This isn't real. This IS NOT REAL.

Is this where you remember Japan being on the map? Because I sure don't remember it being there.

It used to just off Long Island, but they moved it back in the 70's.

You're wrong, Sir. It was moved back in 1964, the maps weren't corrected until 1972 but it was moved long before then.

Kyushu wasn't moved until late 71.  Something to do with a really large radioactive dinosaur.

It's a well known result of all those Australian toilets swirling in the wrong direction.



Because of Newton's fourth law of motion, something had to counterbalance the Cornwallis effect.

Around the year 1904-1905 Japan kicked Russia in the balls, really hard.
The two countries were close geographical neighbors at that time.

Whatever you are smoking, OP... It has not yet fucked up my globe.

Considering that there is no one absolutely correct projection any land mass on Earth the madela effect cannot apply.

It depends on map types, we are used to seeing an enlarged Greenland and slightly shifted stuff.  To see accurately you need a globe.
You are used to one kind of map OP, look at another.
World is round not flat, to make it fit in a map we move stuff around a bit.
