So... Does this mean Australia is no longer a continent?
Dwarf continent
Or does it mean Australia is a planet?
Australia would have to round up its edges and clear it's orbit of little islands before being called a planet.
I'm sure the rest of the world would agree!
Mostly just a cunt
If that photo was taken right before impact, none of the continents will remain continents because it's all about to melt and we might have another moon when everything settles down and we evolve back from scratch over the next several billion years.
The only survivors would be Australia's infamous Magma Spiders.
Just in time to get baked by the sun!
Sand Mass?
It never was. The concept of Australis is part of spherical world order.
Do you really think a Platypus is a real animal? A mammal that let's eggs and has bioluminescent fur. Get the fuck outta here.
Seems like it amounts to a gas giant down under.
