Never would have guessed that the kiwi fruit came from China. Must've gotten them a little mixed up with the New Zealand Kiwis as well.

It used to be called a Chinese gooseberry, I think. Pretty sure I saw that fact on here before.

As a Kiwi myself, I did know this fact. The reasons behind it are fairly interesting, too.

However, I didn't know what Malthus said and what the nuke test codename was, and I just plain forgot the Artful Dodger's crime. 7/10 it is

We are just really good at growing them in NZ (though they are called kiwifruit - one word - here) and of course the green variety, with its furry brown skin, bears a certain resemblance to a certain bird after which it, and we, are named.

It's because you don't know the botanical name, it's Actinidia chinensis

Yes, but it’s not called “Luigi’s Mansion”. It’s Luigi themed, but that’s not its name

@LordHydro whilst there have been other haunted mansion tracks in the series, the DS track is definitely called Luigi's Mansion.

The question does specifically ask for the video game "Mario Kart" though, and only the SNES game has that name.

The SNES game is called Super Mario Kart. No game in the series is called Mario Kart.

There is a track in Mario Kart DS called Luigi’s Mansion. The question should probably be changed to say ‘Which track appears in every Mario Kart game?’

Nov 28, 2025
Yeah on my kids' DS it's called Luigi's Mansion--and that's the only time I've ever heard the name. I still figured Rainbow Road was more central to the original console game, whatever it was, though.

For number 9: the invention of agriculture produced more food, which required more laborers, who in turn needed more food. The extra food supply allowed people to have more children, but this also helped increase labor supply to grow the food, since children helped grow food. It was a vicious cycle that prevented humanity from returning to a hunter gatherer lifestyle.

Malthus didn't "observe" any of that; he only imagined it. We know about it today not because of its insight but because, from day one, it proved so useful in blaming the working class for their poverty.

This is such a college sophomore thing to say. No one is "blaming" the working class for anything. It's a basic observation: if you add more resources to a place, more people will go there. And when those people show up, the "excess" resources now become just enough to feed everyone.

People are always, always going to go where the most resources are. It's why 90% of the world's major cities are located on major bodies of water. Nobody "blames" anyone for that. It's just common-sense cause and effect.

Luigi’s mansion is definitely a course in Mario kart. The question never specified the original Mario kart, so it should be changed imo

Kiwi is NOT a fruit. Kiwi is a bird, endemic to New Zealand. Kiwi is also what New Zealanders call themselves. I’m a Kiwi (capital K).

The fruit is called kiwifruit. (One word). And yes, it used to be called Chinese gooseberry.

+5

It's both of those things. It's also a universally-understood shortened from of "kiwifruit," which nobody calls it unless they're trying to air a petty grievance. Your argument is like saying "Um, excuse me. 'Bus' is not a word. The correct term is 'omnibus.'!" It's ridiculous.

It's just a homonym. No one is equating New Zealanders with a fruit. Or do you think Americans spent yesterday eating parts of the Anatolian Peninsula?
