Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

At first this map seemed perfectly fine to me, but the more I look the weirder it gets.

  • The projection used (Mollweide?) distorts the hell out of Europe, Iceland is practically a smear.
  • Thailand is gone.
  • Crimea seems missing.
  • Is Japan a bit shrunk?
  • They must have screwed up mounting Africa because the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are WAY too big
