I don’t get it
I don't either
And they say we don't have a sense of humor :^)
It is a running joke in Germany that beilefield does not exist, any German knows it, it’s just a silly weird joke
Tom Scott knows. He's one of THEM!
This was door. You have no talent.
Even Angela Merkel doubted the existence of Bielefeld
We do not joke about Bielefeld' (non)-existence…..😅
You can actually read a Wikipedia article about it called "Bielefeld Verschwörung" or "Bielefeld conspiracy" and is basically a over 30 year old joke from a university student 😂 even the city itself made it part of their own advertising
If you travelled to places based on how large they are on google maps, you'd find somewhere that is empty, despite its large place name.
It's called the Baltimore phenomenon and it's the tendency for a city or town to be omitted from maps due to space constraints whilst smaller cities are included on the same map simply because enough space is avaliable to display them, the name of the phenomenon originates from the fact that, the city of Baltimore in Maryland tends to be omitted from Maps due to the presence of larger cities nearby, another example: Within the large stretch of land in western Australia in which there are few places, there's a town called Alice Springs, and since its the only available place that could be labeled, it tends to be on maps, at the same scale as the labels of much bigger cities, whilst not having anywhere near the same amount of population or relevancy.
I plan on moving to Bielefeld, Germany one day. 😂❤
They have this in Brazil…. but is an entire state😅
hahahahahaaa I had to laugh so hard xDD
