Can't believe Portugal is nearly the same size as Portugal

[-] wuffah@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

They are completely different colors, however. 🤔

[-] bhamlin@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Red Portugal is best Portugal

They would be the exact same size if Portugal didn't have that Lisboa sized gap by its western border

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Holy shit, I don't think you can just go around saying "Lisboa sized gap," wtf.

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

My apologies

A lisboa shaped gap

Can you put Portugal A little to the left so I can see Spain better?

[-] GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 month ago

If you line it up right, the borders are exactly the same shape! What a crazy coincidence!

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

Get more evidence for continental drift.

[-] cyan_mess 68 points 1 month ago

If you think that's impressive, just look at the size of Spain compared to Spain 1000152489

[-] Cjwi@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Man, the mercator projection really messes up the perspective, I never would have guessed!!

[-] smeenz@lemmy.nz 15 points 1 month ago

Wow, it covers Spain almost entirely

Mr president a second Portugal has hit the Iberian peninsula

Wow I never realized how small it was in comparison until I saw it here.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Spain is indeed small

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

The mercator projection really oversells the size of portugal. If you ordered a large pizza you’ll have to eat it outside of the country.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

So true, it fits on my phone screen. A large pizza definitely wouldn't fit.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 20 points 1 month ago

The size of Portugal the Man compared to Spain:

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The size of two Portugals compared to most of France:

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 16 points 1 month ago

What I would like to know is how big it is compared to Iberian Peninsula.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 15 points 1 month ago

So thats why the Portuguese description on products is always smaller than the Spanish one!

Jamón ^presunto^

This is surprising to a lot of people because everyone is used to seeing mercator projection maps, which skew the true size of countries

[-] aeiou@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago

I went through like three full thought cycles before realizng this was a shitpost. Good job.

[-] Deme@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 month ago

Huh, I wonder how it compares to that other country to the west there.

[-] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

That’s Vermont. It’s not supposed to even be there.

do NOT steal Portugal!!

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

Thank you, I've always wondered how their sizes compare, this is a great visual representation. So clear.

[-] cyrano@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago
[-] Stefan_S_from_H@piefed.zip 9 points 1 month ago

Why isn't Spain just eating Portugal?

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Why does Russia, the largest of the countries, not simply eat the rest?

[-] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

I mean, they're trying. Not very successfully as of late but they are.

[-] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

They’re having a little trouble with Ukraine atm.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 8 points 1 month ago

Bullshit, I don't believe you.

[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Quality shitpost

But how big is it compared to France?

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Bah! That's nothing! You should see the size of Antarctica compared to Spain!

[-] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago
