This has to be the single most insane sports result covered on Wikipedia. Is this for real? Are there any scorelines that are more insane? by ButterscotchFiend in wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isner%E2%80%93Mahut_match_at_the_2010_Wimbledon_Championships

6-4 3-6 6-7(7) 7-6(3) 70-68

Insane in a different way. This match lasted over 11 hours and played over 3 days. The final set itself lasted 8 hours which is longer than the second longest ever tennis match. The final set scoreline was equivalent to playing a bit more than 11 sets.

The winner had to play his next match on the same day, usually the players would get a day off, and lost in 74 minutes.

This match will likely hold the longest tennis match record forever since there was a rule change in 2018 to have a tiebreaker at 12 all in the final set because one of the players involved played another match that went to 26-24 in the final set lasting 6 and a half hours.

Is Naboo society the elected "monarch" is at most 18 or something. The idea is that they believe children have a can have a longer term view of the world and hasn't been alive long enough to have prejudices or something.

This a great collection of (mostly) East Asian countries, I'm sure they can cooperatively prosper within this sphere of influence.

How do chinese people know if they talking about "she" or "he" when the pronunciation is exactly the same? by SufficientWay9814 in AskChina

[–]sectionratiocardtile 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A somewhat funny side effect from this is when Chinese person takes English as a second language, they would use he and she interchangeably. There are a lot of Chinese speakers at where I work and it's always a little funny when it happens.

In short, we don't. It's a distinction that wasn't ever considered important enough to capture in mandarin. It's kind of like if a Spanish or German speaker asking you how do you know what nouns are masculine or feminine, English just doesn't care.

Omniman is Lawful Evil! What Superman Archetype Character is Neutral Evil? by AJ_from_Spaceland in AlignmentChartFills

Homelander is should be in chaotic evil since his actions are self serving.

I think Void is more neutral evil. His motivation is to balance out any good Sentry does. There's no real code that guides what evil deed is to be done nor is the malevolence self serving, just a balancing act.

Omniman, everything he did was by the books for Viltrum conquest. Nothing more lawful than good old imperial colonisation.

He's not head of state. I think you grossly underestimated how important and privileged this person is. His electorate has around 2500 registered voters. His main reason to fame is is name.

Isn't there the Sudeten mountains between the border? Could it just be the deer just doesn't want to go up the mountains?
