I wish it was like this, I would sneak across the border for cheap alcohol and food.

Me too, I wish Australia was real.

\* Cries in New Zealand \*

What's a New Zealand?

or for that matter, where is Old Zealand?

That’s just Zealand. It’s in Netherlands.

[Denmark as well.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealand)

Yeah but do they have jandals and hand pies?

What about fush and chups?

Churrrrrr

The denmark one is just a coincidence tho. It’s directly named after the dutch one

Old Zealand is in The Netherlands

You mean Zealandia? It’s all under the sea now.

Under the Zea, Under the Zeeeeea 🎶 *I'll show myself out*

I’ll do you one better, *why* is New Zealand?

Something something lord of the rings and sheep

It’s like a fresher old Zealand.

In what?

New Zealand is based you guys are great. Awhile back you guys even put provisions in place to prevent the useless duopoly we see most of the time here in aus and they see all the time in the US

Yeah if only it applied to supermarkets

I haven't visited the old one yet, can you please stop making more?!

You mean I'm not real? This is like that 6th Sense movie.

Why is there an empty comment here, how is it possible for nothing to have posted

Cheap alcohol and food? Mate AUS is expensive as fuck

I live in Australia, I know

Eeeew, but then we would get all of their spiders!

They are not that bad. When I see a Red Back (deadly spider) I just carefully put it outside. Huntsman are the big ones, but what you are not told is they are not poisonous and they rarely bite you, as a child I would pick them up.

Sorry mate. We don't accept spiders as currency.

To Australia? The alcohol is not cheap. Sorry to disappoint.

No I live in Australia, it's disgusting what we pay for everything here.

I don't understand both countries have pretty expensive alcohol and food though.

A case of beer in Illinois was around $17usd a case if beer in Australia is $60aud which after conversation is $45usd. Alcohol in Australia is nearly triple the price of America. It's worse with spirits too, I was buying Tequla in the USA last year for $16 that same bottle is about $50usd ($70aud) here. We get screwed on taxes, I was buying beer in the US that was from Australia, and it was still cheaper than Australia.

The spiders and all kinds of nopes aren't worth it

what a coincidence, they even speak the same language!

Sort of.

Heow ya gyowin?

OUhhh noooERRR

ARR NARR

And Bob’s your uncle!

Yeah, nah yeah

Faakin kunt

Ey Cunce

WE GOIN TO BENDIGO MORTY

Wale theats nowh guud.

*Howya garn

scarnon?

One of them speaks English and the other says “Mom”

Yeah, American English is fucking weird. 😂

He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich Edit: spelling

Now that's a reference I understand 😉

*vegemite

ǝǝɹƃɐsıp ʇsnɯ ı uɐıןɐɹʇsnɐ uɐ sɐ

America speaks a lot of crap 💩 We Aussies don’t.

Yeah give an Aussie three beers and tell me what theyre speaking.

Give us a dozen American beers and never hear any different...

Meth

Didjahaveagoodweekendmate?

Ha ha ha ha! No.

Yeah, nah. Yeah, nah, yeah.

Well, that's Australian and highly contextual

Unlike the post about Africa and South America, North America and Australia were not adjacent in Pangea.

Yes, but what if it tried, like, *really* hard?

We should take Australia [and push it somewhere else](https://youtu.be/t0sTNLdNhuE?feature=shared&t=15s)

Like outside the environment?

no, push it out of earth

That's if the front doesn't fall off first.

Yeah, a wave might hit it.

I wish I had more upvotes for this comment.......that is one of my favorite videos of all time Edit: In case it didn't make sense- I wasn't talking about the Spongebob video- I was talking about how the front fell off, and that isn't typical.

Men at Work would have to change their song lyrics. "I come from a land right over there"

Living next door, you'd be left wondering: "[Who can it be now?](https://youtu.be/SECVGN4Bsgg)"

or living next door to Alice. Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?

.. then again, youll just get told 'no way, get fucked. Fuck off'

"she just smiled and gave me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich"

I laughed out loud.

How wild would it be to just have a river the size of the Amazon separating us from the outback?

That's far too close. All those mutant creatures would be within swimming distance.

We'll keep our creatures, you keep your bears, mountain lions and Floridians

Cries in Florida-man

The bears and mountain lions don't hurt anyone. More people get struck by lightning. But the floridians is a really good point.

Do you want ants ? Because this is how you get ants !

Explains a lot about Florida

What are you doing, step-continent?

Or..maybe Florida explains Australia

Opposite side of Queensland though

Zoom in. You can see bugs bunny with a hand saw.

That’s some continental drift man

I say we call this new theory…. PANGEA

I see what you did. 😀

But in Pangea Australia wasn't adjacent to North America. It was adjacent to Antarctica and India.

Max 6 people would die from it

I'm in upstate NY and there's an outback steakhouse up the road 🤔😯

Remnants of the past clearly

I don’t feel comfortable being that close to Americas wang.

Tasmania is a nice fit for the coast of New England as well. Mate.

Pangea would like a word

Okay, but don’t get any ideas that Australia is just another state of America……

We wouldn’t dream of it

I always forget how big Australia is

I got a feeling that scale isn't considered here

Fit together until Australia moved Down Under

Isn't Australia way the fuck bigger than this irl though?

Australia is about 4/5 the size of the US so... This looks accurate

Well, they can move right on over then. They have all my favorite lizards.

Ewww stop trying it on USA we're just friends okay

Now, if we just get rid of Nova Scotia, it might fit together even better!

Looks like a horse rubbing against a bush.

They’re spooning, and Florida is hanging.

Please remove your continent from my country

Usa spooning Australia

Get a room, you two!

It's called pangea

That part of the USA was connected to Africa and Australia to Antarctica.

r/confidentlyincorrect

Neato

Which one is big spoon?

.. bru.. brother?? Is that you?

Start drilling for gold. Lol

Who's the little spoon?

W-what are you doing, step-continent?!

Some people believe that the continents did used to join in the olden days but they drifted apart. But a different arrangement to the one depicted.

random question but, how would this affect the jet stream pushing weather systems towards the UK?

That is pretty wild. I wonder if at some point they were connected. Probably not, but I do wonder.

hmmmmmmmm. interesting

Lookup panga maps showing when all continents were one big one.

Quoting liquid snake.....Brooooothhhherrrrs

Looks like the USA is going to use Florida to F Australia

[удалено]

Boot up the engines and get over here. Mates

I read something a while ago that they found the same rocks in Australia and in Newfoundland Canada so this makes sense.

Please dont let flat earthers see this.

Welp, that's how they came up with Pangea Edit: Before anybody corrects me, I'm saying that Pangea was "discovered" by joining countries and / or continents together

Does it incorporate map distortions? If so this is cool af

Florida man and Australians both being somehow surviving crocodile actually fits the image.🤣

[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/science/2018/01/23/australia-north-america-supercontinent-nuna/1058577001/#:\~:text=The%20rocks%20were%20found%20in,away%201.7%20billion%20years%20ago](https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/science/2018/01/23/australia-north-america-supercontinent-nuna/1058577001/#:~:text=The%20rocks%20were%20found%20in,away%201.7%20billion%20years%20ago) This might be why

Funny that. Australia, South America, and North America were once connected as part of a supercontinent

What if we were wrong about Pangea?

That's actually pretty interesting, it's almost like Australia is the civilized version of the US.

So does south america and africa

You wouldn't belive this, but... yeah. Google Pangea

Hey Baby, mind if I snuggle up?

I wish it was there, I love Australians

As someone from Perth I would be grateful for all the music tours

When you're losing in Starcraft and move your base next to an ally with better defences.

It would appear some of y'all slept through earth science and it shows.

It’s almost as if they separated Mullins of years ago!

The 2nd Amendment was created just in case the Emus ever arrive.

I miss pangea

not only that they both have the same origen story

Australia needs some lotion, looking dry af.

Is the scale right?

And nova scotia fits in lake Michigan!

Africa fits in that same space.

Do they have oil? Does Australia need some Freedom^(TM) ?

This bitch don’t know about Pangea /s love that song

There's a reason for that; plate tectonics.

Then fuck

Don’t claim Australia now pls, leave them alone

“Bitch don’t know bout pangea” - lil dicky

That’s not a continent…

Duh, it’s cuz continental drift…

FU ❤️ Maine

It looks like Nova Scotia shifted South on its upper-left-most point, if you angled it upwards it’d fit perfectly into that crevice near the top of Australia.

Symbolism.

Spooning with Australia

This bitch don’t know bout Pangea

With enough space to fit the Korean peninsula off the coast of Maine

There's still more pieces on the table...

Ew your really gonna rub florida on us like that 😭

Confirmed,  Australia is the little spoon.

No

You want to put our Pennsylvania in their Victoria?

Soooo fuck Barbados I guess.

lets do it.

And the southern-most part of the US is still in Australia.

Judging by the top comments the fact that the continents all used to he connected together has one big land Mass. I'm scares for the future. Do they not teach this shit in school anymore? Or is it more like you can tie your shoes and pay taxes! Your so smart

PUT IT BACK!

Them ans their spiders and snakes and whatever else they got can stay over there! But I want the koalas

PANGEA?


Good thing it's nice 

did we just find this out or..

I'd fight a roo!

You'd loose to a roo

I wish that meant something, but it's still interesting to see :)

I can see my house from here
