Europe being on a different continent than Asia always seemed like bullshit. I can forgive the isthmuses, but Eurasia feels like it's a thing to me.

There's one continent, it's called the crust of the Earth. There's some water on top of it in some places.

Stop doing maps. Years of cartography and this is what they want you believe? /s -ish.

Cartography always has a hidden set of assumptions and goals and because political geography as infrastructure isn't exactly a consensus topic either, shenanigans like this are pretty much expectable in geography.

Pluto was always a continent!!!!

Honestly, the biggest two problems I've encountered are:

1. "Oceania" is not a continent. It's like seven smaller continental plates. Zealandia is more of a continent than Europe is. Similarly, Greenland is also more of a continent than Europe is.
2. if you're going to count Europe, you also have to count India, and in reality, we should probably just talk about cratons and plates, not "continents".

I don't believe in continents. I'm incontinent.

Of course there isn't. There are 10 billion people on earth. I even disagree with myself on the matter.

PS: TIL too.

There's between 3 and 500. Since it's statistically unlikely that the correct number would be at either extreme, the most likely correct number of continents would be somewhere around 250, with a margin of error of approximately 245.

In the great words of Atlas Pro after going into excruciating detail on why no answer is more correct He said:

So gow many continents are there?

"Obviously six"

No further clarification was given.

imo europe is a colonialist excuse, not a continent

I always assumed North America was Canada, America was the USA/Mexico and South America was Brazil/Venezuela.

Europe isn't a continent, it's a political entity. A continent is geographic. EurAsia is a continent.

Isn't it tectonic separation? Like the plates? 🤔

It's wild how much "basic science" is just some pale bro's wacky idea.

why does Australia get one they don't even do it right
