Another map without New Zealand!
But does it have Old Zealand?
Technically, yes. Province in Netherlands, actual name Zeeland.
Isn't this one just cropped?
I need to know the source of this because this has to be fake or trolls because all of those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly and can't be for real
those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly
Correct
and can't be for real
Likely incorrect. You'd be shocked at how profoundly stupid and/or misinformed some people are in a country that routinely robs its public education system to pay churches and private corporations..
This is someone just hitting an iPad leaving a grocery store to move on with their life
Thought process:
"Iran? Like a marathon? That could be anywhere"
Looks like they got Iraan, TX correct
Now that‘s an explanation! They never heard of Iran as a country and thought it was a random-ass city. And since they didn’t know where it was, they guessed the center of the US!
Iraan, TX is a real place, though it's pronounced "Ira-Ann."
Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.
"We're Number 2!"
This has to be a joke right? Some dots are in the ocean
I'd love to think that, but this is America, where basic geography might as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics to most people.
Maybe they're thinking the current Iranian state succeeded Atlantis and they're placing the latter in the Atlantic instead of the Mediterranean, as Dr. Jones correctly did after reading the Hermocrates? ¯\(°_o)/¯
That one person who has it in for Arizona.
No, Jeremy. This is the chart that Ann sneezed on with a mouthful of cheerios.
The actual distribution plot is still in the printer. Go get it.
Quite a few up in Greenland. Maybe this explains Trump's confusion about that.
How many data points you think that is something like 5,177? HAY chatGPT HOW MANY NUKES DOSE AMERICA HAVE?
...
What a wonderful coincidence.
The points chosen so far off from Iran just prove the point in a perverse way. The people are stupid, uneducated, or just willfully being assholes by choosing the wrong places. Just go ahead and lump them together. One set is damaging because of ignorance, the rest due to malice. Pretty much sums up trump and his followers.
That there is (n+1) people who in identifying a desert, Farsi speaking, country chose the ORKNEY ISLANDS...smh
Most of them were fairly close.
Many of them were fairly close, but with 23% in the borders I wouldn't judge that most were, if I look where I think half the dots are it's starting to get quite far into Europe, Africa, India or China. Which imo should all be fairly easy to rule out, but shrug
I tested my US middle school student who, when forced to pick a country on this wikipedia blank world map, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/A_large_blank_world_map_with_oceans_marked_in_blue.PNG picked Ireland.
I did get it right, though uh thank you to reporting from ukraine for your news tied to map animations.
I wonder if this is because they often use an America centered map
