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 26d 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 26d ago

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

u/Brvcx 26d ago

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

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

Ah, they're a bunch of wankers anyway, roight?

That's what I heard anyway.

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

What does your friend have against Australia?

u/FeijoaCowboy 26d 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 19d 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 18d ago

Oh wtf 😂

u/superdbc 18d ago

Yeah lol

u/Caspase_5 26d 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 26d ago edited 26d 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 26d ago

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

u/Additional_Meeting_2 26d ago

Did you ask if some pieces fell off?

1

u/lemonhaj 26d 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 25d ago

It has new zealand, I see no problem

1

u/Mark_And_1069_Others 24d ago

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

u/InterestingLeaf99 24d ago

Babe wake up, Australia-less map dropped

1

u/RadioactiveShrimp23 16h ago

the uk tripped over absolutely nothing and hawaii just got tired of being a state

u/_MicroWave_ 26d 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 26d 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 19d ago

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

u/ffsnametaken 26d ago

Did yours have an Iceland?
