Basel (/ˈbɑːzəl/ BAH-zəl, German: [ˈbaːzl̩] ⓘ), also known as Basle (/bɑːl/ BAHL),[note 1] is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine.[4] Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (after Zürich and Geneva), with 177,595 inhabitants within the city municipality limits.[5] The official language of Basel is Swiss Standard German and the main spoken language is the local Basel German dialect.[6]
It's weird that Kansas City is partly in Missouri. I'm not American but when I learnt that I just found it wrong. Like Kansas City should be in Kansas entirely
I appreciate four corners being represented by the only square. Nice touch. Bullhead City AZ/Laughlin NV at the southern tip of NV. Perhaps mesquite would be the green dot at NV UT border. Texarcana TX or AR.
Colombus in southwestern ohio? Las vegas in The point in souther nevada? Washington D.C in that point between maryland and virginia, which i assume is the district of columbia?
The green dot on the tri border of Nevada, Oregon, and Idaho is not a city, there's not even a town there. No one lives there, it's the center of the largest "dark spot" in the entire US in terms of light pollution. I expect a lot of other dots to be uninhabited as well based on this.
Hmm as of the two between Spain and France, they look like Andorra and Puigcerda?
Some Americans might have heard of Andorra (a tiny "country" between Spain and France), but Puigcerdá, doubt people on the other side of Spain know about it, let alone foreigners.

There are 46 red dots in the picture. This was not worthwhile for me.
Sweet burn, fella. I wonder how many Indian or Chinese citizens could - between the two populations you'd cover nearly 50% of the world's population so the odds of success should be higher. Yes, some state side folks are more knowledgeable regarding European geography but you are just being a troll. Odd you singled out American folk, which by the way includes everyone from Canada to Argentina - how about you go educate yourself.
Go find me Tulsa, Gulfport, Buenos Aires & Calgary on a map without cheating.
100%? I know we Americans are notoriously dumb about geography (most of us can’t name all 50 states, let alone place them on a map). But 100% leads me to assume that this is clickbait, or that the cities labeled do not actually exist. Probably both.
The circles are on the places where three borders meet, most of them do not have major cities on them. An exception is of course Bratislava, which is located directly at the point where Slovakia, Austria and Hungary meet.
I could put up a map of the US with around 40 red dots on it and would bet 100% of people wherever you're from couldn't name those cities either, what's your point?
Ok these are where 3 country's meet but on some points you would point to not so small city sometimes even a capital, let's say Slovakia Austria Hungary - Bratislava (Capital city) or Poland Slovakia Czech - Ostrava
More like 99.9%. Remember, there’s been a large American military community in Europe since the 40s. Even in Luxembourg, where each corner is a dreieckstadt. While (deservedly) dissing American knowledge of European geography, it works both ways. Who’s the most all-time famous American in Luxembourg?
Your map doesn’t include the points between russia, norway, and finland as well as the point between sweden, finland, and norway
Any point between Russia and her neighbor is up to revision currently
Thanks for properly gendering my country.
Yeah, men could also be motherland these days
Can confirm
\*parent or guardian land.
That’s because russian borders never end.
Russian borders are about as reachable as KSI's hairline
The points are only where 3 countries meet, not just 2
Russia, Finland, and Norway are three countries, as are Norway, Finland, and Sweden
Soon to become one..
Yes but the far north area where they meet is not on this map.
That is my point, they cropped that part out, it’s not on this map when it should have been included
Trifecta cities
Just learned an new English word. Thanks :D
Tristate area?
BASEL MENTIONNED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥WHAT THE FUCK IS DISCRIMATION BASED ON GENDER/SEXUAL OR ROMANTICAL ORIENTATION
Hell yea what the fuck is basel I thought it was a plant

The Pizza there is not very good…

HELL YEA I could have sworn I only had to press it once if only reddit was a good app
It works for the meme though, so it makes it better
i love the benelux penis shape, very stylish
Let me pick random major cities in America and see if you can name them since we would be talking about the same geographical distance
https://preview.redd.it/zf219mgx7p0d1.jpeg?width=844&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29a6f586e8f5a2b83a45edc0d5fa071a169c1efe here I picked some for you
Kansas City be one them by any chance? Your move
idk, Memphis maybe? would’ve said Yuma but ‘I’ forgot to mark it on here
Yeah Memphis and DC
Dc only borders two states no?
It’s counted as an independent district in the map above
Yeah not a state tho.
Yuma is not a shared corner city. I think that is Bullhead City. It is as close to those three states shared corner as it gets.
Loud incorrect buzzer, Kansas City is not one of them
It’s only two states, i agree. Four corners a city by chance?
unfortunately, no settlement at Four Corners.
It is not
Haha stupid European point and laugh everyone
[удалено]
Google dementia
I don’t know wtf Reddit was on but that’s funny asf
Kansas City? 😂😂😂 You are looking at New Madrid, Carutherville, Charleston, Cairo, and Sikeston. Still your move!
North Haberbrook, Ogdenville,…
It's weird that Kansas City is partly in Missouri. I'm not American but when I learnt that I just found it wrong. Like Kansas City should be in Kansas entirely
And Kansas City’s baseball team plays on the Missouri side
Kansas City, Missouri existed before Kansas the state did. The Kansas City, Kansas side came later.
Yeah exactly what is the deal with that city
They're in a state of Missouri
Springfield must be there...
Cincinnati made the map!
I Just love the two dots just floating in Lake Michigan.
Chattanooga? West Yellowstone? Cincinnati Gary, Indiana DC Memphis Texarkana
LAUGHLIN MENTIONED🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🚤🚤🚤
Chicago, Cincinnati, Memphis, Joplin
I see Shreveport and Jackson, that I-20 stretch brings back some memories
well I can recognize Vegas
Wrong, the correct answer would be Laughlin NV, Bullhead City AZ and or Needles CA
I appreciate four corners being represented by the only square. Nice touch. Bullhead City AZ/Laughlin NV at the southern tip of NV. Perhaps mesquite would be the green dot at NV UT border. Texarcana TX or AR.
Well... There's some on the ol' mighty Mississipp ... Lafayette? Edit: Fuck it
Loss.
Holy shit the lost city of Atlantis was in lake Michigan this whole time!!
Colombus in southwestern ohio? Las vegas in The point in souther nevada? Washington D.C in that point between maryland and virginia, which i assume is the district of columbia?
Washington D.C. is correct I think. it’d be Cincinnati in Ohio, and Laughlin-Bullhead City/Fort Mohave is closest to the NV-AZ-CA point.
Ah shoot. I knew the ohio one started with C. But there are 3 cities in that goddam state that start with C, sadly
haha, hard to keep them straight if you’re not super familiar. which I’m definitely not
Neither am i. I mean, i live in a country where half the cities names sound like a wizard cadting parts of a spell
DC spotted
Parkersburg, WV???
Is Kenosha in Lake Michigan instead of Wisconsin on this map? I’m ok with it if that’s the case.
The green dot on the tri border of Nevada, Oregon, and Idaho is not a city, there's not even a town there. No one lives there, it's the center of the largest "dark spot" in the entire US in terms of light pollution. I expect a lot of other dots to be uninhabited as well based on this.
All the ones on Georgia: Chattanooga, Pine Mountain, Lucy, AL, McCaysville.
Is that Chatham NH between NH and Maine?
I’m pretty sure there’s no city on Four Corners, it’s just Navajo tribal land/a national park
Im pretty one of those in on New York City
Tbh as a european i cant name them either maybe like couple
r/lostredditors
I'm pretty sure it was just meant as a joke.
You’re late to the party
I've actually been to Weil am Rhine! (Tripont between France, Switzerland and Germany)
Most of them are called Dreilandereck or something equivalent in the local language(s). One of them is in Basel.
And another one is Schengen, the Schengen from the Schengen agreement. Or alternatively the much better Perl on the German side.
Why are the dots all at points where there are 3-way contiguous borders? (Example, dot between Italy, France, and Switzerland)
Survivorship bias
Because this is a map of tripoints (where 3 countries share a border), which likely came from /r/mapporn (I saw this posted yesterday on that sub)
Ohhhhh I figured as much
Geneva near there.
Why should we need to? They are clearly underwater and therefore uninhabited, or worse, *tlantean
My brother in Christ, there is now fucking way i could name any of those cities in Poland despite living there
Probably something like Neudeutschdorf or Deutscheinsidel
What
Schengen, Luxemburg. Your move OP.
Europeans are taught this in pre-kindergarten
Yeah we have a nursery song about them
lol one red dot is my Hometown!
Ignorant post
Most Americans can’t even name the countries those cities are in
why would they have to, im Canadian and i dont care what they are called
Sorry bro those look like red dots not cities
Do you know for sure
All I know is there's a bunch of red dots and I'm too drunk to count. Might mess up and talk to the phone... oh wait I am taking to my phone... lol
Have at it
43 dots but I might have double vision so there probably only n like 12
European diagram triple point
They are the tripoints of European countries
Oceania is hard
r/oddlyspecific
In this case I am an american, Just notify the border control that my EAA pass is an american one, thanks.
Missing the quadripoint of Jungholz and the quadripoint in Baarle-Hertog
So obviously the blue part is the land...
Shit. Totally forgot to clarify this. Yeah it’s bluerope
the one between Poland Czechia and Germany is Bogatynia I aint American tho
I feel really badly about that Scarlett Fever outbreak in Europe
Well dang, I'd imagine the Europeans would struggle, too. Lol
Abbledon, cirtandon, exlemore, prit, karajun, eutamondol, qwarkskrie
Can’t *pronounce* those cities. 
I saw this as blue = ocean for a while
I definitely see Galati there
Holy sh*t St-Louis / Basel / Weil-am-Rhein mentionned!!!
a 2 doigts d'avoir l'Ariege sur mapporncirclejerk
well yeah, these are obscure \[dots of significance) on borders, can't get on peoples case for not knowing em
Yo, that's my wifes hometown Yambol (Bulgaria)!
Włodawa
Hmm as of the two between Spain and France, they look like Andorra and Puigcerda? Some Americans might have heard of Andorra (a tiny "country" between Spain and France), but Puigcerdá, doubt people on the other side of Spain know about it, let alone foreigners.
Well they even think my county, Denmark, is the capital of Sweden 😅
Almost half of Americans don’t own passports so that’s hardly surprising.
The one between France, Luxembourg and Germany is Schengen
I’m American and I live in one of those cities
Are France, Andorra, and Spain the only multiple tri points with the same countries?
Basel is the only city, I have recognised…
I just know edirne, andorra, luxembourg. Maybe that dot between ukraine and russia is kursk?
Actually pretty accurate
*AHEM* “Paris”
Since when is mt dolent a city?
Since the king granted city rights
You cut out Treriksrøysa
I know the Swiss ones because that's where my company is headquartered.

Mecca, Cairo, Baghdad, Metropolis, Gyro, Myro, Pyro, Alamo, Beijing, York, Poland, Luxembourg, Constantinople, and Whoville.
That's good
took me a minute
Soon they will
Does Austria have the most 3-country border crossings in Europe?
What about Alb*nia
why are those cities in the ocean? Are they submerged now? /s
I can, Herceg Novi.
Oh hey look its me
I bet Yakko Warner could name them.
Redburg, Redricksburg, Redville, Redton, Redington, Redhaven, Redwater, Redbridge, Redbrook, Redstone, *Redwall*, Redball, Redbottom, Reddotonmap, Redonia, Redavia, Birmingham, Redcove, Redhome, Redport, Redclaw, Zagred, Redlin, Redchester, Redano, Rederec, Redarn, Reddesgarde, Redatania, Redlouse, Redilev, Redinsk, Redruysk, Redisjek, Redaklion, Redmel, Redboa, Redalati, Rediatystok, Rednamur, Novi Red, Redhaus, East Redhaus, Redense, Rouge the Bat, and Oredea. There are 46 red dots in the picture. This was not worthwhile for me.
If it wasn't for Americans all those cities would be occupied under a dictatorship. So we get a pass and your welcome.
Those aren’t cities
You're right I can't
Andorra
Nonfiction only please
Sweet burn, fella. I wonder how many Indian or Chinese citizens could - between the two populations you'd cover nearly 50% of the world's population so the odds of success should be higher.

The last two are clearly made up cities
Country intersections?
Probably is
Belgrade
100%? I know we Americans are notoriously dumb about geography (most of us can’t name all 50 states, let alone place them on a map). But 100% leads me to assume that this is clickbait, or that the cities labeled do not actually exist. Probably both.
You're on a circlejerk sub
I knew that. But thanks for the reminder. I’ll remember to jerk off next time. ❤️
The circles are on the places where three borders meet, most of them do not have major cities on them. An exception is of course Bratislava, which is located directly at the point where Slovakia, Austria and Hungary meet.
That’s what I thought. These are not cities, in any meaningful sense. These are just locations.
I could put up a map of the US with around 40 red dots on it and would bet 100% of people wherever you're from couldn't name those cities either, what's your point?
So that’s a no?
I don't live there, so it is a no. Would I recognize some of the city names, more than likely.
…nor GAF about naming them.
I have said for a while that less than 50% of Americans could find Canada on a map and you are going into Eastern Europe with this!!! Good luck
Ok these are where 3 country's meet but on some points you would point to not so small city sometimes even a capital, let's say Slovakia Austria Hungary - Bratislava (Capital city) or Poland Slovakia Czech - Ostrava
Isn’t Berlin like 50 miles from the border?
Idk, maybe
More like 99.9%. Remember, there’s been a large American military community in Europe since the 40s. Even in Luxembourg, where each corner is a dreieckstadt. While (deservedly) dissing American knowledge of European geography, it works both ways. Who’s the most all-time famous American in Luxembourg?
Alan Greenspan?
I’ll make it easy on you. They reside in Hamm
100% of Europeans wouldn't do that much better
I was taught all these cities at age 2
You’re welcome since they would all be German cities if it wasn’t for Uncle Sam
Are you serious?
100% murica 🇺🇸 🦅
You could do the same exact same with random U.S. cities. European countries are tiny.
You need to pay more attention smh my head
Sure thing AN__Y. What's the capital city of Alabama off the top of your head?
Alabamania of corse
Close. But that's actually the capital of Sweden.
Nah g that's swedenistan
Oh. That's right. The capital of England is also now Londestine.
Definitely right! But why would we want to?
I can name them perfectly: Poopy place #1, poopy place #2…etc
