What is going on in this person's brain? Do they think the magnetic poles impact a person's accent? Being closer to the equator makes you sound more like a hick or what lmao
Ah yes studying Arabic in Mexico will help me develop an Algerian accent because of the latitude
Oh dear god I think he first learned Taiwan has a different accent, and separately learned that it's in the south, so therefore there would be a southern accent and mentally melded the two together as Taiwanese have a hillbilly accent
He then learned the University of Tokyo has a good Mandarin course, and it's on the same level latitude as Beijing, so he would get a proper northerner accent.
If this is real, this guy is incredible

It's like a few months ago when discussing the Napoleon film with my friend, she had previously learned that Napoleon was exiled to an island (twice) and also that he was defeated at Waterloo, so she assumed The Battle of Waterloo was either entirely a naval battle or naval with some aspects on an island. She then said she hasn't watched the film but will eventually because she enjoyed the naval battles in Pirates of the Caribbean so she wants to see Ridley Scott's take on the Battle of Waterloo.
"You... You've conflated two completely unrelated facts about this one subject in your head. Waterloo was not a naval battle"
"He was on an island when he lost?"
"No he was exiled to an isla- wait, did you think Waterloo was on the water because "water" is in the name?"
"He was defeated and died on the island? Was it not a naval battle?"
"Those are two completely different events"
dutch claims another victim. we can't let them get away with this!
Does your friend believe that Cat Stevens wrote the song "Cat's in the Cradle?"
hes a nordicist (hence the "ethnic german") and wants to stay in the higher latitudes
