@MattTheQuick where is the Antarctica option?
@yetzt @MattTheQuick as Neuschwabendland is the last German Reich territory and Germany is Europe, I would count Antarctica as Europe just for simplification.
🧐🚀
@yetzt @MattTheQuick Just kidding😉
Of course there is no Antarctica, as on our disk is surrounded by the great Ice Wall to keep out the Morgellons.😉
@yetzt @MattTheQuick y'all should be able to check in via the replies ;)
@MattTheQuick where’s Hell
@tootroll #Twitter is in San Francisco I think.

@MattTheQuick @tootroll

For a more hellish Hell I would go a little south, to Silicon Valley.

Even once made a pre-Musk tweet about that which I think is quite appropriate now: https://twitter.com/jaxroam/status/1199337230080233475

“@guardian Not exactly a city but Silicon Valley is mind-numbingly miserable (or miserably mind-numbing). If some trillionaire one day decided to create Hell, #SiliconValley would be the prototype.”

Twitter
@MattTheQuick @tootroll Either California, Texas, or Florida. Either way, in America!
@tootroll @MattTheQuick Just look around you, you are standing in the middle of it.
@MattTheQuick Hmm I just got a notification that you edited a post. How strange given I wasn't a follower. Learning new things about the site every minute haha
@AguiarPhys yeah. Edited one of the options on the first poll and all hell broke loose. So just decided it was easier to delete the poll and start over.
@MattTheQuick Q: Do you mean "Where is the server I'm on" or "Where am I located"?
@SebastiaanHekman You. Where are you right now?
@MattTheQuick @SebastiaanHekman I'm in Australia but it isn't an option. No wonder TP called it 'The Lost Continent.'
@SebastiaanHekman @MattTheQuick I assumed where I'm at, not server. Although in my case one and the same
@MattTheQuick
I know the quiz isn't done yet but it definitely feels less US-centric here which is nice imo.
@MattTheQuick
I chose Europe because I'll always be European. Even though England took us out the EU. Most of my friends are in Spain, Germany, Portugal and Scotland. No war, no borders
@msocsci @MattTheQuick UK is still geographically in Europe, even though it's not in the EU anymore.
@cpamoa @MattTheQuick
Yes we know. The point is my country was forced out of the EU by another country despite voting overwhelmingly to stay in. My right to stay, work and travel in Europe was made much harder and we are losing many of the laws that made life much better.
Hopefully we will be allowed to rejoin if we become independent next year.
@msocsci @MattTheQuick ah yeah Mark. UK *is* in Europe just no longer in the EU 😁😁
@MattTheQuick "75% Europe" - Musk go home 🇪🇺 :erogun:
@MattTheQuick no Australasia/Oceania? Australia and New Zealand erasure!

@cameronpat @MattTheQuick

I identified as Asia/Pacific. There's a huge Pacific Ocean somewhere close by.

@cameronpat @MattTheQuick North & South America are separate continents. Central America & Caribbean? Iceland? 🤔
@JPK_elmediat @cameronpat I only get 4 choices in a poll.
@MattTheQuick @cameronpat Sorry. 😄 The #Polllimit is a good example of how #MassMedia #CodesandConventions can unintentionally shape the #message, convey #values, #belief, and #ideology ( #Biases ). #MediaLiteracy
Take care. The poll results will be interesting. 🙂 👍
@cameronpat based my reasoning on this.

@MattTheQuick @cameronpat

Shades of DVD-R vs DVD+R. Asia-Pacific would be the parts of Asia (and Oceania) that borders the Pacific, whole Asia+Pacific would be either Asia or Pacific.

The "/" in Asia/Pacific is ambiguous, but given the options I think it is clear Asia & Oceania (&Zealandia) is meant, not "the part of Asia in the Pacific".

@cameronpat @MattTheQuick voted Asia/Pacific but I get where you’re coming from. When someone says “You’re from Asia/Pacific?” I don’t think ‘drinking XXXX tinnies in the back of my mates commy doing a maccas run.’ or whatever New Zealanders do in their free time (taking jewellery to mount doom if historically accurate documentaries are to be believed.)
@MattTheQuick
I bet some of the idiotic wing of Brexiteers wouldn't want to click Europe for UK. Hopefully we have left them back on Twitter
@MattTheQuick
I'm in the UK but it's interesting to see that it's mostly Europeans.
@MattTheQuick
Is it where is your instance server based or where we are? With this instance Europe fits for both but I don't know where my other accounts' instantly are based (home.social and neurodifferent.me)
@MattTheQuick Asia and Africa have lots of potential for more link ups.
@MattTheQuick does occur to me that there is a bias built into this poll due to the fact it is written in English…

@MattTheQuick

We are White and Nerdy.

@MattTheQuick Thanks to Brexit I'm not sure anymore xD
@ikey @MattTheQuick Brexit didn’t change Geography, you’re still in Europe.
@wayneboone @MattTheQuick I know, tis a joke.
@ikey @MattTheQuick I guessed tbh 😉 and congrats on being the first person to reply to one of my toots 🏆
@MattTheQuick Looking at the poll results, I just want to note that one of the largest instances on instances.social is located in japan. I assume that the Western and Japanese instances are just not strongly connected.
@romeo right. But it could get there with a boost from the right account.
