It's hard to believe

NZ: am I a joke to you?

On the map only to be excluded from the circle

That's not a circle

Something something map projections.

This is a common misconception, this circle is actually a straight line around the globe and the "inside" includes Antarctica and new Zealand. And because there's a race of fully sentient crab people living under the kiwis and totaling 800 billion in number, the map is correct.

Weird that they vote though

Those crabs fought hard for their freedom to vote. We killed soo many of them through our backwards beliefs that now the war is over we are one of the biggest butter exporters in the world. We can only hope we have learned more than just how to use a skillet.

Dude they waddle sideways in to the voting booth and unanimously vote for can of creamed crab for overlord of New Zealand. If that was a real position or person y'all would be driving sideways to work

Well Americans waddled sideways in and voted for a can of Fanta... at least creamed crab doesn't start civil unrest.

Actually... it might. Scratch that

Hey less than half of us voted for Fanta. He just won because coke managed to take over most of the end cap displays.

Yeah, we don't even have a name for whateverthefuck shape India is!

Fun fact: every 1 in 2 people make up 50% of the world population.

Yeah? Well at least in NZ we know how to draw a freaking circle. Didn't want to be in your stinky club anyway

I know the author is Terrible Maps so I probably shouldn't complain, but what are those continent colour groupings?

They're not grouped, that's what the planet actually looks like from space.

Can't believe I made such a foolish blunder in front of the head of NASA, my apologies doctor

Are kiwis really people let's be honest

Well no, they are a fruit.

I wonder how many people live outside the red circle and have to commute to work within it.

This is false. The red circle is too small to fit more than maybe a couple fetuses, depending on your screen size.

1 more...

I mean, considering this map excludes Antarctica, and there are people living (at least temporarily) in Antarctica, it is technically true.

Can "in" and "out" be meaningfully defined though, considering that circle is on a globe though?

I get the feeling that if this were on a globe, it would appear as a long, thin, and nearly empty circle.

More humans, anyway.

Way to stand up for my alien homies, yo!

How do you know? Maybe there is a race of advanced intra terrestrial humans that live under water. Also this map is missing the great wall of ice that holds the water in place.

That is true. As far as I know, nobody lives on my phone screen.

Ah this meme makes me nostalgic for back before everyone else got on the internet.

Red circle map, you were joy back in the day

I mean, if we can't see the circle that means its a really big one, so.....

Duh....

More Gentoo live outside red circle than inside of it.
