Show me a map where you get $5 if you’re right
*Pointing directly at washington DC on a map* “yeah yeah of course I know where Iran is. It’s right there. That’s where the US military should be doing it’s thing, this spot I’m pointing at, which is Iran, because I know where that is, see, right there that point right there.”
Time to carpet bomb the capital of evil anti-feminist regime.
Americans and picking one of the countries out on a map their taxes go to bomb, a classic for over 20 years
I was watching Americans guess wildly Iraq was on This Hour Has 22 Minutes over 20 years ago and somehow nothing has changed
I’m the guy who thinks Iran is in the middle of the south Atlantic
It’s like motherbase a series of linked oil rigs.
:kaz: We pull in money, recruits, just to combat Israel… rubbing our noses in bloody battlefield dirt, all for revenge.

I can understand maybe missing by picking another gulf nation, but I hope that most of the other ones are just trolls. Stuff like this does not help with my doomerism.
I’m not sure… In 8th grade our social studies teacher was trying to get a feel for where everyone was in geography and picked on students to go up and point out various geographical locations on the giant map on the chalkboard.
He started with really simple ones like “Where is North America? Where is South America?” and barely got through that point because he picked a rich white kid on the basketball team to go point out where “Asia” is on the map and the kid pointed to everywhere BUT asia… North America, South America, Australia, Africa.
The kid was getting really mortified as the rest of the class was laughing harder and harder with each try.
I will never forget that as long as I live because after class I asked him if he was just messing around and he confided he honestly never looked at maps so he didn’t know, but also he didn’t care because he would never need to know that.
I remember my honors English class where the most popular and successful student/athlete learned about the existence of Arabs for the very first time.
but also he didn’t care because he would never need to know that.
I…this is so alien to me, I cannot understand this attitude. I see it everywhere, but it always baffles me. I don’t understand why so many people are so incurious. How can they know that they’ll “never need to know” something when they don’t know it or know how important that information could be?
It’s always in the last place you look
One time my workplace did an informal fun lil test of identifying every state in the US. More than one person was surprised Mexico was so close. Most people got around 10 states correct and left the rest blank.
Around ten people labeled states with the names of foreign countries, like I remember one person identified Hawaii as Japan, and one wrote “British” on Virginia. These were people with college degrees too. Americans are simply not great at geography.
Damn, I’m not even American and I feel like I could get at least 50% of the states labeled correctly
one wrote “British” on Virginia
a die hard Walter Raleigh stan.
Yikes
Eyeballing it, at least a third of these are misclicks. Virtually no one, even in America, believes that Iran is in the western hemisphere or in the ocean (not even on an island), and several more of the popular locations are similarly improbable.
Maps with new zealand but still new zealand isnt included
The one respondent who wants to nuke Godzilla againOzark Rednecks do be inhabiting rugged mountain terrain, they’re cooking with this one
Iran? Oh, you mean the seaboard off the coast of eastern Greenland? Fuck those guys
This explains why the USA sees Iran as a threat - it’s an internal one.
respect to “the Falklands are Iran” guy
I was just told by my most trusted source that Iran is 50 North Koreas, but this map is claiming that it’s not even 1!
Did they use PEMDAS or BEDMAS?
ive been saying for years that kunming is the true capital of iran
See that giant mosque in the middle of downtown? That’s the ayatollah’s white house.
I’m the Iran is a Japanese province guy
