The original idea behind the political concept "Eurafrica" (strategic partnership between Africa & Europe), while originated in Germany, has no specific connection to Germany today. It is used as a political term once in a while (especially in France, due to their connections to Africa). Read the wikipedia entry if you want to know more.

But none of this has any relevance to this meme, because here Eurafrica is just used as a portmanteau of "Europe" and "Africa" without any further connection to the political concept of the same name.

He also listed uninhabited Australian islands and a US military base on an otherwise uninhabited UK island as separate countries. So I would guess China decided that the country list is basically meaningless.

Except Porsche did continue to develop military vehicles after WW2. The Leopard 1 was a Porsche design. Porsche dropping out of the military industry was not an effect of post-war politics but a business decision that happened much later.

Not sure if this is a joke, but in case it is not: the relevant part of the post is not the highlighted sentence, but what comes right after that.

All countries associated with the European Broacast Union can participate.

Theoretically yes, but associated members (in contrast to full members) still need to be approved on a case by case basis.

Active members (as opposed to associate members) of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) are eligible to participate; [...]. Associate member broadcasters may be eligible to compete, dependent on approval by the contest's reference group.[49]

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union, which includes basically all countries in the European Broadcasting Area (basically Europe + all of the Mediterranean). Those include Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Armenia, etc. They have always been allowed to participate. Australia is an outlier. They just got a special invitation.

In Europe, use of mail hauberks continued up through the 14th century, when plate armor began to supplant it. Some knights continued to wear chain hauberks, however, underneath plate armor.[13] It remained in usage until the Renaissance.[10]

Translated from german with DeepL:

Milanese armour was characterised by its round, bulky shape and asymmetrical construction. A full suit of chain mail was also usually worn underneath the Milanese armour. In Germany, the Gothic armour was predominant, as well as later on the cuirass. The Gothic armour was characterised by its slimmer and more delicate construction. In addition, a complete chain mail shirt was rarely worn under the Gothic armour; more often, chain mail pieces were attached to the doublet in such a way that they covered the weak points of the armour.

Here is an example picture of a Milanese Armour: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giano_II_di_Campofregoso#/media/File%3AHJRK_A_11_-_Armour_of_Giano_II_di_Campofregoso.jpg

It is supposed to block the blows that go between the plates, not reinforce the plate itself. A lighter alternative that developed later is patches of chainmail only between the plates.

Mail armour is a layer of protective clothing worn most commonly from the 9th to the 13th century, though it would continue to be worn under plate armour until the 15th century.

In the chapter "Late Middle Ages":

In armoured techniques taught in the German school of swordsmanship, the attacker concentrates on these "weak spots", resulting in a fighting style very different from unarmoured sword-fighting. Because of this weakness, most warriors wore a mail shirt (haubergeon or hauberk) beneath their plate armour (or coat-of-plates). Later, full mail shirts were replaced with mail patches, called gussets, which were sewn onto a gambeson or arming jacket.

Not sure how it is in Oblivion, but in real life (depending on the period) plate was often worn on top of chainmail, so it was indeed heavier than just chainmail alone.

There is an even simpler way: the text assumes that the cannonball only transforms after it passed the ring. If you rule that it instantly transforms when in contact with or near the ring, then the whole thing just bursts.

He was 23. Just saying, before somebody imagines an actual kid.

However, no Roman text describes such a gesture, and the Roman works of art that display salutational gestures bear little resemblance to the modern "Roman" salute.

It's not even Roman.
