Pangea is by far the most famous and the most recent supercontinent. Spanning from the Pennsylvanian epoch, the second one in the Carboniferous period to the early Jurassic period, This supercontinent allowed animals and plants to spread and roam all over the land. It has been proven that fossils around this time were pretty much global and not restricted to specific continents. It formed with the closure of the Rheic Ocean and broke apart with the opening of the Atlantic Ocean.
Before Pangea, there were two continents called Laurasia and Gondwana (sometimes called Gondwanaland), and after Pangea broke apart, there were two continents too, also called well... Laurasia and Gondwana. The early Laurasia and Gondwana are sometimes called Paleolaurasia and Paleogondwana to prevent mixup of the names.
The name of Pangea originated from Greek where Pan means all and Gaia means earth. The name of Laurasia is made from concatenating the names of the Laurentia Craton (Today's North America) and Asia. Gondwana means "Land of Gonds (a tribe in India)".

Living in Pangea would be like living together with your friends wherever you go and not having to cross oceans with ships or planes.

Get the Pangeamug. An MTR line that originates from its terminus at Kennedy Town and ends at its other terminus at Chai Wan.
History:
1985 - Island Line from Admiralty to Chai Wan is built, where Admiralty and Central are interchange stations with Tsuen Wan Line.
1986 - Island Line is extended west to Sheung Wan via Central.
1989 - Kwun Tong Line is extended across Victoria Harbour to Quarry Bay station.
2001 - Kwun Tong Line is further extended to North Point to relieve the congestion in Quarry Bay.
2002 - Tseung Kwan O Line takes over the section of Kwun Tong Line from North Point to just south of Lam Tin. The interchange stations remain in place.
2014 - Island Line is extended west to Kennedy Town, with a new station HKU.
2015 - Sai Ying Pun station is added later between HKU and Sheung Wan due to a construction delay.

Get the Island Linemug. Looks like "что это", "what's this" in Russian. It may be seen when a Russian server player has the US keyboard and does not have the same characters. This is the most likely result.
A Russian dude: 4to 3to
A US dude: wot?
The Russian dude: Aw frick, I forgot to switch my keyboard lol
Also the Russian dude 1 minute later: что это
The US dude: Communist detected on American soil. Lethal force engaged.

Get the 4to 3tomug. Paleontology is the study of geological events before (sometimes including) the Holocene Epoch which we currently live in. It includes the study of ancient organisms, extinction events, and changes to the Earth.

Get the Paleontologymug. An MTR line that originates from its terminus at Whampoa and ends at its other terminus at Tiu Keng Leng.
History:
1979 - Modified Initial System from Kwun Tong to Tsim Sha Tsui is built.
1980 - Modified Initial System from Tsim Sha Tsui to Chater, including its cross-harbour section, is built.
1982 - Modified Initial System is divided into Tsuen Wan Line and Kwun Tong Line, with Waterloo and Argyle stations being interchange stations between the two lines. Kowloon Tong station becomes an interchange station with the KCR British Section. Prince Edward Station is built, being a third interchange station with the Tsuen Wan Line.
1985 - Waterloo and Argyle stations are renamed to Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok respectively.
1989 - Kwun Tong Line from Kwun Tong to Quarry Bay, including its cross-harbour section, is built along with Lam Tin station. Quarry Bay Station becomes an interchange station with the Island Line.
2001 - Kwun Tong Line from Quarry Bay to North Point is built.
2002 - Tseung Kwan O Line from North Point to Po Lam is built, taking over part of the Kwun Tong Line, including its cross-harbour extension. Kwun Tong Line is rerouted to interchange with the Tseung Kwan O Line at Yau Tong and Tiu Keng Leng stations.

Get the Alt+F4mug. Rodinia is a relatively famous supercontinent that existed towards the end of the Proterozoic Eon. Nevertheless, many people don't know it. It existed from the Stenian period to right before the Cryogenian period encompassing nearly all of the Tonian period.
It was almost exactly on the opposite side of where Pangea formed. It turned inside out during the Cryogenian period to become Pannotia, leaving out exposed rocks that sucked up carbon dioxide, thus causing a snowball earth. Pannotia somehow still didn't make it into the Phanerozoic Eon.
Rodinia wasn't by itself unlike other supercontinents. It had a continent to the west of it as its companion. Made of parts of South America and Africa, this continent was called Congo. While Rodinia turned itself inside out, Congo got caught in between the two halves, completing Pannotia.

Jack who lives in eastern South America: Bruh, my point 800 million years ago was in Congo and not in the rest of Rodinia. Why were the bacteria that lived where I am not able to party with everyone else until 720 million years ago? I feel bad for them.
Kate who lives in western Africa: The bacteria that lived where I am partied with the bacteria that lived where you are for billions of years! Don't feel bad when it comes to paleogeography or paleontology. There are always good things behind terrible extinction events and isolation from everyone else.
