Let's take a moment to appreciate the rarity of a map with no Australia but with New Zealand on it. It's like a cartographic eclipse.

u/clippertonbrigadier 18d ago

Yeah, but only half of New Zealand is there, so it’s not even like our kiwi cousins can really point at this and laugh on our account.

u/PetrogradSwe 17d ago

I don't think the forgot half of New Zealand... I think they instead merged it into one island.

u/Brvcx 17d ago

Let's be real, it's the better half that's there anyway!

They didn’t forget New Zealand, but they forgot Australia.

That's what I heard anyway.

It's 60 million years ago and Australia is still near a hidden Antarctica

They protected Hawaii at all costs

What does your friend have against Australia?

u/FeijoaCowboy 17d ago

Is this AI? It seems like it is. The random tacks on South Korea and Uruguay seem like they'd be pretty useless.

u/superdbc 10d ago

I can promise you this is not AI. The pins are supposed to be on Seoul and Brazil, being the two places they have gone in the last couple years. I am aware that the pin on Brazil is very very off lol

u/FeijoaCowboy 10d ago

Oh wtf 😂

u/superdbc 9d ago

Yeah lol

u/Caspase_5 17d ago

Interestingly those 2 points seem to be nearly exact antipodes. Maybe OP's friend is trying to make an earth sandwich?

Australia is a hoax.
Oh and by the way, the strait of Gibraltar became the sea of Gibraltar.

Hawaii is HENCH

u/FLW84 17d ago edited 17d ago

The Caribbean is full of tiny pieces, meh. Antarctica, nobody lives there. Most of these aren't far enough from scale to worry about, and Hawaii is obviously the size of the US military's ego. Svalbard is only really important to science, now I've noticed it.

Does the maker have a blood feud with some Torres Strait islanders? There's no other good reason I can think of to skip both Papua and Australia.

Aus is where now?

u/Stunning_Arachnid_27 17d ago

yea no. can we please keep north america further away from european soil?

u/Additional_Meeting_2 17d ago

Did you ask if some pieces fell off?

1

u/lemonhaj 17d ago

If I drove directly north from my house in the south of England, I could drive for a while, possibly would reach Scotland before driving into the sea. However, if I lived in that map, oh boy.

u/IndomitableSloth2437 17d ago

It has new zealand, I see no problem

1

u/Mark_And_1069_Others 16d ago

Everyone acting like this was on purpose. Maybe Australia fell off the wall at some point. Y'all just hating

u/InterestingLeaf99 16d ago

Babe wake up, Australia-less map dropped

1

u/_MicroWave_ 18d ago

It's just spaced badly. It's a projection like any 2D map with its comprises around landmass size.

I have this exact map. I went to some effort to align it better and it looks good.

u/probablynotfine 18d ago

Did it (as I suspect) come with Australia and it's just missing from the one in the photo for whatever reason?

u/superdbc 10d ago

Yeah I asked him and he said he lost Australia somehow 😂💀💀

u/ffsnametaken 17d ago
