Try reading, it's not that difficult. My last comment was in jest.

I’m pretty sure it’s JG Wentworth

Look in the bottom left, there's a compass.

It literally spells out GORE

I’m just being silly :P

What does the G E R O stand for in the compass rose? Gorth, East, Routh, Oest? I have 15 years of naval experience, I updated countless nautical charts, but I've never seen these letters.

Also, why are people saying it's a certain US state, while as a European I can clearly see it's not?

Map is made by "W. L. Gore & Associates", so compass says G O R E

Checks out. Thanks

I would have chosen a closwise reading direction instead of counter clockwise. But that's me.

is this italy?

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Interstate 171 is a big one.

The blue/green sides with brown/green middle was certainly a choice of colours, not surprised about all the map jokes.

The map resemblance is very clearly intentional. Theres a 'compass' with the publishers name and road signs all over the blood vessels

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes I see it now haha.

What's with the subject's penis? 😮

Why do I feel like I am playing The Amazon Trail?

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

They have a donk and a weird shaped penis.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Take this over to Church of Thighentology.

Why the bidirectional veins?!

As long as it's consensual it's no business of mine.
