It's page 1453, post your best Greek irredentist maps! Just Cyprus and a bit of Turkey? Go big or go home, reddit user thebeginningistheend. You disappoint me.  Alright that's better, gotta get that sweet Trapenzuntine Anatolian clay  Now we're talking, Sicily is obviously still Greek yeah? Sadly these seem to be althistory maps and not revanchist goobers tho. However, this guy seems to be for real:  "map of terriotories belonging to Greece, as times and years go by they shall be ours again" Gotta love that they claim like 99% of the Egyptian population based on what, some colonies on the coast 2500+ years ago? Comedy option:

Carbon dioxide posted:Aren't those desert states trails a good way to die? any hiking trail can kill you if you're not prepared, but desert trails kill much more quickly through slaying the unprepared by exposure to the elements. it's harder to die environmentally in the east because the landscape is more forgiving and you're never really that far from another human being - you'll die from being murdered, being dumb around a bear, falling off something, or just getting extremely lost

Ras Het posted:I feel like there's some specific cultural element to these trails that seem to invite people on four month long hikes. In fact I think the whole idea of "hiking" is suspicious I have done a fairly short through-hike (about 200 mi) in the Sierra Nevada and it was basically amazing so I dunno, people should give it a shot. Though maybe skip it if you aren't really into walking. There's a lot of it

I've done a bunch of half-day hikes in Scotland and Switzerland and it's fantastic. Lots of sights you wouldn't see otherwise. I just really hate camping so if it's beyond the distance where I can get back to my car/hotel in the same day it's not for me.

also while very few people through hike long trails, shitloads of people hike small chunks of them either as day hikers or on a weekend trip with an overnight camp. on some weekends the mountains get wildly crowded, its a great public resource to just spend a day outside

In Vienna it's two kisses, starting on the left cheek for the record. I think it's the same in all of southern Germany too - if you even cheek-kiss as a greeting in the first place, that is

I mean when I was in Paris for a weekend, it was crowded at the Eiffel tower in the afternoon so we decided to go first thing next morning. We were there just before opening time. 5 - 10 minutes after the listed opening time the first Eiffel tower staff arrived. They then proceeded with 10 minutes of kissing each other on the cheek and discussing the latest news or whatever. After that they slowly got ready to set themselves up and open up the ticket booth.

Map is hosed up tbh. The Arc Lémanique is always 3 kisses and it’s always left-right-left. All of Vaud is left-right-left. I think the rest of Suisse Romande too but I’d have to ask. Parisiennes always throw me off.

Kissing number and order is incredibly important to be on the same page on. I had a friend from a two cheek kiss culture take an uber ride with a Mexican dude which is a one cheek kiss culture and they did end up accidentally kissing on the lips.

I had a friend from a two cheek kiss culture take an uber ride with a Mexican dude which is a one cheek kiss culture and they did end up accidentally kissing on the lips. It's even more important when you're visiting a non-cheek kissing culture *at all*. I still get shame flashbacks of that one time when, invited for dinner, I unthinkingly went for la bise with the daughter of my boss while on a summer work thing in the rural US. She jumped back and flashed me a look of such shock and confusion while the dad raised an eyebrow like I'd just tried to pat her on the butt... That was near 25 years ago, and it's *still* in the routine 2am pre-sleep "helpful reminder : you're absolute poo poo and no one loves you, not really" mind reel highlights. And now, much like a "do you walk like *this* ?" question, I'm terminally confused about how many kisses I do and from which side. But it's funny just how much French cultural poo poo is still strictly bisected by that Bordeaux/Strasbourg line. Oil/oc ain't dead.

I mean, they can do what they like but I don't get XTREME "hiking" at all.

I don’t know about the US but in Switzerland you would never confuse the words for "hike" and "walk". I’ve heard people speaking English refer to things like a paved trail around a lake as a "hike" and it always sounds bizarre to me. Regarding the initial context I also would not refer to a 50 day trek across Kansas as a hike, even though it would be physically exhausting. I’d call it "awful" or I guess a "trek". I don’t think anything can be a hike without significant abrupt changes in elevation, but I guess that can be culturally / localization specific.

Nobody involved in this hobby would call walking across Kansas a hike. They would say they were "backpacking". Hike in American English basically just refers to "going to a 'natural' area and walking around," there's no connotation of severe strain or exercise. But jesus christ people virtually nobody backpacks across Kansas. Those routes are almost exclusively used by bikers, or locals will do what they call "section hiking" where they go a hike a 50 mile piece of the trail over the weekend.

Squalid posted:Hike in American English basically just refers to "going to a 'natural' area and walking around," there's no connotation of severe strain or exercise. "Hike" also usually carries the implication that there will be no pavement, that it probably won't be flat (Kansas excluded, of course), and that the walk in question will be of at least moderate length.

Those maps are always kind of dumb anyway because "pissing" might still only be like 0.2% of all searches in Germany, but that might make it 110% higher than the global average. It’d be more interesting if they also included the absolute percentage.
