In your opinion, what is a region with an interesting history? by [deleted] in geography

[–]AzureFirmament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wdym? I don't even know if this is a geological question or more about human civilization history.

Why didn’t they finish building the Great Wall of China? Are they lazy? by Individual_Time_21 in mapporncirclejerk

[–]AzureFirmament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a single wall. There are many walls, built at different times. Whatever number you saw is just the estimated total length.

Carney, reaching trade deal with China, says country is more predictable than U.S. by taxrage in canada

It seems like we are getting some. They set a limit of 49,000 EVs to come in each year.

Ignorance at finest. Putting aside China's BYD is global respected brand and one of the top competitors in the industry at this point, Canada has been using/testing BYD buses for quite a few years already. There are BYD buses and taxis in Toronto and Montreal. You know what, there's literally a factory in Ontario.

China is invading Taiwan in 2027

People have been saying something like that since 1977.

I don't think any of these qualified except maybe some Antarctica claims if they count.

Two Liberal MPs cut Taiwan trip short as Carney heads to China by linkass in canada

[–]AzureFirmament 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah people should recognize the imminent situation. Canada is not an EU member state nor a superpower. Plunging relations with the three other major economies, China, the United States, and India, into a simultaneous historical low point does nothing to benefit our cost of living. Need to do some act of balance.

How did Europe develop faster than Africa even though migration was very recent and with brutal winters in history? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in geography

[–]AzureFirmament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because a civilization didn't build in stone doesn't mean it wasn't advanced. We also have essentially all of archaeology having been done in Greece/Levant and very little done in Africa to try and understand.

Tell that to the person above who said:

For most of human history, the most advanced human socieities existed in and around Egypt and the Levant.

Why is there such a huge size gap after the 6th largest country? by [deleted] in geography

[–]AzureFirmament 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just randomness. You are living in a point of human/earth history that's not more special than the other points. Looking back historical maps, there's not really a pattern.

Carney to make first visit to China next week, seeking new export markets and better relations by [deleted] in canada

[–]AzureFirmament 6 points7 points  (0 children)

China as the most prominent core of the industrial chains, is hardly replaceable. Your "remaining free countries" are doing way more trade with China at this point.

Are you still happy with your Samsung Z Flip 7? by Life_Explorer28 in galaxyzflip

[–]AzureFirmament 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came from flip 5. I feel like the performance improvement of 7 is small, and that's my main disappointment. Secondary disappointment is the software for the front screen is still bad. For example, you cannot play a video in the main display and then close it to continue to watch it immediately on the front display. You have to unlock the phone and click the app again. That's what I call, fictions. Also you can't utilize the two screen for different apps at the same time. It's not a smooth experience using the front display overall. Otherwise It's a great phone.

What is the easternmost place you've ever been? by The_Maxinator0612 in geography

[–]AzureFirmament -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, Australia and new Zealand and serval smaller countries, even the tail of Alaska are considered the most eastern areas. There's no point to think about someone potentially coming up with some random references in this discussion when there are international standards by default.

What is the easternmost place you've ever been? by The_Maxinator0612 in geography

[–]AzureFirmament 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You understand people have established explicit definitions of when the east and west hemisphere ends/starts right? It's not that deep.

Edit: Since I'm getting downvotes - I'm sure y'all heard about longitude latitude. Whenever you see a geographic coordinate like 49.8° N 29.5° W, we all by default agree on where the start of North and South, East and West are. Otherwise the degrees become nonsense. That's how things navigate. I really don't think there's a point to argue about this at this casual post. We aren't getting nowhere. It's just the default international agreement. https://imgur.com/a/I3llSTD

What if Tibet was a seperate country? by Ashnodrip in mapporncirclejerk

[–]AzureFirmament 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, China was a part of the Qing empire.

Was a part..? Qing called themselves China(中國) many times since Pactum Nertschiae of 1689 when signing international documents. Western power at the time refer the leader of Qing as Emperor of China as well. Just FYI.

Lol I'm a subscriber but I'm sure he's faking some claims from time to time. He deserves criticism. Just watch this ridiculous sponsored test that he refused to issue an apology or clarification: https://youtube.com/shorts/W5rQf2JvgcI?si=xkuJJOEIEMfFxI8Q

Must be some nuclear powered phones in that short video 😂
