Instead of sorting by gold medals and then silver then bronze, they should just give 3 points for gold, 2 for silver and 1 for bronze and compare the total

Wait, what's the relative value of gold to silver and bronze on the metals market? We should do it like that.

Wait, what's the relative value of gold to silver and bronze

Gold is about 80:1 against silver. Bronze is probably 0.1 in that scale.

why did they split Charles into separate flags? Too confusing

I'd delete and repost there but that would feel like giving in

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Then don’t delete this post. Ride the wave of silliness and confusion

King Charles is missing some flags and some medals. Where's St Lucia?

Well that's not quite fair, the brits have been colonial assholes for FAR longer than us Americans have had a chance to. Plus, neocolonialism is harder and more nuanced than just running roughshod over the natives.

Per billion capita it's:

Xi Jinping: 11
Joe Biden: 27
King Charles: 120
