it came to my attention that my previous post on basic geography https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14620875 had toledo in the wrong spot, thanks @ramble81@lemm.ee for the catch!
I can’t think of a worse insult than to call a place Ohio. Spain deserves so much better
I don’t know. I think calling France ‘Quebec’ is pretty up there.
In an addition to the collection of Catholic religious objects used for swearing, the French just need to learn one word to be assimilated:
Onetokébekicitte!!!

Hey I don’t make the rules, I just report the geography
Portugal being Indiana would annoy me if I was Portuguese. Like sure Ohio has problems but the only reason no one makes fun of Indiana is because of how boring of a state it is. The only things that state is know for is the Indy 500 and producing the most vice presidents that never became presidents. The highest point in Indiana is marked by a rock in a grove of trees next to a corn field. Imagine how boring of a person Mike Pence is and then realize he is the embodiment of the entire state.
I’ve always wanted to go to Indiana after Indiana Jones. I mean, he voluntarily chose that name…
Without even getting out of us states I can think of maybe Utah, Alabama, Mississippi… but Spain has always struck me more as the Florida of Europe, like a place for retired folk from the north and for young people to party in spring/summer.
…king’s island was pretty cool fourty years ago: the bat, the beast, the racer, the beastie, that little eiffel tower, i even won a couple of stuffed animals…
Toldeo, Spain is actually in approximately the correct place.
Yes, as noted in the original post Toledo is now in the correct location
Somehow I didn’t see that. Thanks for pointing it out!
If I was from Michigan I think I’d be pissed if someone swapped my state for Quebec.
This map is fully accurate, Michigan is just off the map
Where, the Azores? Why no inset?
Valid criticism, but out of the scope for the map. Maybe in the next edition, if my publisher funds it
It took me a second to realize the landmasses were from an actual map, not just a custom one.
