I would say google maps or something similar. It can only be based on locations of devices and pictures being published online.

eg. I am on the Eiffel Tower with a partner. Take a selfie, publish on Facebook etc.

These are the threads that AH should have.

I love how an infographic (if that's the word) informs at a glance.

Fascinating stuff here

Pornhub Released a Detailed Map of the World's Porn Interests

Italy and Milf porn.
Interesting given the matriarchal aspect to Italian culture.

I am surprised by the ebony porn in Africa if I am being honest.

The Italians are mad into their mama mia's in fariness.

I would like to see a more detailed breakdown.

" Pegging and fisting viewership per capita" etc.

I must send the good people at triplextube an email to see if they even keep statistics.

Somewhat map related, great book that was recommended by a few people in the "what are you reading" thread.

The location reminds me of the Sahara Sea proposals, a collections of climate engineering projects (mostly a century+ old) to flood basins in the Sahara using seawater from the Med or the Atlantic. Here's one of them:

Madness. If you use salt water, you poison the water in the depression.

That said, if you divert Nile water, you potentially mess up the delta and the the area just outside it and affect the circulation of the Med.

A buddy of mine had a birthmark in the shape of Africa on her inner thigh.
Lots of fellas found it interesting apparently.

You do. I think the idea is that you significantly improve the rainfall patterns in the area though. Really careful climate modelling would be critical not to **** things up, mind. I don't know if we're there yet. If those countries get desperate for water, they might start thinking hard about it. It's not like there's much water there to poison, and the sahara isn't shrinking on any human timescale.

That said, if you divert Nile water, you potentially mess up the delta and the the area just outside it and affect the circulation of the Med.

No way the countries that lie on the Nile would let that happen. They depend on it too much.

The Irish one is woefully incomplete.

I live in a town with a Distillery Lane where I can even name the brand (Chamberlains) that was made there; not on it.

Mal-Adjusted · 17-12-2019 1:19am

I often find myself arsing around on Google maps. some pretty intiresting stuff you can find...

This is Baarle-Nassau, a town mostly in the Netherlands but for some historical quirke many segments are part of Belgium and if your house straddled one of the many borders (which many do) they decided that whichever country your front door was in was your nation of residence.

There is a disputed border between Egypt and Sudan. Egypt believes their border forms a straight line to the see while Sudan recognizes the border as traveling south and then tapering up at an angle. the intiresting bit is this means that there is a segment of unclaimed land which neither country recognizes as theirs. Probably one of the few unclaimed bits of land in the world?

We now know the surface of Mars in much greater detail than we do of the ocean floors on our own Earth.

Yay!! Great to see this thread I started back in its rightful place.

Tongue-in-cheek map of Norn Iron. Rather accurate...

Maybe, but hardly bigger than the rest of the USA and Russia combined! Not helped by the Mercator projection favoured by Google etc., which distorts area the further from the equator.

I agreed that the OP's map was incorrect, all those countries being able to fit into Alaska is incorrect , not that they COULD all fit.
