30 Maps That Show Much More Than Just A Location Of A Country

I heard that if you shrunk earth to the size of a snooker ball, it would feel smoother than the ball!

Yes!

There are topographical globes you can get.

same!

"an amazing sensory widget for stimming" What the f does that mean ???? Seek help there buddy

The Andes? Aren't they at the end of the Wristies? ;-)

And tasty snacks!

The Ask a Mortician YouTube channel made a great video about this story too.

It is said that had they gone the exact opposite direction, they would have found help within a one-day-long walk.

Not that you saw.

We learned that early, but that's because we were in south Africa, and it's not one eighth the size of Greenland, which is how it appears on Mercator. Mrs Moorhouse soon sorted that one out.

I did learn that in school. Maybe you weren't paying attention

I'd just stick with a nice Pacific Island!

The only parties allowed over there ....

But just for the wildife. As a human, you don't wanna live there ....

Nervous system of the Roman Empire

Or a root system

or a river estuary

Makes me nervous looking at it.

And looking at it makes me nervous.

To a wisdom tooth? 🙀

It is.

I didn't know that there was a road to Ireland.

But more seriously, this map is meaningless without saying how it was compiled. You can make all roads lead anywhere if you take the right turnings - after all, it's not like you end up in Rome every time you leave the house, is it?

I remember when this was pooh-poohed by the scientific establishment in the 1950s and have LOVED watching them get proven wrong again and again and again ever since.

Same here! The teacher acted like I was crazy for saying they fit together.

this is not an accurate map

I remember my California cousins visiting us in the Midwest one summer and being nervous about the possibility of a tornado. We were like, California has earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, but tornados are scary?

Same. I was born, raised, and spent 25 years in the suburbs of Los Angeles County, and in that 25 years I remember exactly ONE lightning/thunderstorm. I now live in Iowa and there is definitely no shortage of lightning producing storms. ...and I love every single one of them!

I grew up there and actually witnessed it SNOWING. January 1976 or so. It never quite made it to the ground, but they let the whole school out to watch, anyway. I didn't see a real snowfall until I was 20, in the Army, and training in New Jersey. Still not colder than Candlestick on a summer day.

Always makes me SMH when I watch a TV show or a movie that's supposed to be taking place in CA. but there's always, always, thunder and lighting every time it rains. So Bay Area.

That’s so BIZARRE.

GTFO! We get thundersnow from time to time here in Michigan! The summer storms are really lively with lightening. Holy cow...

I'm not a meteorologist, but I think air pressure and humidity have a lot to do with it

What, air and silicates

But the other half of the population is also there...

I think they mostly represent sand

Half is still half, regardless of how much area it's spread over, so yes they do. Stop being brainwashed by revisionist nonsense.
