This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Europe is bigger than the US though.

Europe: 3,930,000 sq mi

The US: 3,794,100 sq mi

You're comparing continents and countries.

North America is over twice as large. So yes, from anyone on this side of the pond it's tiny.

Yeah Europe is a bunch of counties and an entire continent. United States is just 1 country and half a continent

Not talking shit at all, I love how small Europe is. A few hours in a train and you're in a brand new culture with a brand new language
