Climate change

no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the rocky/smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

- I'm sorry. Im just sensitive to disinformation and apparently not sensitive enough to humor.
- Damn...I was looking forward to my future as a Burgundian
Florida not being underwater is the first clue this isn't a legit map lmao
- And what's the deal with Lake Superior, does it get filled in?
- Turbo Encabulator vibes from the LLM.
Thank you for explaining it. I was trying to find Sadam Hussain.
There’s Black Sea too. I swear it exists, I saw it!

Why is Florida still there?

That's how you know the map is fake.
- No joke, that was the first hint.
Wait are you serious? It's the Mediterranean Sea
- No, but I never miss a chance to punch down at Florida.
America took viagra.
- America needs to call a doctor, it's infected now.
Because the ocean will reach the middle of the continent trough the mountains North America has close to its West, not through the plains on the South-East.
Can't you read a map?
It's actually mirrored Norway
Like roaches, really hard to kill.
They tied the state to Trump and told him he gets to debate Biden. The hot air is keeping them afloat.
Because this is a shitpost and not at all based on reality unless giant chunks of the land get carved away in this specific shape, through mountains and deserts.

Florida survived 😣

America’s penis will be the last thing poking outta the water.
Little known fact, Florida floats
It eventually got so hot it got SWOLL and rose up out of the sea.

On the bright side, new Italy unlocked

Venice, North Dakota
2nd Italy would be really nice about right now, ya know?

I feel like only about ten percent of commenters even looked at the image.

And of those, only 5% know what the mediterranean sea looks like

I came into the comments ready to go off then I saw the fkn boot rofl

Maybe someone needs to start a science shitposts community

There it is, the long lost city of Atlanta!

"Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant the, uh...the airport."

jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao

And Florida! They will be the first to go.
- What can I do to expedite global warming? I want to do my part.

the remnants of nebraska

- 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌 🤌

It will be the perfect place to restore the Roman Empire.

Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn't on this one.

At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising

Then I saw Italy

Ah common mistake

This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away Any fucking time, any fucking day Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay

Some say the end is near
- Some say we’ll see Armageddon soon

Dear God, *hio still exists, truly the worst timeline.

I just found out that I am actually from Iowa ¯(ツ)/¯
- My condolences

Nothing of value was lost.

With this map, the Panama Canal will no longer be necessary.

North Panamarica

Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.

So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you're describing is the main issue with climate change.
It's not going to be "the day after tomorrow". It will be coastal cities... which are... like nearly ALL of them... losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say "what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it's sure to have severe damage?".
For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the "going" is going to be very, very ugly.
- On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.
I'm Finnish, but also live on the coast.
And my city, Turku, has these signs all over the place about where the sea level used to be, like just a few thousand years ago. And those signs are at the top of a hill, where there's an observatory.

This is so med.

Damn, somehow failed to get rid of Florida...

Brb, moving to northern Dakitaly

In closing, Carthage must be destroyed.

-Trump the Elder

I see nothing but improvements.

I know this is bullshit because I still see Florida

im just glad the rockies are underwater

Water is now flowing up. Truly chaotic times.

I'd love to have a great seaside property in Montana. I'll call up Aquaman Realtors ASAP!

I guess thats one way to turn the central states 'blue'

Who is we? Stop putting this at the feet of the poor and telling me it's my job to fix what billionaires are causing

We are the people of Earth. We should not tolerate land rape by corporations, governments, religions or billionaires.
Or anyone else, for that matter

The mental climate change of people not being able to read & assess data is truly abhorrent and will demolish the ability to understand maps vs memes.

Oh, US finally getting universal healthcare!

EDIT: Yes I know Arizona isn't shown to be directly affected by the map but let me have this.

Not sure what I’m going to do without the China Lake and El Mirage Yacht Clubs.

!cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee is leaking!

I’ll finally be able to swim to Vegas.

This would significantly improve Oklahoma

Pueblo, Colorado delenda est

We are going to lose some of our mountains to flooding

What scientists are these? Fully half of the U.S. is going to be underwater in the next thirty years?

Bull fucking shit.

It's not real, that's the Mediterranean sea.
- I knew something was up when literal mountains in the black hills were under but the great plains along the great rivers were totally fine.
It seems the memes about Americans not knowing geography are correct?
science_memes
- I got too heated lol, forgot to check what neighborhood I was in.
An optimistic scientist
Inb4 someone calls you anti-science for this

Arma 3's lore has a lot of explaining to do

There's no way Ohio isn't sunk.

I won't let it
The very southern parts are more hilly as they never sat under a glacier and all the other water drains into the caves. Water doesn't want to become ice and is scared those glaciers might come back if they get any ideas about northward expansion.
- Yeah that's where I live.

I call the Amalfi coast

I call Lake Como. Always wanted to live on Naboo with grandma.

It's nobody's business but the Turks!

They'd ... switch to metric?

This would be the dream

Nebraska's gonna get the boot

This has a distinct lack of saddam hussein

We’re going to get Italy? Awesome!

Hi i'm from Cagliari(Northern Colorado)

Nebraska will have the best pizza. It's-a great news!

Oh sweet I'll have some nice oceanfront property to inherit. Thanks global warming.

I'm gonna move to New Naples, sell unreasonably good coffee and very expensive tourist trinkets.

Wouldn’t be missed.

Tennessea

I know, I've been on the wrong side of climate change all along!

Florida man asserts his dominance.

All roads lead to Grand Island, Nebraska

Why isn't Florida submerged here? Sheer boomer spite?

Greybull, Wyoming? Nice!

Well that explains where Italy went

From the looks of it, I'll eventually be living on some waterfront property.

Georgia is about right

This looks fine, more beach front property

Its like the US will have its own mediterranean's. eh?

Mmm... Greek BBQ

Lul, climate change will not improve any continent!

Once again the Amish can continue what they are doing in PA

Man, Ohio is now in Turkiye. Not sure if I'm more excited about the mountains or dreading the time in the restrooms.

Mezze platters for all.

Who’s joining me in Corsicado?

Oh good, they finally annexed Canada and Mexico

I'm confused; is the joke here that if America gets submerged that we'd just simply colonize the rest of the world?

(cause too close to reality for comfort)

Just a funny imposition of the Mediterranean Sea over the US

Wow, I'm setting every thermostat I ever see to 62 then. This would be so rad.

So they gain a Mediterranean sea. Doesn't seem so bad to me.

Denile is not just a river in ~~Egypt~~ Mississippi

Armenia will have access to sea again. (why did I write two)

You fucking wish.

I shouldn’t have chuckled at this.

Gamma World

Didn't even get Ohio, fuck.

Why don't we have any lakes this big?

Are straight up shitposts allowed here?

Fake bullshit.

Climate change is real and serious, fake nonsense like this just serves to undermine real information about the ongoing disaster that is climate change.

Please look for the boot.
Naah man this seems totally legit what are you on about?
Source??1?

We are going to die. It is too late.
