Hey, at least you made it on the map.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Aw come on, bro...

Be nice!

[–] Amazinghorse 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

On the map only to be excluded from the circle

[–] Caesium 14 points 1 year ago

it still makes the statement correct

Something something map projections.

[–] Wogi 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Wogi 2 points 1 year ago

Hey less than half of us voted for Fanta. He just won because coke managed to take over most of the end cap displays.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats because the world is flat

[–] GrammatonCleric 6 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, "Mercator Earth Theory" 😂

[–] Mango 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Siegfried 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thats the worst circle i have ever seen

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

But you have seen it!

[–] Everythingispenguins 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is just an artifact of the map projection

New Zealand get your shit together

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Aye aye cap'n

[–] kaffiene 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Are kiwis really people let's be honest

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well no, they are a fruit.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] hakunawazo 9 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] beebarfbadger 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

You’re forgetting New Zealand haha.

[–] UltraMagnus0001 7 points 1 year ago
[–] AeonFelis 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

Crabs, deep sea squids, coral polyps, and sea sponges are all people now.

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

Ah this meme makes me nostalgic for back before everyone else got on the internet.

Red circle map, you were joy back in the day

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, if we can't see the circle that means its a really big one, so.....

Duh....
