it came to my attention that my previous post on basic geography https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14668411 needed an inset for Michigan to provide better geographic context, thanks @Technus@lemmy.zip for the catch!

The only problem I have with this post is it implies I give two shits about Michigan.

Well done.

Do not worry, I never assumed you gave even one shit about Michigan. I assumed you gave two, maybe three, shits about essential geographic context in the art of cartography

I was being a pedant for shiggles, but I appreciate the generosity of your interpretation.

I love the fact that "Toledo" is still correct, and laughed my ass at Quebec being bigger than Canada ... poor Andorra

Excellent question, but I don’t have an answer, sorry :(

I grew up on the Ohio/WV border. This would have made my childhood significantly more interesting lol

Are you Steubs or Wheeling?

[–] Chetzemoka@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

MOV. Belpre/Pburg.

Question, is the UK, Scotland or just Stranraer Toronto?

[–] glizzyguzzler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well we’ll have to wait for the next edition of the map of Ohio and it’s surrounding regions, but I have a feeling that the labeling is slightly off and Toronto actual is farther south and east.

Carlisle? That's nowhere near Northern Ireland.

[–] glizzyguzzler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

I haven’t got a map reference for where Northern Ireland is, but looking at my maps Toronto is to the south east of Unified Upper Michigan
