JCC Terr's Interesting Map Thread (Image Heavy)

Not even one in Alaska or Hawaii?

 

Yeah that one seems off to me, although in Hawaii's case, I suppose when you live in relative paradise, there's not too terribly much to hate on. Or, at least not enough to have people be able to organize hate groups.

40 Maps They Didn't Teach You In School

My favourites from there:

Map of countries officially not using the metric system (in other words, lol @ USA )


Beer names in different European languages:


Most consumed alcoholic beverage by country:


World map that inverts land and sea (although it seems to assign altitude and depth arbitrarily):


US map according to autocomplete:


7 deadly sins map:


The world's population concentrated in one city:


Map of the Earth With Mercator Projection Using a Different Centerpoint:




Most popular sports in the world:




Although, I must strongly complain about this one:

I like this thread

 

Rhode Island's sums up the state pretty well

I like Montana, Delaware, Minnesota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Nevada

Shocking how few people use the internet in Russia... I guess I didn't imagine it would be a whole lot, but it's just weird seeing it in comparison to the surrounding countries.

 

I couldn't resist Googling what New Mexico's meant. Wow... that state truly is subject to no stereotypes/armpit jokes if a science story is its top hit.

 

Not a whole lot of people in Siberia.

 

Minnesota is so adorably insecure.
