  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).

So 94%. Why not just say that? Weird, obtus statistic.

It's easier to visualize 16 people and 15 of them dead

How is that easier than visualizing 100 people with only 6 alive?

That's a lot of people to fit in the noggin.

Not really. Here, this is a picture of 100 people: https://files.catbox.moe/5rys73.jpg

Is that really too much to reasonably visualize?

Maybe I can fit them if I uninstall FFXV.
