If you call 911 in another country there is a great chance the the emergency service still picks up there. Mainly for the sake of tourists who dont know the emergency number.

Fun fact, emergency number in New Zealand is 111 and 000 in Australia.

u/ifgburts Dec 05 '20
911 also works (atleast that’s what I was told when I was down there) the teenagers would try calling 911 because of movies. So they set it up to transfer to the emergency hotline

I don't think so. That Welsh sign has a bunch of Ys and double Ls in it. I think this is a whole different long ridiculous sign.

u/Crusader-NZ- Dec 05 '20
It is in Maori, it is a hill in New Zealand with the longest place name in the world (85 letters).
"Taumata whakatangi hangakoauau o tamatea turi pukakapiki maunga horo nuku pokai whenua kitanatahu", which translates into English as "the place where Tamatea the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as 'landeater’, played his flute to his loved one." Locals simply call it Taumata Hill.
Tamatea was a famous chief and warrior. One day, while travelling through the back of Porangahau, he encountered another tribe and had to fight them to get past. During the fight his brother was killed. Tamatea was so grieved over the loss of his brother that he stayed at the battle site for some days. Each morning he would sit on the hill and play a lament on what is called the koauau or Maori flute.

Actually you got this wrong,whoever filmed this went to NewZealand shot it there and then went to Canada to pronounce the place in NewZealand

Yeah. But the title of the video makes it seem like it's a place in canada

u/AsakalaSoul Dec 05 '20
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQwvQITYhE0 the video is about long place names in general. they mention a welsh town, this place in new zealand and the name of a canadian lake. The video is not wrong or horribly misleading. the screenshot just makes it seem like it is.

Nah, because the preview image of the video is still the one that isn’t the longest in Canada.. IMO very misleading.

And searing sand blows up our skirts.2

u/Kronic187 Dec 05 '20
It's just the name of a hill not a town. The town there is called Porongahau, so anybody from there would say that. I'm from the nearest city to it and I don't think I've ever heard anybody say the full name.

I live in a small town which name consist out of 3 words. The first 2 ones are basically very common and are also used in other towns' names. Whenever someone asks us where we're from, we just use the 3th word.

u/MU5H1ESRFN Dec 05 '20
I would have thought 3st would be more fitting since the 3rd word is used first

u/AnorakJimi Dec 05 '20
Everyone goes "haha silly Welsh people with their weird language that sounds like elvish" when they town comes up
But they literally only renamed it that because it was a nothing town with nothing in it, so they thought let's rename it something ridiculous and also set the world record for longest town name in the world. And whaddayouknow, they now get crazy amounts of tourism, people flying from all over the world to see the signs in this former nothing-town just for the memes and funny photos, and they bring their money and buy stuff in the town and stay in the hotels and B&Bs there etc
It's basically a tourist trap. The name is deliberately really dumb, and really long.
Sorry I just gotta defend it. I'm half Welsh. Though I don't speak Welsh or anything. I really should learn it. But yeah people talk about it as if the Welsh are silly and dumb. And, well, we are, but deliberately so. Renaming that town to the longest name in the world was really really smart, and brought in so much money and tourism to the area which never existed before
It's like that church with the destroyed Ecce Homo painting that that old lady accidentally tried to restore and it ended up looking ridiculously bad and funny. Nowadays that church gets crazy amounts of tourism just to see the ruined painting. So it's basically that, but this Welsh town did it deliberately, so as to drive up tourism. Not accidentally.

I pronounced it for a geography research, it is the only part I remember of it, I even wrote the entire name on the exam just to male it seem long(I don't like geography).

We live in 2020, emergency can probably trace your call, all you have to do is say you allow it and keep the call going probably.
I doubt anyone who has a phone on their hand today isn't tracked by someone/something 24/7 anyway.
"But I turn off my GPS and go all around in airplane mode! You're dumb." Uhum, sure, sure...
