It varies by outlet and by country.

US style tends to favour total number of medals, UK style tends to favour number of Golds, then Silvers, then Bronzes.

Other countries or outlets will assign medals point totals (usually 3:2:1).

All these choices are arbitrary and equally "correct"... though the IOC does default to the Golds, then Silvers, then Bronzes method.

About a kilogram at the size of the Tokyo medals. The solid silver one weighs five hundred and fifty grams. Gold is a little less than twice as dense.

If you're athletic enough to win a gold medal, you should be athletic enough to wear one without falling over or hurting your neck, imho.

They should create a new sport around who can carry the most medals. The winning country's team has them added to the total.

I think the x-axis and the sub categories are measuring technology. So, that would make the y-axis measuring units of "comparison", if I am reading the title right.

Yeah, pretty much. It appears to be different units for each sub-bar, making the total some kind of useless composite.

Its probably some kind of subjective 0-10 score for each category, summed up to a total score. Its not an absolutely worthless way to compare things, but it looks like there is no weighting, so safety is worth just as much as recycleability in making the total score.

When I got mine it was only a couple of years old. Supposedly it can be used for math, but I made stupid games and then leveraged that into a career in computer touching (abandoning the particle physics-track that was the reason I got it in the first place. Oops.)

I know it's stupid to try and critique Greg Gutfeld, but the long term effects of Covid also needs a question mark to be complete. Like, every single thing that could be in the lower right quadrant could also be in the lower left. Maybe people who caught Covid now will get early onset Alzheimer's ten years down the road, maybe their dicks will fall off. Any uncertainty from the vaccine is also present in the new mystery disease.
