Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.

Also Brooklyn is named after Breukelen. Vancouver was named after Van Coevorden. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman.
It’s almost as if the Netherlands used to be relevant in world exploration

This is closer in spelling: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealand 😂

It’s a province in the Netherlands. It’s only \ few hundred km from legoland in Denmark - the dude should get out more - I bet he only goes to the central bit of Old Amsterdam.

“Trust you? You don’t even know where New Zealand is.”
“You can dance your way there from Old Zealand…”

“…that’s China.”
“YOU’RE China!”
PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee 2 years ago
That’s an outrageous accusation.

Underwater actually. Zealandia did exist
Vinny_93@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Zeeland still exists, it’s between Zuid-Holland and Belgium

stop making up country names, funny man.
milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Zealandia is not old Zealand… The name comes from a province in the Netherlands.

So named by famed Dutch explorer Abel Tasman
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_Tasman
Who on his most famous voyage, mapped the Solomon Islands, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand and Tasmania while managing to completely miss continental Australia.

We know where it is and it’s basically on all world maps - it’s the New Zealand that keeps disappearing from them.

there is actually an indie game in which old zealand exists, it’s called nuclear drifter and is a bit like the first fallout games, it’s pretty fun and you should check it out on steam, it’s even free I think
