An interesting theory, but it's much more readily explained by dumplings being used as rations during the Finno-Korean Hyperwar
|

|
dumplings were a staple of the ancients and when they brought humans to earth and planted the stargate, they introduced dumplings.

The real winners here are Japan, India, and Italy, which did not get conquered by Mongols and yet still made out with some delightful dumplings.

Is it me or is it weird to include the African bits on that map? Because whats included on this map simply includes the coastal bits of the different Atlas ranges that go, essentially, east-to-west. And south of that this map has land that as far as I understand it isnt too mountainous at all?

The Anti-Atlas mountains specifically were part of the same range as the Appalachians and the Caledonians.

I actually used this map for a class discussion at one point recently. My students and I concluded that the purple is a mix of London immigrants and their descendents, and Ulster Protestants.

That sudden oceanic abyss is eerily almost exactly where I find Connecticut to stop feeling like NYC metro and start feeling like New England. The coast suddenly stops being dense suburbs and mini-cities, and starts being cute little leafy shore towns with lots of clam shacks. Grape fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Aug 10, 2022 |

I've heard that a problem with the transit system around NYC is that there's no beltways to go around Manhattan, so people have to funnel through the busiest part of the network to get between different branches. Also nice to see the rail just zig right around my hometown. Maybe if it zagged I'd have grown into a proper train nerd. Or at least have developed some kind of understanding of how to interpret rail maps in relation to the real world.

Yeah the New York subway is very radial and Manhattan focused. It desperately needs a loop line.

Platystemon posted:And Leicester There seems to be a similar but much less pronounced trend in Nottingham, Derby, and Birmingham/West Midlands. I'm surprised it's that much smaller but then again through folk history a bunch of people in Leicester still associate the Kingdom of England with the Sack of Leicester.

Prince Rupert of the Rhine, who sacked Leicester, was believed by many to be a witch and his dog Boy, a large white poodle, was thought to be a shape shifting immortal being (either a demon or a Sami witch depending on the source) who would catch any bullets fired at his master in his mouth. This belief was proven wrong when Boy was shot and killed at Marston Moor in 1644. Rupert's Land, the territory of the Hudson Bay Company, in what is now Canada was named after Rupert.
