It's right there in the name: Polish
-ish
You joke about it like your nation is never threatened to be nuked by Elon Musk. Somehow that would create atmosphere. There are better ways, like just light up some candles, man.
What's the deal with Nazis attacking poles?
It’s unrelated. Poland has a long history of keeping taxes so low that we can’t afford to keep running a proper country and then we get invaded and give up after couple of days of fighting.
I sometimes hypothesise that the kind of Poles that is able to run Poland see that it’s a futile effort and then approximately once per century that kind of Poles goes to Western Europe or America to help with their wars so at least their lives don’t suck as much. Depressing thought but about as depressing as living in Poland.
The poles aren't points at the edge of the map. The north pole is the entire top edge of the map and the south pole is the bottom edge.
Technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Considering the dots are on the edge, and the entire edge being one point because of globe. This post is still technically correct.
We should rename the bird to türkiye.
Actually, it's called the East-pole.
Needs more JPEG.
Leave the poles alone, despite lacking year round snow, they ship my stuff from their e-shops fast and reliably.
Real poles? Don’t make me go on a tirade about how our geographical conventions are mostly simplifications and a concept as simple as a pole can become quite complicated to define.
That's dumb
