A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
The points chosen so far off from Iran just prove the point in a perverse way. The people are stupid, uneducated, or just willfully being assholes by choosing the wrong places. Just go ahead and lump them together. One set is damaging because of ignorance, the rest due to malice. Pretty much sums up trump and his followers.
Tbh, as a central european i am very much concerned about the amount of americans putting iran in central europe lol
I need to know the source of this because this has to be fake or trolls because all of those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly and can't be for real
This is someone just hitting an iPad leaving a grocery store to move on with their life
those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly
Correct
and can't be for real
Likely incorrect. You'd be shocked at how profoundly stupid and/or misinformed some people are in a country that routinely robs its public education system to pay churches and private corporations..
Do you honestly think those data points in the Atlantic are genuine and not trolling?
Yes
if it was a fox news poll i'd pick 1600 pennsylvania avenue in DC specifically.
Another map without New Zealand!
New Zealand doesn't exist. Birds and giraffes either.
But does it have Old Zealand?
Technically, yes. Province in Netherlands, actual name Zeeland.
TIL
Looks like the sequel became a much bigger hit.
Not according to some mapmakers apparently. 😢
New Zealand certainly has the nicer mountains.
I thought Zeeland was part of Denmark.
wait hold up i now have to have a head to head competition of who has the better cheese
nothing is more important
Thought process:
"Iran? Like a marathon? That could be anywhere"
🎵 And Iran, Iran so far away-ay-ay 🎵
marathon is in greece. i'm pretty sweaty. shower's over there. must be in america
This has to be a joke right? Some dots are in the ocean
maybe they think it's a small island?
Buster: ovbiously, the blue part here is land.
I'd love to think that, but this is America, where basic geography might as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics to most people.
10th grade history we didn't do history, we did maps and had to memorize all the countries. if we sang the song (without mumbling) we got bonus points.
Maybe they're thinking the current Iranian state succeeded Atlantis and they're placing the latter in the Atlantic instead of the Mediterranean, as Dr. Jones correctly did after reading the Hermocrates? ¯\(°_o)/¯
That there is (n+1) people who in identifying a desert, Farsi speaking, country chose the ORKNEY ISLANDS...smh
Looks like they got Iraan, TX correct
Now that‘s an explanation! They never heard of Iran as a country and thought it was a random-ass city. And since they didn’t know where it was, they guessed the center of the US!
Iraan, TX is a real place, though it's pronounced "Ira-Ann."
Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.
"We're Number 2!"
every place is known for something. what does ira-ann make? like, big ball of twine? bacon factory? help me out. wastewater treatment? they are number two.
Oil
Surety these are trolls, especially the ones putting it in the ocean…
Are these schoolchildren? Adults? People in retirement homes? All ages?
That one person who has it in for Arizona.
Honestly, Iran sounds more pleasant.
hey, i know a couple really nice greek restaurants (and by extension, families) in phoenix. they just made some really big mistakes by moving to phoenix.
No, Jeremy. This is the chart that Ann sneezed on with a mouthful of cheerios.
The actual distribution plot is still in the printer. Go get it.
I think Iran is its own planet somewhere in andromeda galaxy.
How many data points you think that is something like 5,177? HAY chatGPT HOW MANY NUKES DOSE AMERICA HAVE?
...
What a wonderful coincidence.
Most of them were fairly close.
Quite a few up in Greenland. Maybe this explains Trump's confusion about that.
Americans are extremely dumb so this does not surprise me at all.
hey! we may be americans, and we may be extreme, but, uh, what was the third thing you said?
