so from what google is giving me, this is what i’ve gathered and some of it is contradictory hence why im posting here. i need this to be explained to me like i’m a five year old or i’ll never understand.

– oceania is a continent
– australia is a continent
– oceania is also australia
– but oceania isn’t a continent anymore it’s an area of the earth
– but just kidding australia is a continent inside of the continent known as oceania

W H A T ?
