Yeah honestly my first thought was 'Wait there is a tectonic plate just for Dalmacija? I don't remember that one.'
Can I impress dog-lovers by mentioning microplates?
Laika is a breed? Thought it was just the USSR space dog's name.
Both!
And Laika wasn't a Laika
"Lai" also means "bark" in russian, so they just named the dog Barky before yeeting into space
Barky McBarkface
And Laika wasnโt a Laika
Both in breed and name.
The Chihuahua mass extinction event (and crater)
That explains why only the smaller ones survived
They annoyed the asteroid to death.
'The mountains near here formed when the ... Newfoundland ... microplate collided with, uhh ... Labrador.' 'Ok, now you're definitely just naming dogs.' 'Wait, no, that's actually almost correct.'
Bedrock is unbreakable, who tf abused creative mod here?
Do you fall through space until the y-axis sign flips?
Then presumably you fall from the sky and strike the ground at a very high speed. Do they implement terminal velocity?
"unbreakable" unless you follow any of several guides. The new method which doesn't use TNT is easier
Can you obtain it tho?
