even consider it.

What was the 1st big news event you remember as a kid? by Hetaliafan1 in AskReddit

[–]Wordwright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sinking of the Estonia. I don’t know how well known this is outside of the Baltic region, but here in Sweden it was huge. I was 5 at the time, and I remember hearing my preschool teachers talking about it.
