False. Researchers and penguins. Lots and lots of penguins.

[–]WutsUp 21 points22 points ago

Nobody lives in New Zealand either apparently.

[–]D4NG3RCL0S3 7 points8 points ago

fact: John Lennons father ditched his family and moved to New Zealend where he never heard of his son again and John never met or hear his dad since then. People do live in New Zealend

[–]SojuSojuSoju 8 points9 points ago

So... they're all deadbeat dads, is what you're saying?

[–]Edrosvo 1 point2 points ago

gotta love new zealend

[–]myne 5 points6 points ago

Nuw Zulund isn't a continent it's Japan's southern twin.

[–]DonnyDreamliner 2 points3 points ago

As someone who lived in New Zealand for 8 months, I can confirm this is yeeh, naw, yeeh

[–]WutsUp 1 point2 points ago

When we say something is 'mean as!' it means it's cool or awesome.

Whenever I end up saying this to someone from another country they think i'm really offended about something.

[–]JimmyCheeseball 2 points3 points ago

Try calling somebody from another country a good cunt....

[–]JZNelson 52 points53 points ago

Antarctica actually has one permanent resident.

[–]Pfeffersack 25 points26 points ago

Care to share his name or function?

[–]Dubbys 32 points33 points ago

There are no permanent human residents

Straight from Wiki

[–]notnotabear 86 points87 points ago

Technically, none of us are permanent residents on our respective continents.

[–]Dubbys 19 points20 points ago

Do you have a Wiki page to back this statement?

[–]live_wire_ 145 points146 points ago

[–]Mr_Unagi 0 points1 point ago

Whhhaaaattt? Nah man I'm gonna live here for eons.

[–]JZNelson 2 points3 points ago

Can't remember his name but I know there is also an orthodox church there that rotates priests twice a year.

[–]Pfeffersack 7 points8 points ago

I'm afraid that would be non-permanent.

[–]JZNelson 0 points1 point ago

In addition to the one resident I meant.

[–]D4NG3RCL0S3 0 points1 point ago

Antartica actully has over 1,000 permanent researchers living there at this one camp

[–]Demonknightx 5 points6 points ago

I'll piggyback the top comment and repost what got buried from below:

penguins and researchers aren't the only ones that share Antarctica. There are bugs there too. Granted there is only one type of bug, but hell, at least it isn't a spider right? It is called the Antarctic Midge.

Bug Highlight: Can survive without oxygen for 2-4 weeks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgica_antarctica

[–]The_Mosephus 2 points3 points ago

still nope.

[–]smokeydesperado 0 points1 point ago

Nope

[–]Athetius 0 points1 point ago

Exactly what I was going to say, albeit without the meme.

[–]duleewopper 0 points1 point ago

yup!

[–]Evil_Iowan 0 points1 point ago

Is cool. Penguins are better than people, anyway.

[–]dingleface 0 points1 point ago

There are more support staff than researchers.

[–]OoogaOoogaYoink 0 points1 point ago

Only during the summer, right? In the winter the researches all leave, don't they? Or does a skeleton crew remain?

[–]ntotheq 0 points1 point ago

came here for this, was not disappointed. redditors are informed!

[–]Sibber93 66 points67 points ago

poor? more like lucky Antarctica..

[–]firebat707 18 points19 points ago

That's that I was thinking, nobody is drilling for oil on it or dumping toxic waste. I sure the content appreciates that.

[–]naqutramas 4 points5 points ago

That's that I was thinking, nobody is drilling for oil on it or dumping toxic waste. I sure the continent appreciates that.

FTFY

[–]SweetNeo85 4 points5 points ago

Are you kidding? Just because we don't live there doesn't mean we aren't drilling for oil...

[–]muchtoonice 7 points8 points ago

Actually the Antarctic Treaty System prohibits drilling except for scientific purposes.

[–]FredDorfman 0 points1 point ago

If you have a car or any plastic in your house you should probably kill yourself right now.

[–]ekohfa 3 points4 points ago

just needed to make sure somebody said this

[–]WhyYouLetRomneyWin 5 points6 points ago

Yup. Human = parasite.

[–]Nocto 82 points83 points ago

I'm leaving to go live in Antarctica for 6 months on Monday...

[–]Radishing 65 points66 points ago

Do an AMA. That's an order.

[–]shlack 7 points8 points ago

my dad goes to antarctica on a yearly basis, I could probably convince him to do an AMA if there is any interest.

[–]live_wire_ 8 points9 points ago

Only have to wait 6 months to get a reply...

[–]sulejmankulenovic 2 points3 points ago

Pretty sure they have computers there.

[–]Forhavu 11 points12 points ago

Antarctica: now with free wifi.

[–]brett6781 7 points8 points ago

Free WiFi? brb, packing.

[–]alexkh150 7 points8 points ago

Visit Antarctica! No spiders and Free Wifi!

[–]dingleface 1 point2 points ago

It's not that exciting. I've worked there for 6 years, and many people have done AMA's

[–]bearsa113609 4 points5 points ago

Looking to go down mysle if a current cancer scare goes well. Figured I needed to go somewhere or do something, and Antarctica is on the top of my Bucket List.

[–]Leaffar 2 points3 points ago

You should read best Antarctica survival guide, it's titled "At the Mountains of Madness" and it's free!

[–]DoxBox 0 points1 point ago

Oh, that's devious.

I like you.

[–]dirtybillclinton 3 points4 points ago

I am thinking about going down after i finish with school. I'll be hitting you up in the future about your experiences. Have a fun flight with the cargo, mate!

[–]LivingSaladDays 8 points9 points ago

I'd like to go to Antartica. Do they just let you, or do I have to be good at something?

[–]Paintjuggler 1 point2 points ago

Are you with USAP or another country? Scientist or Contractor? What department?

[–]TransAm 0 points1 point ago

Raytheon?

[–]ramsay_baggins 51 points52 points ago

It does have penguins though, and penguins are awesome.

[–]DinoBenn 28 points29 points ago

Africa, South America, and Oceania also have penguins.

EDIT: Here's a map of penguin distribution for anyone wanting to fact check.

[–]Hibno 11 points12 points ago

Keep coming north, buddies. You are so close to North America.

[–]whimsicalsteve 7 points8 points ago

Penguins don't breed in the northern hemisphere, no one's sure why.

[–]pute 11 points12 points ago

TIL South America have penguins.

[–]Kazhawrylak 6 points7 points ago

TIL Australia does too. What the fuck are they doing all upside down? Like a keg stand at an after-prom formal party.

[–]Lunawinter 36 points37 points ago

We get lots of little penguins, adorable as fuck.

http://i.imgur.com/2mFHn.jpg

[–]sho-nuff 23 points24 points ago

how many people do they kill a year

[–]Randamba 28 points29 points ago

Only 42,768. It's not that bad.

[–]Thinks_Too_Logically 1 point2 points ago

There are far too many sigfigs for me to believe that.

[–]Kazhawrylak 7 points8 points ago

Wow. That actually makes the 9/10ths of the rest of nature there that wants to kill you totally worth it.

[–]JabbrWockey 9 points10 points ago

This is actually a picture of a faux penguin - a venomous marsupial that nests in ditches and ravines. The HP bar is photoshopped out on this one.

[–]Lawd_of_Spoons 1 point2 points ago

And in Chile too. Dat shits a desert.

[–]dendedude3 1 point2 points ago

The blue part right around South America looks a lot like Trapinch.

[–]Aquard 12 points13 points ago

Antarctica has no mosquitoes.

That's a HUGE plus.

[–]Offensive_Statement 0 points1 point ago

Neither do most buildings, and those have the advantage of not making you seek the sweet release of suicide to escape eternal night half the year.

[–]funnywhennecessary 7 points8 points ago

Came here to say this. My first thought: Penguins yay!

Also it's not the worst thing for a continent to be almost human-free.

[–]LIIEETeh 6 points7 points ago

And polar bears...don't forget polar bears!

[–]funnywhennecessary 20 points21 points ago

Umm....... yes.

[–]EminGH 18 points19 points ago

Should we tell him?

[–]funnywhennecessary 20 points21 points ago

No.... he will find out on his own. One day.

[–]Lafyra 24 points25 points ago

Cuntinents.

[–]bithead 10 points11 points ago

The one continent that doesn't host a reality TV show, and someplace nobody from Jersey Shore will every go to. Wins.

[–]IOUaUsername 0 points1 point ago

I think somebody pitched an "Ice Truckers/Ax Men/Deadliest Catch"-type show down there about the researchers. I'm pretty sure I heard one was pitched about the international space station.

[–]The_Prince1513 8 points9 points ago

I guess no one cares about New Zealand

[–]devourke 5 points6 points ago

I'm not crying

[–]UrbanJesus 1 point2 points ago

It's just been raining....on my face.

That's why we kicked you off our continent - The Continent of Australia

This is like making fun of someone for being single while you're in an incredibly abusive relationship.

If you ever need to talk to anyone, we're here for you. And so are the trolls.

[–]CaterpillarsNight 5 points6 points ago

At least it doesn't have this std called humans... They're pretty resistant and a huge plague on the other continents

[–]rodarmor 4 points5 points ago

Fuck you other continents! You don't understand us! Come on Antarctica, let's go get high behind the bleachers.

[–]lethargicwalrus 6 points7 points ago

All those continents except Antarctica are dumb. If Antarctica commits suicide, they are gonna get drowned.

[–]Antares777 3 points4 points ago

False.

[–]IOUaUsername 2 points3 points ago

Only some of the most low-lying cities would be submerged if all the ice on earth was to melt. The water would only rise by about 2m (6.5 feet or so). The real issue is that the big white shiny ends of the planet reflect heat, and without them the earth would get really hot.

[–]FOR_SClENCE 4 points5 points ago

Actually, about

...1,000 in winter to about 5,000 in the summer...

live on the continent, many of those in McMurdo.

[–]PaintyFilms 2 points3 points ago

False: There is a Browns Backers club in Antarctica.

That's right.

The Cleveland Browns have fans on multiple continents including Antarctica.

Pittsburgh sucks.

[–]Iamthedarknight 0 points1 point ago

Pittsburgh does not suck sir.

[–]Demonknightx 2 points3 points ago

This will probably get buried, but penguins and researchers aren't the only ones that share Antarctica. There are bugs there too. Granted there is only one type of bug, but hell, at least it isn't a spider right? It is called the Antarctic Midge.

Funny, that means Antarctica has a higher national IQ average than The United States.

[–]mcartz33 1 point2 points ago

Antartica is the coolest planet, it doesn't care. It has fucking penguins anyway.

[–]honeydee 1 point2 points ago

Planet? I never knew that!

What do you mean? North America is there, complete with Canada and Mexico.

[–]SenorSpicyBeans 4 points5 points ago

[–]AATroop 3 points4 points ago

I'd see that more as residing. No one really lives on Antartica. They can stay there for a long period of time, but there's nothing that allows them to sustain themselves there.

I see it more as a nuance.

[–]jadziads9 1 point2 points ago

i used to follow a livejournal blog of a guy who worked in mcmurdo for a few years. it was fascinating!

[–]Heimdall2061 0 points1 point ago

I wonder if the military has anybody stationed at McMurdo. It'd be pretty funny to be able to say you were literally reassigned to Antarctica.

[–]Canard427 2 points3 points ago

My dad got stationed there for 3 months back in the 80's, so yes the military does send people there. Also the US Marshals usually have one or two officers there for security purposes.

Not sure about the others.

If we are talking about humanity. Why is that a bad thing?

To be fair, Antarctica has the highest percentage of scientists out of any continent. Nearly all (if not all) of its entire human population.

So, it's probably the smartest continent.

[–]Padington_Bear 0 points1 point ago

I just had an amazing idea. When the arctic gets too warm for polar bears and shit to survive, scientists can bring them all down to the south pole to live, because by then it will be about as warm as they're used to!
