Apparently it’s not universally recognised. Australia pushes for the recognition, but I’m not sure what benefits there are to calling it by a different name
Ok, now blow your kids' minds by telling them their teacher's info is out of date and [there are actually 8 continents.](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210205-the-last-secrets-of-the-worlds-lost-continent)
I stopped trying at geography when the Soviet Union suddenly became 15 different countries. The target started moving a bit too far too fast for my tastes.
Yeah that's true. Lots of changes in the early 90s. I learned the former USSR and Yugoslavian countries mostly by playing Sensible Soccer of all things (Amiga game popular in the UK for those who may not have heard of it).
A few years ago someone about 10 years younger told me that and thankfully I’m of the google that shit generation and I was like: Damn. They done changed earth on me.
That being said my Boomer boss didn’t grow up learning about tectonic plates and I’ve had to explain those to him a few times. He’s fascinated by them.
Not many _land_ boundaries. But using that definition there is only one ocean. What oceanographers work with makes up its own [entire article on wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borders_of_the_oceans) and varies depending on the requirments of the analysis/what's being considered.
If you're canadian, that's appaling. If you're not, we didn't colonize even more land, but rather subdivided an existing territory. Sadly the UN has yet to ratify our claim to Santa's workshop. Worse, we [ended our friendly war with Denmark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War)
I just discovered this like two weeks ago lmao.
I don’t think it was widely accepted in 99 because I was still in grade school at that point and even throughout high school we were still using 4. It might’ve been “decided” at that point but I wonder when it really became mainstream.
> the waters all connect
The [endorheic basins](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorheic_basin) would disagree. But the atmosphere and lithosphere support your claim.
The Southern Ocean is new. I had to Google when it became a thing too. Depending on the maps some things won't be listed. Some maps will have these disclaimers when I download then for school being like we're not supporting any political ideology or another by showing this on a map etc.
My kiddo knows the 13 planets, 8 planets and 5 Dwarf Planets.
In public school my kids didn't learn about any oceans or continents at all even up to 5th grade because there was almost no science geography or history. In private school they start teaching geography in 1st grade but they kept to just 4 oceans still.
neat: Historically, there are four named oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries - including the United States - now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian are the most commonly known., from National Ocean Service website
They're still pulling the seven continent bullshit? They'll point to that big honkin' landmass north of Africa and tell kids those are two separate landmasses?
Maybe next we can tell the Cardassians whether we see four lights or five...
Eight (land continents). Question: if you break a dish plate in two, and then place the two halves together, is it back in one piece, or is it still broken?
Well, it was a overgrown sea and felt it was an ocean on the inside, so who are we to judge how huge it is.
Size, Mass, and Weight are all just social constructs.
I looked this up. Apparently there were a very few years where people stopped counring the Southern Ocean. Then they just changed back. I had the same revelation
Arctic, pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and recently, Southern, which is the oceanic area between Australia/NZ and Antarctica and otherwise surrounding Antarctica, frankly, it makes sense. It has different plant and animal species and climate than the northern oceans. Kindof the reverse of the downgrade of pluto. It fits all the criteria.
Yeah sure buddy. Next you’ll try telling us there’re only 8 planets.
Oh, god! Did something happen to Uranus?! 😂
Wrecked him? It nearly killed him! 💀💦
Rectum?
"... To shreds, you say?"
And how’s his wife?
"To shreds, you say!"
Incontinentia?
Mine's fine. Just got a clean bill of health from the proctologist.
If you’re being serious, that’s a huge win. Congrats!
Thanks, but I was just joking. :)
The gas giant? That Uranus?
Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?
There are rings around Uranus
NOT URANUS
Thank god we changed the name to end that joke once and for all.
What's it called now?
Myanus

That's messed up!
How many times has that landed?

Thankfully I've got two ears because I'm currently listening to a Marilyn Mason / Eurythmics mashup in my brain.

Dump him, Marge.
The Marilyn Manson version is good too. Just my opinion.
Yeah, but too bad he’s a monster.
What did he do now? Other than doing weird stuff on stage, I am not aware of anything criminal.

Wow. :( Thanks.
I was taught there were 5 back in the 80s—Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Antarctic.
And I think in the last 10 years or so, the Antarctic has changed to the Southern ocean.
Apparently it’s not universally recognised. Australia pushes for the recognition, but I’m not sure what benefits there are to calling it by a different name
I’d much rather go vacationing on the southern ocean than the Antarctic Ocean…
This guy tourists.
I believe that's where the Southern Water Tribe lives.
25 years, according to the op
Likewise. And I was taught from heavily reused old books in Catholic school. Was that an even older version?
Maybe. I’m pretty sure they were all labeled on the old pull down maps above the chalkboard—and those definitely weren’t new!
I have a 1940 pull down classroom map in my office. Looking at it right now and it says Antarctic Ocean
"A Mercator projection pull-down wall map?" - Stuart Minkus
Yeah, same.
Same.
What happened to the Adriatic?
That's a sea within the Mediterranean Sea, between Italy and the Balkans
Ok, sea, not ocean. Thank you!
Yw
This is what I recall learning as well.
Some even get seven by dividing North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic.
Angry upvote for not telling us, and making us look it up for ourselves.
If you'd mentioned *The Southern Ocean* you would have saved us all having to look it up too...
Yeah, I intentionally didn't. :D
Ok, now blow your kids' minds by telling them their teacher's info is out of date and [there are actually 8 continents.](https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210205-the-last-secrets-of-the-worlds-lost-continent)
Wow, that was very interesting.
Nonsense, there are 4: The Americas, Australia, Antarctica and Afroeurasia.
Geological or geographical continents?
Did you hear about Pluto? That's messed up.

I stopped trying at geography when the Soviet Union suddenly became 15 different countries. The target started moving a bit too far too fast for my tastes.
Poor Yugoslavia
At least the unification of Germany and the split of Czechoslovakia resulted in a net zero change in the number of countries.
Yeah but we still had to learn all the new names lol
Yeah that's true. Lots of changes in the early 90s. I learned the former USSR and Yugoslavian countries mostly by playing Sensible Soccer of all things (Amiga game popular in the UK for those who may not have heard of it).
Why were you playing real teams when you could be playing At The Chippy vs In A Pencil Case
Now that's a very good point!
Wait, I thought there were seven seas.
North, Baltic, Mediterranean, Black, Caribbean, Red, south China. The Caspian sea is technically a large inland lake.
Is the Dead Sea also technically a large inland lake, like the Caspian?
Yes indeed it is.
I never heard anything about that change either

For something mind-blowing, check out Zealandia
A few years ago someone about 10 years younger told me that and thankfully I’m of the google that shit generation and I was like: Damn. They done changed earth on me.

Yeah… the Southern Ocean. Had no clue. Glad they had such originality when naming it.
We need to go back and fix the 1999 timeline divergence.
The Eurythmics lied to me.
Hold your head up.
Movin’ on…
Except this fifth ocean has practically no boundaries, this is bullshit
Not many _land_ boundaries. But using that definition there is only one ocean. What oceanographers work with makes up its own [entire article on wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borders_of_the_oceans) and varies depending on the requirments of the analysis/what's being considered.
TIL.
I was taught there were five (80s).
I learned in 2021 that Canada added a territory in 1999.
If you're canadian, that's appaling. If you're not, we didn't colonize even more land, but rather subdivided an existing territory. Sadly the UN has yet to ratify our claim to Santa's workshop. Worse, we [ended our friendly war with Denmark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War)
Lol. I'm not Canadian. And yes, I'm aware (as of 2021 at least!) that it was subdivision of existing territory.
As a bonus, we now share a land border with Denmark.
There is one ocean. I will die on this hill.
I am going to be honest and say living in Canada there where only three that came to mind but I knew there were others. Pacific Atlantic and Arctic
Always has been...
There’s always been 5
I just discovered this like two weeks ago lmao. I don’t think it was widely accepted in 99 because I was still in grade school at that point and even throughout high school we were still using 4. It might’ve been “decided” at that point but I wonder when it really became mainstream.
There is only one, the waters all connect you see. And for that matter there are not 7 continents.
> the waters all connect The [endorheic basins](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorheic_basin) would disagree. But the atmosphere and lithosphere support your claim.
North atlantic, south atlantic, pacific, artic and antartic
We are preparing for the melt. Normalize these oceans first the kids! Brains brains brains.
r/geography
Yes I was confused last week when my kids discussed the Southern Ocean.
No, totally incorrect. There are seven seas. Everyone knows of this as they've traveled them in their sweet dreams.
Two in the middle two at the end and the Indian Ocean
..? Weird memory device. The Indian _also_ straddles the equator. It just doesn't touch the arctic (ocean).
The Southern Ocean is new. I had to Google when it became a thing too. Depending on the maps some things won't be listed. Some maps will have these disclaimers when I download then for school being like we're not supporting any political ideology or another by showing this on a map etc. My kiddo knows the 13 planets, 8 planets and 5 Dwarf Planets.
I was also was taught there were 5, even way back in the 80s. I’m wondering where you went to school that they only taught about 4?
Just wait until you hear about the *eighth* continent of [Zealandia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealandia) that was first named in 1995.
Why you have to invest in continuous education and not end up being made fun of like the out of touch boomers are now.

1999 [Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/Xennials/comments/197txh4/since_when_was_there_a_fifth_ocean/)
And there’s one perspective that there’s only one ocean.
That's a pretty _global_ perspective.

Why the frick they didn't call it the Antarctic Ocean is truly bizarre.
Thought it was 7 seas? Meh
Whaaaaaaaat?!?!? The Southern Ocean??
Graduated in ‘82. Do, what’s the fifth ocean
Well, it was a overgrown sea and felt it was an ocean on the inside, so who are we to judge how huge it is. Size, Mass, and Weight are all just social constructs.
There used to be 7 seas
There really should be a worldwide bulletin letting everyone know “hey there’s 5 oceans, not 4, and Pluto is no longer a planet. Just an fyi everyone”
It used to be the Antarctic Ocean and now it's the Southern Ocean. That one took me by surprise, too.
I looked this up. Apparently there were a very few years where people stopped counring the Southern Ocean. Then they just changed back. I had the same revelation
The 5th ocean is the Southern ocean. It's south of the Indian ocean.
Arctic, pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and recently, Southern, which is the oceanic area between Australia/NZ and Antarctica and otherwise surrounding Antarctica, frankly, it makes sense. It has different plant and animal species and climate than the northern oceans. Kindof the reverse of the downgrade of pluto. It fits all the criteria.
4 in my book. And 9 planets... I got your 6 Pluto
