Which one?

henfredemars , in Some things are impossible to explain

Nearly? Where do they disagree?

mkwt ,

I think there's one situation where the border was defined by the river but then the river moved, and some Americans ended up on the Mexican side of the river. I'm not sure if this is an active border dispute or not.

I think there are some semi active disputes going about the possibility that some American water management activities in the watershed may cause the river to shift more. For reference, the headwaters of the Rio Grande are deeper into US territory, not on the border

Blamemeta ,

Florida. Mexico aint touching florida

hitmyspot ,

Where the Mexican border ends? The us southern border still exists when not in contact with mexico.

RizzRustbolt , in This would be the time to plan something without Australia

Free Burger King for everyone under the sun!

hitmyspot ,

We don't have burger king in Australia. Its called hungry jacks. There was another chain called burger king, now gone, and burger king bought an existing chain called hungry jacks. So it would work!

echodot ,

We know. That's like the main Australian fact, it's important to mention it at every opportunity. Along with, you know, the emu War.

And back in the 90s, Hungry Jack's had a set of mascots called the Kids' Club that had something to do with their kid meals. One of them was a kid in a wheelchair named Wheels.

Bugs should be saying Neum there instead

sin_free_for_00_days , in The most popular metal band (2024) from each country, according to Spotify

Every single country appears to have better taste in metal than the US.

ElJefe ,

I don’t discredit what Metallica contributed to the metal genre. Hell, I was once a hardcore Metallica fan. But since their heyday, many much better bands have appeared. And with actually good drummers.

BanjoShepard ,

I agree with you, but also if you asked me to pick one metal band to represent American metal, I'd struggle greatly to pick just one.

Rachelhazideas , in Let's make something clear

There are only two poles, north and south. Everywhere else is a mental illness.

spizzat2 ,

Well, you're not wrong... Texas adopted legislation declaring that the West Pole must exist, and therefore must be in Texas.

Abnorc ,

As if dipoles exist.

lemmylommy , in Bit shite innit

Grey as a mouse,

Big as a house,

Nose like a snake,

I make the earth shake,

As I tramp through the grass;

Trees crack as I pass.

With horns in my mouth

I walk in the South,

Flapping big ears.

Beyond count of years

I stump round and round,

Never lie on the ground,

Not even to die.

Oliphaunt am I,

Biggest of all,

Huge, old, and tall.

If ever you'd meet me

You wouldn't forget me.

If you never do,

You won't think I'm true;

But old Oliphaunt am I,

And I never lie.

Omgboom , in Map of the Midwest and its territories

I was about to get real upset until I saw where this was posted

lettruthout , in States where a toddler can legally have a scotch on the rocks to take the edge off after a long day at daycare
