This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Man Europe is hilariously small! Don't get me wrong, it'd love to abandon the US and live there. It's just mind blowing the perspective this map gives.

Europe is bigger than the US though.

Europe: 3,930,000 sq mi

The US: 3,794,100 sq mi

You're comparing continents and countries.

North America is over twice as large. So yes, from anyone on this side of the pond it's tiny.
