This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If we're talking about tectonic plates, then:

Europe is part of Eurasia
Arabian peninsula, India, and far east Russia aren't part of it, but we'd probably include them as subcontintents

We'd end up with the following continents:

N. America (technically includes far east Russia) w/ Caribbean subcontinent
S. America
Eurasia w/ Indian and Arabian subcontintents
Africa w/ Somali subcontinent
Australia
Antarctica

Honestly, that would be a much more satisfactory definition than the current one, which seems to be "large landmass bigger than Greenland with logical separations when they're too big." What I really don't understand is when people say Europe and Asia are separate, but N. America and S. America are combined, that's logically inconsistent.
