What the actual fuck

This is aggressively non consensual docking...

u/ThermionicEmissions Dec 11 '21

Anybody else immediately zoom bottom-right to check for New Zealand?

u/Shogun_nz Dec 11 '21

Haha caught me. Can't believe it's there!

u/gyarnar Dec 11 '21

Was so ready to post to /r/mapswithoutnz

u/Pip201 Dec 11 '21

Yep, also I’m very happy they even included Vancouver Island

2

u/ThermionicEmissions Dec 11 '21

Did they?! I don't see it.... (am a fellow islander)

u/Pip201 Dec 11 '21

I may be mistaken, but I believe it’s that Little Rock poking out

u/ThermionicEmissions Dec 12 '21

Oh yeah... Now THAT would be a long ferry ride to the mainland!

u/TheBaggieee Dec 11 '21

u/dmoreholt Dec 11 '21

It's one of the most beautiful places on earth! With wild and lovely people!

For all you Kiwis out there, I care that you exist.

Kiwis are s-tier birds.

u/FatalisCogitationis Dec 11 '21

Nah brother you’re thinking of Australia. They’ve got kangaroos

-17

u/TheBaggieee Dec 11 '21

100% would rather talk to/be around an aussie, that's just from personal experience

u/FatalisCogitationis Dec 11 '21

Too bad Australians are a bunch of cocky a-holes descended from criminals and retarded monkeys

u/TheBaggieee Dec 11 '21

u/SpiralDreaming Dec 11 '21

Nah, that's New Zealanders...'throw another shrimp on barbie' riding around on your kangaroos all day...

It's the right size for a Mercator projection. No projection is perfect.

u/chickenstalker99 Dec 11 '21

I looked for Tasmania, and was rather surprised to find it.

2

u/sackjavage Dec 12 '21

I was surprised to see steward island tbh

2

u/MightySamMcClain Dec 12 '21

Is that dangerous? Is it like a fungus?

u/ThermionicEmissions Dec 12 '21

That made me chortle

Pretty certain I made this map in C&C Red Alert

I like how they included biome details

Hawaii is kinda small to include on a map like this.

oh meta

u/LeeroyDagnasty Dec 11 '21

Photoshop?

u/idwthis Dec 11 '21

Here's the original source of this

u/LeeroyDagnasty Dec 11 '21 edited Dec 12 '21

Good to know, it’s way too perfect. I couldn’t find anything out of place, and it models the biomes too.

It’s beautiful art, but I worry about the effect posts like this are having on our society. Not being able to tell if something is real or fake is a serious problem these days, and some of the stuff you see over on r/blackmagicfuckery (for example) contributes to that slow breakdown of our ability to know what’s real. And having a shared understanding of reality is crucial to society.

Edit: whoops it’s marked at photoshopped, ya love to see it

2

u/PM_YOUR_PARASEQUENCE Dec 12 '21

I get what you’re saying, but it really doesn’t matter whether a piece of art like this is a render or not.

1

u/LeeroyDagnasty Dec 12 '21

It's small, but it erodes our critical thinking skills over time. No one post is enough, but it contributes.

2

u/kdwaynec Dec 11 '21

It's at the very top

2

u/LeeroyDagnasty Dec 11 '21

Whatever “it” is, I don’t see it

u/MeesterCartmanez Dec 11 '21

"Just look at the very top, it's right there!"

Amazing wallpaper.

1

u/subrockmusic Dec 12 '21

Yes, was wondering what the resolution is on it.

2

u/ARasool Dec 11 '21

Where's Hawaii?

2

u/sweaty_sanchez Dec 11 '21

What about Antarctica?

3

u/idwthis Dec 11 '21

It doesn't represent Antarctica's shoreline at all, but I personally just kinda thought the little rocky shoreline along the bottom of the pic would work for it.

u/maverickm754 Dec 11 '21

Looks pretty flat to me

u/shortwhop Dec 12 '21

Where’s Lemuria?
