Probably this is because I'm more familiar with the map of Australia than of the US, but Melbourne seems to have moved quite a bit to the east and is now presumably in Gippsland? Oddly that's the most jarring change for me... Zoid42 (talk) 20:26, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Yep. Melbourne Florida. 172.70.47.10 21:56, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

An eight-legged gator with fangs the size of your arm, six eyes, and the ability to spin webs is truly a horrifying thought. P?sych??otic?pot??at???o (talk) 21:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

At that point most of the NT would become to dangerous for people to live. SomeRandomNerd (talk) 23:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

If find it weird how tasmania is florida, as while they are in the same place, they are the least alike 2 places you could think of. SomeRandomNerd (talk) 22:35, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. If cartoons and television have taught me anything, one is home to a bunch of snarling, slobbering, ravenous beasts, moving across the landscape as whirlwinds of wanton destruction. And the other is Tasmania. 172.64.238.130 04:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Part of the joke is that the contiguous 48 States plus DC have nearly the same area as Australia, though the US has a larger total area. 141.101.109.166 01:00, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

As an Australian citizen, this map hurts my soul. This is amazingly painful and I kinda love it. OmniDoom (talk) 01:36, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I apparently now live in Adelaide/Louisiana (or New Orleans/South Australia). FourW (talk) 06:32, 17 October 2024 (UTC)FourW

Environmentalists will be upset with Randal for finally finishing the Cross Florida Barge Canal. And just in time for the centennial!--The Mess (talk) 07:33, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

I was wondering if it was a sidelong comment upon the effects of Hurricane Milton... 172.70.160.188

No, no, no. It's the Gap Chasm.[1]

The distortion of Washington State, where I live, is painful, but funny. Can't wait for comic 3000! 172.71.146.58 16:00, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Being about to shift to the right at an election next weekend, it is very prescient (and scary) that SE Queensland, where I live, is in North Carolina. 172.68.64.212 18:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Request: Map Merge/Morph

Could someone please post a simple map outline of the contiguous US and of Australia, and then try to merge / morph the two maps together? 172.70.47.88 17:24, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

could you please elaborate on how you want to merge these two maps? 42.book.addict (talk) 18:22, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
