Umm… I don’t know what happened, exactly. When I first clicked the link to get a bigger picture, I somehow ended up on imgur, which only had a very low-resolution version. I could only find the big picture in the linked reddit, so I posted it.
I cannot reproduce this issue anymore, so I removed my comment.
The long ‘island’ north of Iceland and the long island to the left are probably the inhabited parts of Greenland. The north of Canada and the North of Russia seem to be very sparsely populated, too. So are the arid regions of Africa and Saudi-Arabia. According to my interpretation of this map.
every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth
Not Germany.
For once.
And for the time being.
Is that Tom Scott from the future?
Interesting.

markdown
(Pressed Shift+Return after every word.)
Not in markdown.
But it works in other word processors (like Word, libreoffice) that distinguish between line breaks and paragraph breaks.
Example: Type
Once upon a midnight dreary
While I was pondering, weak and weary
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore
To get:
Once upon a midnight dreary
While I was pondering, weak and weary
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore
(You can highlight the source code to find the extra spaces at the end of each line). Note that this is different from paragraphs, which add spacing between them:
Once upon a midnight dreary
While I was pondering, weak and weary
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore
Once upon a midnight dreary
While I was pondering, weak and weary
Over many a quiant and curious volume of forgotten lore
This is how markdown works. There is no way to disable that. This is an old convention from when text editors didn’t wrap lines automatically and enables you to write long paragraphs of text, breaking the lines as it makes sense to you, without creating a paragraph each time.
See the Lemmy help page on markdown or the Markdown Guide.
Even international waters (or, as I just googled, the “high seas”, as is the more appropriate term) have laws. Usually you are subject to the laws of the ship’s flag state.
Zonen-Ranslite im Stellwerk,
Durchgesagt werde dein Name.
Dein Zug komme, dein Wille geschehe
Wie im Sackbahnhof so auch auf der Strecke.
Unseren täglichen Anschluss gib uns heute
Und vergib uns unsere Entschädigungsanträge,
Wie auch wir vergeben den Störungen im Betriebsablauf.
Und führe uns nicht in den falschen Zugteil,
Sondern erlöse uns von den Verspätungen.
Denn dein ist das Signal, der Zugbegleiter
der Fahrdienstleiter und der Triebfahrzeugführer.
Tuuut.
20 seconds, Germany. Waiting while they checked if my name was on the list.
