There is no escape.
I live in Georgia (please help)
Which one.
The good Ole US
Imma come rescue you.
There goes my hero.
Are we formin’ an escape line?
I’m willing to help, so long as once I’m out, the only reason you ask me to return involves fire.
I have a very strong “Flight or Sherman” response.
I am closer to you
Crazy how much more of the world is closer to Georgia than Georgia
Nah, exactly 50% “of the world” is closer to Georgia than Georgia because the dividing line forms two perfect hemispheres. It just doesn’t seem like it because more of the world’s land area is closer to Georgia.
The fact that the map fails to color in the oceans doesn’t help, of course.
Is it because of the Mercator projection?
I’m just as annoyed by the overuse of the Mercator projection as the next guy, but no, I don’t think we can blame it in this particular instance. Consider the similar case of a day/night map, which pretty clearly reads as 50/50 even when it’s Mercator:
(Upon further scrutiny comparing these two maps, I think the missing Antarctica might be a factor too.)
Also, relevant XKCD.
Damn, I never realized that Georgia is actually bigger than Georgia
Together they form The United States of Georgia^TM
There is another
The country of Georgia in the former USSR.
No. The island of Georgia
The name of that island is “South Georgia,” not just “Georgia.”
It’sa Georgia
unless you’re like Ray Charles, then georgia is always on your mind
I was thinking this may have confused people following the trump indictments, but then I realized most people don’t know a Georgia exists outside of the US and I got sad because I couldn’t be witty to strangers on the interwebs.
“outside of the US”? What’s that? You mean like Alaska? /s
Bruh, he’s talking about Canada and Mexico! I think Georgia is one of the Canadian states.
Georgia on my mind
