I am loving the scribbling out of New Zealand from the map
- There is nothing worth thinking about under the black smudge
  
  As an Australian , as far as I know there is just a long white cloud over endless ocean over that spot there. Satellite imagery proves it. 🤷‍♂️
  
  How to piss off:
  
  All kiwis
  
  All LOTR fans
  
  Half of the people who live in QLD...
- Don't be silly, New Zealand doesn't exist.
As an Aussie I don't think Tasmania should've been coloured in green here.

(P.S. I love Tasmania this is just a joke)
- As an Aussie I don't think Tasmania should be on the map at all.
  
  Yeah, pass them over to us (the unmentionable to the east), we'll have 'em!
Tell me you're not Jesus without telling me that you're not Jesus.
What is that black area?
- Nothing you need to worry about mate.
  
  An aussie saying "nothing to worry about"... Holy shit, it's giant spiders, innit?
- Part of the joke. New Zealand.
With two buoyant enough platforms you can walk anywhere.
- TIL that land is infinitely buoyant.
  
  Not infinitely. But we are buoyant enough for walking on it.
- Treadmill on a boat.
you can't walk TO somewhere where you already are
- Tell that to the treadmill.
I love how NZ is just marked out for no reason.
- They know what they did.
- He lost buoyancy with those holes in his feet.
Anyone could walk to Australia in Pangea.

Up to about 200m years ago...

Mind you, I'm in Australia and wouldn't dare try to walk to some parts of Australia...
- First Nations people walked here about 65k years ago so it was possible still for a fairly long time.
not with that attitude
Jesus bout to end this maps career
Yes.
80% of Risk games, 60% of the way through the game
I bet there's a way over from PNG
Jesus could
