no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the rocky/smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 77 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's how you know the map is fake.

[–] mipadaitu@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

No joke, that was the first hint.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising

Then I saw Italy

This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.

Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn't on this one.

Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.

The mental climate change of people not being able to read & assess data is truly abhorrent and will demolish the ability to understand maps vs memes.

EDIT: Yes I know Arizona isn't shown to be directly affected by the map but let me have this.
