Another map without New Zealand!

[–] StopTech@lemmy.today 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But does it have Old Zealand?

[–] cosmictrickster@lemmy.world 64 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Technically, yes. Province in Netherlands, actual name Zeeland.

Looks like the sequel became a much bigger hit.

[–] cosmictrickster@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Not according to some mapmakers apparently. 😢

[–] Hapankaali@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

New Zealand certainly has the nicer mountains.

New Zealand doesn't exist. Birds and giraffes either.

Isn't this one just cropped?

They often are

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I need to know the source of this because this has to be fake or trolls because all of those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly and can't be for real

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly

Correct

and can't be for real

Likely incorrect. You'd be shocked at how profoundly stupid and/or misinformed some people are in a country that routinely robs its public education system to pay churches and private corporations..

Do you honestly think those data points in the Atlantic are genuine and not trolling?

if it was a fox news poll i'd pick 1600 pennsylvania avenue in DC specifically.

Thought process:

"Iran? Like a marathon? That could be anywhere"

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

🎵 And Iran, Iran so far away-ay-ay 🎵

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

marathon is in greece. i'm pretty sweaty. shower's over there. must be in america

[–] protist@mander.xyz 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks like they got Iraan, TX correct

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Now that‘s an explanation! They never heard of Iran as a country and thought it was a random-ass city. And since they didn’t know where it was, they guessed the center of the US!

[–] protist@mander.xyz 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Iraan, TX is a real place, though it's pronounced "Ira-Ann."

Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.

This has to be a joke right? Some dots are in the ocean

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Buster: ovbiously, the blue part here is land.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd love to think that, but this is America, where basic geography might as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics to most people.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

10th grade history we didn't do history, we did maps and had to memorize all the countries. if we sang the song (without mumbling) we got bonus points.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

maybe they think it's a small island?

Are these schoolchildren? Adults? People in retirement homes? All ages?

That one person who has it in for Arizona.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly, Iran sounds more pleasant.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

hey, i know a couple really nice greek restaurants (and by extension, families) in phoenix. they just made some really big mistakes by moving to phoenix.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Surety these are trolls, especially the ones putting it in the ocean…

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, Jeremy. This is the chart that Ann sneezed on with a mouthful of cheerios.

The actual distribution plot is still in the printer. Go get it.

[–] Una@europe.pub 5 points 1 month ago

I think Iran is its own planet somewhere in andromeda galaxy.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago
[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Most of them were fairly close.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Quite a few up in Greenland. Maybe this explains Trump's confusion about that.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

How many data points you think that is something like 5,177? HAY chatGPT HOW MANY NUKES DOSE AMERICA HAVE?

...

What a wonderful coincidence.

[–] jbellows@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

That there is (n+1) people who in identifying a desert, Farsi speaking, country chose the ORKNEY ISLANDS...smh

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The points chosen so far off from Iran just prove the point in a perverse way. The people are stupid, uneducated, or just willfully being assholes by choosing the wrong places. Just go ahead and lump them together. One set is damaging because of ignorance, the rest due to malice. Pretty much sums up trump and his followers.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Americans are extremely dumb so this does not surprise me at all.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

hey! we may be americans, and we may be extreme, but, uh, what was the third thing you said?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago

In fairless they may of just answered wrong
