Dang this meme is moldy

Damnit. Wish I had known when I drove from Norway into Finland for lunch with a beer, then returned.

From which side can you access it? Which nation owns the corner?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

pretty sure it's co-owned, and it seems to be accessed from the finnish side because that's where the solid ground is, though you have to pass through the swedish or norwegian border to get there.

So in essence: Finland's corner!

exact point is probably empty. so much of matter is just empty space.

They really did!

If you slip, fall and hit your head and loose conciousness during that, in a way such that you are lying exactly on the border between two or three nations, to which hospital will you be brought? And how are insurances going to deal with this?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

No worries, any of these three countries will take you without quibbling over who pays what.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Seems like a non-issue to me. You'll go to whichever hospital is closest. If you're resident in one of the countries you'll be in EU/EEA and get the usual healthcare for residents of whichever country the hospital is in, if you're non-EU it'll depend on what travel insurance you have.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

eh it's not like they're going to change what care they give you just because you don't have insurance, it'll just affect what happens afterwards.

Shout out to the four corners in the Navajo nation. The world's most geographicaly exciting empty field!

Humans are weird. (And delightful!)

There are 48 in Europe of those tripoints, seven of them with Germany.

The one with Belgium and the Netherlands has a park around it with a large maze, a watchtower and playgrounds.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

I just noticed the map at the end is missing the tripoint Italy-Slovenia-Austria
