This would have more merit if he ever set foot in North America. He landed in the Bahamas. It’s technically part of the North American tectonic plate, but so is part of Iceland.
And there is no causal relation between the discovery of these
Edit: Also: the meme is about potatoes and tomatoes which come from around central America. They aren’t USA exports. The meme is about the discovery of America as in the Americas
And it doesn’t matter, because what is up for dispute is what people mean when they say America. Which is North America, regardless of the actual facts. That’s what colloquial means
Pay attention to what is actually being discussed before running your mouth to make yourself sound smart.
Context matters. When it’s about the discovery of America, it’s the double continent since north and south America were not discovered separately. They are one landmass
Edit: Also you were the one saying “actually America is Nort America so Columbus didn’t discover the real America”. Think about the context before trying to sound smart
Not in the real world where U.S.-centric dumbasses live in their own reality and force everyone else to go along with it with guns and nukes.
You and I both know the term America applies to both continents, but to the NPCs, it doesn’t. That’s literally what colloquialism is – what NPCs say, and that is what was up for dispute. Not the actual facts of the matter.

No, no, you’re clearly confusing me with the other guy because you are angry I called you out on trying and failing to sound smart. Breathe in through your nose, hold 4 seconds, breathe out with your mouth, and read the screen names again.

Because America is only North America?
Yes moron, that is colloquially what it means

He didn’t introduce potatoes or tomatoes to Europe either, that happened decades later.
But as a consequence
By this reasoning it was actually the Queen of Spain that ‘discovered’ the Americas, potatoes, and tomatoes.
It was Columbus who thought the earth is small enough to circuit it

To be clear: in most cases I too use America synonym with USA but to say “Columbus discovered the USA”, well, …
It’s a good thing no one is claiming Columbus discovered the USA then, isn’t it?
Or are you that pathetic and desparate to win an argument on the Internet that you need to use that blatant of a strawman?
No one here is fighting or trying to win anything except you. Grow the fuck up.
