This is cursed

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 37 points 1 year ago

At least they didn’t forget New Zealand this time

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

They did drop the UK though, not that anyone would miss us.. 😂

[-] Vittelius@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

What do you mean? The UK is right there, land bridge to France and everything.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I knew a pedant would get me lol

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

It looks like Cornwall made the cut.

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah yes, Paris, my favorite Finnish city. Very easy to get to since we drained the English Channel.

[-] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

It always did have gorgeous views of the Baltic lake

[-] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, the famous Baltic Lake

[-] SrTobi@feddit.de 27 points 1 year ago

At least it didn't forget New Zealand

[-] scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Is there a maps without New Zealand community yet?

[-] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Ah yes... India.

The island country next to Africa.

[-] rmuk@feddit.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Where did you think it was? On it's own subcontinent attached to the south of Asia, where the landmass of Mediterranean is?

[-] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Pfft... that's just ridiculous.

Next you'll be telling me the Himalayas are actually a result of said subcontinent crashing into the main Asian continent.

[-] hydroel@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I just can't get enough of that Mediterranean lentil dahl.

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Say what you will about the map, at least there's no England.

[-] lol3droflxp@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

A small price to pay

[-] unagi@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Or no canal between UK and EU?

[-] cynetri@midwest.social 23 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, New York south of Texas

[-] Ferris@infosec.pub 8 points 1 year ago

India, the island off Africa

[-] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

Cursed Canadian Greenland

[-] hardware26@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 year ago

Don't be so hard on them, Australia is spot on.

[-] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

There's also a New Zeland, so that's nice

[-] Maultasche@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

They even remembered Tasmania.

[-] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

So.... Aussie geography then?

[-] protist@mander.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

I'm going to wager that decal was designed and manufactured in a non-English speaking country. Everyone knows where Texas and Canada are

[-] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago

Nah I don't think the language/location gap can explain this ignorance. You can onlt find this in a Graphic Designer.

[-] lambda@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

My thoughts too. An American would probably mess up the rest of the world, but would nail canada, America, and south America lol

[-] weedazz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's not just about the labels, the landmasses themselves are cursed

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Wait... it's not a Photoshop?

Artic Ocean

Since when was Canada a land mass island?

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't it be Iceland? Or is that for the ice part of that region? Or is it the other way round.

[-] olicvb@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Other way around, iceland is the small island next to it, and Greenland is the big frozen mass labelled canada here.

here have a picture

Ok who is responsible for naming this? I need to know

[-] olicvb@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

National Geographic did an article on that

[-] flubba86@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've always remembered it like this:

Greenland is icy, Iceland is green.

[-] Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago
[-] okrubbish@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

and I'm guessing "Anardica" is hidden behind those condiments

[-] 3TH4Li4@feddit.ch 12 points 1 year ago

Damn.. what happened to India ಥ_ಥ it shrunk in the wash

[-] zzzzz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Like a frightened turtle!

[-] parsa@social.tchncs.de 8 points 1 year ago

@Zerush
They know where Africa is! Surprised!

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Although with a very wrong size, same with South America.

[-] ArdMacha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The blue Europe over Africa is very wrong indeed

[-] gon@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

This is beautiful.

[-] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Poor Hokkaido lost a lot of weight, apparently. A little matchstick Hokkaido + Kurils + Sakhalin

[-] Ukuli@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago
[-] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

According to this map, you mean Korea.
