Hey, at least you made it on the map.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Aw come on, bro...

Be nice!

[-] Amazinghorse@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I do believe there is a sub on that other site called Maps without New Zealand..

[-] Pissnpink@feddit.uk 27 points 11 months ago

On the map only to be excluded from the circle

[-] Caesium@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

it still makes the statement correct

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 49 points 11 months ago
[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 39 points 11 months ago

Something something map projections.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

This is a common misconception, this circle is actually a straight line around the globe and the "inside" includes Antarctica and new Zealand. And because there's a race of fully sentient crab people living under the kiwis and totaling 800 billion in number, the map is correct.

Weird that they vote though

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Those crabs fought hard for their freedom to vote. We killed soo many of them through our backwards beliefs that now the war is over we are one of the biggest butter exporters in the world. We can only hope we have learned more than just how to use a skillet.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Dude they waddle sideways in to the voting booth and unanimously vote for can of creamed crab for overlord of New Zealand. If that was a real position or person y'all would be driving sideways to work

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well Americans waddled sideways in and voted for a can of Fanta... at least creamed crab doesn't start civil unrest.

Actually... it might. Scratch that

Thats because the world is flat

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Ah yes, "Mercator Earth Theory" 😂

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, we don't even have a name for whateverthefuck shape India is!

[-] Poggervania@kbin.social 28 points 11 months ago

Fun fact: every 1 in 2 people make up 50% of the world population.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

Thats the worst circle i have ever seen

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 14 points 11 months ago

But you have seen it!

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That is just an artifact of the map projection

New Zealand get your shit together

[-] Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Aye aye cap'n

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Yeah? Well at least in NZ we know how to draw a freaking circle. Didn't want to be in your stinky club anyway

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Are kiwis really people let's be honest

[-] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 18 points 11 months ago

Well no, they are a fruit.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

Those "fruits" you've been eating were birds. :(

[-] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

They can't fly so they don't count. Sorry I don't make the rules

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Mmmm, penguin.

[-] Pissnpink@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No they're the birds eggs. Little known fact.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 16 points 11 months ago

I know the author is Terrible Maps so I probably shouldn't complain, but what are those continent colour groupings?

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

They're not grouped, that's what the planet actually looks like from space.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

Can't believe I made such a foolish blunder in front of the head of NASA, my apologies doctor

I wonder how many people live outside the red circle and have to commute to work within it.

[-] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

This is false. The red circle is too small to fit more than maybe a couple fetuses, depending on your screen size.

I mean, considering this map excludes Antarctica, and there are people living (at least temporarily) in Antarctica, it is technically true.

[-] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago

You’re forgetting New Zealand haha.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 12 points 11 months ago

Also New Zealand, but I've heard that the science is still out about whether or not they actually exist.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 9 points 11 months ago

We don't, it's a psy-op.

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago
[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Can "in" and "out" be meaningfully defined though, considering that circle is on a globe though?

That is true. As far as I know, nobody lives on my phone screen.

How tall is the red wall? If it's only at sea level than this is entirely false, most people's would be above it.
