No, I understand that. Maybe my comment was poorly worded. I was just wondering if there were any notable places that could have been on this list in, say, 2020 or so, but can't now.
Singapore feels like one of the hottest places I’ve ever visited, but I think the humidity plays a large role. I guess sea breezes explain Hawaii, but for me, Monaco is the biggest surprise - it’s on the Riviera, it’s absolutely baking down there!
Well, according to Monaco's tourist office the highest temperature ever recorder in the Principality was 37.7°C. They missed the quiz's treshold by 0.1°C.
It's tough to play the innocent victim here. The British took some uninhabited islands. Meanwhile, Argentina was killing, enslaving, and stealing the land of its indigenous people:
Of course, this sort of behavior wasn't particularly unusual for the time period, and I don't blame modern Argentinians for what happened then. But crying victim about a minor thing that happened 200 years ago is weak, especially when that same country was perpetuating atrocities during the same time period.
How is that what QM was saying at all? There literally were not indigenous Falkland Islanders by the time Europeans showed up (although there may have been hundreds of years previously).
