steinrokkan posted:Why are Breton women illiterate? The map is about stuff Macron said about French people, to show how much he loves the country he presides. Most of these words were comments about the (soon-to-be) unemployed, according to the familiar logic of "if you're poor, it's your fault for being a loser". So there was a slaughterhouse in Brittany that was going to close, and it's at this point he commented during a radio interview that "most of the employees are women, a lot of them are illiterate".

Hmm, what kind of iconic image could we put in there for Greece. Really something that brings the place to mind. Ah! Of course! The yoyo!

It's not a salamander, it's an Axolotl, or Romanian walking fish.

Axolotl is a salamander, and it truly is famous for living where RIo Gande and Danube reach a confluence.

Grape posted:Oh god I fell down an idiot hole on youtube. Jesus Christ, thank you for that. I still remember my cousin, when both of us were 16 and she living in North Carolina, when something prompted her to ask at a family dinner "What's a Mary Land?" "It's a state, and it's pronounced 'Maralind'." "Oh! I've never heard of it." I can't remember what prompted it, but she must have been looking at something that had Maryland written on it in order to butcher the pronunciation so badly (i.e. saying it like it's spelled), but it couldn't have been a map. So many people think "South America is directly south of North America"? Yep definitely this is because of switching between alternate universes, and not because people are terrible at geography and can't read a map. It's fine that your wife is from Peru and you're still poo poo at geography, Youtube dude. Not everyone cares about maps, and it's something that has essentially no bearing on your personal life. Just say you're bad at geography, and not that a mysterious effect transported you from an alternate dimension where Sri Lanka was on the other side of India and South America was 1500 miles to the west. "There is no north pole! Greenland, Iceland. How can Santa come from the North Pole?? And this island up here I've never even seen. Sv.. Svalbard?" "I don't remember North Kore and South Korea being up here. I remember them as being more down here [points near Taiwan]" "I remember New Zealand being up here [points just east of Papua New Guinea. BUT IT'S WAY SOUTH." Yes, was New Zealand also a tropical beach country in your memory? Jfc. Saladman fucked around with this message at 09:11 on Jun 30, 2018 |

Mercator is better at most at showing the directional relations between landmasses, which seems to be his most common issue.

Finance guy is a moron who thinks he's super smart and finds it easier to think reality has changed than he's wrong about something. I also love the flip flopping between 'I've been looking at maps my whole life' and 'when I was a kid'.

I'm glad of the people who don't care. Good on them. It's like me being confronted with chemistry or physics stuff, sounds complicated, glad the experts know what's up. Smell ya later. The 45 minute WHY BEACH BLOCK COAST? video is a dude encountering something that genuinely fascinates him, a strange looking natural phenomena. And instead of going off to look up how that sort of thing forms and works, off he flies into fantasy land. Meanwhile randomly asserting stuff like an expert, "That can't happened naturally, so thus-". Why does he think he knows if it can or can't happened... How do brains get like that.

I had never heard of this Mandela Effect before, but it's gold http://www.newgoldenage.info/index.php/shift/the-mandela-effect/what-is-changing/395-mandela-effect-geography quote:- Russia now also has nearly independent territories, like the small part of Russia called Kaliningrad, under Lithuania. There's a simple explanation for these, or are they saying WWII happened retroactively to accommodate the geographical changes, I'm having a hard time understanding what the claims being made even are.

Did this specific video go viral somehow, or are there so many people following this drat thing? E: I watched like 20 minutes of it, jesus. He coins the phrase "sand bar coastline" because he's too dumb to realize that "coastal estuaries" are a thing that exist. I don't even understand his point — that it's impossible for there to be so much coast that has an indistinct/gradual separation between ocean and land? Man it's really going to blow his mind whenever he finds out that Google Earth has an option where you can go backwards and forwards in time with newer/older satellite imagery. I'd never heard of it before, but I blame The History Channel for all of this. Everything from Mandela Effect to Flat Earth to Ancient Aliens.
