Europe isn't really a continent. It's a peninsula.

Continents are a hoax.

There's only 4 big islands: Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, and Australia.

Who tf considers Europe a continent? Is this some American thing? I think everyone in Europe knows Europe and Asia are just parts of the world and Eurasia is the continent.

It might just be an American thing, but it's what I've always been taught.
