I deserve this, even promised to remember last time

Fun fact, that traverse gap separates the red river of the north from the MINNESOTA river - which eventually drains into the Mississippi. The Mississippi starts at Lake Itasca.

Fun fact #2, the Minnesota/Mississippi drains into the Atlantic via the Gulf, but the red river eventually drains into the Arctic Ocean via the Hudson Bay!

I wonder if they were connected, hypothetically, if the Hudson would drain into the Caribbean or the other way around. The North American plains bisect the entire continent so it's feasible; I just don't know if the two bodies of water are at the same elevation, and due to gravitational effects, etc, large bodies of water aren't always at sea level.

Yeah, I'm wounded by the commission omission of Cape Breton. But I think it's just that there's nothing dubious about our islands.

Edit: Sausage fingers and rogue autocorrect.

As a Florida-born Texan of partial Newfoundlander heritage, I'm... sort of nonplussed?

Agree with the other poster though. Nothing dubious about Newfoundland's island status.

Don’t worry, give it 50 years and the waters will rise enough to make it navigable

"XKCD is usually more astute. The lack of the Colorado River, and The Grand Canyon, is a glaring omission."

Does the Colorado cut off a land mass? I don't think the Colorado even reaches the sea anymore, let alone psuesocleave apart a part of the continent.

That was a fun last sentence to say.

Or else what 😠

Who is our in this case
