Geography in trivia

I love geography. I love it when my friends know the capital to some country I have not thought about since my 8th grade geography bee. An obscure river? Yes, please. The tallest/shallowest point in a geographic region? Sure. It is broad enough where the difficulty can scale as low or as high as needed. It's my favorite category!

so many bodies Of water

I recently learned about the many types of water that exist, because I didn‘t know the difference. Unfortunately I cannot let you in on the same excitement to learn about them, because I am German and can‘t be bothered to translate them to English. I especially like „Weiher“ which I only recently learned existed. If you speak German, enjoy: - -Teich. Ein von Menschen künstlich angelegtes Stück Wasser. - -Stausee. Ebenfalls künstlich von Menschen angelegt. Groß. Der Wasserstand lässt sich kontrollieren. Hat eine große Talsperre (Staumauer). - -Pfütze. Kommt vom Regen. - -Tümpel. So etwas wie eine große Pfütze, jedoch füllt sie sich wieder, sollte sie mal austrocknen. - -Weiher. Tiefer als ein Tümpel und trocknet meist nicht aus. - -See. Großes Stillgewässer. - -Meer. Bekannt. Sehr groß.

hard to pick one but here are some i like

Lake Erie contains 2% of the Great Lakes' water but 50% of the fish, and Lake Superior 50% of the Great Lakes' water but 2% of the fish The deepest point of Lake Erie is a higher altitude than the surface of Lake Ontario (I promise they aren't all about lakes) At one point in 2008 the tallest woman in the world and the oldest person in the world lived in the same building in Indiana "Oxy" is Greek for smart, meaning the word oxymoron is an oxymoron Nobody knows what the p in pH stands for

I LOVE BEING ON THE HIGHWAY

DELETE TIKTOK AND BAN YOURSELF FROM REELS

at least, thats what im doing right now. i made excuses to stay on them for so long because they kept me up with whats happening in the world, exposed me to really cool sfuff and whatever. even gave myself a timer on tiktok so i couldnt be on for more than thirty minutes, but two days ago i got fed up and just deleted it. im tired of having a background to all my activities so to speak, i want things to be surrounded by void instead so i can actually feel BORED again and thus partake in more activities and feel fulfilled. all this is to say it may also help if you write down or journal about why you want to be off your phone lol, i made the decision to delete my most used app because i had too much time to think about it during a long class and realized its not making my life any better. Sorry for the rant, i have lowkey also just been wanting to talk about this..

Bring patios back!! also, there's nothing better than being dead hungry in the middle of a hike and sitting down to demolish a shitty sandwich, which in that moment is the best thing you have ever tasted. the dirt makes it taste better not joking

EATING A MEAL OUTSIDE

my favourite time of day is when it’s close to sunset, the birds are chirping, everything’s settling down for the evening, and you’re just enjoying a little meal with your doggo (who’s clearly just here in hopes you give him food.)
