british isles should be classified as a continent

[comfortably dumb]

how is that area different than australia & oceania

also, except meeting the most commonly cited geographical criterium (large mass of land separated by water), it's culturally distinct and not really a genuine european country

I agree. It needs its own separate continent to signify the subhumanity

you can literally see france from dover you spanner- people swim it with some training


also to be pendantic UK and france/belgium/netherlands are sepersted by a sea not an ocean, theres no oceanic crust unless you go west from conrwall. Actul oceans are many miles deep, whereas the channel is only about 50-100m metres deep and used to be land in prehistoric times (google doggerland)

Then any moderately sized island would be a continent. Where do you draw the line?

Honestly, it's an arbitrary thing. It's pretty bullshit tbh.
