The split of Gondwana has nothing to do with the asteroid that whiped out dinosaurs. It startet to split way before the impact. The asteroid hit the earth ~66 million years ago, but Gondwana already startet to split ~150 million years ago.
The continent split because of the drift of the tectonic plates
Unrelated, but when I was a kid I thought China and Japan were a united land mass until WW2 when we nuked Japan, then it floated off into the ocean. This reminded me of that a little bit
Yeah, I know it started to drift because of the shift of the tectonic plates, but didn’t know that the drift started happening before the asteroid impact. I thought the impact triggered the shift.

They used to be together, before the asteroid hit that wiped out the dinosaurs. Then, the continents split.

Thanks for the info 👍 ☺️.
Just like the previous Lemming, this still doesn’t explain what the joke is to me. What’s that got to do with communism?
I suppose it’s the “we ised to be together, it used to be our continent, now we’re separated”.
Yeah and it might have something to uniting continents with Communism ( or Sino- Russian imperialism) as in the end you see the Hammer and the Sickle.
Nice uname, love the movie, best movies Diesel starred in 👍.
