    There are 8 continents according to me, and I’m correct. North America, South America, Africa, Australasia, Eurasia, India, Arabia, Antarctica. Large landmasses that roughly line up with continental plates.

    Specifically though, there is no reasonable definition by which Europe is a continent and India and Arabia aren’t.

      I know you're trying to show off how woke you are but you can't argue that fucking arabia is a continent and not europe. continents are a social construct anyway.

        Arabia has its own continental plate, and is surrounded by water on most sides, with only a small connection to Africa and a moderate connection to Eurasia.

        “Europe” is just an Asian peninsula, with no clear idea of where it starts and ends.

          Let's just say it ends at the Alps. That'll piss off most countries I feel

            No large landmass. The largest island in the Caribbean is Cuba at 42,000mi, which is smaller than not just the UK, but En*land specifically. If someone really wanted to make the case that Cuba is a continent I’d hear them out but it seems like a stretch to me

              Well, you see ... takes big puff from cigar :fidel-cool:

              Here's a picture of the Caribean continental plate. crickets start chirping outside the embassy

              Here's a NSFV picture of England, represented as the likeness of Queen Elizabeth II of House Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha. cricket noise intensifies

              As you can see, Cuba is not even on the Caribean plate. Surprising, huh? :fidel-wut: crickets start chirping the guitar solo from November Rain

              If Cuba isn't even Caribean, and if you can't spell Caribean without "bean" ... crickets are now louder than a Boeing 747 during liftoff, intracranial pressure rises to unbearable levels

              And if this is a continental breakfast and this is an English breakfast ... cricket noise is now so unbearably loud that lights start to fade as Slash walks out of the embassy, ecstatically shredding away as a helicopter-mounted camera circles around him

              ... then it follows that CUBA IS NOT THE CONTINENT OF ENGLAND
