Maybe I've always lived in the reality you entered because I never thought it was Rio. Doesn't Brasilia also have a design that looks like a plane?

Dumbass college educated Jennifer Love Hewitt got nearly everyone killed because she got that answer wrong.

Brasil is how it's spelled in Portuguese, and Brasilia is the name of the city.

It's the same situation with Australia and Sidney rather than Canberra, ot even Canada with Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver instead of Ottawa

Rio was the capital, once, but then the govt decided they wanted the interior to be developed like the coastal towns and arbitrarily founded a new city in the middle of nowhere to be the capital lol

Far too often people call things the Mandela effect when it's literally just our memories being flawed. Which happens a lot.

Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil until 1960, when Brasilia was built to become the new capital.

Brasilia is a planned city too. It was built to make the roads in the main area look like an airplane. Geographically its very symmetrical; which I like.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Not necessarily going to speak for hockeybub89, but it may be the fact that Juneau isn't the largest city in Alaska, nor is it in a prominent location, . . . or, for that matter, the bit where it isn't even connected by ROAD to ANYPLACE ELSE in Alaska . . .

And yet it's still the state capital.
