Maps without New Zealand

[–] Atomic 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm not so sure I would trust any statistics from a map that's missing New Zealand.

hawaians are also mourning the loss

Yet Americans act like they're 90% of the world and no one and nothing outside the US matters.

I think those chances vary a lot based on where your parents live.

How can an island be split between two continents?

[–] Atomic 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Same way Russia can be split in two continents I suppose.

True, Europe doesn't actually exist, just like Oceania. It is all Asia.

It used to be all Africa until the Suez incident

Should really define it based on something more concrete like fault lines

Can't believe I used up all my luck for that

Ok, now make this but per land area.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

It would be nice if there were a year attached to this. Is this supposed to be based on the current day? Or was this map put together several years ago?

There should at least be a decade listed, as birth trends today aren’t going to be identical to trends from the recent past. For example, China only ended their “one child policy” in 2016. If this map were made before that, it might need an update by now.

I've already been born so my odds should be updated.

It’s not zero for Antarctica, just nearly zero. 11 people have been born in Antarctica. Mostly argentinians but also a couple chileans.

Okay and that would still be less than 0.00% which is the significant figures on the chart. They can't just put 0.01.because 11 out 8 billion people were born there.

New Zealand’s gone missing again, I’m assuming it’s lumped in with Australia.

No chance of being born in New Zealand I see

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

It's more proof it doesn't exist.

Remember everyone: 100.00% does not mean all, and 0.00% does not mean none, just like 50.00% does not mean exactly half. They all are accurate to 0.005% points.
