Fascinating shit

LudwigvanBeethoven , in [Map] Usual name order in European countries

proudly representing the best order from Hungary. It just makes more sense with Hungarian.

barcaxavi ,

With the name order, yes. I'm also feeling this with the date format we're using (YYYY.MM.DD.).
And the list stops here, before we start talking how we use "on, at, to,..." plus other quirky grammar stuff.

LudwigvanBeethoven ,

ppl learning German: OMG 4 cases‽
Hungarian: we have 18 cases, none of them resemble any language, and we have way too many irregularities. glhf.

on the date format: it's great when it's fully written out, but I specifically prefer the 2000 version of ISO 8601: it allows for a --02-24 format for month and date, and the extra dash clarifies that the year is missing

@Five bruh, just browse the map starting from this point. All the world is just a couple of streets.

woobie , in A half-day trip to all the major cities in Europe without leaving Ontario, Canada

On a similar note, you also could visit Moscow, Paris, Dublin, London, Vienna, Berlin, Warsaw, Florence, Athens, Edinburg, Geneva, Italy, Liverpool, Naples and Newcastle without leaving the state of Texas.

This is not to be considered a recommendation.

mkwt ,

If you go to Paris, TX, you could take a ride in the Paris Metro.

If it was Ohio we'd all be dead by now

Lemminary , in It has to be a conspiracy of some kind

I like how this implies that the hole would bore through half the size of both Georgias.

I assume you're talking about the afsluitdijk, the straight part connecting the two land masses at the North. It's actually a big dyke that you can drive on, it's a critical part of the land reclamation system and basically the reason flevoland exists, it's cool.

No this is the Holland Tunnel right?

Are you implying that we should be counting atlanteans, cetaceans, the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh, and the mole people? I don't think they much care about being left out.

Melatonin ,

What about the people who live on the INSIDE of the Earth huh? CHECKMATE solid earthers!

hglman , in Some things are impossible to explain

Cool racism your trying to promote

rockSlayer ,

I'm interested in understanding why you feel like this is racist.

Worx ,

Continental drift in its current form was theorised by Alfred Wegener. Wegener was a citizen of the German empire. Empires were invented by Rome. Rome shares two letters with Race. Race is a social construct that allows for racism. Therefore all Mexicans who have allowed their border to continentally drift away from Merica are racist.

That's my best guess, anyway

rockSlayer ,

Ah, I didn't know we were using the "why fire trucks are red" argument. I see now why it's racist

IWantToFuckSpez ,

They’s borderline

lugal ,

I hope this is Poe's Law at play. I literally don't know what that even means if it's meant seriously

Riven ,
@Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

As a Mexican I also have no idea what that guy is talking about. My best guess is that he thinks it's racist because it just mentions Mexico at all?
