Iirc, contrary to expectation, this isn't in the US but in SE Asia, Korea, I think. Not that that makes it any better, but needless yelling about US school education is the usual response every time this is posted.

I’m having trouble parsing, are you implying that Korea is in SE Asia?

No no, SE Asia is in Korea. You know, "SE Asia, Korea", like "Austin, Texas" or "New York, New York".

Not sure if you’re joking, but that’s even worse haha

It feels like you’re joking now with the New York part, but that doesn’t change the fact that Korea is nowhere near SE Asia.

Yeah that was shitposting because I'm embarrassed af. I don't actually know why I wrote "SE Asia" back then. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense looking back now, I should know better. Sorry, didn't mean to offend, must have had a brainfart.

No you didn’t offend me or anything haha I was just slightly amused at the original comment and how it got deeper on the second comment

No worries, you’re good, I was just confused haha

According to this map, Korea is actually somewhere in eastern Russia.

Texas is not the only problem on this map... The more I look the worse it is! I mean there's "stylized" and then there's just phoning it in.

How can someone put this up on a wall without noticing that Greenland has been annexed by Canada, Texas has annexed Canada and the Mediterranean has moved to India.

After Asia shrinked to a part of Russia, and Korea, Singapore, Europe and Paris took over the rest of the continent, there was no more space for India.
Maybe they are still better off than Africa, that shrinked to be significantly smaller than North America, and not much bigger than double of Australia.

At least Africa is still vaguely the correct shape and in the vaguely correct location...? It's wild to me how some labels are continents, some are countries, some are states, and others still are cities... This map is so bad it would lead you astray just trying to stay in orbit over the planet.

Uh... there's so many things wrong here lol

Kaunas used to be called "the little Paris" during the 1930's at least.

Giving Greenland to Canada, now that annoys me.

Seeing India written on Madagascar : wait, what did they write over India then?...

Oh, of course. Mediterranean.
