The maximum size of a PDF compared to Europe

From wikipedia about PDF:

Page dimensions are not limited by the PDF format itself. However, Adobe Acrobat imposes a limit of 15 million in by 15 million in, or 225 trillion in2 (145,161 km2).

Who cares what Adobe says. Let's just cover the entire earth.

Well, that's just Acrobat's fault for not supporting the spec. How else can I convert Europe to PDF?

1:1 map of the autobahn

Nope. You would probably need several maps to cover them. Those outdated imperial measurements of "15 million inch" are about 380km. Probably three sheets high and two sheets wide.

Charles de Gaul, continuing the train being run on your mother, looks you dead in the eye and reminds you France lost 1.4 million soldiers defeating Germany in World War I

RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 3y

Is he really seen as a great military leader or conqueror? I mean outside of France.

You didn't defeat shit in WW1, and had to be carried by the other allies in WW2

Emperor Charlemagne unifies Western Europe

Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Ah yes, Emperor Karl der Große, a Frankish (Germanic) ruler

So you're saying France later took their land by conquering it from Germanic people? That's the opposite of the message you're trying to send

I realize I'm arguing with someone who's not interested in historical reality over a single WWII stereotype, so this is where I'm going to end it. Thinking that writing Charlemagne's name in modern German means he wasn't a pivotal figure in French history is fucking stupid. The people of France are directly descended from the Gauls and the Franks, the French language was heavily influenced by Latin and Frankish, and French culture and political divisions were heavily influenced by the Carolingian dynasty
