DLC18 discussion and predictions

Well, I actually learned at school that Australia is both the continent and the country. So the claim isn't that far-fetched, it depends on where you come from and how old you are. For example, I also learned that Pluto is a planet. I've been out of school for 21 years now. So yes 🤷‍♀️
Sure, but the claim was that NZ is in Australia. That's what's being challenged.
 
Depending on where you are from, Australia can indeed refer to a continent but this one only includes Western Papua, Papua New Guinea, Tasmania, Australia itself (as a country) and a few small islands. It doesn't include New Zealand :) New Zealand is part of Oceania. I invite people that come from this part of the world to correct me if I'm wrong.

You speak French. Are you from France or from another French speaking country? Because I'm from the French part of Belgium and I've never heard someone say that Australia is a continent here. And I'm pretty sure that in France they also use the word Oceania to talk about the continent.

Maybe this is another potential sign for me? As to the whole want and need thing, I want a duck. I specifically very much want any of the whistling duck species. I usually say I need them because to the type of builds I like to make I could really use some waterfowl to balance it out. I also think they could balance out certain roster aspects of the game that aren’t filled well at all.

I also need whistling ducks as I am hooked up to an IV Drip of Copium, and the cure I need for my sickness is a duck!

But it's about the continent. When I learned that Australia is the continent, then NZ is in Australia. NZ is not its own continent and it doesn't belong to Asia either. That's what I was getting at, Australia can be both, the country and the continent.
Maybe he actually meant it that way, maybe not. In any case, it is not entirely wrong.
I also only learned here that the whole thing is called Oceania. I was very confused when I read it on the map or under the animals.

I started speaking english when i was 8, still think New Zealand is part of the CONTINENT of austrailia.
You already have been corrected. Several times. What you THINK is irrelevant, there are fact at place and ignoring them is just disrespectful.

On an on topic note: I assume we are past the update time for today, but would love to be wrong.

Australia can refer to both a country and a continent, encompassing some of its smaller and closer islands.

Australia, as a continent, does not (and never does) include New Zealand.

It is never correct to say that NZ is in or part of Australia.

Not meaning to sound harsh in any of my messages, just stating the facts.

Technically, I guess there's still a chance for a reveal at the top of the next hour but that feels pretty unlikely. They generally announce earlier in the day (I think there's one exception).

Then again, they haven't tweeted anything in three days... Which is similar to what happened with Barnyard (albeit, that was on a Monday) so who knows?

I’m choosing not to look into it to much, I remember pre barnyard how they haven’t posted anything in over a week. Then they posted something pretty basic.

The Australian Wood Ducks have ducklings at the moment too, though it is spring here.

Guess I'm outta the meme game because I can't upload any media for some reason 😅
I haven't been able to for a while, I've been putting stuff on my old Deviantart.
