You’d run out of new oceans really fast.

9/11 and Global warming pretty much ruined that. We’ll never have another ocean.

How did 9/11 ruin new oceans?!

u/BadAndNationwide Aug 23 '24

We haven’t had a new ocean since.

Technically the truth

I mean look a pre 2001 map and a current map. Check out the oceans specifically. Exactly the same amount. It has to be a map of the whole world though. It can’t be like a localized map of say Jackson Hole, Wyoming or Vero Beach, Florida. Those maps won’t tell the whole story.

Disturbing if true. Someone should look into that.

🤣 “where are the oceans going? Is there one hiding in your backyard? Tonight at 11”

Just don't Google Jackson's Hole.

Big mistake.

Looked into it.

Technically the Southern Ocean was officially recognized by The National Geographic Society, in June 2021.

u/Noble_Flatulence Aug 24 '24

The real question then is who officially recognized the National Geographic Society.

I just looked this up and he’s actually right, guys. Really makes you think about how much we lost because of 9/11. Never getting that back.

u/AgreeablePrize Aug 23 '24

I also haven't been able to play the piano since 9/11

u/Jescro Aug 23 '24

Tragic, just like bin laden wanted. Thank god we captured and hung Sadam right away and we had Americas Mayor Giuliani to help us through it. Never forget ✊

u/Hellacidfire Aug 24 '24

Where you able to play the piano before?

Got a link? I can’t find it.

You know what's really funny about this is that the last officially named ocean was on June 14, 2000 by the International Hydrographic Organization. As such, if you look at maps pre-9/11 they're pretty much all going to exclude the "Southern Ocean" while maps after 9/11 are more likely to include it.

The details are far more complex:

Frank Ocean?

u/Maximum-Tune9291 Aug 23 '24

The answer to that is kept hidden by Big Ocean.

u/AstroBearGaming Aug 24 '24

Poseidon never forgot. He's been mocking Zeus relentlessly since for losing control of the skies and so hasn't had the time to create any more oceans.

2

u/TheVog Aug 24 '24

Not if Big Ocean has something to say about it.

u/No_Banana_581 Aug 23 '24

That’s ok, I’ll make my rounds in different spots in each ocean from different beaches. I’ll do lakes and rivers too lol
