    Source on the “1973 marathon” bit? According to her Wikipedia page, she was a middle distance runner, and she seemed to have competed in only one race without proper gear (in 1972).

      Good catch. Many of these .world posts are Facebook-tier

        Why do you feel that stereotyping Lemmy users according to the instance they signed up to is okay?

          Yeah, it’s almost like they have a prejudice against cum farts originating with satan, or something.

          Sorry, I know that’s not related, but I still get a laugh out of your user name every time I see it.

          I think it’s a reactionary response to people (fairly or not) stereotyping .ml users.

              And I am saying stereotyping .world users as “Facebook” level is a reaction to people stereotyping .ml users.

                Doesn’t the ML literally stand for Marxist Lenninist? Or am I finding meaning where there is none?

                  It may in context stand for Marxist Leninist. I don’t know. I myself am not a Marxist Leninist nor am I a fan of how Lemmy.ml is run.

          Of course they think it’s okay to stereotype, they’re from .ml!

      Yeah, says she was a middle-distance runner here too. Believe OP, or whoever OP got it from, got a bit confused as to the details of a marathon, which are specifically long-distance.

      If you’ve already looked it up, please share the link (next time) so we don’t have to also look it up. I’m not going to look this one up, because I don’t really care about it, but I would have clicked the link.
