Climate change

no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the rocky/smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

  I'm sorry. Im just sensitive to disinformation and apparently not sensitive enough to humor.
  
  Damn...I was looking forward to my future as a Burgundian
- Florida not being underwater is the first clue this isn't a legit map lmao
  
  And what's the deal with Lake Superior, does it get filled in?
  
  Also Louisiana lol
- Thank you for explaining it. I was trying to find Sadam Hussain.
- There’s Black Sea too. I swear it exists, I saw it!

Why is Florida still there?
- That's how you know the map is fake.
  
  No joke, that was the first hint.
- Wait are you serious? It's the Mediterranean Sea
  
  No, but I never miss a chance to punch down at Florida.
- America took viagra.
  
  America needs to call a doctor, it's infected now.
- Because the ocean will reach the middle of the continent trough the mountains North America has close to its West, not through the plains on the South-East.
  Can't you read a map?
- It's actually mirrored Norway
- Like roaches, really hard to kill.
- They tied the state to Trump and told him he gets to debate Biden. The hot air is keeping them afloat.
- Because this is a shitpost and not at all based on reality unless giant chunks of the land get carved away in this specific shape, through mountains and deserts.

Florida survived 😣
- America’s penis will be the last thing poking outta the water.
- Little known fact, Florida floats
- It eventually got so hot it got SWOLL and rose up out of the sea.

On the bright side, new Italy unlocked
- Venice, North Dakota
- 2nd Italy would be really nice about right now, ya know?

I feel like only about ten percent of commenters even looked at the image.
- And of those, only 5% know what the mediterranean sea looks like

I came into the comments ready to go off then I saw the fkn boot rofl
- Maybe someone needs to start a science shitposts community

There it is, the long lost city of Atlanta!
- "Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant the, uh...the airport."

jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao
- And Florida! They will be the first to go.
  
  What can I do to expedite global warming? I want to do my part.

It will be the perfect place to restore the Roman Empire.

the remnants of nebraska
- It's-a Nebrask-a!
  
  🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌

Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn't on this one.

At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising
Then I saw Italy
- Ah common mistake

This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Any fucking time, any fucking day Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay
- Some say the end is near
  
  Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon

Dear God, *hio still exists, truly the worst timeline.
- I just found out that I am actually from Iowa ¯(ツ)/¯
  
  My condolences

With this map, the Panama Canal will no longer be necessary.
- North Panamarica

Nothing of value was lost.

Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.
- So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you're describing is the main issue with climate change.
  It's not going to be "the day after tomorrow". It will be coastal cities... which are... like nearly ALL of them... losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say "what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it's sure to have severe damage?".
  For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the "going" is going to be very, very ugly.
  
  On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.
- I'm Finnish, but also live on the coast.
  And my city, Turku, has these signs all over the place about where the sea level used to be, like just a few thousand years ago. And those signs are at the top of a hill, where there's an observatory.

This is so med.

Brb, moving to northern Dakitaly

Damn, somehow failed to get rid of Florida...

I see nothing but improvements.

In closing, Carthage must be destroyed.
-Trump the Elder

I know this is bullshit because I still see Florida

I'd love to have a great seaside property in Montana. I'll call up Aquaman Realtors ASAP!

im just glad the rockies are underwater
- At least New Orleans and Florida are spared.
  
  thats not a good thing
- Water is now flowing up. Truly chaotic times.

I guess thats one way to turn the central states 'blue'

The mental climate change of people not being able to read & assess data is truly abhorrent and will demolish the ability to understand maps vs memes.

Oh, US finally getting universal healthcare!

Who is we? Stop putting this at the feet of the poor and telling me it's my job to fix what billionaires are causing
- We are the people of Earth. We should not tolerate land rape by corporations, governments, religions or billionaires.
  Or anyone else, for that matter

!cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee is leaking!

Arma 3's lore has a lot of explaining to do

We are going to lose some of our mountains to flooding

This would significantly improve Oklahoma

I’ll finally be able to swim to Vegas.

What scientists are these? Fully half of the U.S. is going to be underwater in the next thirty years?
Bull fucking shit.
- It's not real, that's the Mediterranean sea.
  
  I knew something was up when literal mountains in the black hills were under but the great plains along the great rivers were totally fine.
- It seems the memes about Americans not knowing geography are correct?
- science_memes
  
  I got too heated lol, forgot to check what neighborhood I was in.
- An optimistic scientist
- Inb4 someone calls you anti-science for this

This has a distinct lack of saddam hussein

It's nobody's business but the Turks!

Pueblo, Colorado delenda est

Nebraska's gonna get the boot

They'd ... switch to metric?
- This would be the dream

There's no way Ohio isn't sunk.
- I won't let it
- The very southern parts are more hilly as they never sat under a glacier and all the other water drains into the caves. Water doesn't want to become ice and is scared those glaciers might come back if they get any ideas about northward expansion.
  
  Yeah that's where I live.

I call the Amalfi coast
- I call Lake Como. Always wanted to live on Naboo with grandma.

Hi i'm from Cagliari(Northern Colorado)

Oh cool I’ll have a new beachfront property /s

We’re going to get Italy? Awesome!

Nebraska will have the best pizza. It's-a great news!

Greybull, Wyoming? Nice!

Well that explains where Italy went

Tennessea
- I know, I've been on the wrong side of climate change all along!

Wouldn’t be missed.

From the looks of it, I'll eventually be living on some waterfront property.

Oh sweet I'll have some nice oceanfront property to inherit. Thanks global warming.
- I'm gonna move to New Naples, sell unreasonably good coffee and very expensive tourist trinkets.

Florida man asserts his dominance.

All roads lead to Grand Island, Nebraska
