Maps, you have to love them! As a kid in the pre-internet age, I spent many an hour poring over my precious atlas, memorizing countries, their capital cities, rivers, mountain ranges, flags...Dreaming of visiting them all, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
But not all types of maps are useful. Some, even the most detailed world maps with countries show.. nothing helpful in particular. However, as the page 'Terrible Maps' proves, you can still have fun with them! This tongue-in-cheek collection of cartography-based funny memes and jokes is sometimes absurd and other times surprisingly informative, but funny jokes with geography and world maps are always a good laugh! Scroll down below to check out the funny drawings and useless information for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Amazingly Comprehensive Map Of Every Country In The World That Uses The Mmddyyyy Format

I still remember years ago (in the UK), a few years after 9/11, when someone came in and said it was disgusting how everyone had forgotten about the attacks and we should have a minutes silence. It was 9th November... true story.

As an informatician, everyone should use YYYYMMDD. Then "alphanumerical" order is chronological order too. Be KISS Folks!

That one actually drove me nuts when I had an American client at a job once! Not as much as having to send Americans text documents though. That happened at another job previously. They don't use A4 and I had to convert everything into their weird "letter" format.

Another thing that gets on my nerves is separating big numbers with commas- for example they write a million 1,000,000 instead of 1 000 000. Some countries use the comma as a decimal symbol and it's super confusing when americans do that.

Most often October 25th, 2018. And it's very confusing reading dd/mm/yyyy, especially if dd and mm are less than 12.

Really Makes You Think
Marija Natkova Em Todorova 7 years ago
Once upon a time, war broke out among Norwegian Vikings. One band launched the boats and fled. They discovered a green island and settled. Afraid that their enemies might pursue them, they sent word back to Norway that their island was actually an ice-land, but that another island — more distant, larger and indeed covered by ice — was inhabitable green-land. And so the green island became Iceland, and the icy island became Greenland.

Popes/Mi²
Symbole Simple 7 years ago
It says 1 pope/square mile. And my guess is there must be a green dot where the Vatican is supposed to be.
Maps have always been fascinating, especially when they are paired with creative and humorous memes.
This reminds one of the playful nature of online discussions, similar to the humorous names internet users brainstormed in response to Brexit. It’s amazing how humor becomes a universal language, whether through maps or clever wordplay.
