On the map only to be excluded from the circle

[–] Caesium@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

it still makes the statement correct

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Something something map projections.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] lemmylemmy@feddit.ch 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thats because the world is flat

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Ah yes, "Mercator Earth Theory" 😂

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Thats the worst circle i have ever seen

But you have seen it!

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

That is just an artifact of the map projection

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

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

New Zealand get your shit together

[–] Kiwi_Girl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Aye aye cap'n

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years 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

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

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

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

Are kiwis really people let's be honest

[–] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well no, they are a fruit.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] lustyargonian@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Mmmm, penguin.

[–] Pissnpink@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] dab@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago
[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 2 years ago

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

[–] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

You’re forgetting New Zealand haha.

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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.

More Gentoo live outside red circle than inside of it.

[–] SinJab0n@mujico.org 2 points 2 years ago

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

Duh....

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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
