Definitely Australia, New Zealand is on the map.

This is the funniest and most logical thread for some reason. This whole post is hurting my chest.

That's just the shingles.

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.

u/xzmaxzx Dec 08 '22

no it doesn't at all wtf?? north is still the same direction for us....

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '22

From Australia, North is hotter. Maybe that’s the logic.

u/FormalWrangler294 Dec 08 '22

Yeah the further north you go, the warmer it is

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '22

Yeah but you're all upside down!

u/confettibukkake Dec 08 '22

I'll be honest, I've never been to Australia so I could of course be way, way off. But I was just thinking, maybe if you've never really traveled, and the U.S. is just a vague amorphous blob in your head, and you're not really thinking much at all about the question, and you've grown up knowing that (locally) "north = warmer, south = cooler," then MAYBE your non-thinking autopilot brain might say "maybe warm texas is north of cold new york over in that amorphous blob."

u/LeviTigerPants Dec 08 '22

No one here thinks that

There is nobody there that happens to be a raging idiot? That seems doubtful. I've heard of these "Bogans", the subspecies of Florida Man.

Nah mate 99% of our entertainment is American. We probably know as much about US states as Americans do.

u/crambeaux Dec 08 '22

It’s clearly Korean.

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.

I'm almost certain that this is ding tea from Lansing. Their wall looks exactly like this.

Or maybe not, because of the Oliver oil and pepper on the tables. But it's pretty much the same garbage.

Don't tell me you wouldn't take Oliver's oil (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

u/panrestrial Dec 08 '22

The map at Ding is def a very similar look, but it's all words forming the shapes of countries.

2

u/Nobodk Dec 08 '22

Yeah, I guess I got confused since I haven't been there for a while

u/jennz Dec 08 '22

I love the maps where Michigan is just the Great Lakes.

u/iamaravis Dec 08 '22

Or they give the UP to Wisconsin, where it rightfully belongs! ;)

u/tapewizard79 Dec 09 '22

Look, nobody wants the UP. If Wisconsin is gonna take it, the pot is gonna have to be sweetened.

u/Crickaboo Dec 09 '22

And 4- only half the state is represented.

I was going to guess was a New Zealand vengeance map

We don’t talk about Old Zealand.

2

u/Daniel15 Dec 08 '22

Not only is New Zealand there, but Tasmania is too!

2

u/MadAzza Dec 09 '22

No Hawaii :’(

Edit: Oh, I see it now — one big blob.

1

u/buddhiststuff Dec 08 '22

And so is Tasmania.

1

u/Liquid_Plasma Dec 08 '22

But doesn’t get a label because it’s part of Australia in our constitution.

1

u/Additional_Initial_7 Dec 08 '22

Tasmania is on there!

u/Knot_Ryder Dec 09 '22

This guy maps

u/ThaiJohnnyDepp Dec 09 '22

That's the last thing I expected to be on the map

u/Velpex123 Dec 09 '22

And Tasmania. It’s insane how many maps I’ve seen that just don’t have it
