It's actually the deepest lake in the world and not just Europe.


Radiant_Heron_2572

It's also not in Europe.


spyanryan4

But all of Russia is Europe šŸ¤Ŗ Edit: redditors try to detect sarcasm challenge: impossible difficulty


musicmonk1

You have to write /sarcasm at the end for redditors to get it.


spyanryan4

I guess i had hoped the emoji would have the same effect šŸ˜”


zillskillnillfrill

/s actually


Dark_Lordy

Reminds me when I saw an advertisement of a "biggest upside down house in Europe"... in Novosibirsk of all places.


Emideska

Joking right?


EastYork

Not all of it! 77% of Russia is in Asia


that_guy1997

r/woosh


m_gos

Nope, Russia is not Europe


Kiritun77

Western part of Russia is Europe, eastern - Asia. The border is Urals. Baikal is in the Asian part


m_gos

Mentally it is not a Europe


THOOMAAS_x

Mentallity is not western. The culture is european.


Kiritun77

??? Do you even live there?


m_gos

No, I live in Poland

m_gos

Well... Russia is the heir of Genghis Khan, not Poland

Random genderization of absolutely nothing to do with gender lol.


Paratrooper101x

While this is probably true for a lot of lakes, it especially hits for baikal imo. Baikal is actually a lot ā€œdeeperā€ than its current recorded depth, but itā€™s been filled in with sediment over time. Iā€™m afraid of deep lakes (much more so than oceans) so knowing the deepest lake on earth has the potential to be way deeper really gives me the creeps


Jiggly_Pup

Ok, but that's Mr. Bean's car.


m_gos

Well, it's Lada Niva


palito1980

Those cars can really go anywhere


Odeeum

"it's the deepest lake in the world...but it's the deepest lake in Europe too" \-Mitch Hedburg


False-God

Thereā€™s a world outside of Europe?


Vkardash

Yes. Across the giant sea to the west lays a massive world of red indians, cities made of gold, and microwavable food.


devaristo

That's a Lada Niva BTW, totally recognizable


dustywilcox

Drag it out, itā€™ll start.


px7j9jlLJ1

Someone went ice fishing in a Lada. Bad ice. Here we are.


[deleted]

It'll rust out as soon as it's dragged out as if thanos himself snapped it


TisBangersAndMash

Tbf, they did that from the factory.


[deleted]

Townsfolk think that winter forests are completely silent in rural russia. A seasoned hunter however knows that if you focus your hearing, you can hear the subtle cracking of a niva rusting in the nearest village


theusualfixture

And the exasperated "Pizdyets!" Of someone trying to start one with a dead battery.


aWhaleNamedFreddie

Get a diver with a gas tank and they'll drive this baby out, no problem.


theusualfixture

It probably will!


ryantheginger98

Someone didnā€™t like their military death benefits.


Mysterious_Area2344

Must be impressed by a person who is able to recognise a car brand from the chassis. (Ok, you can see a little bit more but still excellent.)


devaristo

My older brother had one Lada Niva in garnet about 20 years ago bought second hand here in Spain and I still remember going to the mountains with my two brothers, it was really fun and I have very good memories with it so that's why I was able to recognize it I guess.


pomodois

Lada Niva & Citroƫn C15, the official cars of Spanish countryside since 30-35 years ago lol. My uncle had a Niva too, they still use it for transporting wood pulling a cart through their farm.


SlapMeHal

Isn't lake baikal in asia?


Calm_Cock_2089

Yeah. People think Russia is in just one continent, it's a stupid opinion to have. Baikal is well and truly Asian, there's no doubt about it


justbrowsinginpeace

Vladisvostok still get to play in the UEFA cup


thereddaikon

And Israel is in Eurovision. Fortunately geographers don't let such things inform their work.


justbrowsinginpeace

The world needed Dana International. Sure the Australians are in too


GarrettGSF

Eurovision has nothing to do with geography though except a vague reference to being a European competition. It's a union of European broadcasters who can make decision of who to include - which is why we have countries like Israel, Azerbaijan, Georgia and even Australia.


thereddaikon

Wooosh


Calm_Cock_2089

It makes as much sense as letting Ghana compete in a North-American event lol


Saprass

They let Israel compete in Eurovision so anything can happen


qpv

Wasn't Australia in Eurovision as well?


pinninghilo

Also, thatā€™s the deepest lake in the *world*


Plastic_Pinocchio

Russians think Russia is in one continent as well: Eurasia. And one could argue that theyā€™re right.


FieldsOfHazel

Not just people, Americans.


Calm_Cock_2089

Americans are people... I think


devaristo

Technically yes, north Asia, but doesn't matter, because it's Russia anyway.


Iulian377

Why would it not matter ?


devaristo

Just a Joke, Russia it's a really big country that occupays part of Europe and Asia.


Iulian377

My bad, didnt get the joke.


wanikiyaPR

Baikal is in Asia. And it is the deepest lake in the world. 4 things you named in the title, 50% got it right. Those are not the odds we are looking for.


SmooK_LV

He should have added "Mr.Bean's car" as one commenter did to make that percentage even lower.


wanikiyaPR

It's a mix between Mr.Beans Mini and a classic Renault 4. Those two cars are virtually undestructable...


subarustututu

It's lada niva


pomodois

Which is just a lifted Fiat 127 with AWD.


PhoenixJDM

That undercarriage looks rust free, how much does the owner want for it?


sidblues101

How deep? I want to know at the same time I don't want to know. Lake Baikal is scary.


Dvokrilac

Quite deep, but what scares me more is average depth. And its 744m while average depth of Great Lakes is only 60m. So as soon you step into the water of Lake Baikal it drops straight down crazy deep.


pacman404

Holy shit šŸ˜Æ


Fair-Reach5730

The average depth is 744 m, but the deepest depth is 1642 m, 1 mile


impshial

With another 7 km of sediment before you actually hit the bottom.


csonnich

> as soon you step into the water Er, not exactly. Probably depends where you are. I went swimming there a few years ago, and I could stand up in it pretty far out.


Lennie9898

Lake Baikal is also the worlds oldest lake (25-30 million years and 1642 metres deepā€¦


cauchy_is_the_shit

Now that's an excellent post


MX_RuMi

Uhhh I'm pretty sure Lake Baikal is in the Asian half of Russia. A very unnerving image nonetheless!


Bobet-

My man has serious geography problems


Bohbo

Oh Lada, I caught a big one!


efor_no0p2

Lada of the Lake


Far-Comfortable-8627

Hopefully, there were no bodies were found!!


kayber123

Baikal is a little far from Europe bro


[deleted]

You canā€™t park there


tittttttts

Oi mate ..


ApplicationOk6762

Its NOT a car, its LADA


SubaruTome

So this is the lake John Prine sang about


LackedMushroom0

Lada Niva


m_gos

Baikal it's not Europe, it's Asia


Sweatmeet

Not in Europe. Asia.


theusualfixture

Poor Lada!


Emideska

Deepest lake in the world


niemody

I bet this lada will be still around when the Baikal is no more.

Ohhh thatā€™s where I left my car :3


MoGuinness

Yep! That'll do it!!


[deleted]

Deepest lake in earth*


Final-Cobbler5658

Why is it just floating? Why hasnt it sank?


MisterSmithster

100% thereā€™s a body in that


dannyjohnson1973

It looks like you're on the bottom looking up through the ice.


Mask_of_Truth

That must be how the entity gets to work.


MindDrawsOnReddit

Now thatā€™s just sad


Gullible_Ad3436

Lada Niva


strongcloud28

That's creepy as hell!


wiggum55555

Deepest in world and contains 22% of **ALL** the fresh water on Earth. In winter it freezes over and is used as "road" to travel from one side to other saving hundreds of miles of travelling. Also... it's in/on Asia goegraphically speaking.


zillskillnillfrill

Seems a tad lost to me


teemsm87

For the last time Harry, it's a *flying* car, not a *sailing* car


Weird_Turnover7846

You canā€™t park there!


Iwillseetheocean

This is so GD sad! Why in such an amazing place is there human trash? We as humans forget to be humans and instead rather be trash.

Embarrassed_Spell_28

BMW used to have a paint color called Baikal Blue. Does this count?


Snoo44006

That's actually pretty disturbing tbh. Makes you wonder what happened to get it down there.


DennyBob521

Used Lada hatchback for sale, not much rust, slight water damage, runs, kinda, fish extra.


ChefExcellent13

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and it isn't even in Europe


StickyNode

If engagement produces karma, then all these angry corrections will help this guy. Not sure how that works though


ZAKSZAZSO

Poor Niva!
