So cool what humans can do when we acually do it together.

🤣

Careful, cyclist person.... Spencer Elden might come for you too.

And that's why until very recently, 90% of the population lived on or near the eastern seaboard.

I used to live in Verulam Road, St Albans, England, as a child (over 50 years ago!). Was always finding little pieces of Roman pottery in the back garden.

"Free country"

Russian attack on the Ukraine started today at night. I'm devastated.

Yes, it's possible for a country to expand its borders WITHOUT STARTING A WAR.

I suppose this means you won't get extra punishment for escaping, not that you wouldn't be forced to go back to prison, if caught?

They were everywhere

That's fantastic! Beavers are a "keystone species", that make massive contributions to the health of forests, wetlands, waterways, and even water tables! The American West is the place where they're needed most, they were almost killed off by fur traders and other interlopers, and if we had more beavers... we'd have less drought and fewer wildfires.

Sweden is probably because of all the immigrants.

I suspect because of public health care... and maybe less crime.

I can totally see someone in my family doing this on Ticket to Ride - by accident. A board that has this as an objective wouldn't count

The red part contains Bangladesh, some parts of India, Bhutan and Nepal. I live here and I don't think most people know what condoms or birth control is.

This is so frightening. It is practically right around the corner. I hope the people there are ok and can/ could be evacuated. Hope for the best!

Heartbreaking.

So cool

Who else besides me would get totally lost there?

That should read "European countries." New Zealand has had a gay head of state.

iceland always amaze me

Serbia?what,when?

"Koine" Greek

More accurate than i imagined

Illinois was ahead of its time.

Claustrophobic nightmare

Google: "The most distant point from an ocean is the Eurasian Pole of Inaccessibility (or "EPIA") 46°17′N 86°40′E, in China's Xinjiang region near the border with Kazakhstan. Calculations have shown that this point, located in the Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert, is 2,645 km (1,644 mi) from the nearest coastline."

"Fight for your country" is kind of an ambiguous term. Like, there's the American sense of "get sent overseas to invade other countries and that... protects our 'freedom' somehow" contrasted with "fight if someone actually invades my country."

The last time this map was on here, it got torn to shreds about its sheer inaccuracy. It doesn't classify most actual castles as castles, especially in the UK and Spain, but it does count palaces and chateaux (which includes mansions and large stately homes in France only). I live a five minute walk from an actual bloody castle and it is not on this.

Does moving New Zealand help with weight loss?

Fascinating if this map could be compared with ones from 50 and 100 years ago.

meanwhile in america...

"Celsius"

The longest sea voyage I've ever taken was from the southern tip of Chile, to the Antarctic Peninsula. Definitely wasn't worried about piracy on the Great Southern Ocean.

In Turkey a low grade is like Na-aa :D

Fu*k cancer.
