How the fuck do you cram 257 rivers into a space that size? Like, we can’t even manage the Colorado (no, the other one … how we have one flowing through Austin escapes me).
I don’t know what counts as a major stream, but usually streams are smaller than creeks, and creeks can be pretty small. So if there are 255 water courses that are smaller than creeks… I can see it.
That’s a wildly incomplete list. I guess if you’re out east, that might feel like a full list, but if you’ve ever lived somewhere with arroyos, you’ve never experienced brooks or runs. I mean, short of Mel Brooks and having diarrhea.
There’s an old joke about growing up in Phoenix: That one does not associate rivers or bridges with water.

Why can’t we just make it an even 256?
It’s zero indexed
Motherfuckers.
Crimea has a mountain range up south, really close to the sea, so it has a bunch of really short rivers. Chile is the same.
That said the river from the “Crimea river” meme is the Salğır/Салгир:
Oh cry me a river! I get it! Ukrainian humor prevails! Take that putin!
…and major streams. Don’t forget major streams!
I don’t know shit though, I just pulled that from Wikipedia to support a really bad pun.🤣
I think “major streams” are more generally referred to as “rivers.”
Maybe it’s a translation issue, we have
…
Maybe they just have the 2 words so there’s information lost in translation?
