I'm unreasonably upset you added a "u" to iqeland.

IDELAND: Where people go to bitch about visual studio.

Also they have very dated hard drives.

In german the letters are even closer.

Only one letter further.

In Ireland it's Éire, while Iceland is An Íoslainn, so it doesn't really work 😕

Not in Dutch however. There it's IJsland and Ierland. You'll have to go through several more character shufflings to make it.

I wanted to pedantically correct you about the a / an.. but then realised you got me.

[-] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Let's also go the other way:

Ibeland

If you go east enough eventually you hit Ikealand.

By a continuation of this logic Izeland mislabeled on my map as "Spain"

Onward, men! Full sails to the horizon! On my oath, we'll make it to Ikeland by morning!

Oh, there will be Ikes as far as the eye can see, I tell you! Tall Ikes, short Ikes, God-fearing Ikes! Our coffers will overflow with the abundance of Ikes!

You who would doubt me, who would claim the impossibility of such a paradise, you cowards who hide from ambition and surround yourselves with the petty offerings of Steve Island or David Cove, why you would not know how to handle the Ikes of Ikeland!

But I am a man of greater mettle, and I will know this new land.

Raise the anchor. The Ikes await.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I like Ike.

We're gonna need to build up speed for 12 hours for this one
