    I was told two hours ago that Antarctica is bigger than all other continents combined, when I said that’s not possible I was told to google it.

      It’s the largest desert, and bigger than all other deserts combined (if you don’t count the arctic as a desert, since it’s [mostly] floating ice). That’s the best explanation of their mistake.

      Fyi, I did Google it. Antarctica is the 4th biggest, after Asia, North America, and South America. It’s also the 3rd smallest.
