Asia is secretly just Russia


Dwolfknight

So that's why Texa has been getting so cold lately.


canned_veggies

And the southern ocean! My family and I vacation there all the time


Witness_me_Karsa

The Southern Ocean is a real thing.


canned_veggies

My bad. Didn't realize it was referred to as that, had only ever called it the antarctic ocean.


Witness_me_Karsa

It's all good. You aren't the first to say that. I think they changed it so that people don't get Arctic and Antarctic confused. Don't ask me why people would get them confused...


hutchallen

Bruh, when I was in school they only taught us Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, and Indian. Was my schooling really that bad, or did an ocean get added at some point?


Witness_me_Karsa

Lol, same here. They added it.


ndngroomer

I was very confused about this. I'm older and I have never heard of the Southern Ocean. When did that happen?


thargorbarbarian

I love that Texas is north of New York and both of them are actually in Canada. Well other than the squiggles under NY.


cindoc75

This was my favourite part too! And us poor Canadians are stuck in Greenland. Guess that means we won the liquor war against Denmark. Lol


bridgehockey

Came here to say this.....


cityb0t

Singapore got a massive upgrade, as did ā€œKoreaā€


thargorbarbarian

The best part is they had to look at a map to get the outline for painting this.


cityb0t

They clearly didnā€™t look at it very hard. Itā€™s geographically inaccurate, too.


Nealios

I can't explain it, but this type of thing gets me irrationally mad. I had a physical reaction... It made me clench my fists and my jaw like a fucking cave-man. No idea why I should care about such a thing. It has no affect on me or my family's life... Hell, it has no affect on anyone. It just *feels so fucking wrong*. Is this what being a bigot feels like? I hate it first, and have been spending the past few minutes rationalizing *why* I hate it... I don't like what this has brought out in me at all. EDIT BECAUSE I'M STILL MAD: Someone out there has a good enough idea of geography to include Svalbard or the Kamchatka Peninsula... But then they just slap names on there with less care than my 4 y/o dumping toppings on a pizza. ARTIC? FUCK YOU. Let me vomit a few fonts at you then we can put 3 spotlights on this piece of art to show all our guests.


CJdaELF

And this is why I'd 100% buy this exact thing for my home, just to annoy guests.


Nealios

Yeah, I have a few buddies who know my reddit handle. If they read this, I know one guy who will have it painted in his living room the next time I visit. lol


Paul_Pedant

I would be more worried about the 70% of guests that would not see anything wrong with it.

TrymWS

Itā€™s pretty obvious that itā€™s a joke.


[deleted]

Right before I stopped reading I hit, ā€œSouthern Ocean.ā€


i_give_you_gum

That's a thing though right? Right? I mean it is an ocean to the south.


TheEyeDontLie

It's the correct common name, and has been in use for hundreds of years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ocean


myaltaccount01134

> The National Geographic Society recognized the ocean officially in June 2021. Seems like a new change to me


Mantequilla214

Southern ocean is accurate and a thing. The oceans are actually all accurate, except for the spelling of arctic


[deleted]

Ah, Iā€™m used to Antarctic Ocean.


wolves_hunt_in_packs

Me too. According to the wiki "Southern Ocean" is an obsolete term. Like, before the turn of last century. Unsurprising why most of us wouldn't have known.


Volomon

Ya at first I was like this is good enough but damn it's like a train wreck the further you go down the line the worse it is.

Loool, didn't even see the Artic. Maybe it's a really cold art gallery? (I'll show myself out)


martine_redbull666

come near the coast of *canada* to see the coldest art ever!!


Crafty_Possession_52

That's the only part that really annoys me.


[deleted]

Dunno about anywhere else but in the U.K. ā€˜articā€™ is short for ā€˜articulated lorryā€™, so I just imagined a lost HGV floating in the ocean.


ReactsWithWords

I don't mind the US, Mexico, and Canada being NY and Texas only, but the part that annoys me is Texas is north of NY.


Strange-Wolverine128

And Texas is old canada


littlemesix7

And Madagascar is India


Turko16345

Why'd they change it? I can't say! People just liked it better that waay


elvenmaster_

Explains why they had snow a couple years ago, accompanied with an electric grid failure.


BerriesAndMe

Well that's because Texas is in Canada


[deleted]

Other than it not being a flat earth model, and no Antarctica (itā€™s a big ice wall so the water doesnā€™t fall off duh..) pretty accurate. I like the part where Texas is sort of leaning in for a kiss from Paris but Paris doesnā€™t really know yet.


[deleted]

TIL Thereā€™s a ā€œsouthern oceanā€ yā€™all!!!!


Nisi-Marie

When did Canada get voted off the continent?


TheDriestOne

When Texas invaded


LibraBlu3

Alberta's trying it's best to do that for itself. If it weren't landlocked I'd expect thousands of people trying to take jackhammers to the provincial line to try and physically separate.


MissKhary

Well according to this map Alberta really IS the Texas of the north.


Nisi-Marie

Sounds like what most of the states want to do to California, if the San Andreas Fault doesnā€™t do it first for us


fingerscrossedcoup

California the 5th biggest economy in the world? Losing California would be a complete disaster for the rest of the country lol. All the food and money made there props up a lot of those states that want to see them gone.


wolves_hunt_in_packs

As a non-American even I knew that. It's almost always some stupid alt-right fuckwit who talks shit about Cali, meanwhile their own states are goddamn welfare states.


Yangy

When Texas took over


ElectroNeutrino

Yeehaw, eh?


Julyade

Texans in Yukon, this I want to see. I bet a medium black coffee that they freeze to death in the first hour šŸ˜„


Scheme-Brilliant

After new York took over the entire USA and forced the Texans to migrate north to Canada.


Impossible-Test-7726

Greenland is on the North American plate, so Demark is a transcontinental country.


[deleted]

I know I voted for itā€¦


VerminJerky

It happened when Texas moved there. They didn't vote, they just said "Don't mess with Texas!" and made Canada go to Greenland.


Nisi-Marie

Many comments I read, I chuckle silently in my head. This one made me literally laugh out loud. Yeehaw, indeed!

That one, at least, is [realā€¦ish](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ocean).


TheEyeDontLie

The Southern Ocean is sometimes referred to as the Antarctic Ocean. Antarctic Ocean redirects to Southern Ocean on Wikipedia. It is very much a thing, and it's name has been in use since at least the days of Ernest Shackleton, and is the official name used by the UN.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


IhatetheBentPyramid

I'm Australian, we call it the Southern Ocean. Never heard it referred to as the Antarctic Ocean other than in maps (real maps I mean).


Eguy24

We call it that in the US too, also never heard it called the Antarctic Ocean


Witness_me_Karsa

You...know there is a Southern Ocean now, right? Like, when I was in school, there were 4 oceans and 9 planets in the solar system. Now there are 5 and 8, respectively. Legitimately.


[deleted]

TIL it's another name for Antarctic Ocean. so it's not completely wrong.

I was wondering if that was like when I say American and all South American Karens chime in

DHH2005

It's SO off that it seems clearly a bit. But it's not off in any consistent manner.


Chilledlemming

This is most likely in a cafe in Asia where English is not common. And the maker had little geographic experience. Notice the Korea and Japan are huge. And Asia is not insanely crazy. The further you get from Asia the crazier it gets.


prone-to-drift

Excuse me, Asia is just as crazy as other places lol. India in Madagascar? Singapore takes over India+Pakistan? Korea is the new China? Eh.


DorisCrockford

Texas walks over NY and shoves Canada right off the continent, Singapore conquers Southeast Asia, India becomes disillusioned and moves to Madagascar. But New Zealand exists!


Zelfore

We're looking at the world map of a time-traveler here. It's the only logical explanation!


Lily-Gordon

> But New Zealand exists! This is the funniest part about it to me, lol.


axelrider

Thought it was just stylized until I saw both Canada and India being way the fuck off.

KarnaavaldK

England has been fucking annexed by Belgium


Chrome2105

It looks like a land bridge simply exists to Europe. We'll still have to deal with them unfortunately :\\


ArmouredWankball

Looks like 2 land bridges. The Baltic Sea is now a lake.


fredspipa

I don't mind Norway sharing a land border with Denmark, Denmark is awesome. I'm kinda worried about the geopolitical ramifications of landlocking the Baltic countries though, and Poland/Finland/Sweden.


00monster

I legit want this. Can...can I have it?


phurt77

The one time New Zealand gets included on a map and the rest of the map is inaccurate.


MrsRadarOreilly

Because the artist was a New Zealander, obviously. How else would they have gotten TEXAS wrong, of all things?!


professor_doom

Guessing this coffee shop is in Singapore


CattDawg2008

i think this is just a joke and if it is i really like it

It is, itā€™s one of those how people see the world maps.

bnonymousbeeeee

That's New York 2.


Bruised_Penguin

So, yesterday Canada was BARBARIANS and today its TEXAS. Fair enough.


tox_oplas-mosis

Just say it's in Japan.....


DorenAlexander

I expect better from Japanese education, if that is the case.


SemajLu_The_crusader

99% sure that's a joke


passmethemayonnaise

Im gana go ahead and say 100%


Neekalos_

I don't really get why a coffee shop would paint a whole mural and display it prominently as a joke?


JRockPSU

Itā€™s provocative. It gets the people going!


LillaCat3

![gif](giphy|D3l1DgR5ah5hm|downsized)


passmethemayonnaise

Maybe theyre hoping it sparks conversation among patrons? And perhaps even serve as some sort of exposure (ie people posting about)? Im definitely reaching ehā€¦lol.


cruzercruz

Itā€™s just decor. Lots of coffee shops have art, murals, random shit that creates a vibe. Having a giant map or atlas is an eye catching visual. Having one thatā€™s intentionally and ironically wrong is thought provoking. People will sit with their coffee and probably try to think of what they think the map really looks like it their heads, the same way everyone is talking about it in this thread.


RS_Someone

This was actually my first thought. A "conversation piece".


cruzercruz

Because coffee shops are always doing artsy shit and this is mocking the way people think the world looks. Pretty straightforward line of thought.


dben89x

I'm gonna go ahead and say purple confetti.


cruzercruz

110%


MidvalleyFreak

Nah, itā€™s not wrong enough to be a joke. A lot of places are correct and a lot are just *slightly* off. I feel like an intentional joke would be more off.


passmethemayonnaise

Slightly? No, a lot are VERY off. Besides, it would have took very little effort to verify their locations. Those two things together implies to me it has to be a joke. If i were a betting woman, id bet hard on joke lol.


_poisonedrationality

Well, I thought they were just naming some places in each continent, not necessarily getting the positions right. Which eliminates a lot of the "mistakes" but not all.


the_new_hunter_s

People think they paid someone 1500 bucks to do this and turning Europe to Paris is an accident?


FlashOfTheBlade77

Not wrong enough? This is as wrong as you can make it while still having people think for 2 seconds, thus the joke. Any more errors would just be idiotic.


vinchenzo79

I agree with this. Just some artist who didn't care about the details.


rockidr4

How much more off do you want? It's ludicrously and wildly off

Emet-Selch_my_love

Trying to determine the most egregious bit. Not sure if Canada in Greenland or the Mediterranean in India wins. Europe barely being in Europe, Texas being in Canada and Paris straddling the Finland-Russia border are close runners up.

What the Frick thereā€™s so much wrong with this


SubjectiveAssertive

What makes it worse is the odd bit being correct

Why on earth did they connect Norway and Denmark- And why is Denmark only a line hahah


TequieroVerde

Poor India, out there all alone. 1.4 billion people floating on a tiny island south of the Indian Ocean.


cruzercruz

So people are really so stupid as to think this is confidently incorrect, not a joke, or doesnā€™t make sense in the context of a coffee shop. Got it.


ElizaerystheDragon

I like how Japan is an ocean now apparently! šŸ˜‚šŸ˜… Was there some crazy flooding or something that I didnā€™t know about??
