I bless the rains down in Mexico! 🎶

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 7 points 3 months ago

Fuck. Ive got to go listen to this banger now. I haven’t heard it in years.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

There was a cover recently that wasn't bad, but the original is best

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 101 points 3 months ago

Embarrassed by how long it took me to realize it was not South America

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months ago

OHH, it's Africa, I'm so fucking retarded.

[-] carpelbridgesyndrome@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Lol. I thought the Falkland Islands looked a lot like Madagascar I just somehow never looked at the rest of the map.

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah. At first I was like "hmm that is not that bad."

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

That was the clue for me

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Seriously. I was like "okay, Brazil is in the right general area, but obviously the wrong shape. Argentina is definitely not there. Chile is along the coast, so I'll allow it. I honestly couldn't say what all the northern countries are, and... wait, what the hell is the north connecting to, that looks like the middle east.

Jesus Christ, that's Africa."

[-] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Brazil is no longer a state in Mexico after it moved to China.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

I'm glad you commented...

[-] Sternburgexport@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

I would've believed it if it wasn't for this comment

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Boy, I was really like, "But that isn't Mexico..."

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I spent way too long thinking the biggest problem was that Argentina was in the wrong place. Technically, it was in fact in the wrong place.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Mexico, you say? Pretty sure if Yakko saw this, he wouldn't start singing about countries. He'd just give the camera a disapproving head shake and say "I give up. You kids are on your own. Public schooling clearly isn't helping..." and walk off screen.

[-] tpihkal@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama Haiti, Jamaica, Peru...

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 4 points 3 months ago

...republic dominican, cuba, carribbean, greenland, el salvador, too!..

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

Asia ... wait a minute

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

UK and frnace now are México states

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

The Faroe Islands are Baja California!

[-] nuzkie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Therapist: Wide Argentina isn't real, it can't hurt you Wide Argentina:

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Hmm, yes, very Mexico.

You can tell by how it is.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

The United States of Amexico

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

!cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Even though it's the wrong continent, if OP did this by memory, their geography is great! There are many people that would need to look at a map.

[-] RandomStickman@kbin.run 3 points 3 months ago

Brazil stole the ~~suez~~ panama canal

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Falkland Islands

Yes, this checks out.

[-] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Just the one Falkland, actually.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I didn't realize Paraguay had 3 shores of Lake Titicaca. Great map!

[-] mohammed_alibi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Pretty amazing that Iguazu Falls and Victoria Falls ended up in roughly the same place!

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

If you'd zoomed out a little more you could've included Ibiza to the north, where the Mayans started out before expanding north towards disneyland, or the Azores to the west, the base used by the Polynesians to obtain sweet potatoes from the Ghanaians.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I think I'd prefer this setup

[-] kalessin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's ASIA ya doofus!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

I would have been more impressed if you had done it all as a mirror image of South America in the shape of Africa.

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

I think French Guyana shoots different rockets here.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Brazilians see this map and start tossing conspiracy theories about how fossil fuel cuts are a UN plot to seize the Sahara

Also is it me or do these borders look dangerously sensible for Africa?

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Madagascar belongs to Mozambique

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

I mean, these borders might make for an interesting alt-history scenario?
