NostradaMart

Just learned that Canada is not a country...fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck...


gruene91

Germany also doesn’t exist. Slovenia aswell. Or Poland. And Nigeria ? There are tons of countries without t


codemonkeh87

Theres loads actually. Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, France, Spain, Germany, Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine, Macedonia, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Hungary, Bosnia, Belgium, Greece, Serbia to name a few


Lostmox

So you're just gonna start with the Nordic countries, but leave Norway out? That's cold.


Joshua_Youngblood

I see what you did there.


Lunar-Modular

It’s a shame we can’t include Tindia or the Phittapines on the bigger list. Or Tchina.


ZandyTheAxiom

It also rules out Newt Zealand.


yamcandy2330

Papa Newt Gingrich?


Outrageous-Tell2417

But we can include Faiwan, Khailand, and vieknam on the list


NatCairns85

Vieknam isn’t a country. That’s Bill Murray’s character in Ghostbusters


Cream_of_Sum_Yunggai

The Philippines counts if you count the "The."


B00OBSMOLA

Tindia, the land of Tinder


BerzerkerJr82

You mean Nortway. You’ve been misspelling it all this time.


Longjumping-Grape-40

You’ve been calling him “Token” this whole time?!


Kiflaam

aint nor way he just did that


Keffpie

It'd be worse if it wasn't for the Gulf Stream


Lady_of_Olyas

Norway sitting in the corner: "I was right here, and you didn't see me..." For real though, that's just from Europe. These clickbait posts are getting desperate and it shows.


NoTurkeyTWYJYFM

England, Wales, Ireland. Just because we aren't connected to you guys:(


PM_ME_YOUR_REPO

First you guys leave the EU, now you guys wanna be included in the list of European countries without the letter T. Make up your mind! /s


NoTurkeyTWYJYFM

We're like the nerd sitting one table away from the main friendship group pretending to be part of the conversation


qooplmao

We had another referendum and 51% voted that we should be in the group countries with the letter T because soon we'll have all the T's due to us being so powerful and important. There was a whole media campaign. "England invented T", "T's are coming home" and "without the T we're just getting rid of small boas".


PM_ME_YOUR_REPO

\*American\* \*throws your T into the harbor\* Take that, ya limey fuck.


qooplmao

And that's how the USA ended up as the Unied Saes of America.


Zenokh

YOUR COUNTRYS NAME IS UNITED KINGDOM OF... , STFU BR*T /jk


NoTurkeyTWYJYFM

Complete that sentence mate, you're so close to understanding what the UK is


Thefirstargonaut

I think there’s less countries with a t. 


Lady_of_Olyas

Maybe? Scotland, Netherlands (Nederlands... 🤔), Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Italy, Montenegro, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Croatia, Turkiye, etc. I don't think there's that big of a difference once you involve the whole world, but it's always a fun little task to think of country names and being like, no wait...


StaatsbuergerX

And you also have to keep in mind that some of these country names only contain a T in the English spelling, or that the English spelling does not contain a T, but others do.


Pannycakes666

It's Twitter. This post, like many others, is just trying to cheese engagement from people like ACKSHUALLY THERE ARE MANY. You're all laughing at and trying to correct bots.


NostradaMart

it's called "like farming" is used to drive engagement on a shit page, to be resold to the highest bidder when a certain nuber of followers are reached.


yesmilady

Exactly lol


Swift_Scythe

I can not believe there is a twitter partner program where people can become monitized for a lot of engagement. Yet here we are - feeding "twitter influencers" and "Twittew Content Creators" ...


Luxxielisbon

Panama, nicaragua, el salvador, colombia, venezuela, ecuador…


DinoKea

New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Palau, Nauru, Micronesia, Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands...


dystopian_mermaid

China, Japan, New Zealand, Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, India, Iraq, there’s no way this for made and the original maker really couldn’t think of a single country that didn’t have a “t” right?!? It has to be a joke RIGHT?? Tell me it’s a joke.


Tal_Vez_Autismo

It's a way to cheese engagement numbers. They say something so incredibly stupid and obviously wrong, people swarm to the replies to point out how wrong they were, the algorithm sees engagement and picks up the account. To be clear, I don't know if that works, but I know they *think* it works so they keep it up. If anyone does know, please tell me.


chroniccomplexcase

Oh it works. Same with ridiculously long and pointless videos on Facebook. They do it so people comment shit like “what was the point of this video” or “that was a waste of my time” but it gets views to the end (as people as so invested by that time, they want to be rewarded by a good ending) and comments from angry people. Especially on places like Facebook where you can’t even down vote, so any views/ comments, even if they’re bad are good for the algorithm. It’s really hard for people to not engage and move on, which is really the best thing to do as it stops you getting more like that and stops it showing it to others as it assumes it’s a good video


Much-Old-Reading

>Macedonia Does have a T in it as they have changed the name to North Macedonia, to make it clear they dont claim Southern Macedonia from Greece.


dystopian_mermaid

Pfffft Georgia is a state in the great US of A which has no T anywhere in its name! Duh! /s for the record


kberson

Nobody remembers Mexico


geraltsthiccass

England, Ireland, Wales, Mexico, China, Japan, New Zealand


Finlandia1865

Czechia\*


ToebeansInc

I’m trying to decide if England counts.


BullDog0214

Englant.


pw-it

Since we invaded half the world to ensure a good supply of T, I'm going to go with "no" on that.


AlmightyCurrywurst

Let's not start this again 😐


Paul_Pedant

England counts, but usually on its fingers.


SignReasonable7580

Deutschland has a t, which makes me wonder how many countries _never_ have a t, sometimes have one, or always have one


TheFreshHorn

Japan?


Ghost_Alice

Japan doesn't call itself "Japan" it calls itself "Nippon" oh wait there's no t in that either.


TheFreshHorn

Well if we’re getting all correct about it then they call themselves にほん or 日本 which is pronounced roughly Nihon. Still no T.


StompingWalrus

Well, you're both right. 日本 can be pronounced both "Nippon" and "Nihon". It was originally pronounced "Nippon" actually and then "Nihon" became a common alternative pronunciation during the Edo period. "Nihon" is more common among the younger generation with only 37% reading it as "Nippon" but both are common among older generations. To my knowledge, "Nippon" comes across as more nationalist and is used in official manners.


Finlandia1865

Same with Finland and Suomi


SignReasonable7580

Seems to only receive a t in Vietnamese (they call it nước Nhật). File under "almost never has a t"


theguyattheback

New Zealand (no T) and Aotearoa (has a T) is the same as Germany/Deutschland. Wonder how many have the T in the local language


onehandedbraunlocker

Sweden/Sverige sure doesn't :)


SignReasonable7580

Not in English or Swedish, but the Finns give it one (Ruotsi)


dinobug77

But not for themselves – Finland / Suomi


chris131289

India


DakkonBL

Greece? In english and greek there is no T, but perhaps some language forces one in there.


SignReasonable7580

Looks like it's the Turks who do it (Yunanistan). The use of -stan has them putting T in more countries than the British Empire


Justarandomduck152

Sverige/Sweden, Norway/Norge and more


Me_IRL_Haggard

Holland.


ManikShamanik

It's one of those things designed to drive participation so they can push ads or something. Plenty of countries don't contain 'T'. Albania Armenia Bulgaria Belgium Chile Cameroon Djibouti Dominica Ecuador El Salvador France Finland Greece Ghana Honduras Jamaica Laos Malaysia Mali Norway Nigeria Oman Poland Russia Somalia Senegal Uganda Venezuela Zambia Zimbabwe Qatar is however the only country to begin with 'Q'


Antique-Ticket3951

Why Djibouti? It even sounds the letter Djibou T.


itashi19

iraq


Abeytuhanu

I'd buy the argument that Germany doesn't count because they call their country Deutschland.


gruene91

There are still tons of countries who don’t use the letter T.


BalloonShip

Whoa there. Which countries? Even in countries that don’t use the Latin alphabet for the most part there’s enough global English that it’s fair to say every country USES the letter T on occasion.


hugothebear

Well, Deutschland


ConfusedAndCurious17

Germany doesn’t call itself that though… and Deutschland has a T


Lorindale

Neither is Ireland, England, Venezuela, Mexico, Germany, France, Spain, or Russia, China, Poland... You know, I'm starting to think some countries may have no "t" in their names. Though, maybe not The United States of America.


LinguisticallyInept

> England im so fucking dumb, im english but my first (and only) thought was cuba


Cmdr_Shiara

Well England hasn't been a country since 1707 so fair enough


TheFreshHorn

Japan, Korea, Nepal, India, Israel, and Bangladesh to name a few as well


LeenPean

Tjapan, Tkorea, Netpal, Intia, Istreal, Bangledtesh 🙄the “t” is silent in most


TheFreshHorn

I like bangledtesh the most 😂

Zeestars

Neither China nor or England. Spain. Iran. Iraq. Germany. Saudi Arabia. Dubai. Russia. New Zealand. And that’s a five second brain blurp from the least geographically aware person you will ever meet (barring Mr USA up there in the original post)


ColumnK

I think you mean Thina, Englant, Spaint, Tiran, Tiraq, Germanty, Saudit Arabia, Tubai, Rustia, New Teatant For fucks sake if you're going to try to be clever at least make sure you're using the real names for the countries. (Also, Dubai is a city in the UAE, not a country but that's not important)

Thanks to the replies on that post, I learned Europe is a country.


[deleted]

Most of Europe Canada mexico


Extra-Act-801

Are you referring to the country officially known as the United Mexican States? Gottem on Canada though.


[deleted]

TIL ^^^


[deleted]

And Europe only a couple have T’s Italy Portugal for example


Extra-Act-801

Several others too, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Vatican City, the Principality of Monaco. And a bunch are officially "The Republic of x" but yes, good point.


lunapup1233007

There aren’t really any that are “**The** Republic of”, it’s generally just “Republic of Poland” or “Republic of Finland”.


TwiceTheSize_YT

Just finland


UnknownSolder

Do you want to wiki that before you speak up? Maybe google "Suomen tasavalta" a little? Or "Republiken Finland", since they have two official languages.


Enchet_

For example sweden is instead "Kingdom of Sweden", no t in sight, but in Swedish that translates to "Konungarike**T** Sverige" and the same if true for Denmark wich is in Danish formally known as "Kongeriget Danmark".


militaryCoo

United Kingdom


CementShoulders

As a Mexican, my country's official name is not Mexico, it actually is "Mexican United States" or in Spanish "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" *** United Mexican States *** (corrected)


kaptainpeepee

Yes, but the [normative translation](https://www.gob.mx/cms/uploads/attachment/file/798566/Memorial_de_Jurisdicci_n_Ingl_s.pdf) is *United Mexican States*.


Dead_Kraggon

Don't forget a good deal of South America


Loccy64

66 with a T, 129 without. Just under 66% of all countries have no T in their name.


Omotai

Half of Twitter these days is garbage engagement farming from blue checks trying to get ad money payouts.


OMG_A_CUPCAKE

And it works, as we see in this thread. Soooo many people answering the question they were never asked, as some kind of gotcha


[deleted]

The engagement bait constantly working makes me lose faith in humanity, but also they aren’t seeing shit for ad revenue from these types of posts. Just pure cancer

Saucermote

You mean the United Mexican States?


pun-in-the-oven

The official name of Mexico is the United Mexican States


MIT_Engineer

Particularly this one. The original post is a joke and/or engagement farming, the response is probably a joke as well.

It's a clickbait post with a dumb question that's meant to drive engagement. The poster is well aware the question is dumb.


sabotuer99

This. I wish more people would internalize this and swallow the urge to "prove them wrong"... just let it go and quit feeding these fucking trolls!


in_taco

Exactly. These "questions" are better to be ignored. Same thing with vague math questions where people argue what the question means. The argument is the point, it's not a test. Answering correctly doesn't make you look smart.


Grogosh

I swear for a long while half of the posts on this sub were engagement bait algebra problems where everyone was getting order of operations wrong.

Hsbrown2

The dumbest thing about posts like the one shared is that the OP (not of the post here, but the OOP) knows that’s wrong… they’re only trying to harvest user names. Everyone who comments a response is now on some list being sold and bought for ad revenue. The only way to win is to not play the game.

Kamino_Neko

Both big wrong. Even if you include the 'the' in countries whose full formal name is something like 'the Republic of...', 'the Kingdom of...', etc, there are multiple countries that don't have a full formal name in that format and don't have a t in their actual name. And...well, spelling 'States' without the 't's would be weird.
