    I thought you were a Geography Major?

    (whispers sensually in his ear) I am.

    Projecting a Mercator projection onto a curved surface… Greenland doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment.

    At least the map includes New Zealand

      You think the treatment of GREENLAND is bad? See if you can find the tiny spike that the peninsula and hundreds of islands that is Denmark has been reduced to on this 😄

        Greenland is the most obvious (to my eye) case of the distortion that Mercator projection causes at near-polar latitudes.

        I’m not anywhere near as confident that I could say what shape Denmark is at the best of times.

    Having that tattoo 100 years ago and over decades must have sucked…

    Yeah, it’s me again, please remove the border and re-color Poland, Austria, …

    Nevermind, German lost, change the color back and add borders…

      I’m guessing the person with this tattoo gets them colored in once they’ve visited that country, which if so I think that’s pretty cool

        It’s just bragging with your privilege.
        There’s nothing really exciting about having visited lots of countries anymore. Just means you have a couple grand to burn each year on flights, and don’t care about the climate.

          There’s plenty of ways to visit countries that won’t involve flying. Some of those quite CO2 neutral.

      Luckily, he hasn’t gotten Sudan colored in yet so there’s still time to draw the new border.

      But that’s the problem with a tattoo like this: imagine having to get a cover-up because some inconsiderate separatist jerks won their “freedom and right of self-determination,” SMH!

      They might’ve got the tattoo before South Sudan split from Sudan.
