I wonder if the USA will ever participate in the baseball World Cup. Probably not because they suck at sports. e: Oh sorry they have participated; they've just never gotten a single point lmao smhd.

Yeah Spain expelled jews in the late medieval and then the arab world expelled jews in response to the Nakba, so most sephardim nowadays are in Israel, France, or the Americas rather than in Iberia. Outside of South America idk how many of those people use spanish at all, but it's not totally ludicrous.

Ethnicity is a useful word for cultural identity, though I mean yeah it can be used in a creepy blood and soil sense by chuds I guess? Still a weird rear end post.

Specifically Thessaloniki. As to why Greece wouldn't also show up in that map.... well Thessaloniki was part of the German occupation zone in WW2.

This post got me to look up the baseball world cup because I didn't even know such a thing existed. I found like four different baseball world cups (Baseball World Cup, Olympic Baseball Cup, World Baseball Classic, WBSC Premier12) but not a single one the US hasn't at least gotten second. Baseball needs to chill on the number of world championships, especially if there is a mystery fifth tournament that the US has never played in.

If a world baseball tournament cup championship thing does not do the dance with Major League Baseball to allow MLB players to participate, then it is not a world baseball tournament cup championship thing. MLB contracts extend into the depths of the minor leagues, and contain not only Estadiounidense but the rest of the players in the Americas worth having (and a good wodge of Asia as well). Might as well run the World Cup without UEFA players. Natty Ninefingers fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Jun 12, 2022 |

This also makes “what two countries share the shortest land border in North America” a good trivia question. Though I haven’t checked, maybe there’s a shorter one?

Probably more detail than like 98% of Europeans if you asked them to do it on the spot. The only glaring "wtf" issue I see is that you seem to have massively overcorrected the exaggerated largeness of Greenland on normal maps to make it exaggeratedly tiny.

Finding maps like these was surprisingly difficult considering the sheer number of mil/gun nerds out there. They claim to depict main service rifle cartridge type.

Reveilled posted:This also makes “what two countries share the shortest land border in North America” a good trivia question. The shortest in both Americas, even. According to wikipedia at least it's only beaten by Botswana-Zambia (155m) and Spain-UK (1.22km at Gibraltar, just beating it by 40 metres). Also possibly Macau but that doesn't seem like it'll be claiming independence any time soon from my surface-level google search of Macau's relationship with china e: also a tiny area between Sri Lanka and India which may or may not have land in it at the point where the border is Angepain fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Jun 17, 2022 |
