What Do These Images Say About The Off Topics?

I posted this in the GD, about the Conquer Gods: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=203323&view=unread#p4447302

I figured it might also be fun with a more Off Topic bent. So here are the top returned images based on some Off Topic topics. You can play along too, just search: Conquer Club <term> to see what shows up. Note, though I said "play" this is not a forum game. This is a serious topic discussing what the returned images say about the Off Topics and Off Topic topics.

Here are two kickoff examples:

This reminds me fondly of so many things, but also of my first locked thread.

Compare "marxism" (first post) to "capitalism" (below)

The same valley image from a "land before time" topic appears in the same position in both searches: https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... 8&t=139022

BvP is on there with capitalism, but he's a bona fide Communist. Doc Brown's avatar makes sense though.

I love this game by the way.

Yeah I've never looked at two comparable google image search results side by side. It seems that in their display of results they are using a slotting system, drawing on image size & format, their own visual recognition software for what the image looks like, no doubt their algorithmic rankings of the source they found the image on, keywords with the image and prolly other stuff too to produce a maximally useful and interesting search results display. All in the time it takes me to decide to stop scratching my balls. Clever old google.

Well, we've had Capitalism and Communism, but what about the greatest "ism" of all?

I like that many of my additions to the Hot+Sexy+nsfw topic are highly represented -- at least 10 I think.
