What are you doing step-continent?
It's fun to think about all the shit the people who first came up with that idea went through.
today he is most remembered as the originator of continental drift hypothesis by suggesting in 1912 that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth (German: Kontinentalverschiebung).
Alfred Wegener - his hypothesis was not accepted by mainstream geology until the 1950s, when numerous discoveries such as palaeomagnetism provided strong support for continental drift, and thereby a substantial basis for today's model of plate tectonics
Forty years of "you moron!" and "fuckin' weirdo dweeb" to be proven right in a major shift of academic thinking. And he wasn't even the first to think of it - anyone folding a map back in the days probably had a similar thought. But. The rigid nature of what is allowed to be a fact was . . uh . . different. Then.

Yeah yeah, no I get it, just sayinβ. It was a huge humiliating effort to get fellow academics to acknowledge it at all. And thatβs still true in some areas today.

Well, this image is flat so... makes sense to me! π
Sexy time
Sure, let's do it
Now kith
Bad touch Florida!
Comfy if true
The alarming part is the gun shape missing just south of Maine. Which continent has that weapon right now??
Kinda looks like a sweet nuzzle.
Amerstaylia
Which explains why on both continents they speak English. They were once one culture living on the same land.
I think they should touch tips. Make that peninsula on Australia meet Florida.
Makes a whole lot more sense as to why Americans built a tall ass tower that makes planes fall out of the sky on Oz's west coast now
