an image file format designed by Google for the World Wide Web. it's much superior in compression compared to other formats, whether lossy (like JPEG) or lossless (like PNG), supports animation (like GIF), and can do almost anything those formats can. the problem is that nobody likes it anyway. Google itself doesn't even support it for the Google Docs suite, most applications don't open them, and many people simply convert them to PNG on sight, which is disruptive to workflows. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

equal rights equal fights 

"equal rights equal fights" extends the idea of equal rights for both men and women to fighting.

traditionally, an honorable man or boy would not fight or attack a woman or girl; however, "equal rights equal fights" argues that since males and females should civilly be treated equally, a man shouldn't necessarily be expected to hold back from a fight against a woman.

this idea is controversial, since the simple truth is that due to fundamental differences in body composition, the average man will almost always be able to win a fight against the average woman, and even a relatively strong and/or skillful woman may lose against a relatively weak and/or unskilled man. this fact makes the application of "equal rights" not always equivalent to "equal fights," since while the rights of men and women are (ideally) equal, their physical bodies are not.
male who loves pizza: "you stole my pizza. now we must battle to the death."
female pizza thief: "nope, can't hit a girl."
guy: "equal rights equal fights. chivalry is outdated. now, have at you!"
*they fight, unencumbered by societal expectations and traditions*

Las Vegas 

Where everyone is trying to steal your money, but in Vegas, it's legal.

The architecture is cool though

Fandom wiki's law 

There is a Fandom / Wikia wiki for everything you could think of, including YouTube, heffalumps and woozles, The Price is Right, fictional hurricanes, Illumination's "Sing", VeggieTales, VeggieTales fanon, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Windows Media Player's visualization feature, Baldi's Basics, Bob's Burgers, prepaid SIM cards, and Kim Kardashian. Most of them are poorly written and maintained by about two active users per wiki.
