Amusing: Earth sandwich 🌍 (or, if you like: cross-continental collaboration)

In 2020, Etienne Naude, a student from Auckland, New Zealand, and Angel Sierra, a chef from Spain, together created an "Earth sandwich" by placing slices of bread at exact antipodal points - that is, exactly on opposite sides of the Earth.

They used online tools to calculate the exact locations, and the distance between them was about 12,724 km through the Earth, or about 20,000 km along the surface.

They faced challenges like a 12-hour time difference and coordinating the type of bread, but eventually managed to create a symbol of global cooperation.

The project shows how simple ideas can connect people across geographic and cultural borders. And also that there's no limit to the silliness boys are capable of.
