For my fellow nerds who are wondering for realsies, you can 512 Polands in the Pacific ocean (although you’d probably have to chop up a few to get them to fit neatly)
Cool. Now all of us fellow nerds are obsessing over the fact that it’s a perfect power of two.
A coastline may be infinitely long (coastline paradox) but the area of the ocean is not infinitely large.
Just think about it this way: go close to the coastline while still being 100% certain you are on land. No matter how precise (and therefore long) you measure the coastline, the area of the ocean can never be larger than the area inside of your 100% on land line.
Puts up the first terrible map for the lols, somebody inevitably complains (something like this)
This is a terrible map, the Pacific Ocean can hold more than 16 Polands!
(whoosh)
OP puts up the second map to reinforce that this is a gag.
Plus, the 17th Poland was “made room for” by removing New Zealand, a mapping error so common there’s a dedicated sub for it.
What did they do to new zealand? Is it safe somewhere or should I fear for the worst?
Imagine 16 Polands. Heck, imagine 17 Polands
