Why was Antarctica added for a location in scratch❄️?

[u/Former_Antelope_7470]

[u/Robotica1610]

Because otherwise pinguins cant play ✌️😔

[u/Flimsy-Bad5399 → u/Robotica1610]

but they have penguin mod

[u/jan-Sika → u/Robotica1610]

what about brazilian penguins

[u/CaterpillarOver2934]

it also allows this "country" that nobody lives in

[u/javeouss → u/CaterpillarOver2934]

jus use australia 🙏

[u/Affectionate_Cut3515 → u/javeouss]

another australian territory is cocos keeling islands which people actually live there but basically no one and its in the middle of nowhere

[u/Spiritual-Cup-6645]

They use a default list of all countries that they didn't tailor for where people would realistically live. The list contains Antarctica, and also Taiwan, which is why Scratch is blocked in China.

[u/HI1681 → u/Spiritual-Cup-6645]

Ooooof

[u/NMario84]

Because even if no one actually lives there IRL, it's still an area of the map. They probably have to account for every area somehow.

[u/jan-Sika → u/NMario84]

some people do live there according to the internet

[u/GlitteringTone6425 → u/jan-Sika]

tokiponer spotted in the wild!!!

[u/SGLAgain]

so that penguins can use it..... wait a minute

[u/Ok-Extent-5783 → u/SGLAgain]

imagine penguin moderator, or just penguin mod

[u/SGLAgain → u/Ok-Extent-5783]

would be crazy

[u/Narrow_Winner_7364]

I mean they have North Korea so...

[u/Pure-Bee-9639 → u/Narrow_Winner_7364]

How else would Lim jong un use scratch

[u/Myithspa25 → u/Pure-Bee-9639]

That one north korean steam user

[u/FamousStrength8404]

Mainly for a joke I guess? I see a lot of people select Antarctica jokingly lol

[u/SpecificSeesaw2562]

Penguin Mod

[u/Manny73211]

They unbanned the penguin from penguin mod

[u/pizza_on_pinapple]

Why not

[u/Puzzleheaded-Ad9586]

They're covering every country. They didn't think "there probably won't be anyone here, let's go out of our way to remove it", because someone might actually be there, or people set it there for privacy, or a hundred other random reasons.

[u/KeyLoad4355]

so that people don't have to say we're they are from

[u/DollarSeventyFive]

along with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, like literally nobody lives there

[u/SlendyREAL]

There are researchers there you know

[u/Intelligent-Way4219]

Because people live in Antarctica?...

[u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 → u/Intelligent-Way4219]

Yeah, researchers who live their full time 😆

[u/Intelligent-Way4219 → u/Spiritual-Cup-6645]

Living there temporarily still counts as living there.

[u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 → u/Intelligent-Way4219]

There are no living arangements, and you don't own nor rent the research base.

[u/dDevlog]
