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)

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.

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.

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)
