We all know map making was far superior 500 years ago. Those satellites only messed things up.
Sure. But don’t call me “500 year old map”. #commaSplice
Oh yes, Eastern Brazil was a rusty red plain in the early colonial era
I know it’s a shitpost but my mind immediately goes to Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
Thank god for global warming fixing this! We’ll achieve normalcy soon enough
Too bad nuclear winter will cancel it out.
That would raise the sea level almost as fast, and probably more than if the polar ice caps just melted on their own. Also didn’t it come from a comet? Last I checked comet ice isn’t the cleanest ice, it’s full of fun stuff like ammonia, cyanide, and formaldehyde.
“Just like daddy pits in his dwink every morning… and then he gets mad.”
Thus solving the problem once and for all
……but what about….
also this map aint 500 years old. That sure looks like north america to me
They don’t want you to know about the lost expedition of 1524. This map is the only surviving evidence of when the famous explorer from Genoa The Barone Giusseppe Palloncino took his high altitude hot air balloon over the entire northern hemisphere.
I see four white rectangles there. If that’s not proof of snow, then I don’t know what to tell you.
Man, I cant believe someone left the Antarctic freezer on for 500 years.
Finally shows the True Flat Eart too!
It also doesn’t melt! They just add it to the ice wall around the ‘known world’ or make ice cream from it
Okay, okay, alright, somebody, someone somewhere…
You have to tell me, how the fuck do they make money from being intentionally stupid?
How the fuck?
There’s no way they’re doing this by accident.
There’s no way they’re actually this stupid.
There has to be an angle.
What the fuck is the angle?
How the fuck are they funding their lives by saying shit like this?
I’m convinced none of these people actually believe this stuff and they just think they are being funny
Engagement bait. Algorithm recommends them to more people. They get more money from ads.
The angle is having an ingroup. Build a community around absolutely anything and people will come, just so they can belong. Flat earth is just one of these. Flerfers are funny because it’s so absurd, but the same psychology is at play for e.g. the manosphere, local sports teams and anything else if you look hard enough.
And they pay the bills via advertising. Another win for capitalism. Yay.Apparently twitter has a system where they’ll pay you for posts with a lot of attention, regardless of it’s quality. Pays less than minimum wage but some do it full time anyways.
Having followers is a path to monetizing new lies against them in the future… best I’ve got.
Garbage in, garbage out
Combination of targeted oil money bribery + whipping up tribalism, some explicitly sell their souls while others tie their self-worth to a lie
what’s the angle
They want to make people suspicious of those who tell them that this year is the hottest since we started keeping records, and that is a big fucking problem that will probably cost us every low lying country and every coastal city and every beach
In Kim Stanley Robinson’s near future sci-fi people dredge up the old beaches to build new beaches
Selling “secret knowledge” to stupid people has always been a profitable grift
Finally! A map that disproves New Zealand.
They had to build a really tall ladder to get this view. Quite the project.
I honestly thought this was a picture of a dirty dinner plate.
what cured ass projection is this?
