Speaking of gross German food, I'm surprised no one has mentioned spargel. I cannot wait till spargel season is over.

Asparagus grown under trash bags and dirt for three years. It is served with everything drowning in butter and hollandaise sauce.

Spargel is loving delicious. Spargelsalat, Spargelcremesuppe, Spargel mit Butter, Spargel im Schinkenmantel, heck you can even get an amazing Spargelburger here or Flammkuchen with Spargel 🤤

Saladman posted:Everything I see is more or less accurate? Like edges are rounded and tapered more and don't represent the exact boundary, but literally every country in the entire world is drawn like that so it's internally consistent. I don't think it's meant to be a map so precise that you could set national borders based on it. I think people's eyes are just drawn to it as an error because all the "straight line" divisions look fine, and straight line division provinces tend to be the biggest ones in the world thanks to US/Canada/Australia/Sahara/Greenland. If you zoom in really far, you'll notice the borders in Europe are just as wonky as the ones in DRC and China. I don't know enough about SVGs to know if there is some technical reason (e.g. hard to open a map if it has 1000000000 anchor points for every border precisely drawn) or if it was just done for the sake of time and simplicity. Yeah it's that. It's very obvious in the countries i cited because they have huge internal admnistrative regions with very little straight borders. Still, it looks odd to me, why not have the same level of precision across the board?

On my recent trip to Italy I found this curious map in Trenitalia's magazine: Apparently not only has my country's government changed while I was away but also Israel moved it's frontier right back into the Sinai... and built an airport there?

Here's a dumb map: Country labels were moved to get the same rankings on population and area, i.e. the label for the Xth most populous country is placed on the one that is the Xth largest. This puts Mexico in Algeria and India in Canada, but the USA, Brazil, Ireland and Yemen get to stay where they are.

Orange Devil posted:How do you "need" land to live on when you've just arrived by boat originating from, you know, your land? It’s hard to farm on a boat. Also the landowners in Europe were not the ones coming to Canada to build subsistence farming hovels. It was their serfs, who, you might imagine, did not have much or any land in their home country either.
