I am loving the scribbling out of New Zealand from the map
There is nothing worth thinking about under the black smudge
As an Australian , as far as I know there is just a long white cloud over endless ocean over that spot there. Satellite imagery proves it. 🤷♂️

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aotearoa
Aotearoa (Māori: [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is the Māori-language name for New Zealand. The name was originally used by Māori in reference only to the North Island, with the whole country being referred to as Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu (North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui) and South Island (Te Waipounamu)). In the pre-European era, Māori did not have a collective name for the two islands.
Several meanings for Aotearoa have been proposed; the most popular translation usually given is "land of the long white cloud", or variations thereof. This refers to the cloud formations which helped early Polynesian navigators find the country.

As an Aussie I don't think Tasmania should've been coloured in green here.
(P.S. I love Tasmania this is just a joke)
As an Aussie I don't think Tasmania should be on the map at all.
Yeah, pass them over to us (the unmentionable to the east), we'll have 'em!
Technically you already have Tasmania, being part of Australia and all
Hey, fuck you buddy! We're our own sovereign country and don't want your rotating PM (our 3 headed monsters are bad enough, lately)

With two buoyant enough platforms you can walk anywhere.
TIL that land is infinitely buoyant.
Not infinitely. But we are buoyant enough for walking on it.

Anyone could walk to Australia in Pangea.
Up to about 200m years ago...
Mind you, I'm in Australia and wouldn't dare try to walk to some parts of Australia...
First Nations people walked here about 65k years ago so it was possible still for a fairly long time.
Yes.
Jesus could

Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".
