James L. Sutter shared a recent, hilarious Twitter thread about the fantastical oddity that is this map of New Orleans. Seriously, what is going on here? He addresses the blatant absurdity with some hilarious hot takes. Maybe, the truth is stranger than fiction.
Maps
The Twitter account @UnchartedAtlas site generates an new elaborately detailed, topographical map every hour. Each map is complete with cities, mountains, rivers, valleys, country borders, and other interesting features.
Glaciologist Martin O'Leary, The Creator, used old fantasy books as his inspiration and was hoping to make each map look similar to "something you'd find at the back of one of the cheap paperback novels."

An Ohio State football fan doesn't need to walk 19 miles to prove their love, but it doesn't hurt.
That's what Redditor orweezy and some friends decided to do. But they didn't do it for the mileage, they did it to spell out the four most important letters to them.
Orweezy told his story Aug. 17.
My coworker friends and thought it would be cool to start off the football season by mapping and walking the Ohio Script this past weekend and using the stadium as the "I" dotting.
...We got like 8 miles into it and thought.... "you know this would have been better if we biked it" It took us 6 and a half hours of walking but we made a few bar stops so from 6:30am through 2:45pm. We were doing a work competition about fitness and the metrics used was time, so we walked everywhere and I think we just carried it over. I would rather bike it next time for sure.
The Ohio State Buckeyes will kick off their season on Sept. 7.
