The world is deeply divided… into automatic and manual transmission cars. I would guess that Norway only recently shifted to automatic transmission in lockstep with the electric vehicle boom.

Seen among the Flipboard chum, this piece of #aislop that gets worse the longer you look at it.

The preview card image of a story titled “Best Norway Sweden Finland Itinerary 10 Days”. Most of it is a cute-looking illustrated map, though placing Stockholm somewhere in northern Germany, Oslo around Jönköping, and Helsinki in Latvia.

Grabbed this from my friend Abigail Osborne, on FB. She's a collage artist and a bloody good one at that! Go see her work. She's not on here. But also OMG I love this map! 😂

#australiahumour #maps #badmaps #woomba #fun
Image of the outline of Australia. I side it is yellow. Outside it is green. Theres a big dot labelled "Toowoomba" in the East. And there's a label for the rest of the continent which says "Insufficiently Woomba". The 'map' has a white label at the top, left-hand corner for "Terrible Maps"

#Kentucky schools used an LLM-generated US map for a week with numerous states mislabeled including — you guessed it — #KY, or “Venecky.”

I like ‘New Mizone’ and ‘Lookoong’ 🤣

Births fell more in places where you could get an iPhone in the early years To test that theory, she makes clever use of an accident of history that creates a kind of natural experiment. When iPhones first came out, they worked only with AT&T. "In some areas of the country, AT&T had broadband coverage and you could get an iPhone, and in other areas, including where I live in Vermont, that coverage was much more limited," Myers recalls. "And what you can see in this simplest of comparisons, births start to fall in the places where you can get one, and they're not falling nearly as much in the places where you can't." One might argue the results are skewed because smartphones spread faster in urban areas or wealthier communities. But the results hold up even when Myers controlled for variables like population density and local economics.

"The county’s GIS department was not involved, he added. The GIS team created a new map that went out to news outlets Wednesday after the AJC asked about the irregularities."

Spotted in John Lewis in Norwich. Love the colour but:
* Mercator projection? Really?
* Japan?
* Indonesia??
* Madagascar??!
* Caspian Sea??!!!!

#maps #BadMaps #mercator
A colourful map of the world with a number of issues, including a missing Japan, shrunken Indonesia, Madagascar far in to the Indian Ocean, and the Caspian Sea relocated to somewhere on the borders of India, Pakistani and Afghanistan. And it’s a Mercator projection.

Caption reads: " #Norway extends Farther North, South, East and West than 61 #countries."

😵‍💫
Wtf - It's a map with an inexplicable part highlighted. Makes no sense. Wish I could help here. Norway extends farther north, south, East and West than 61 countries.

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

federateuk.bsky.social UK Federation @federateuk.bsky.social · May 19
Eh? I'm talking about a UK federation of around 12 regions and nations - like Germany, Spain, Canada or Australia. Or even Scotland and Wales.

That's how we improve political control. The result will be the British become more comfortable sharing sovereignty with the rest of Europe.

NBC Newsis apparently financially supported by an insurance company that is so confident in the power of AI that they don't even check the legitimacy of their own thumbnail.

#badmaps #NBC
Ad from NBC News features an image of an AI made US map. Many states have incorrect acronyms and inconsistent borders. New England is the greatest victim, with scribbles replacing their labels.
