geography

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. 

These maps are inexcusably, hilariously terrible. The Cat Earth Theory really seems to have some legs. Might want to keep an eye on that one. 

Twitter user @haru_cchii, went viral over his attempt at identifying all 50 states on a map. People were quick to appreciate just how ridiculous the results ended up being. I mean, you can't beat "Texas 2." 

Real planets have curves. Here we are again, Flat Earthers. How will they go about contesting this, and pulling up some sort of counterargument, out of thin air? Your guess is as good as ours, but rest assured, it'll happen. You can find the rest of the video, where these images were sourced from over here.

This thread was in response to this news of a couple in Mongolia who ate raw Marmot organs and subsequently died of Plague. The story itself is pretty tragic, but where i gets interesting is this tumblr user shooting down everyone's knee-jerk reactions to the headline without actually reading the thing. In very tumblr fashion, the thread turned into a conversation about the realities of veganism, sort of like this tumblr post that called out vegans for not eating honey.

It's one thing to be laughed at by your classmates, but when your teacher joins in, you know you're truly stupid.

Yeah, these maps are technically accurate, but you still probably won't learn anything. Check out @TerribleMaps for more idiotically funny geography stuff.

For such nice people, the Canadians have a knack for getting mercilessly trolled. Maybe they're so nice and sorry all the time, they actually need to apologize for THAT at this point. Or they set themselves up for being the butt end of many 'a joke, all too easily, all the time.
