was my 1st thought too, then realized they're both connected by the north pole

Frozen water. Yeah

World record for furthest distance in 12 hours for a human (ultra-marathon) was 164km

Growing up in Soviet Union, we were taught that Soviet army is, like, protectors and peace makers of the world. To see them bashing protesters with rifle butts, on TV, shook my 13 year old self pretty hard. By the way, they were not locally stationed troops. They were Alpha Group, flown in by orders from Gorby the Butcher. It's the same notorious Alpha Group that was more deadly to civilian hostages than to armed insurgents, in every crisis they had ever participated.

Don't worry, humans don't make great conductors ;)

No problem

Just because no one is living on a lot of our land, doesn't mean it's all natural. There are a lot of huge farms and pine forestry. One of the square km will hold a farm house and many thousands around it would show an empty on this map. Likewise, no one lives in the pine forests, but plenty of people go there to work every day.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Yeah, earthquakes are awful, but other places have forest fires or frequent shootings or have to live in gated communities to feel safe, etc. Bad earthquakes are infrequent and we build to survive them. Christchurch was a bad one because they'd never really had big ones there so weren't all built for it - and one building was responsible for 62% of the deaths in that one.

I heard it's prone to earthquakes, though...

It's honestly not at the moment.

There's actually a LOT of continental material below sea level... much of it much closer to the surface than most of Zealandia... much of that in the Atlantic Ocean, named for Atlantis. The Bahamas are spread over an area the size of a major European nation, separated by water only a few meters deep. There are huge banks that are too shallow for navigation by huge vessels and that are also the size of nations.

Moist boi

unfortunately we're are experiencing a lot of flooding disasters due in part to climate change, but the most because Italians politics and local administrations never PREVENTS disasters, every kind of disaster. we cry AFTER disaster. After the glorius and worldwide Roman Empire, we've been dominated, and institutions are remained the enemy... We all Italians have to consider that Italian State ARE US, not the ENEMY to fu*k, but a lot people evading taxes without big shame by citizens. It should to be like in USA, apart all their healthfare problems (that is an economical shame) people condamn people who don't pay taxes, making them feel ashamed. When you stole money to your country, you stole to yourself!
