Poll The Continental Divide... Where you at homie? (225 votes)

Aisa 2%
Africa 0%
North America 54%
South America 0%
Antartica 0%
Europe 38%
Australia 5%

I am curious as to the geographical make-up of Duders. Where do y'all live? I guess I have it in my head that the vast majority of Duders are in the Americas, with the majority of what's left living in Europe.

I find it interesting that after 18 votes it is still evenly split between North America and Europe.

Both Asia and Antarctica are, and dude wrote Australia, which is a country, not a continent. Must be drunk.

I am indeed slightly drunk. And Australia is indeed a continent.

Australia is both.

I'm in Canada. New Brunswick to be precise. NA will get the most votes, but I know there is a large European section on the site. It's currently the middle of the night there though so I doubt it will show up in the polls atm. Maybe try bumping it tomorrow morning if it gets buried to give it a fair shot of evening out.

Well it's midnight in Ireland, so if I know the average GB user, which I assume is exactly the same as me in every way, they should all still be awake and not going to sleep until the sun comes up.

That is a way cooler name. Sounds like a Final Fantasy zone.

I think that was I was taught too, though I have heard Australia mentioned as the name of the continent too.

I thought Oceania was more of a regional thing, including Australia, New Zealand, melanesia, and a lot of the Pacific islands.

There was once a movement to call the continent Meganesia, which is fucking awesome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceania "The term is often used more specifically to denote a continent comprising Australia and proximate islands".

Calling Australia a continent is obviously correct, but it seems like Oceania can be used as well?

Hell, I am just going with that from now on. I don't even live in Meganesia.

Cows from Meganesia could give you Milk of Meganesia.

At various points in the last few years, there indeed have been a few Giant Bomb fans in Antarctica so don't be fooled by that 0%. Still though, I'd love to hear if the site has any fans in Africa. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Egypt and South Africa has at least a few.

Australia is not a continent, Oceania is. Australia is a country in Oceania.

The facts differ my friends! Oceania vs Australia is the last true beef.

I'm in the United Arab Emirates, which I believe is in Asia. Last year I took a direct flight from Dubai to LA in economy class, which was grrrrreat.

Indeed. When I went to elementary school in the US I was taught to that the continent was simply called Australia, and when I attended high school ("college") in New Zealand I learned that they refer to the region as Oceania. Both are correct, it's just regional semantics.
