minus-squareZamboni_DriverlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·7 days ago A country cannot be in/on two different continents. Says who?
minus-squarehitmyspot@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 days agoHeck Australia is it’s own continent and also claims part of Antarctica as territory.

minus-squareWomble@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 days agoMoscow is in Europe, as is Petersburg, as are something like 80% of the population. So if you want to be like that and say a country has to be entirely in one continent then Russia is in Europe.
minus-squareZamboni_DriverlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·7 days agoSeriously? I thought you would at least be able to come up with a funny explanation to support your nonsensical statement. So if France conquered all of Africa? Africa wouldn’t be a continent anymore? Would we just continuously move the continental border? If the US conquered Australia, Australia would become part of North America? How about you slow down and think about this one for a few minutes.
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·7 days agoProbably not, but there are homes in two different countries.
minus-squareKlear@quokk.aulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 days agoYeah, I’ve stood in two different countries at the same time before. Haven’t you?
