Muhammad and Tambora are interesting. Krakatoa may be the LOUDEST eruption ever recorded but not the LARGEST

Level 66
Feb 19, 2025
The Muhammad one is because it's an extremely popular name amongst Muslim parents (to the point a lot of Muslims end up going by their middle name to avoid confusion). So even though Muslims are a minority in the UK when so many are picking the same name it's enough to get the name to the top.

Yeah sure, we could spend days rationalizing, and scientifically analyzing the phenomenon, but the truth is way simpler. There are too much of them in the West. In fact, even one is more than enough. It's a white Christian civilization. And once it ceases to be white and Christian, it will cease to be Western and civilized. Being in denial about it won't change reality. Every people deserves a home. It's our home, and they should go home.

Level 51

The Western civilization, however you define it, is not a product of Christianity, rather a result of various historical phenomena. In fact, if we had always stuck with the Christian vision of the world, we might as well still think the Sun revolves around the Earth. And as for the "whiteness" of our civilization, it's not even worth elaborating.
+1
Level 66
Feb 19, 2025
Well I’m not a historian so I might say BS, but saying that Western Civilisation is not a product of Christianity sounds weird. So many towns and cities are organised around a church, so many wars were linked to religion, so many explorations/colonisations were done for Christianisation, so many names are related to the Saints, so many references come from the Bible, so many countries with Christian roots tend to be « democratic » (not so many for the non-Christian countries).

Even if this religion is not as influential as before, it truly had a significant importance in our history, and still has today. Just like Latine. It’s hardly spoken anymore but many languages are a product of Latine.

When you speak about historical phenomena, they are in fact often related to religion.

Christian country? I'm assuming you're American because any Brit would laugh at your claim.

The latest census showed that 6.5 million people aged 18-34 aren't religious compared to only 4 million that are Christian. You could cut immigration to zero and Christianity would still be dying out, atheism will be the dominant "religion" of the UK in a decade or so.

+13
Level 89
Feb 19, 2025
The fact this comment has any likes is gross. A considerable proportion of Britain's Muslim population is descended from the 400,000 Muslims who fought for us in WWI. The idea that they don't "belong" here is beyond insulting.. Many have been here for generations. Many others are here as a direct result of wars we brought to their home countries.

duckwantbread, once again Christianity (and Islam and so on) is not only about religion but also culture. A lot of buildings, paintings, musics… are related to Christianity. Even your hymn is « God saves the King ».

We are more like atheist coutries from Christian heritage. UK (and France in my concern) did not start to exist in 2001, nor it did not erase everything from the past.

Krakatoa isnt necessarily the loudest but its the loudest recorded. Back during Tambora there May not have been recording devices. Technology advanced A lot in 70 years.

8/10. Never heard of a ratite. It sounds like a semi precious stone. Like a cat's eye:) And I guessed Krakatoa. I feel semi OK about the fact that the 2 I got wrong, my wrong guesses were answered more than the correct answer.
+1
Level 80
Feb 19, 2025
Yep, sounds like me. Although the last one I probably answered too quickly. Had I taken the time to look at the year, I should have known it couldn't be Krakatoa (1883).

9/10, the argon one caught me out today, I figured fire extinguishers would be more likely to contain a gas 😅 Made up for it with Tambora though, which based on the stats so far is one the hardest questions we've ever had 😁

Level 44

Argon is an inert noble gas. Putting it in a bulb stops the hot tungsten from getting oxidized and burning.

Level 67
Feb 19, 2025
I thought they used nitrogen for that?
+2
Level 83
Feb 19, 2025
...which is why putting it in a fire extinguisher also seems like a rational idea and a good answer, especially since incandescent tungsten bulbs are no longer the standard. Not arguing, just reasoning through the choice Frankii and I both made, erroneously.

Level 89
Feb 19, 2025
That's interesting! It does make a certain kind of sense, although it's been a while since I had a bulb that wasn't LED haha

10/10 for a second day in a row. Good that I brushed up on Tambora after a bicycle question last week; that eruption gave us bikes, Frankenstein, Mormonism, Waterloo, and thousands of deaths.

Bruh the stats for the Tambora question are obscene. If only 14% of people are getting it right it shouldn't be a question.

I only know of Tambora because I started researching about stratovolcanoes due to these quizzes commonly featuring them 😂

I read the word 'tipping and all I could think of was cow-tipping. Fortunately, I thought Japanese people would never tip a cow.

Before people freak out about the Muhammads, that name is probably given to about 1% of boys. It's just common in many Muslim families to name their first son Muhammad.

Non-Muslims simply choose a wider variety of names.

Wow, my first 4/10, my lowest score ever. :-(

Thought that "Muhammad" was just a trap and wasn't aware that "Avatar 2" did well at the box office, especially not that well. Mixed Degas with Braque and the rest I simply didn't have any clue.

The first question threw me off...

I thought it was referring to "tipping" as in throwing rubbish away in a public place. I thought surely Canadians don't do that, but surely less so the Japanese, so luckily guessed Japan and only then realised it referred to tipping in a restaurant. Never really recovered though and got one of my lowest scores of all time :(
