Miss Universe has always been won by someone from Earth. Coincidence?
I did some digging and the jury is also always from that planet and also quite racist. It's not only always someone from earth but also from the human race.
That's why analyzing power structures is so crucial. I don't believe that they actively exclude non earthers or non humans, but the jury is more likely to choose their own kind and the people putting together the jury are as well.
Iirc there is a strategy in the US in one team sport for management to have a quota, not in outcome but the shortlist has to contain one non human (or non white, I'm not sure) and that alone raised the outcome because it made people seen that were invisible for the committee before.
you made me want to look it up. apparently the official story is that non humans simply don't apply as much to even qualify. but of course this is likely a classic case of societal expectations and the way we raise our young.
most wolves for example don't even know they could apply for miss universe, but that creates a catch-22 type situation where this is informed by lack of representation, which makes wolved think they're not even considered for miss universe, but in that belief they refrain from applying and there's a vicious cycle that effectively excludes wolves from miss universe.
Neptune hasn't won a single medal since Phelps retired
Still shocked they kicked out Pluto over a doping scandal.
curious the planet with the most medals is the same planet the olympic committee is headquartered in
Why is mercury ranked second despite having the same number of medals (zero) as the unranked ones? Who did Mercury pay off for this "mistake" to happen? Is big Mercury subtly trying to influence our perception of them?
Those "unranked" ones are actually tied for second place.
Mercury didn't win a medal but was given an honorary one for winning the freestyle orbital revolution in a record 88 days.
I was thinking the OC could've (should've) started some shit by putting them in order by distance from the sun as they are now, except for putting Saturn before Mercury. And then enjoy the hand wringing.
It's just based on their proximity to the sun
Yea they should be sorted alphabetically
This is so insensitive. None of those planets sent any representatives for at least the last 12 years and you aren’t even acknowledging why.
From what my history teacher tought me, the ancient Olympic games might have been inspired by people from other planets than earth, but I think outside the solar system
Out of the hundreds of judges, over 97% were born on Earth.
All 97%, and all of the remaining 3%, have lived on or in the orbit of Earth for the past three consecutive years. Their financial records indicate that their income is primarily from terrestrial sources.
I'm sad that Pluto got kicked out of the planetary Olympics...
Justice for Ceres!
Pluto is a dwarf plant. They take part in the planetary paralympic games.
you'll never qualify if you're gonna take that route.
You gotta play by the rules. If you're too excentric, you'll get kicked out. He had it coming.
Welcome to the space Olympics
And as usual, Belters aren't even listed 😤
Beltalowda best at rock tossing! Not Olympic discipline, sasa que. Damn inyalowda.
How can there be differing numbers of medals?
Sometimes there's a tie for a position which cannot be resolved by the current rules or won't be played out at all.
In athletics, for example in pole vault, you have several tries to reach a certain height, if two athletes are tied at the same height the amount if failed tries is compared, but this still leads to shared places quite often. In the sports where you're scoring points you might get a tie by having the same highest score, which is usually resolved by comparing the second or third best score, but even that might not always be sufficient. In some of the tournament sports there are no games for third place, so the losers of the semi finals share third.
Shared gold means no silver medal. (2 gold, 0 silver, 1 bronze)
Shared silver means no bronze medal. (1 gold, 2 silver, 0 bronze)
Shared bronze means shared bronze. Also some disciplines give out 2 bronze medals by default, which is the reason for the high number of bronze medals. (1 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze)
I'm disappointed with Uranus!
I've heard that before
That what he said?
It's not, other planets aren't wasting a cent and increasing their pollution for this farce and corrupted event. You win the olympics by not participating.
Upvote for a quality zoo exhibit
Strangley reminiscent of American Football. Americans invent a sport that no one else likes to play. They hold a tournament and proclaim the winner of said tournament "World Champion".
are the other planets even trying?
When Jupiter or Saturn finally wins some competitions are they going to get their medals in the form of precious metals aersolized into a vapor and stuffed into a mason jar?
Were there so many shared 3rd places?
Sports like boxing come to mind where 3rd place isn't fought for, it's just bronze for both losers of the semifinals.
Ah okay makes sense
How are there more bronze medals than silver, and more gold medals than silver?
Nobody wants to be second. The olympics are very competitive.
I have laughed so hard 🤣
Ties if the sport allows it. And if 2 people tie for gold, then nobody gets silver.
For now...
It was bothering me that the bronze medal was different... (It still does for the purpose of this chart)
Anyway, that's the just the other side. More interestingly, the gray hunk of metal is actually from the Eiffel Tower.
What about Omicron Persei 8? Surely they got some medal in the human eating contest?
Disqualified, Lrrr tested positive for human horn (upper and lower)
God damn it Lrrr. You just had to keep off it for two weeks, TWO WEEKS!
why is mercure second and all other planets not on the podium ?
They haven't finished yet, and third place is still TBD
Corruption
Suck it you Venusian losers!
Earth! Earth! Earth!
Belters, belters, belters.
see it’s funny because global can either mean “of the globe” or “of globes”
