Most pooped
Higher is worse. #1 is the one people disapprove of most.
Built for web pages and still runs a large share of them. You can drop it in the middle of HTML, which is both the point and the complaint.
Ground peanuts, and little else in the plain version. The stabilizers exist so it does not separate on the shelf.
Boils faster on countries with higher mains voltage, which is why electric kettles are common in some kitchens and rare in others.
Written for business accounting in wordy, English-like sentences. Still moving money in banks and government systems today.
Built at Google for large teams: few features on purpose, one formatting style, and compiles fast enough to feel scripted.
Runs in every browser on earth, which means it can never really remove anything. Old mistakes stay because pages still depend on them.
Mixed workouts scored against the clock, with the format announced late so nobody can train for the exact test.
Korean pop built around groups, with choreography, concept and visual identity treated as part of the release.
Sung drama with an orchestra, performed without amplification, which is why the voices are trained the way they are.
Only the females bite. The diseases they carry make the mosquito the deadliest animal on earth for humans.
Bred to be less bitter over recent decades, which is why they divide people by age as much as by taste.
The scorpion. A water sign associated with intensity and secrets, and the one people bring up when they mean something darker.
Most protected
More Wipes than Poops. These are the entries people protect most.
The benefit comes from changing position rather than from standing, which is why the ones that move get used.
Digests bamboo with the gut of a carnivore, which is why it has to eat for most of its waking hours.
Eleven a side, one ball, and almost no use of the hands. The rest of the world calls it football and reserves soccer for arguments.
Moves heat outside rather than creating cold, which is why the unit outdoors blows warm air.
JavaScript with a type checker bolted on top. The types vanish when it compiles, so nothing survives to runtime to catch you.
A rodent the size of a large dog, semi-aquatic, and unusually tolerant of other species sitting on it.
You state facts and rules, and it searches for answers. There is no loop to write, which is either liberating or maddening.
Smells in stereo. Each nostril samples separately, which is how a dog works out which direction a smell came from.
Guitar, bass and drums as the core lineup. Broad enough that half the genres on this list started inside it.
Valencian, and the original is a land dish: rabbit, chicken and beans, no seafood. Never stirred, because the crust that forms underneath is the point.
Tracks who owns each piece of memory at compile time, so whole classes of crashes stop being possible. The compiler argues back.
Reads almost like English and enforces layout with indentation, so the spacing is not a style choice — it is the syntax.
Began in Southeast Asia as a way of preserving fish: rice was fermented around it and then thrown away. Eating the rice came much later.
