@Tsundoku Puzzling is running an "advent calendar" event during December - maybe we could try to do something similar.
But 100+ new questions in such a short timespan could push our Unanswered stats so high that we're not eligible for graduation any more. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot ;-)
@Randal'Thor I have 72 unanswered questions. If I temporarily delete them, that should compensate for the new unanswered questions ;-) #GamingTheSystem
The Wikipedia article about Jorge Amado's The Discovery of America by the Turks / A Descoberta da América pelos Turcos describes this work as "a Brazilian Modernist novel", even though it was written in 1994, long after the heyday of literary modernism.
When exactly modernism ended has been debat...
Deleting those might get our percentage of answered questions up to 79%. (I haven't done any calculations, this is just a guess.)
When I started tracking site statistics in May 2019, the percentage of answered question was 73%. Our answers-per-question ratio has remained at 1.4. That's our most constant statistic.

My dislike of the "SE is not a forum" maxim probably stems from main meta where it's sometimes used as a pedantic way to shut people down. You can make a wonderful argument for a new feature, but if you use the word "forum" in your post, then your argument is invalid.
I nearly always saw them at the beach, where it’s difficult to get a good look at anyone. Particularly so in my case, because I’m nearsighted and would rather see everything through a haze than return to Madrid with a kind of white mask on my otherwise tan face, and I never wear my contact lense...
The Wikipedia article about Jorge Amado's Home Is the Sailor / Os velhos marinheiros ou o capitão de longo curso describes this work as a "Brazilian modernist novel". The corresponding Portugese and Italian Wikipedia articles contain no similar claims. The novel was written in 1961, long after wh...
Jorge Amado's novel Captains of the Sands concerns children living in the streets of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, and forming gangs that engaged in petty crime. From the opening of the book:
