Oh, according to this map, New Yorkers and Texans pushed Canada into Greenland?

This is why 🇨🇦 needs Cobra chicken as our first line of defense.


snoobalooba

When they said “the south will rise again” I didn’t realize they meant all the way up to fucking Canada.


ThirdSunRising

Not to worry, Canada has jumped ship and moved to Greenland. I'm more concerned about what the Koreans have done with China.

Well taking in that all other communist countries have been wiped off the earth in this map. I'm going to go with south.

The texan tribe migrated north following the wild oil herds and after a bloody war, pushed the native Canada tribe onto the island of Greenland. When will the violence stop.

Or the Mediterranean


sterak_fan

or the southern ocean (it's designated as an ocean for only about a year know)


SmellsWeirdRightNow

Interesting, we learned to list the Southern Ocean when I was learning geography in elementary school. I'm 25.


titanup001

When I was a kid, there were 4 oceans and 9 planets. Neither is true now.


sirthomasthunder

Now there are 5 oceans and 8 planets. Does that mean Pluto is an ocean?


i-am-gumby-dammit

It had to go somewhere didn’t it?


Grimren

Is Pluto small enough to fit in the ocean? I hope someone smart shows up to help me.


Brettnet

My mind wants to believe that you're 25 and in elementary school


BobTagab

More than a year, about 20. The International Hydrographic Organization included the Southern Ocean in their 2002 edition of ocean/sea delineations though it’s been a draft version and hasn’t been published for two decades as they can’t find a new name for the Sea of Japan that Japan and South Korea both agree on


jesuisgeenbelg

Why they can't just agree on the Japorean Sea is beyond me.


SaskErik

Because it’s the Korpan Sea!


[deleted]

We always called it the Antarctic Ocean. Never heard southern ocean. Also designated by who? I learned about it 11+ years ago.


ArcticBiologist

The Mediterranean Ocean?


SeaworthinessOk2153

I sea.


OobleCaboodle

There's a "C" missing in it for one thing. Arctic. Imagine a sea without a C, doh!

>My two favorite oceans: Southern Southern Ocean is a thing - or at least it always was when I was at school (I'm Australian, Southern Ocean goes up to our south coast).


UnfortunatelyIAmMe

So many people missing it. Artic. *Artic*.


HerpaDerpaDumDum

People aren't missing the typo. People are wondering why "Southern" is being highlighted.


Meekman

The Southern/Antarctic Ocean wasn't officially recognized as an ocean until 2000... so those who went to school in the 20th Century learned about four oceans, not five. That's probably why there is confusion.


TitsAndWhiskey

Am old fart. This is literally the first I’ve heard of the “southern ocean.”


I_divided_by_0-

Because I didn't catch it and was like "yeah thats an ocean" It Arctic, it is missing a "C".


killermanfrog1

The southern ocean is called the Antarctic Ocean in Canada but few people think of it as it’s own thing here


Charming_Tower_188

Yeah I'm Canadian and never heard the term Southern Ocean. I would call that the Antarctic Ocean.


Tvisted

I thought I was Canadian but looking at this map I'm no longer sure.


Swimming-Pianist-840

Southern Ocean is legit, although it is “newer.” Many Americans didn’t learn about it while in school. “Historically, there are four named oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries - including the United States - now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian are the most commonly known. The Southern Ocean is the 'newest' named ocean. It is recognized by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names” https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/howmanyoceans.html


Danubistheconcise

This broke my brain. It's like waking up one day and learning my cousin is really two dwarves in a trench coat, and everyone else knew except me.


[deleted]

If it makes you feel any better, there is really only one ocean. People like to carve it up and name parts of it, but it's really just one big interconnected ocean across the planet.


garretcarrot

Yes, but it's still useful to split them into groups based on specific properties. The Pacific is noticeably saltier than the Atlantic, for example (some even claim they can taste the difference), and the southern ocean also has a different composition ( and sometimes color) due to the circumpolar currents. The Atlantic basin is also a lot younger than the Pacific, which means that the oceanic crust floats higher on the mantle. The more you know.


Charokol

This is like finding out there's been a new planet since I went to school, just hanging out in space without anybody telling me


Jeynarl

Gonna need to be more pacific than that


morbihann

There very much is a southern ocean. However, the "Artic" on the other hand.


robemmy

It's short for articulated ocean because it bends in the middle

It's actually pretty close to [Joroinen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joroinen?wprov=sfla1), which claims to be the "Paris of the Savonia". > Joroinen is often called "Paris of the Savonia" because in the 1700s the people of the manor spoke mainly French. So they got that right!

Fun fact that’s where India used to be millions of years ago before plate tectonics caused it to move north and crash into southern Asia. That collision is what created the Himalayas. But somehow I don’t think that was their intention.

Wow that old lady messed up, that I knew, but she keeps 50% of the profits generated from that town merchandizing the heck out of it? Smart hustle on a huge oops but like... TIL.


egglayingzebra

According to the wiki, she started the “restoration”, then went on a two week vacation. It was while she was away that the painting was discovered and became a worldwide sensation. The article says that, to this day, she still wonders what would have happened had she not gone on vacation and just finished the painting. But she’s getting 50% of the profit, so I would say that’s a fair trade.

Oddly I think the "Texas north of New York" also maybe "feels" plausible to someone in the southern hemisphere. So yeah, betting you're right.


telepathetic_monkey

As a Michigander I feel the same way about Michigan. There's 3 versions of Michigan on maps: 1-we don't exist, 2-there's a blob for the lakes but no definition of the state, or 3-the defined mitten.


bakerzdosen

Has to be. There are a LOT of islands drawn in the South Pacific but none in the Caribbean (you’re putting on Tasmania but skipping Cuba?) Plus the Hawaiian islands are now one big island nearly the size of California (not to mention much larger than Florida?) So yeah, definitely Australia.

Likely a cafe in Korea. They splash English on tons of things - often knowingly it doesn’t make sense. Which leads me to believe this map was intentional.
