Not as hospitable as a San Diego Thank You imo

Thank you so much!

WKUK are always good, and the current guy on their channel is pushing very apt sketches in our current world crisis

Thanks for checking IMDB, I didn’t think to look there! I wonder if they have a wiki of sorts with this info

Because Im using rough visual metrics on an image, and not precise numerical analysis on GDAL? Jesus H.

gotta dig harder to get past the lava

Yes, bad title as others have kindly and politely pointed out

Most people in China would only need to start in their back yard

I mean, I hear you in terms of the major cities being mostly on the west-coast of China. I’d still argue that the vast majority of the rest of China would just hit water

I guess I’m a little surprised by people’s inability to extrapolate the overall intent of the post. I suppose it really was not clear…

Canada and russia

More than 80% of which would lead you right to water

France

I’m a bit floored by this one.

Fair enough, I’ll add it to the title – thanks for the correction

“Today I, the author of this post, Learned” seems implicit to me, but I suppose we all make our own definitions of the acronym

I’m sure you already know this, but just in case: if you want someone to learn something, it helps to actually point out their mistakes, rather than berating them with blank statements

Yep, well quoted. To learn something, it has to be something you didn’t already know.

So if you pick a random point in China, Russia, or Canada and start digging, you can say with reasonable certainty that you would hit land? Or would you more likely hit ocean?

Greenland one is true, I just don’t find it that interesting since it’s essentially part of the arctic circle

Empty criticism isn’t that welcome, but feedback with helpful corrections always is

Definitely, but it’s near the poles, so I find it more obvious than eye-opening. It’d be like saying you could tunnel through the north pole to get to the south pole. It’s true, but it’s not interesting.

The definition I’m using is something like: “more than 80% of a country’s landmass is covered by a landmass on the other side”

So china has parts where you hit land, but most of it hits ocean, and so it’s not on the list.

I also love how Japan, barely just barely scratches the coast of Brazil.

In the anime Darker Than Black, one of the plot points is a Heaven and Hell Gate centered around Tokyo and Brazil, with the implication that one is the antipode of the other. But they’re not!

The only place where Japan overlaps Brazil is the tiny Kagoshima prefecture

Other countries like China and Colombia have partial coverage in some regions.

The Greenland and Antartica antipodes don’t really count imo

I think that era is over. GTA 6 is looking to be another visually pretty rendition with limited innovation, and the satirical elements being sidelined for actual americana bs.

We’ve had games with destructible environments, realistic reactions, and decent physics, 15 years ago, and somehow the only envelope R* push are visuals, which are incremental at best, and online play, which are pay-to-win toxic casinos.
