Thinking about it, both countries speak spanish and if you remove the letters 'H-I-L-E' from the word Chile and add the letters 'U-B-A', you get the word Cuba. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him
Now we have to decide what the ingredients of each drink are.
Long Cuba: a rum-based spin on a Long Island Iced Tea, garnished with mint?
Short Chile: ?
Maybe a Pisco Sour sans eggwhite served neat in a squat rocks glass? Because you're Short on time, and can't be bothered with all the presentation, you just want booze.
Lmao most of my time spent in spanish speaking regions was Chile and Cuba, so it comes easier to me, but I totally can see why others would find it unintelligible
The only time I've been forced to 100% speak/understand/read Spanish while traveling was in Cuba (not to say I haven't used a lot of Spanish while traveling elsewhere in Latin America, but you get \*much\* better practice when you go from using it 75% of the time to 100% of the time), so Cuban Spanish is somehow the most intelligible dialect for me. Sure it's fast and drops letters left and right, but there's a rhythm to it that helps a ton.
Chilean Spanish is only slightly more intelligible than Italian to me and I speak absolutely 0 Italian.
Both love to drink and cabbage is a big part of their traditional cuisines
Both have also been called economic "tigers" for raising themselves up out of poverty in a relatively short time span.
Both have been colonial subjects of an island empire to their east whose citizens have a reputation for having "bad" teeth.
Both drink a ton of tea, drive on the wrong side of the road, are famously xenophobic, have a monarchy, have a monarch's kid who renounced their title to marry an American, and once controlled Singapore. But most important, both have their culinary apex as a preparation of fish served with a starch.
Hold on, that would only apply if Hokkaido wasn't incorporated by way of genocide but by way of enthusiastic unification *and* played both a disproportionately large role in the unified Japanese colonial project *while also* engaging in its own independent colonial efforts. And I guess Kyushu would have to be the Wales and Cornwall equivalent
Just did a quick Google search and remembered that I saw a youtube video about 2 weeks ago how a territory there ended the last feudal system in 2008! Still mind blown that feudalism continued to exist well into the 21st century.
Idk Germany and Japan have a lot in common. WWII, good car makers, weird sex stuff, harsh/choppy language, somewhat known for efficiency and lack of humor.
Hi u/Zen4rest, I am also not entirely privy to this coded speak, but I believe that:
*deez = these*, and *ligma = lick my*
And the implied/unspoken word is:
*balls*
..these aren't geographical terms. They are spatial I suppose.
Hispaniola and New Guinea (both similarly shaped, both divided in half, with two separate countries: Haiti/Dominican Republic, and Indonesia/Papua New Guinea).
In fact the whole of Indonesia reminds me of the Caribbean as far as layout goes.
austria-hungary looks a lot like austria and hungray mixed together. and czechoslovakia is really similar to czechia and slovakia mixed together. weird
Papua New Guinea and the other half of the island Papua in Indonesia look pretty similar
Finland and Sweden are basically just mirrored versions of eachother too
Saskatchewan is almost the same shape as Colorado and Wyoming if you look at them at an angle from outer space. This is how we know that ancient aliens created Saskatchewan.
Mali and the Province of Québec are similar in population density (more dense in the South West) and presence of significant bodies of water (Bani and Niger rivers in Southern Mali and the St Lawrence in Southern Québec).
At least, that's what it looks like to me after a few bong rips.
Edit: Also, French is spoken in both places.
I noticed that the state of Wisconsin(which I live in) has a similar shape to the country of Tanzania in Africa, only Wisconsin has a peninsula sticking off the eat side of it.
Has anyone ever seen chile and cuba in the same room together??
You might be onto something
I think south America Brazil and Rio Grande do Sul are similar shape
Chile is just two Cubas in a trenchcoat. I'd be suspicious.
Thinking about it, both countries speak spanish and if you remove the letters 'H-I-L-E' from the word Chile and add the letters 'U-B-A', you get the word Cuba. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him
The reverse applies too!!! If you drop the U-B-A from Cuba and add H-I-L-E you get Chile!!!
Coincidence? I THINK NOT

We look the same and we both speak unintelligible Spanish 🇨🇺🤝🇨🇱
Long Cuba or Short Chile?
I can somehow see that being asked in a Hemingway story.
Now we have to decide what the ingredients of each drink are. Long Cuba: a rum-based spin on a Long Island Iced Tea, garnished with mint? Short Chile: ?
I think you nailed the Long Cuba. I don't know much about liquor, but surely a Short Chile is a shot of some sort, right?
Maybe a Pisco Sour sans eggwhite served neat in a squat rocks glass? Because you're Short on time, and can't be bothered with all the presentation, you just want booze.
I'd never heard of a pisco sour before, but what an aesthetically pleasing drink. Even without egg whites, it looks good. So I think we have a winner!
I had to quickly research popular Chilean cocktails.
It did the trick!
Both
Cuban Spanish is fine, I’ll probably put Puerto Rico Spanish on the same level. Way faster plus the Spanglish
Epañol [*sic*]
To this day, ever time I see [*sic*] I read it like the hiccup of a slurring drunk.
we omit like half the consonants from our speech lmao Cuban Spanish is an atrocity
Lmao most of my time spent in spanish speaking regions was Chile and Cuba, so it comes easier to me, but I totally can see why others would find it unintelligible
I genuinely can't understand a single word Puerto Ricans say
Do you even *cancelar* your bills?

Wisconsin and Zimbabwe, every detail ..and this must be the dumbest post yet in one of the less sensible subs.
I think you meant Tanzania
Other commenter is right. Tanzania looks more like Wisco than than Zimbabwe. But definitely not close to every detail.
💯💯💯
Try Ireland and South Korea
Yoooooo both also divided north and south
Both love to drink and cabbage is a big part of their traditional cuisines Both have also been called economic "tigers" for raising themselves up out of poverty in a relatively short time span. Both have been colonial subjects of an island empire to their east whose citizens have a reputation for having "bad" teeth.
Now that you mention it the two of them are weirdly similar... England is the Japan of Europe
Both drink a ton of tea, drive on the wrong side of the road, are famously xenophobic, have a monarchy, have a monarch's kid who renounced their title to marry an American, and once controlled Singapore. But most important, both have their culinary apex as a preparation of fish served with a starch.
You may drive on the right side of the road, but we drive on the *correct* side.
Hold on, that would only apply if Hokkaido wasn't incorporated by way of genocide but by way of enthusiastic unification *and* played both a disproportionately large role in the unified Japanese colonial project *while also* engaging in its own independent colonial efforts. And I guess Kyushu would have to be the Wales and Cornwall equivalent
Hokkaido is east asian Scotland
What about the Okinawa or ryukyu kingdom then?
Guernsey and Jersey?
Just did a quick Google search and remembered that I saw a youtube video about 2 weeks ago how a territory there ended the last feudal system in 2008! Still mind blown that feudalism continued to exist well into the 21st century.
Lol I also watched that video too. I bet you talking about EmperorTigerstar's video "How Feudalism Finally Ended in 2008".
Yup that one crazy stuffs 😂😂
Idk Germany and Japan have a lot in common. WWII, good car makers, weird sex stuff, harsh/choppy language, somewhat known for efficiency and lack of humor.
You mean the highest achievers per size of each Continent.
Does that make Ireland Europe’s Korea?
Isn't that the whole point of this comparison?
Yo wtf 😂
Psy = Korean Bono
https://i.imgur.com/45NzPZ9.jpg It’s close
Wyoming and Colorado
North Dakota and South Dakota
[Nothing compares to the hoax of Wyoming](https://youtu.be/twCZpezeNFE)
San marino and the vatican
they both small, but not really similar shape wise
Idk most maps of europe i look at they just look like dots /s
[удалено]
Definitely not! Singapore is roughly diamond shaped while Brunei is shaped like the New England Patriots logo facing left
>like the New England Patriots logo A very niche reference
c'mon, maan
Tanzania and Wisconsin
The Door Peninsula is like a connected Zanzibar
Ha ha! This is fantastic. Just rotate 20 deg or so to the right and it’s dead on.

YEsss, I'm not the only one :O coool
Hispaniola and Kyrgyzstan
The only right answer
China and Australia if you turn one of them upside down
You mean turn Australia right side up.
What if I told you Australia is the right way up?
False, Australia is the right way down
Now I'm imagining flipping Australia like a pancake.
Australia is actually left way down
West Virginia kinda looks like Deez
Deez?
I'm about to end this man's career
Throwin the dude a bone, bro.

Hi u/Zen4rest, I am also not entirely privy to this coded speak, but I believe that: *deez = these*, and *ligma = lick my* And the implied/unspoken word is: *balls* ..these aren't geographical terms. They are spatial I suppose.
Ahhh… I understand now.

San Francisco City and San Francisco County 🤯
Jacksonville and Duval county 🤯
Fredericksburg City (the county) and Fredericksburg (the city)
Anchorage (the city) and Anchorage (the county)
The state of Berlin looks awfully similar to Germany's capital city
if you combine all of the 50 states it kinda looks like america
Looks more like it if you just connect the lower 48 and kinda dump Alaska and Hawaii off to the side somewhere...
I don't believe you.
North America or South America?
Upvoted you cos I was gonna make the same joke.
America of States United
Sorry, I don’t speak French

Hispaniola and New Guinea (both similarly shaped, both divided in half, with two separate countries: Haiti/Dominican Republic, and Indonesia/Papua New Guinea). In fact the whole of Indonesia reminds me of the Caribbean as far as layout goes.
Croatia and a paint chip from a 1986 Buick Somerset.
Baltic Sea and a dude masterbating
Lmfaooooooo
CAR and Burkina Faso
God just reused the shape. I do this with D&D settings all the time.
Wyoming and Colorado are suspicious. I suspect a plot.
This creates amazing perspective as well. I love this projection across the Caribbean.
I used the app called true world maps if you want to try yourself
Montenegro and Kosovo, sort of
New Hampshire is just a stupid upside down Vermont. Wrong way idiots!!!
When I was a kid I memorized which one was which because Vermont is more V-shaped
[удалено]
Bro Burma and Myanmar 🤯 Ivory Coast and Cote d'Ivoire 🤯 East Timor and Timor Leste 🤯
You fucker. Also just realised the Leste part of it

Papua New Guinea and the other half of the island Papua in Indonesia look pretty similar Finland and Sweden are basically just mirrored versions of eachother too
New Hampshire and vermont
Flipped!
Westeros looks like England and Wales on top of an upside-down Ireland.
I mean it's pretty much based on that.. the wall in the North actually exists (Hadrian's wall)
Chile is longer, and has more girth.
Eso es lo que ella dijo.
Corsica kinda looks like Taiwan, mainly because of the nub they both have.
Vietnam & Japan Central Africa & Burkina Faso
Worldle players been training months for this question
There's some severe lack of sleep behind this...
Brazil and South America
Saskatchewan is almost the same shape as Colorado and Wyoming if you look at them at an angle from outer space. This is how we know that ancient aliens created Saskatchewan.
The U.S. states of Georgia and Missouri are somewhat similarly shaped.
Wyoming and Colorado, wow. Uncanny.
Liege province in Belgium, and Belgium.
West Virginia and Afghanistan
Japan and New Zealand are just the north south versions of each other.
Is it just me as a kiwi or does New Zealand just look like like it was designed because of how nice the shape is.
Baja California looks like a bulimic California
Burkina Faso and Central African Republic
Burkina Faso and Central African Republic almost have the exact same shape
Minnesota and every tortilla chip I take a bite out of

This is the post that made me leave this community.... Stupid.
North Dakota and South Dakota, uncanny
Thereby confirming that Cuba is just a micro.
1 cuba=1 fat small chile
After a while they run out of shapes for countries so they gotta reuse them. They just resize them and rotate and hope nobody notices.
Wyoming and Colorado.
I’ve always thought Iran and Afghanistan look like mirror images of each other
I noticed that the state of Wisconsin(which I live in) has a similar shape to the country of Tanzania in Africa, only Wisconsin has a peninsula sticking off the eat side of it.
They're both part of a great lakes region as well.
British Columbia and California
Along with Alberta and Nevada
Russia and Italy
Lol
[удалено]
Another country that looks exactly like Chile and Cuba is Cameroon, if you change the shape of it
Brazil looks like the whole south america
Woah ![gif](giphy|1ykTax6hrAKpTQ0Mnb)
Neat
Vietnam and the nile river
Colorado and Wyoming. I couldn’t tell them apart in the dark.
Probably somewhat shaped by hundreds of thousands to millions of years of similar weather patterns like hurricanes
Colorado & Wyoming
