This is cursed

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least they didn’t forget New Zealand this time

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Vittelius@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I knew a pedant would get me lol

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It looks like Cornwall made the cut.

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 12 points 2 years ago

It always did have gorgeous views of the Baltic lake

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, the famous Baltic Lake

[–] SrTobi@feddit.de 27 points 2 years ago

At least it didn't forget New Zealand

[–] ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes... India.

The island country next to Africa.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years 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.

[–] cynetri@midwest.social 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah yes, New York south of Texas

[–] Ferris 7 points 2 years ago

India, the island off Africa

[–] hydroel@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] lol3droflxp@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

A small price to pay

[–] unagi@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

Or no canal between UK and EU?

[–] hardware26@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Maultasche@feddit.de 10 points 2 years ago

They even remembered Tasmania.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] 3TH4Li4@feddit.ch 12 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Artic

[–] okrubbish@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] parsa@social.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

@Zerush
They know where Africa is! Surprised!

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] ArdMacha@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The blue Europe over Africa is very wrong indeed

[–] gon@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

This is beautiful.

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Ukuli@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Made in Chyna.

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

According to this map, you mean Korea.
