Did they remove ass from the screenshot lmao
Oh no swearing on the internet we must censor .
It never made any sense to me that ass is a swear word. It means either a body part or a donkey, neither of which are particularly offensive unless the donkey is performing conservative stand-up comedy.
Aren't most swear words have a normal meaning just swearified? Like: poo - shit
Don't worry I'll add it back when I send it to my meme chats
A swear word? On the internet?! Scandalous!
Blink-182 said it best;
"Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat"
Moving words to be sure
The American mind cannot even comprehend a border between 3 countries being so open.
Hey we've got Four Corners!
Isn't that between 4 states though? Rather than 4 countries lol still super cool though
Don't worry I'm sure they'll come up with tight immigration between states eventually
Just speed run getting a felony, grab a kid and run around 4 corners to get the kidnapping over state lines achievement.
Have you seen the difference in laws between US states!?
Yeah, but relatively large states with a combined population of nearly 20m.
It's the Google map travel distance thing all over again
Which is on an indian reservation, and requires an entrance fee to go look at it.
Is that new? I definitely didn't pay to go to it- a little over 10 years ago
There are 48 in Europe of those tripoints, seven of them with Germany.
The one with Belgium and the Netherlands has a park around it with a large maze, a watchtower and playgrounds.
I just noticed the map at the end is missing the tripoint Italy-Slovenia-Austria
three nations did not want to lose their soverign rights to equal thirds of this small lake. what is in the lake.
Water, probably.
They should put some strange women distributing swords, as a basis for their system of government.
A moist bint lobbing scimitars at people in the middle of jänkhä? Sign me up.
The lake is actually ~99% on Norwegian territory, it's just a tiny edge on the end that's given to Sweden and Finland. We once tried to give Finland a mountain peak though (for their 100th anniversary of independence from Russia), but the constitution states the kingdom is indivisible so the legal work was deemed too much. It would have been their highest peak if it went through.
Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. ... And a wooden walkway. ... And a big ass cement block. But there's nothing else there. It's a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!
Just made for a good border-point, really.
This is all imagined though as I refuse to recognize the sovereignty of Finland and Norway - long live the Great Swedish Empire
This is what is possible when humans put aside our differences and work together!
Shout out to the four corners in the Navajo nation. The world's most geographicaly exciting empty field!
Humans are weird. (And delightful!)
If you slip, fall and hit your head and loose conciousness during that, in a way such that you are lying exactly on the border between two or three nations, to which hospital will you be brought? And how are insurances going to deal with this?
Seems like a non-issue to me. You'll go to whichever hospital is closest. If you're resident in one of the countries you'll be in EU/EEA and get the usual healthcare for residents of whichever country the hospital is in, if you're non-EU it'll depend on what travel insurance you have.
No worries, any of these three countries will take you without quibbling over who pays what.
They really did!
Isn't it supposed to be a pile of rocks there? (Treriksröset) Or is it this block that is that's named Treriksröset? But a "röse" is supposed to be a like of rocks?
Cement is kind of a big pile of rocks if you think about it. And yes, that is Treriksröset.
From which side can you access it? Which nation owns the corner?
exact point is probably empty. so much of matter is just empty space.
It would be awesome if it was a big monument to peace and cooperation
