Ah yes, Paris, my favorite Finnish city. Very easy to get to since we drained the English Channel.

It always did have gorgeous views of the Baltic lake

AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space · 36 pts · 2y

At least they didn’t forget New Zealand this time

pH3ra@lemmy.ml · 28 pts · 2y

Oh yeah, the famous Baltic Lake

I just can't get enough of that Mediterranean lentil dahl.

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Ah yes... India.

The island country next to Africa.

Where did you think it was? On it's own subcontinent attached to the south of Asia, where the landmass of Mediterranean is?

ElPussyKangaroo@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Pfft... that's just ridiculous.

Next you'll be telling me the Himalayas are actually a result of said subcontinent crashing into the main Asian continent.

Ah yes, New York south of Texas

Ferris@infosec.pub · 8 pts · 2y

There's also a New Zeland, so that's nice

Maultasche@feddit.de · 9 pts · 2y (1 reply)

They even remembered Tasmania.

So.... Aussie geography then?

I'm going to wager that decal was designed and manufactured in a non-English speaking country. Everyone knows where Texas and Canada are

Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 20 pts · 2y

Nah I don't think the language/location gap can explain this ignorance. You can onlt find this in a Graphic Designer.

lambda@programming.dev · 7 pts · 2y

My thoughts too. An American would probably mess up the rest of the world, but would nail canada, America, and south America lol

weedazz@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

It's not just about the labels, the landmasses themselves are cursed

Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

Wait... it's not a Photoshop?

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 2y

Artic Ocean

Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz · 13 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Artic

okrubbish@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

and I'm guessing "Anardica" is hidden behind those condiments

Since when was Canada a land mass island?

flubba86@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 2y (5 replies)

All hail Greencanadaland.

programmer_having_errors@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Wouldn't it be Iceland? Or is that for the ice part of that region? Or is it the other way round.

olicvb@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Other way around, iceland is the small island next to it, and Greenland is the big frozen mass labelled canada here.

here have a picture

programmer_having_errors@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Ok who is responsible for naming this? I need to know

olicvb@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 2y

National Geographic did an article on that

flubba86@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I've always remembered it like this:

Greenland is icy, Iceland is green.

@Zerush
They know where Africa is! Surprised!

Zerush@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Although with a very wrong size, same with South America.

ArdMacha@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

The blue Europe over Africa is very wrong indeed

This is beautiful.

Where's Scotchland?

tiredofsametab@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Poor Hokkaido lost a lot of weight, apparently. A little matchstick Hokkaido + Kurils + Sakhalin

According to this map, you mean Korea.
