    If Belgium were to increase its border at a rate of 7 feet per year. Tokyo would be a part of Belgium in the year 4,904,878 give or take a decade or two.

    They did that with Germany to. If you look to the northern part of the border between Germany and Belgium (Roetgen to Monschau) you find that Belgium has occupied a bicycle path that is going thru Germany. Everybody knows that Belgium has the better cyclists (just think about Eddy Merckx), so they just took the bike path and a few meters to each side. The worst thing is, that even Google got fooled and the steal made it into the maps.

    Twitter would be better off flagging mean tweets so the person reading them knows in advance that it’s going to be a mean tweet. People who write mean tweets aren’t accidentally writing mean things. They don’t need extra time to decide if they really want to be mean or not.

    Responding to @Trevor Noah’s pause on what Belgium is known for (min 2:30). To name a few of the more positive aspects: chocolate, fries and beer, for hosting Tomorrowland and Rock Werchter, being a trilingual country, the invention of the saxophone, having the headquarters of the European Commission, European Parliament, European Union, NATO, the birth of the Smurfs, Magritte and Audrey Hepburn. And some less positive aspects: peeing statues, record-breaking political gridlock, bad weather, lots of strikes etc. Oh, next time you come back to Belgium, happy to provide some content on Belgium for your Daily Show. Cheers!

    Well I did it. From Krewinkel, Belgium (the eastern most town in Belgium) to Tokyo is 5,849 miles. [30,882,720 feet] at 7 feet gained per year. It would take 4,411,817.142 years for Tokyo to become part of Belgium.

    I quit Twitter after about 7-8 years because it’s no fun anymore. I met some friends on there who I went on to meet in real life, but now it’s just a platform for nasty replies/bots and a popularity contest of viral tweets and asking for “donations”. Now I saw they added a “Tip Jar” feature. My life is better now that I’m not worried about how many followers and if I’d wake up to a bunch of random/bot replies.

    People that think Facebook and Twitter are trust-worthy and reliable news sources require sympathy.

    Misinformation and conspiracies from Fox, Sky, Parler, NewsMax and OANN also need public fact checking.

    As a response to this blatant movement by the Belgians, the French sent their army to the outpost. Since there was no outpost, they had to build one and found a stone that they could lay down as the foundation. Turns out, that solved the problem immediately so everybody went back home.

    Talking about moving border markers, that’s what a Chilean company did in their frontier to use the water that was in Bolivian territory
    and as far as I know, it’s not the 1st time things like that happen with those border markers as well as there’s this conflict with the water of Silala’s aquifer, both sides have their arguments, Bolivia says it’s a spring, while Chile argues it’s a natural river, but, by the look of it, an artificial canal was build to redirect it to the side of Chile, that water benefits the north of Chile, which for the most part it’s a desert and miner companies also got benefits from Silala’s water.
