Embarrassed by how long it took me to realize it was not South America
I drew the Mexico states by memory

OHH, it’s Africa, I’m so fucking retarded.

Lol. I thought the Falkland Islands looked a lot like Madagascar I just somehow never looked at the rest of the map.

Seriously. I was like “okay, Brazil is in the right general area, but obviously the wrong shape. Argentina is definitely not there. Chile is along the coast, so I’ll allow it. I honestly couldn’t say what all the northern countries are, and… wait, what the hell is the north connecting to, that looks like the middle east.
Jesus Christ, that’s Africa.”

Brazil is no longer a state in Mexico after it moved to China.

Boy, I was really like, “But that isn’t Mexico…”
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I spent way too long thinking the biggest problem was that Argentina was in the wrong place. Technically, it was in fact in the wrong place.

Mexico, you say? Pretty sure if Yakko saw this, he wouldn’t start singing about countries. He’d just give the camera a disapproving head shake and say “I give up. You kids are on your own. Public schooling clearly isn’t helping…” and walk off screen.

You forgot Texas
Phegan@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I learned recently that the theme park “six flags” is short for six flags over Texas. One of those flags is the Confederate flag. They are celebrating being under the Confederate flag…at a theme park.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 months ago
To be fair it’s nowhere near the normal lost cause stuff. The other flags are Spain, Mexico, France, Texas, and the United States. They aren’t specifically calling it out, it’s just there, as one of the flags that flew over Texas.

Even though it’s the wrong continent, if OP did this by memory, their geography is great! There are many people that would need to look at a map.

I would have been more impressed if you had done it all as a mirror image of South America in the shape of Africa.

Falkland Islands
Yes, this checks out.
pooberbee@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Just the one Falkland, actually.

If you'd zoomed out a little more you could've included Ibiza to the north, where the Mayans started out before expanding north towards disneyland, or the Azores to the west, the base used by the Polynesians to obtain sweet potatoes from the Ghanaians.

I didn’t realize Paraguay had 3 shores of Lake Titicaca. Great map!

Pretty amazing that Iguazu Falls and Victoria Falls ended up in roughly the same place!
