I just found out today that this place has more than one continent. [He's been here for a few months now, so this is kind of sad.] That's kind of weird, isn't it? I wonder what happened to make it break up like that.

Guess I'm curious to know, though, 'cause I've been kinda bored today: anyone else's world different like that? Or anyone else's look like mine? Here. It's like this...

[He takes a moment to scratch out something, yes, you get to watch him doodle in a notebook he found nearby (sorry, Genos), and holds up this masterpiece. He even drew waves on it to help you get the full picture.]

So...?

Mine doesn't look like yours, but it's still different from here.

[heroforhobby]

Yeah?

[leonized]

Yeah, instead of continents, it's mostly islands, and some cities are built under water.

Earthquakes, dude. Maybe meteors, too.

Basically, when the world throws a little temper tantrum? Land splits.


...Gotta say mine looks pretty identical to this one--I THINK.

[He hasn't looked too closely at the maps at the school he works at, though, so who knows.]

[heroforhobby]

It must be a temperamental or weak Earth, 'cause mine sure isn't breaking up with every earthquake.

[homerunning]

Maybe. Or like, all the earth's land just condensed into one super continent back at your place, so it can take a punch.

But hey, we get things called overseas vacations out of it. So it's not all bad.

[nolongerasleep]

There's multiple continents, but not the same shapes and sizes. There's also a white moon and a black moon, not just a white moon. The stars also are very different. [Of course she's not going to mention right off that the black moon is actually a sleeping planet sized monster and the white moon used to be a lush planet full of life that said monster consumed.]

[heroforhobby]

How can you even see a black moon?

[nolongerasleep]

You can see it by what it conceals. There is always a round place in the sky with no stars and what stars it covers change over time.

Do you happen to know Genos-san? He is from a world with only one continent as well.

[ in any case ]

In this Earth and mine, even before humans existed there was a super-continent only, Pangaea. Scientists say that thanks to Earth's tectonics plates, which are always moving, they broke Pangaea part and caused the pieces of land to drift away from each other, creating the several continents.

[heroforhobby]

Ah, Genos? [Interest piques.] Yeah, he lives with me.

But still, it's weird. I think our world is about as old as here but tectonic whatevers haven't messed it up.

The world I come from, Ashan, is similar to your...drawing...there. At least, it's mainly the one continent, with a few islands ringing the edges.

Nothing like the way this world is, at least.

[heroforhobby]

I only know of one island where I'm from...

But it's not like I travel that much, so what do I know.

[He also clearly doesn't seem to look at world maps much in either worlds.]

[scrap_metal]

[ Sensei you only noticed it now? This was like one of the first thing that confirmed without any doubt that this is a parallel world. But hey, Genos won't voice that. He will just stare at the message, sigh internally, and move on. Saitama is after all a great man, few flaws here and there won't change that ]

It has something to do with tectonic plate shifting. Given which, I do wonder if we might have one day similar happening in our world. Probably not during our life time, but it is probable that our continent start to fragment one day.

A huge catastrophe, like impact of a meteor could trigger reactions leading to that.

[ To note down: sensei is probably what keeps the continent in one place... WAITAMOMENT ]

...sensei, is that a page from my notebook?

[heroforhobby]

[There is a reason Genos scores his intelligence 4 out of 10. But catch him a break, why would he think to look at a map. Who needs maps?? Not heroes, that's for sure.

He listens to the other info but it's on the last bit that he replies to because it distracts him. He holds up the notebook and flaps it.]

Yeah, it was nearby so I used it.

[pushtheboundaries]

[

huh.]


I think most people are are from worlds that are similar to this one. With...multiple continents.

Though at one point, this one did only have one.

[heroforhobby]

Yeah someone else told me about the big continent that used to be here. I wonder if it looked like mine.

[incogneto]

This Earth is made of multiple layers. The layer under this one acts like a slow-moving liquid, which moved until it caused our continents to split. We are actually still moving, just so slowly you don't notice.

[heroforhobby]

You a teacher?

[thelimitdoesnotexist]

just one?

my home we only called them regions. each of them has their own different animals.

[Mewtwo that's p much how continents work.]

they lack any similarity to this.

[heroforhobby]

I don't think that's too weird. The different animal thing. Different parts of my continent have different animals, even.

[tridentity]

So your world is just a single blob of land on the ocean? My world has multiple blobs.

[heroforhobby]

Not sure "blob" is the right word for it...

[marriedmedium]

My world is very like this one, though this one has the disadvantage of lacking my Franklin.

A suggestion, dear—perhaps add some scale to your map?

[heroforhobby]

[Oh, he recognized her. Drinky Glass Lady.]

Hmm, not sure if I could get scale right. I only saw the Earth for a few seconds before jumping back to it.
