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

MODERATORS
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.

This has to be a joke right? Some dots are in the ocean
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 think it's a small island?
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)/¯
Surety these are trolls, especially the ones putting it in the ocean…
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.
I think Iran is its own planet somewhere in andromeda galaxy.
That there is (n+1) people who in identifying a desert, Farsi speaking, country chose the ORKNEY ISLANDS...smh
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?
In fairless they may of just answered wrong
Tbh, as a central european i am very much concerned about the amount of americans putting iran in central europe lol
Better invade all these places to be safe

As a Brazilian, I wasn't aware of how many cities and towns named "Iran" we had, especially throughout the state of Amazonas (guess what is located in Amazonas that USA wants to snatch so badly?). Gonna visit Iran someday, but it seems like a long travel. At least the most geographically close Iran from where I live would be "Irã, Paraná". 😅
Guess where we dropping booyyyss 🤠
Yeeeehhhaaawww!
As a Scandinavian: Phew.
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.
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
TIL
Looks like the sequel became a much bigger hit.
Not according to some mapmakers apparently. 😢

Thought process:
"Iran? Like a marathon? That could be anywhere"

🎵 And Iran, Iran so far away-ay-ay 🎵
Are these schoolchildren? Adults? People in retirement homes? All ages?
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.
