Thanks. :)
Haha, hell no. It was full of faulty logic, hardly waterproof axioms, and clearly biased toward the quasi-geological perspective over political, cultural, and economic perspectives.
So, no. I do not believe this now. Haha.
Lol that's interesting. Kind of a clever way of looking at it. Haha.
..............Ow.
I'm not a Discordian but I do believe in the Republic of Dave!
Do I get a seat? :D
Waaaaay back in college (this was over a decade ago), I wrote a 16-page paper making the argument that there were only four continents, not five, six, or seven as various countries proclaim:
The Cliff Notes:
- North America and South America can be still considered a single continent due to the fact that the Panama Canal doesn't fully bisect the two landmasses. (The Isthmus of Panama is still very much wild rainforest and lakes, and the canal is essentially two points on each side connected by a boat route across multiple of these lakes).
So, #1: America (alt. the Americas)
- Europe and Asia are not actually bisected into two landmasses, and if anything any physical connection is reinforced by the fact that the boundary is the Ural Mountain range.
So, #2: Eurasia
- Prior to the construction of the Suez Canal in 1869, Europe and Africa were indeed the same landmass, connected by the Isthmus of Suez. However, as the Suez Canal is a sea-level canal, it is created by literally cutting the landmasses apart down to relative sea levels.
So, #3: Africa
- Australia.........Yeah, I didn't see any reason why it should lose its status as the world's biggest island and smallest continent.
So, #4: Australia
- Antarctica I didn't consider a continent because it's mostly ice, and if Australia is considered the minimum bound for how big a "continent" should be, then, well, the portion of Antarctica that is actually ground below all that ice is actually a smaller contiguous size than Australia, ergo it cannot count as a continent.
'Course now I'm older and realize that was all bullshit. Lol. Sure it makes sense from a geological standpoint (but even that is bullshit as geologically there are no "continents", only plates), but a continent is more than its geological structure; it's geological, political, and economic, all three of these rolled into one.

Yeah I don't personally like how unlike LibreWolf it doesn't use ResistFingerprinting.
Not OP, but I've never heard of IronFox. Is it a comparable replacement for Mull? Gods I'm still a bit salty over how sudden that was...
LibreWolf is what I use, but I heard Zen Browser is another fork that's been getting some traction. I don't use it though, but I've heard from someone who does that it works for them. thumbs-up
As @erotador@lemmy.blahaj.zone said, default Firefox is still more private than Chrome. Also, if you want security (and more privacy) on top of that, you should look into LibreWolf. I've been using it for a few years now and it's fantastic!
