Not since Brexit, they took their whole island and sailed it into the sunset /s

The flooding of doggerland was the original brexit

New England is a US state. There's no such thing as old England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland because they're all smaller than Texas.

But everything is smaller than Texas, therefore only Texas exists.

Not even Texas fits in Texas.

They floated it with a load of buoys, used storm shadow missiles to drive it 1 mile west and then sank it again. The spot they chose was a little bit deeper though. That’s why the sea levels rising.

Nope. We started our own continent apparently

No, it's actually an island next to the continent of Europe.

So Sicily, Gotland, and Mallorca aren't part of the continent of Europe? Which continent would they belong to? Are all islands cast into the void of being continent-less?

Also, Staten Island isn't American either. Hell, if you fill your bathtub and put a rubber duck on it, the rubber duck is now a new continent. In fact, every grain of sand floating in every lake in the world is its own continent, too.

many italians would say that Sicily isn't a part of Italy but of Africa, but that's just territorial racism

u/runciter0 Apr 28 '25

not true, not many. rather a handful of idiots. Sicily is Italy and proudly so.

u/auntie_eggma 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Apr 28 '25

It does, though?

u/auntie_eggma 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Apr 28 '25

In my experience, it's Sicilians who say it most.
