Honestly at this point you’re just being obnoxious

Cool except Europe is a sub-continent at best, not a continent.

My mom’s ass is a sub-continent.
GhostPain@lemmy.world 5 days ago
It’s her most appealing feature!

Interestingly, continents are super complex and there seems to be a continent hidden underneath the Mediterranean. A good YouTube video on the subject

Look at you with facts and shit.
You get a gold star buddy!

Why so aggressive? Did someone hurt you?
GhostPain@lemmy.world 4 days ago
Where are you from that you think that was aggressive?
Has humor completely died or do you need an excess of emojis to convey tone?

So, there’s 4 continents? Abya Yala, Afrasia, Australia and Antarctica
Fifrok@discuss.tchncs.de 5 days ago
Scratch that, there’s three. Australia is just an island with overgrown ego.
GhostPain@lemmy.world 5 days ago
It’s Turtle Islands all the way down, man.

If it were divided by continental tectonic plates, it would be welcome news for Southern Asia and most of the Middle East, but terrible news for New Zealand Iceland, and the Caribbean.
GhostPain@lemmy.world 5 days ago
The real problem is how slowly tectonic news travels.
grue@lemmy.world 5 days ago
What do you mean? New Zealand is the big winner in that classification, what with Zealandia being one of the biggest masses of sunken continental crust on Earth.
egrets@lemmy.world 4 days ago
In terms of continental plates, as I understand it, Zealandia straddles the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates, so if this map were split by major continental plates, New Zealand’s north and south islands would be split.
But I’m not a geologist.

You’re right, at least if you divide continents by being separated by surface water on all sides.

Continents are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria.
