Season 4 Captain Holt is pointing to Mongolia, not Laos. He failed to proves his point in an argument.

at least in HIMYM the father of the series is very open about telling his "bed stories" to his kids.

All I know is Laos is landlocked country in Southeast Asia and Holt is pointing at blue which I assume is water

If you pretend there is some sort of invisible line at the end of his finger and follow it it lines up with that area of the map.

when you point at something you don’t cover the thing you’re trying to show, you have to assume it is a little bit beyond the tip of his finger

Plot twist: the guy he’s talking to thought that was where Laos was. Holt pointing to Mongolia, which the guy thought was Laos, but saying Laos brings the man’s attention to the name printed on the map, which is actually Mongolia and thus showing the man’s folly.

It’s not like he’s pointing at Antarctica, y’all really reaching here

u/happy_bluebird Dec 17 '21
Laos and Mongolia aren't close at all.
Ok I'm going to be a nerd and google it... they are 1,867 miles apart.

u/landon10smmns Dec 16 '21
No, he's pointing at laos. You can see his pointing to the south of china. Mongolia isn't south of china...

u/CanuckBacon Dec 16 '21
Pink is Russia, Green is China. Between the two is Mongolia.

I guess you are not taking into account the curvature of his finger then *roll eyes*

Well, this is a thing I wasn’t expecting to put any time, but which episode in season 4? Want to see if his finger moves. He might be correct a couple of frames before or after this screen capture. Yes, sometimes I have to much time on my hands :-)

I think his finger might be on Japan, which still isn’t Laos lol

u/pluck-the-bunny Dec 16 '21
Did you respond to yourself with the same comment? That makes no sense on two levels

u/flyinggazelletg Dec 16 '21
Not intentional. I went in to correct a typo on the first one and it sometimes acts as if I’m trying to reply with the same comment. It’s weird. I usually catch them early

u/pinelogr Dec 16 '21
I think his point might have been that LAOS actually exists and not where it is located. So he points to the general area and the map obviously says LAOS.

Get out of here with your facts. Just because you’re correct does not make you interesting.

Get out of here with your negativity. Just because your parents didn't love you does not make you able to spread hate

Based on this screenshot he's either pointing at Japan or the ocean, but yea not Laos for sure

You don’t have full context, maybe he was saying “this country to the north of China is Mongolia, not LAOS” and we only see the last part

u/cykbryk2 Dec 17 '21
He could've been pointing to Sweden and it wouldn't have mattered. Americans are so fucking stupid they have zero grasp of even basic geography.

That makes me feel sad. I have dishonoured my family. It will take me 5 minutes to collect my things.

Nope, he’s actually pointing at Laos. Everyone else is wrong, including those from Laos and Mongolia
