A good map is worth a thousand words. A bad one, on the other hand, is just one, and usually a pretty ugly one.

If you've been on Bored Panda long enough, you probably know that we have a soft spot for cartography. After all, we've already covered it here, here, and here.

So when we discovered the social media project 'A Map A Day', we knew we had to make a publication about it too. Run by a cultural geography and tourism student, it regularly shares all sorts of geographical oddities that challenge the way you see the world.

    The map reads left to right, "you can make these maps say whatever you want by adjusting the methodology, half the time your just amplifying random noise because the underlying data doesn't vary that much from one state to another.

    The evolution of maps has taken a long road. We, humans, have documented our surroundings for thousands of years, in the form of cave paintings, stone tablets, religious maps, printed maps, and the multi-layered digital maps of modern day.

    From ancient Babylon, through the Renaissance, and into the present, mapping history offers a fascinating look into the collective psyche of each period.

    You're not stupid. Please never say that about yourself. The lines indicate how close we are to another person (or animal) over time. The closer the lines are together, the closer we are to that person. So the parent's line shows we are close when we are small, grow apart for awhile (most likely in our teens and early twenties) then get closer again when we come to understand our parent as a person/peer/friend, then the very sad part is the line ends when the parent dies, and we have to continue that journey alone. With the dog it shows they come into our life for a very brief time, we learn to love them as puppies, grow very close to them, and then have to learn to let go of them as they age and die, and we go on alone without them again. <3

    The Imago Mundi (more commonly known as the Babylonian Map of the World) is considered the oldest surviving world map.

    It is currently on display at the British Museum in London and dates back to between 700 and 500 BC. It was found in a town called Sippar in Iraq. The carved map depicts Babylon in the center with places like Assyria and Elam nearby, all surrounded by a “Salt Sea” forming a ring around the cities.

    Outside the ring, eight islands or regions are carved into the tablet. The map is accompanied by a cuneiform text describing Babylonian mythology in the regions depicted on the stone.

    This is heartbreaking! I watched a documentary during Shark Week and it stated that most of the sharks killed are just for their fins. The fins are made into Shark Fin soup. I hope we can make it illegal world wide to kill sharks. The are beautiful and amazing creatures.

    You are quite right, but what I find most upsetting is that some fisherman are removing the fin and just dropping the still very much alive shark back into the water. It sinks and dies a long and painful death. It's just horrific. All for some third rate soup.

    If only the supreme court had ruled gerrymandering unconstitutional.... But the electoral college pretty much guarantees that the supreme court will have more conservative than liberal judges. A republican presidential candidate hasn't won the popular vote since 2004 yet they have appointed 5 of the 7 judges since then.

    And the candidate that won in 2004 got into office in 2000 after losing the popular vote. He got a bunch of folks whipped up into a fury after 2001 and got us into an unjust forever war that got him re-elected in 2004. There's a reason McConnell's number one priority has been packing the courts and obstructing any nominees to federal courts or the supreme when a dem is in office. There's a reason that the party has prioritized winning state legislative races, so they can redistrict and restrict voting access. They know that they don't have the majority of the voters. They can't win a fair fight.

    I'm all in favor of that for the presidency, however the districting issue here in the US has to do with determining what area a congressional representative covers. The Senate is statewide, so strictly popular vote. But each member of the House of Representatives represents a geographical region of a state.

    Eight states in the US use independent redistricting committees. Maybe there's a movement in your state to do the same. It's worth fighting for. In my state, we have a process for citizens to put propositions on the ballot. That's how we changed from the legislature drawing the lines to an independent citizen's commission.

    Wish we could just use the closest voting location to the voters residence. Only changing it if the population gets too high to open up a second location and so on. This whole redistricting thing is so dumb. Nothing like the losing team remaking the rules so they can have a possibility of winning.

    Redistricting *is* changed only in response to population changes. That’s why it coincides with the census. The trouble comes when partisans get to decide how to group like population numbers into districts.

    Redistricting is called redistribution in Australia. If any party attempted to manipulate the process and corrupt it to favour their electoral chances it would be scandalous, probably cause the party to lose the next election, and lead to criminal trials. It is possible to have independence in this process, it just takes will.

    The medieval maps, on the other hand, seem to have been dominated by the church, reflecting the ecclesiastical dogmas and interpretations of Scripture

    But during the late Middle Ages, a great deal of enthusiasm was generated by the travels of Marco Polo in the 1270s and 1280s.

    New information about faraway places, and the stimulation of interest in world maps, promoted their sale and circulation and it was evident that Marco Polo’s experiences inspired the desire for exploration in many.

    I think the biggest problem is that honest media is still a business and needs to bring in revenue to survive to bring the news; they are forced to report on what people want to see. And many other media outlets are already strongly bias because they're owned by big companies (or even countries) that want to protect their profits; they report what they want you to believe.

    This proves what I have been saying all along. The news media is a business first and foremost. Stories about heart disease, cancer and the rest in the first column don't generate sales like the stories of homicide, terrorism and suicide. As for the middle column, well my take is that it's a similar thing. Cancer and diabetes as well as suicide can drum up business with medical professionals and pharmaceuticals. Look at the ads when you do a search on say melanoma skin cancer, leukemia, depression, and type 2 diabetes. It's always all about the money!

    amapaday Report

    Progress in other areas such as navigation, ship design and construction, instruments for observation and astronomy, and general use of the compass helped to improve existing map information, as well as to encourage further exploration.

    Eventually, geographic knowledge was profoundly increased during the 15th and 16th centuries as Columbus, da Gama, Vespucci, Cabot, Magellan, and others made their discoveries, gradually transforming the world maps of those days.

    We do have it too. It's a comparison of cities only. In smaller cities and in the countryside we have a lot of space and big houses! But even there it's at a smaller scale, personally I like it better. Also we don't have many areas with the same houses lined up, a lot are old and so have their own design.

    U.S. Citizen here. Until I traveled around England decades ago, I didn't really understand what was meant by "urban sprawl." This isn't a fight between house and apartment mentality. In most of Europe there are plenty of country houses, and tiny towns dotting countries where you can still have space and country living. The difference is really that most of their cities STOP, whereas American cities sprawl out ad nauseum from cities to suburbs to false-rural before you get to what would be considered genuinely rural. In Europe you often have densely populated citiesm but then they END. They STOP. You get kilometers of beautiful countryside, THEN your clusters of houses in a village, or rural lanes in farmland. They still have both. They just separate city from country much better than the U.S.

    What's all this talk about "walking anywhere" in Europe? Like we can't here in America? We've got tons of bike lanes, sidewalks, nature trails, etc. Our neighborhoods vary from close nit houses to sprawling mansions to high rise apartments...it just depends on where the location is.

    Great. Glad you are happy! Some of us prefer a spacious house and comfortable car. I am much happier in my 2200 square foot home than I was in a cramped, 875 square foot apartment in our downtown area. Yeah, I could walk almost anywhere, but did not have the room for my kid to run around, yard for family fun, gardening interests and cook outs, and fence for my dog to play and run as much as he wants. I can blast my music while cleaning and have no neighbor issues to worry about. I can change the look of my home, expand it, add to it...be creative. It is ALL about what we value and preference. One is not, IMO, better than the other.

    A great deal of European cities were just piles of rubble in 1945, which allowed government to re-zone and re-plan their layout. US cities mostly grew and expanded organically in the post-war era, which is harder to control.

    Arguably the most important aspect of postmedieval maps was their increasing accuracy. It was made possible by continuing exploration.

    Another significant characteristic was a trend toward artistic and colorful rendition, for the maps still had many open areas in which their creators could indulge their imagination. Interestingly, many maps of this age have become sought out collectors' items.

    I live in Missoula. The "Slant Streets" came about when Missoula was actually two towns, divided by a river with no bridge. Each town had a mayor and planner that laid out the town their way. They merged in the early 1900's.

    Downtown Los Angeles looks like this, too, and it comes down to two things: First, the difference between magnetic north and true north ("magnetic declination"). Second, the planner getting the magnetic declination wrong. In LA, the declination between magnetic and true north is something like 12 degrees east, more or less. The planner who laid out downtown LA knew that it was 12 degrees, but got the direction wrong, plotting everything 12 degrees WEST. That put the streets 24 degrees rotated from NS/EW. I would not be surprised if that same thing caused the skewing in many cities.

    I would not be surprised to see our city like this either. For us it would be big squares of residential houses with circles elsewhere for amenities, shops, retails, etc. Everyone needs to ride on the larger road to get anything at all, which creates a lot of stuck traffic anywhere in town.

    This may be due to the original city being non aligned with the compass points, then the city expands beyond the original city charter. My home city of Fresno, CA is the same. I am sure there are many cities like this.

    A reformation of cartography that evolved during the 18th century, however, popularized scientific trends and more accurate detail, thus replacing all the monsters, lions, and swash lines with factual content.

    Soon the only decorative features were in the cartouche and around the borders. The map interiors contained all the increasing information available, often with explanatory notes and attempts to show the respective reliabilities of some portions.

    If earlier mapmakers chased quick, profitable output based on information obtained from reports of travelers and explorers, the new French cartographers were scientists, often men of rank and independent means.

    For expensive ventures, such as the triangulation of two degrees of a meridian to determine the Earth’s size more accurately, they were even subsidized by the king or the French Academy. Similar trends were emerging across all over Europe.

    This shows how foolish those maps are that purport to show high Republican support across the country. Land doesn't vote, people do. But you take a sparsely populated state and color the whole thing red and it looks like this. PEOPLE need representation, not stretches of soil between arbitrary borders.

    Now overlay that with the outlines of the UKs mountain ranges, wetlands and mining areas. Population just looks to be focused on areas that don't involve flattening nature reserves or building on flood planes. And the rest of the yellows are most likely farmland or marshland.

    The assumption was 3.71 people per square meter, which honestly sounds more uncomfortable than the photo looks even if everyone is pretty thin. My guess is that it would get a lot less comfortable, though hardly impossible, if you accounted for actual weights... as long as you spread out the bigger people evenly and not tried to cram e.g. the 4 biggest into the same area as each other.

    Cool fact I learnt hanging out and helping an archaeologist once cos I was bored. Australia - particularly Western Australia has unique soil compaction in which the ‘ time line has been squished over time’, so one metre of digging/sample shows a lot more of the timelines just squished so thin together compared to a European dig which would take kilometres to get to by comparison. It blew me away.

    How do you pronounce "one" and "won" so that they DON'T sound the same??

    Stupid question here - What exactly is this supposed to show? It just shows the percentage of vaccinated people versus unvaccinated with one point of infection in each graph. It certainly doesn't show herd immunity, much less how herd immunity works. If I'm the stupid one, please let me know. Right now, it doesn't make sense, doesn't prove a point, maybe funny if it means anything, but at least they manage to show correct percentage of yellow versus blue. Good job? Maybe if the infection point was red. Oh what do I know? I'm the stupid one after all.

    Need more numbers - how many are infected at one time? Further parameters? Contagious time, speed, size of persons compared to area they're in, duration of infection, infectiousness, ... Anyway, keeping them constant for all, having a number of infected would show that, in every case, having X+ % vaccinated prevents MORE than X % of infections, with X depending on these parameters and how accurate they're able to represent actual reality. Modeling stuff is great for general impressions of cause and effect, but need to be verfified, in order to predict correctly and therefore be able to chose sufficent and effective measures. Side effects could also be modeled, as impact on economy, even happiness, ... ....... To be able to chose those with best effect vs impact ratio.

    USA's population will go down along with many poor, undeveloped countries. (USA isn't poor and is developed in technology and medicine, but it's the Covidiots who are making this pandemic still last.) China's will go down a little bit because the birth rate is low and most of its population lives in packed eastern cities. India's will go down a lot because of its less developed, overpopulated parts, but it'll go right back up with its insanely high birth rate of 2.2 children per woman.

    It looks cool from above, but I would hate to drive here. We have one major roadway in my city that intersects at that sort of angle and I avoid it like the plague. For single-lane streets it's not big deal, but for busy multi-lane roadways it's too hard to tell where all the lanes are supposed to enter on the other side of the intersection.

    Funky Nebraska story... We lived in Nebraska for awhile, and one day whilst visiting the Kool-Aid Museum in Hastings, NE, I commented to a woman there how much a missed the trees and woods of my native Pennsylvania. I said I found it disconcerting how as soon as I left any given town in NE all I saw were miles of fields and prairie, etc. I said it felt very exposed and lonely. She practically spit fire at me, snapping "You and your TREE TUNNELS! I drove in the east once, and it was like being in a prison of trees! How can you feel safe with all those TREES all over you!? I drove for miles and miles through tunnels of trees! It was horrible! You can keep it!" It was an enlightening view of perception (and perhaps a bit of insight into her own relationship with claustrophobia.)

On the other hand Spain and Africa got ripped apart so far the Mediterranean looks like a bay 😄 judging by the level of accuracy the 30 people came from Japan

    Love how Texas is a region yet parts of Texas are in 4 other regions. And Florida is also split.

    And then there’s Nevada. Which doesn’t even get the courtesy of a label. (Nvm I just saw it’s the Great Basin region but it’s a joke)

    Finally somebody is breaking up Pennsylvania correctly. People usually lump us into the Mid-Atlantic (great for Philly and PA-east), or the ORV (as shown ONLY applicable for NW PA. Didn't know about the NE Highlands (makes sense), but ABSOLUTELY yes to the Appalachia region, which too many people neglect our SW part of Pennsylvania from, but which is culturally spot on (with the exception of Pittsburgh which is its own bubble of Heinz-57 culturally, ethnically, etc.)

    If you cut Alaska in 1/2 Texas would become the third largest state. Texas thinks they are the biggest but they aren’t.

    I once flew from Milwaukee to El Paso, Tx. There was a stop to change planes in Dallas, Tx. The flight from MIL to DAL took 2:25, while the flight from DAL to ELP took 1:55! Just a bit shorter flight, and never leaving Texas.

    A trip to the store takes you to another country in Europe. We can travel 3,000 miles and still be in the lower 48. That's how.

    So it's not saying these are the majority populations, but the highest population of people not born in that country. For instance, the majority of foreigners living in Mexico are from the US. The majority of foreigners living in Canada are apparently from China, etc.

    Let me Google that for you : "A T and O map or O–T or T–O map (orbis terrarum, orb or circle of the lands; with the letter T inside an O), also known as an Isidoran map, is a type of early world map that represents the physical world as first described by the 7th-century scholar Isidore of Seville in his De Natura Rerum and later his Etymologiae."
