How about qualitative and quantitative Olympics?
All the higher, faster, farther sports on one side. All the sports that include style judges on the other.
The sports vs popularity contest Olympics?
Yes, please!
So much for the triathlon lol
No now it just takes 3 Olympics
Wet Olympics.
It’s only 1/3 wet though
Yeah that one's tough, are we including any sports where the athletes get wet in the wet Olympics? Throwing steeple chase to the wet Olympics feels wrong.
Steeple chase wet.
Is ice wet or dry?
Usually dry but I think it actually melts under the pressure of a blade, so events with skates might have to go in the ~~dry~~ wet Olympics.
Afaik they just discovered that Ice has a layer of water ("pre-melted ice) at the surface, which is the lubricant that makes ice slippery. So, imo ice is wet ^^
The phrase “pre-melted” is making me chuckle. If it’s pre-melted, surely it’s frozen? If it’s frozen, isn’t that just ice?
I think pre-melted means melted in advance, not the state before melting.
Eh, that's what they called it in the article and I'm neither a physicist nor a material scientist. They made a definite distinction between the two forms of the materials in this and other articles related to the topic which I was too topic-uninformed to understand. So you might be right :D
Nothing personal, my lack of understanding is what made me giggle :)
Moist Olympics
I think I saw a video titled "Wet Olympics" once online.
How can you have that user name, and no link!?
Cartoon mascots: Sweaty and Chafey.
I prefer it the way it is. The hot and cold Olympics.
It's wet here, but dry somewhere.
Same for summer and winter tho, so you may have a point.
ain't sweat wet
All Olympics are Sweat Olympics
Why?
Seems less arbitrary.
I don't see how. Summer games are games that can be played outdoors during the summer season. Winter games are games that can be played outdoors during the winter season.
Why so many indoor events then? Also, the typical seasons of many of of the "Summer" Olympics events are in the winter.
Why so many indoor events then?
They're games that people CAN play outdoors during summer.
Also, the typical seasons of many of of the "Summer" Olympics events are in the winter.
I don't understand this question.
What I mean is that I consider basketball, for example, to be a winter sport since it is properly played indoors on a wooden court and therefore its season is during the cold months of the year.
I can't say i agree. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
