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.
Happens to the best of us.
Tho at the some time I bet some real estate people would see this and start buying up "future beach front properties".

Florida not being underwater is the first clue this isn't a legit map lmao
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
I feel like only about ten percent of commenters even looked at the image.
I came into the comments ready to go off then I saw the fkn boot rofl
jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao
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
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
Nothing of value was lost.
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.
This is so med.
Brb, moving to northern Dakitaly
Damn, somehow failed to get rid of Florida...
I know this is bullshit because I still see Florida
In closing, Carthage must be destroyed.

I see nothing but improvements.
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'
Oh, US finally getting universal healthcare!
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
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.
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
