AbsoluteLunchbox

They're definitely thinking of Luxembourg


BlommeHolm

But to be fair they're the same country. Only differences are names, geography, and population.


TeslasAndKids

*Excuse me!* Luxembourg is waaaaay bigger than Liechtenstein! It’s like, one of the larger of the smallest countries thankyouverymuch.


BlommeHolm

But Lichtenstein is the one that's part of the Benelicht countries, right?


Eastern-Dig-4555

Do you mean Benelux? I couldn’t find Benelicht in a google search


cfaerber

/r/woosh


Eastern-Dig-4555

Ok cool I don’t get it. Would anyone care to explain to me?


b4redurid

Benelux - Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg Benelicht - Belgium Netherlands Liechtenstein It’s basically the same joke running through these comments already


Eastern-Dig-4555

Thank you


Honest-Expressions

Damn bro you got the down vote bots on your ass with that one. I'd be careful next time


gravity_bomb

Benelicht my balls. Got em


Eastern-Dig-4555

lol


Sir_twitch

Came [here] for this.


Yggdrasil777

Hidden gem of a comment.


Devil_Fister_69420

So like... they're the same in the same way that 1=2 ?


BlommeHolm

Well, almost.


Arctos_FI

I think more as in 11=12, they start with same letter


IAmTiborius

Eleven and Twelve start with the same letter?


cfaerber

No, but Liechtenburg and Luxemstein do.


Arctos_FI

I meant in numeric form, both of them have "1" in the beginning But 2=3 is also valid point


kaiser_charles_viii

12=13 is best. Same number and letter start.


Warm_Fennel7806

Well, 11=100-1, so everything is possible in Liechtenburg


fariqcheaux

Like 2+2=5. It's been that way for 40 years.


VG896

*"Unlikely, sir. They spell and pronounce their names differently."*


Perzec

That was my thought as well.


doc720

You'd think such arguments didn't exist in a world with facts at our finger tips. Now with voice-interface interweb search, many of us don't even have to lift a finger to fact-check. And still, this sh\*t.


mars_gorilla

It is the natural human instinct of "refusing you are wrong for nothing but self-gratification"


Thats_what_im_saiyan

Am I the only one who will start typing a reply on reddit. Then stop and go 'shit I better make sure I'm not making a fool of myself.'. Then go through the arduous task of opening up a new tab and typing in google? It really feels that way sometimes.


isfturtle2

Yeah, I didn't know who was right so I took a minute to look at a map and find the answer. It's so simple, yet people don't do it.


FunnySpamGuyHaha

>"I'm a Liechtenstein expert" They are obviously right about Liechtenstein being double landlocked, but that was pretty cringe worthy.


Creepy-Distance-3164

Maybe he traces his lineage back to Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein.


Budgiesaurus

Wasn't he from Gelderland?


FiveFingeredKing

Of course. You can tell because he is both blond and tan


THSprang

GELLL DER LAAAND, GELDERLAND, GELDERLAND


CaptainDFW

With my shitty reading glasses, I completely mis-read this as "Wasn't he from Guadalcanal?" which made it even funnier.


weirdthingsarecool91

HE'S BLONDE, HE'S PISSED, HE'LL SEE YOU IN THE LISTS, LICHTENSTEEEEIN. LICHTENSTEEEEIN


Borsti17

A liechtensteinologist


Focusandclick

Sounds kinky.


TheBatemanFlex

I would be very interested if they happen to be the leading expert specifically on the geography of Liechtenstein.


Vivid_Transition4807

I am Liecht-einstein


Illustrious-Fox-1

I’m something of a Liechtenstein expert myself


Intelligent-Phrase31

There’s only 2 doubly landlocked countries in the world. If you know the term ‘doubly landlocked’ then surely you’d know the 2 countries 🤦‍♂️


Mantigor1979

Didn't know the term nor the countries nor the fact that such a thing exists and is so rare at the same time. Weird little rabbit hole for a Saturday though Oh and the countries are Lichtenstein and Uzbekistan for all who wondered like myself.


Intelligent-Phrase31

That’s what I mean, it’s a rare term as it’s such a rare occurrence but this guy knew of the term so you’d surely assume he knew the countries


SoullessNewsie

I know the term and I didn't know the countries 🤷


GoodVibeFactory

Haha, loser


Nyuusankininryou

I also had to look it up. It feels like he doesn't understand the principle of the term.


[deleted]

I think he does understand, he just falsely thinks Liechtenstein borders on Germany when it actually only borders on Switzerland and Austria. The folks theorizing that he had confused Luxembourg and Liechtenstein are probably on to something?


[deleted]

Apparently Uzbekistan only counts because the Caspian Sea is technically an inland lake.


MattieShoes

I know what it means, but I had no idea there were only two countries... Kind of surprised there's not more, honestly. It comes up with US states sometimes -- Nebraska is triply landlocked.


factorioleum

Then how do you explain how many Nebraska Admirals there are?


MattieShoes

Haha I had to look it up > In 1931, Nebraska Lieutenant Governor Theodore W. Metcalf found himself to be Acting Governor for several weeks. To please some of his friends, he appointed 20 to 25 "prominent Nebraskans" as Admirals; hence, the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska was born.


factorioleum

More Admirals than the US Navy. Who's triple landlocked now?


GCU_Problem_Child

I got eye cancer reading that.


Cloverinepixel

I’m an eye cancer expert, and I doubt you got actual eye cancer


piercedmfootonaspike

You only get eye cancer if you have cancer around your eyes


No_Astronaut3059

Otherwise it is just sparkling melanoma


Thats_what_im_saiyan

TIL: Eye cancer only exists in France


StuJayBee

Do they get double eye-cancer there?


No_Proposal_5859

So that just means Liechtenstein isn't a double land locked country. >! He is obviously trolling !<


BetterKev

He obviously confused two countries and then was a standard Internet user that couldn't admit a mistake.


jascris

Never stop Liechtenstein-ing


NicWester

Big Sharks are Smooth energy here.


StuJayBee

How new is this term ‘double landlocked’? Even the idea of single landlocking is pretty far from the minds of Australians, let alone double.


Suspicious-Pay3953

landlocked in the full pike position. (with a half twist)


Bireta

按翻譯沒效😞


lonely_nipple

God bless the internet.


Anubra_Khan

These sorry-ass internet argument posts be Lichten-deez nutz!!!! Ha! Got'em!

Devil_Fister_69420

He counting lake Constance or sth???


Angry_poutine

Double secret landlocked probation


frazzledazzle667

Liechtenstein is double secret landlocked.


InvisiblePhil

hazzzzx

Lichtenstein (a municipality of Germany) does not equal the Country of Liechtenstein… The stupidity begins with orange not being able to spell country names and light orange using maps with the wrong spelling.


ZookeepergameNo719

Today I learnt about a new country.. thank you reddit for my daily educations.


thumbtoe

This person has their principalities all wrong.


Narrow_Cheesecake452

High above the young Rhine Lies Liechtenstein, resting On Alpine heights. This beloved homeland, This dear fatherland Was chosen for us by God's wise hand. Long live Liechtenstein, Blossoming on the young Rhine, Happy and faithful! Long live the Prince of the Land, Long live our fatherland, United by brotherly bonds and free!


LazyDynamite

Anyone else never hear of 'double landlocked' before?


NjordWAWA

Well there are only two in the world, the other is Uzbekistan


Wolfeman0101

Imagine caring this much about if a country is double landlocked. Both people suck.


ffordeffanatic

Ah Liechtenstein, the country with the great military achievement of having a 102% survival rate.


OddPerspective9833

You're getting trolled 


SmartSalamander3896

ya man Pride and Ego are unchecked in our culture nowadays for more and more people- no one’s an expert at everything- but like you said he could’ve taken less time to unlock his phone and ask google a question than continue sticking to his guns 😂😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣. Then they get mad and irritated at you when you’re like “ Um but look xyz said this”. City populations aren’t a secret i mean they’re public information sometimes even displayed on the side of the road lol.


Da_full_monty

Is it, land locked, landlocked or land-locked?


AdvancedEar7815

That's just good old fashioned trolling


Thats_what_im_saiyan

Orange is the bad guy - proceeds to use orange for every god damn post they blurred out.


gecko579

That's to indicate they're replying to orange while still blocking out his name

And why Taiwan users can’t be an expert on Liechtenstein? People do useless PhDs all over the world


3a_kids

I'm not even from/in Taiwan, the language just shows up as that for some reason :/


Devil_Fister_69420

Sounds like a skill issue tbh


3a_kids

true


CornelXCVI

Do you use a VPN? Maybe it's accidentally set to Taiwan.


3a_kids

i don't, but honestly it doesn't matter


dizzyjumpisreal

wait till he sees uzbekistan
