Did somebody put an airplane seat in their house?

That's right 99% of the world, you're getting Australia's sloppy seconds sunlight.

Yup. You don't want to live here. It's all ice. In fact, we call it Ice Land. You want to go to Green land. Much nicer.

"You can't see borders from space"....

hhhahahaaaha oh the face of sweden

Route Shixty Shix

And next week, Turkey will border mash potatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole.

why have they blurred out the country of N i g e r

They go in Neum...

The appalachians end in north Georgia, not Florida

This is 100% not true for the northwest corner of the state. No upscale beach communities up there. Just lots of pot & meth

Hungary should be ousted from the UE, stat. They are clearly siding with Putin's imperialistic plans, leech off EU subsidies (which are often "mishandled" or straight up appropriated by Fidesz's -the governing party- officers) without following their obligations, and openly campaign against the Union's equity, freedom and integration policies. Orban is an authoritarian despot who was kept in power through two very debatable and likely rigged elections. If they don't get their s**t together they have no place in a modern European society.

And the Russian population will keep shrinking until the invasion of Ukraine is over with.

We appear to have got independence from ourselves.

Sad.

There are still couintries today (not Turkey itself) that deny this ever happened...

Today's US embargo is just plain stupid!

Wait. I thought there were only two hemispheres: North and South.

Seems you missed slaves

As if there were no weeds that came from the Americas - ragweed, Mahonia, Solidago, pennsylvanian ash, Amaramth, Californian poppy andon and on. Pests: phylloxera, potato beetle. Syphillis

Peas, lentils, and garbanzos are also Old World.

I've wondered , occasionally, what the world's history would have been like if there had been a few pandemic style diseases endemic to the Americas that affected the European explorers the same way European diseases affected the American native population.

There weren't any RATS in the americas before colonization?? I find that hard to believe. Must've been only certain species of rats that got introduced, and possibly/probably caused extinction of native rats.

Don’t forget that the Americas also sent cocaine and syphilis back to Europe

I didn’t realize that honey bees weren’t native to the americas. (We had other pollinating bees but not honeybees until the 1700s, crazy!)

This actually puts a lot of things into perspective for me as a North American, cool!

The Romans were ware of China, and China was aware of them, just no direct contact, though Roman coins have been found as far away as Korea. Also huge parts of Russia, the Romans knew Scythia, and the ancient greeks knew of Islands to the West of Ireland, which we know at least one is Iceland, so the Romans knew about it too.

Floor Jansen proves this map right ;)

I'm sure with the orange monkey in office, the US will now go backwards on this as well.

So that was why they invaded Cyprus?

That's because the earth is flat, and all the Chinese fell off.

New Mexico would be named Old Mexico probably

Took my stupid a** 5 minutes to realize it's just an alphabet jokel, and there aren't little islands running between Iceland and Ireland.

Yeah, we know - we are weird. Quatre-vingt douze.

If this is correct, that explain why I think the Fanta in Spain is much better then in Norway!

I single-handedly raised Bulgaria's index by posting comments on Bored Panda :P

Popeye, I hear, always uses Olive Oil.

That means they will be chasing waterfalls, since they can't stick to the rivers and the lakes that they're used to

Several of those brands have a roots in the late XIX century, where the North was remarkably industrial and the south was mostly agricultural. Others are industrial companies that started in the early XX century, benefiting from the growing rail and road connections with Central Europe, while the South was lagging behind in infrastructure investment.

At first glance I thought Xangai was the London Underground! 1992-787b_...50251f.jpg

This is clearly wrong because, as we all know, all roads lead to Rome! Boom, Boom, I'm here all week.

pretty close, all things considered!

Not trying to scare you, but... it will keep getting worse. Especially with the Orange Blob back in office.

Bourtange used to be a fortress

And imagine how much worse it would be if global warming was real.

Finland shows no data, because we don't hold conversations. At all.

For comparison: The U.S. has 3.3 million (or 1% ) people who identify solely as American Indian (the term preferred by most American Indians) and 8.8 million who identify as mixed-race including American Indian. A much larger portion of white Americans have at least one American Indian ancestor.

It's 100% for Vatican City, Monaco and Singapore. Aside from micronations/city states, Kuwait is probably the country with the largest population living it the capital, 70.3% and in Europe, Iceland has the largest percentage of population in the capital, 36.0%, followed by Estonia and Latvia.

The blue boomerang?

That's funny.

I presume by "salary," OP means "wage." In the U.S., "salaries" are used chiefly in managerial and teaching roles and specifically mean that the recipient is not paid by the hour. Hourly pay is called "wage."

Persians in America are the best!

Just because their headquarters is in the Netherlands, that doesn't make Stellaris Dutch (Fiat-Chrysler and Peugeot-Citroën) Same goes for Prosus, wich is South African. Not to mention that Linde is German and not from the UK
