dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

With so many points placed in the middle of the ocean...I have to wonder what those responders were thinking, especially because I assume they had to volunteer to answer and were not forced to. Like was it all trolling, and doing something 'funny' was more important than actually attempting to answer? Was the act of thinking and guessing just like, too much effort to put in, so they click randomly anywhere just to be done with it? Were people so afraid of guessing the wrong country, so it felt safer to not pick one at all? Were people so unfamiliar with looking at maps that they confused which color represented countries and which was water? All of the other misplaced dots are worrying as well for other reasons, but the ones in the ocean just have my head spinning. If it's all just trolls, I guess well played, you got me.

I'm wondering how many of them just didn't hear/understand the question and just put a pin in the map so they could get away from the person asking them to put pins in things and interrupting their day.

That could potentially explain a lot of them, actually

Maybe they were using s laptop with a shitty track pad and clicked by accident

Don't know why I didn't think of that possibility, a much more likely answer
