Poor New Zealand… they are really missing out.

That one Dutch province that nobody has ever been to

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You mean the people who are fighting the sea?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

And cat-sized house spiders or some shit. That part of the globe scares me.

This map exactly coincides with the area where people’s feet are fast as lightning. Uncanny!

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 days ago (3 children)

That's a little bit frightening

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If it's any comfort, they fought with expert timing

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, when you consider that and the fact that there was funky China men, I do feel better

[–] Rakonat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The people of New Zealand unsure what kind of pandemic is spreading across the world.

Thunderbolt and lightning

No wait that's not it

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah you've got your "frightening" scale mixed up,

"Thunderbolt and lightning" are on the "very very frightening" end

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, what you are saying is that everyone was Kung Fu fighting?

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 11 points 2 days ago

Those cats were fast as lightning

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Totally misses the people at sea who were kung fu fighting.

And presumptuously colors uninhabited areas.

highly academic

Bro, I can't even leave the house without these fucking ninjas at my door. I do another triple spin kick to the face this week and my knees will be done for.

Quite lucky that it happened on the one day in history where there were no people in any of the seas!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I find this highly suspect. You're telling me there wasn't a single person Kung Fu fighting in the ocean? It somehow only affected people on land?

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 5 points 2 days ago

They were only at sea for transit, and they were fast as lightning, so they were actually on land while fighting

I question the author of this infographic with regard to the source material providing the data.

During 1974 Pavel Senko, D.D.Maksutov, V.S.Ignatov, V.I.Serdyukov, N.A.Kornilov of the Soviet Union were leading the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions. The original source material cites "everyone" so the exclusion of these 5 gentlemen and the entire continent of Antarctica raises questions about the validity of the graphic.

Ah yes my father told me about the mid 70s kung-fu crisis, he said it was a little bit frightening
