I need to know the source of this because this has to be fake or trolls because all of those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly and can't be for real

those in the western hemisphere or in the ocean are just silly
Correct
and can't be for real
Likely incorrect. You'd be shocked at how profoundly stupid and/or misinformed some people are in a country that routinely robs its public education system to pay churches and private corporations..
This has to be a joke right? Some dots are in the ocean
I'd love to think that, but this is America, where basic geography might as well be Egyptian hieroglyphics to most people.
Buster: ovbiously, the blue part here is land.
Surety these are trolls, especially the ones putting it in the ocean…
Americans are extremely dumb so this does not surprise me at all.
How many data points you think that is something like 5,177? HAY chatGPT HOW MANY NUKES DOSE AMERICA HAVE?
...
What a wonderful coincidence.
Tbh, as a central european i am very much concerned about the amount of americans putting iran in central europe lol
Better invade all these places to be safe
As a Scandinavian: Phew.
All of those dots on Greenland explains what 's going on right now
Are these schoolchildren? Adults? People in retirement homes? All ages?
Thought process:
"Iran? Like a marathon? That could be anywhere"
🎵 And Iran, Iran so far away-ay-ay 🎵
Another map without New Zealand!
But does it have Old Zealand?
Technically, yes. Province in Netherlands, actual name Zeeland.
TIL
Looks like the sequel became a much bigger hit.
Not according to some mapmakers apparently. 😢
New Zealand certainly has the nicer mountains.
Isn't this one just cropped?
Most of them were fairly close.
Many of them were fairly close, but with 23% in the borders I wouldn't judge that most were, if I look where I think half the dots are it's starting to get quite far into Europe, Africa, India or China. Which imo should all be fairly easy to rule out, but shrug
I think Iran is its own planet somewhere in andromeda galaxy.
Quite a few up in Greenland. Maybe this explains Trump's confusion about that.
Looks like they got Iraan, TX correct
Now that‘s an explanation! They never heard of Iran as a country and thought it was a random-ass city. And since they didn’t know where it was, they guessed the center of the US!
Iraan, TX is a real place, though it's pronounced "Ira-Ann."
Iraan is the second largest town in the second largest county in the second largest state in the United States, which is the second largest country in North America.
"We're Number 2!"
No, Jeremy. This is the chart that Ann sneezed on with a mouthful of cheerios.
The actual distribution plot is still in the printer. Go get it.
That one person who has it in for Arizona.
Honestly, Iran sounds more pleasant.
I wonder if this is because they often use an America centered map
Or because people don't take it seriously, such as the ones who selected the ocean.
Nah, they just thought the white was the landmass
