Other countries like China and Colombia have partial coverage in some regions.
The Greenland and Antartica antipodes don't really count imo
Why not though? I could tunnel to antarctica throigh greenland.
Definitely, but it's near the poles, so I find it more obvious than eye-opening. It'd be like saying you could tunnel through the north pole to get to the south pole. It's true, but it's not interesting.
"It's true, but too obvious so it doesn't count."
Yep, well quoted. To learn something, it has to be something you didn't already know.
Then you said it wrong.
What you said was 'only countries' not 'only countries that weren't obvious to me'.
"Today I, the author of this post, Learned" seems implicit to me, but I suppose we all make our own definitions of the acronym
That is a separate thing from what you literally wrote:
