"Thin strip of land"

You should zoom in and check the topography.
I did that one day! That place is buck wild!

wrote last edited by [email protected]It is a very thick but even taller strip of land.
The point of reference for it's thinness shouldn't be it's own height, but rather the sizes of countries in general.
I mean, it's still be thin, but the UK has no place throwing stones from within that glass house lol

I feel like this is stretching the definition of "thin" to make sure nobody feels insecure about the proportions of the land claimed by local government.
What are we doing here, folks?

I love cultural fusion. I'm also hungry now.

It just looks skinny because of how long it is baby I promise it's more than thicc enough for you

That's why I put the "fit" in quotes. There is no space for a highway because of gulf, mountains and national parks, and that is a good thing.
If it was wider they would have built a highway for sure.
I get what you meant. But it would be more apt to say that they don't want a highway there, it's not like it wouldn't fit if they wanted. The whole thing is a biosphere reserve, new infrastructure is not allowed. It has nothing to do with the geographical wideness of Chile. To only have a ferry there is a choice. Bypassing through Argentina actually skips a good third of the official highway.

Italy looks like the thin strip of land in this comparison.

It’s 2600 miles/4200km long. It’s 2300 miles NYC to Los Angeles, for perspective.

Looks pretty thin to me:
The narrow point is about as wide as driving to my nearest beach and that's a reasonable day trip distance.

Yeah this is 100% correct. Today it's a damp and humid rock.
Wish I was on some far off thin strip of land, if I'm honest.
Me too, and I'm not from a damp rock or a small country.

I think both narrow and thin are relative, rather than absolute terms. It’s a country, not a pipe.
Both invoke an idea of smallness, though. Maybe skinny?
Yay pedantry!

If Scandinavia looks like a cock to you, then yes. But you might want to see a doctor it your cock looks like the outline of Norway and Sweden...
Nah, my wife likes that I'm fjorded for her pleasure.

Why does that give me an urge to want to walk the length of it.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yao Ming isn't thin. He's wider than almost anyone you know. It'd be crazy to call him thin.
But he is still lanky, because of his proportions.

Yeah! Thanks. I was shouting "Zoom out! Zoom out!" at my screen.
Does that normally work?

It's not very thick, it is thin, but it's extremely long. Chile that is.
Not many countries outside of Europe are as small east-to-west as Chile. Even in Europe the major countries like France, Germany, Spain and even the UK are bigger east-to-west. Italy is bigger east-to-west, but mostly because it's angled. If it were oriented vertically like Chile it would be thinner along most of the boot, but still wider than Chile along the top from the coast near Nice to Venice.
Also worth noting that although the UK isn't all that wide, it has major port cities on both east and west coasts. Chile has an inhospitable mountain range on its eastern side, so really the population is concentrated in an area that's much thinner than the geographic boundaries of the country.

An interesting comparison is Canada. Chile is about as long as Canada is wide, and most of Canada lives within a short distance of the US border, so the population distribution is similar to Chile's.

I recognize that I didn't present a very coherent comment, but that's basically what I meant with my last sentence, lol
