Did they remove ass from the screenshot lmao
Oh no swearing on the internet we must censor .
It never made any sense to me that ass is a swear word. It means either a body part or a donkey, neither of which are particularly offensive unless the donkey is performing conservative stand-up comedy.
Aren't most swear words have a normal meaning just swearified? Like: poo - shit
Don't worry I'll add it back when I send it to my meme chats
A swear word? On the internet?! Scandalous!
There are 48 in Europe of those tripoints, seven of them with Germany.
The one with Belgium and the Netherlands has a park around it with a large maze, a watchtower and playgrounds.
I just noticed the map at the end is missing the tripoint Italy-Slovenia-Austria
three nations did not want to lose their soverign rights to equal thirds of this small lake. what is in the lake.
Water, probably.
I'd say maybe some kind of life forms too
And some rocks
They should put some strange women distributing swords, as a basis for their system of government.
A moist bint lobbing scimitars at people in the middle of jänkhä? Sign me up.
The lake is actually ~99% on Norwegian territory, it's just a tiny edge on the end that's given to Sweden and Finland. We once tried to give Finland a mountain peak though (for their 100th anniversary of independence from Russia), but the constitution states the kingdom is indivisible so the legal work was deemed too much. It would have been their highest peak if it went through.
Nothing is out there! All there is is a lake and birds and fish. ... And a wooden walkway. ... And a big ass cement block. But there's nothing else there. It's a complete void. The environment is perfectly safe!
And mosquitos, supposedly. A lot of mosquitos.
And the front that fell off.
Just made for a good border-point, really.
This is all imagined though as I refuse to recognize the sovereignty of Finland and Norway - long live the Great Swedish Empire
A bit of mud and a few rocks.
Stop censoring screenshots.
Take it up with ooooop.jpg
do your duty and add it back
This is what is possible when humans put aside our differences and work together!
Humans are weird. (And delightful!)
They really did!
If you slip, fall and hit your head and loose conciousness during that, in a way such that you are lying exactly on the border between two or three nations, to which hospital will you be brought? And how are insurances going to deal with this?
Seems like a non-issue to me. You'll go to whichever hospital is closest. If you're resident in one of the countries you'll be in EU/EEA and get the usual healthcare for residents of whichever country the hospital is in, if you're non-EU it'll depend on what travel insurance you have.
eh it's not like they're going to change what care they give you just because you don't have insurance, it'll just affect what happens afterwards.
No worries, any of these three countries will take you without quibbling over who pays what.
Isn't it supposed to be a pile of rocks there? (Treriksröset) Or is it this block that is that's named Treriksröset? But a "röse" is supposed to be a like of rocks?
Yes, this is how Treriksröset looks nowadays, someone decided to put a big-ass clump of concrete there.
From which side can you access it? Which nation owns the corner?
exact point is probably empty. so much of matter is just empty space.
pretty sure it's co-owned, and it seems to be accessed from the finnish side because that's where the solid ground is, though you have to pass through the swedish or norwegian border to get there.
So in essence: Finland's corner!
It would be awesome if it was a big monument to peace and cooperation
Damnit. Wish I had known when I drove from Norway into Finland for lunch with a beer, then returned.
Dang this meme is moldy
