Yes, but zoom in on the map and you'll notice that all of the labels are oriented so they're read with the southern tip of South America pointing upwards
Oh dang, I did not zoom in enough to see that, my b. Is that common on a southern hemisphere map? I could understand using a different projection, but what benefit does just flipping it south up have?

Good job doxing your location... 🙄
Tomorrow there'll probably some perverts waiting for you when you step out of its bunghole.

That's a house hippo with a long nose.
He even has chips.

On the Dymaxion projection, that's a hell of a weird duck.

It'd probably be ok if it wasn't for that damn meteor.

A weird looking duck is still a duck.
Don't be insensitive.

I still see a duck.

Which is a dinosaur. Ok, no issue.

I looked at this for a second and saw a duck with a comb (like the fleshy part on top of a chickens' head)

Is this a Southern Hemisphere map!?!
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 23d
It's the Americas rotated 90° counter-clockwise from the typical north up representation.

I've seen better projections at the abandoned movie theater.
