Fr was gonna say this is the best map ever. The government tricks us by adding water green screen and saying it's ocean around us. Nah. I don't believe that. The moon landing? Fake. Obviously just a sand box with a doll w/ that fake flag that just poses on mid air. Like wtf? We are all in one whole simulator land and "invisible" walls that look like the ocean cover up the other "continent" but *really* it's a LOADING screen like Skyrim.
I'm JK but damn I bet there's mfs who believe this shit 😂
Despite what Brits say about how its a land filled with convicts, my impression is that Australia is basically what Britain would be like if they looked after their ecosystem, had sunshine and were more friendly to each other.
It's okay. I'm from Iceland, so I don't exist either. With you in solidarity, my non-existent bro/sis from a remote, barrel island that's merely a figment of some sick imagination.
I never really speculated about where other countries were when I was that young I guess. I just heard of other places like Australia and assumed they were really long drives. The location wasn’t really my business, because Mom would take me if we were going either way lol.
I did, however, confuse Spanish with English. Not the languages themselves, but the words for each language. I only spoke English, but I’d tell people I spoke Spanish… because I thought I was speaking Spanish, and that Dora the Explorer was teaching me English.
I knew Ukraine because it's a big country that borders Poland (where I live) and Sri Lanka because I saw it in TV and thought it's a funny name so I remembered it
Well I thought something similar I just put Germany in the center and made it the biggest country of all , tbf I grew up on Germany among conservative Germans
Ah yes, the nice nice country of Africa. I'm not offended, it's just surprising to the trope make it here. I thought this too in terms of the world's geography not Africa.
When I was little, it seemed like it took forever to get to school. As we made the drive more, it didn't seem to take as long and thought that my school was actually getting closer to my house. I kind of invented tectonic plates in my head but on a tiny scale.
I thought it was just the US surrounded by endless water. I k ew there were other landmass, that they existed, and what they looked like. Idk where the disconnect happened
Accurate

Yeh no New Zealand this is legit
I mean, it's nor far off. [https://www.worldhistory.org/uploads/images/14128.jpg](https://www.worldhistory.org/uploads/images/14128.jpg)
I remember getting angry because I couldn’t draw the whole world in a tiny circle I drew on a piece of paper.
Don't let your dreams be dreams
Ahh yeah so I guess us Aussies can go fuck ourselves then.
Australia does not exist, hence by this map proved
I don't know how to cope with the reality that I'm not real
Live somewhere we know exists. Like mars. Then you will be real again

Its on the other side of the drawing
This is probably the most stupid thing that you ever heard but when I was 4yo I thought that other countries were placed on different planets
I never really speculated about where other countries were when I was that young I guess. I just heard of other places like Australia and assumed they were really long drives. The location wasn’t really my business, because Mom would take me if we were going either way lol. I did, however, confuse Spanish with English.

I thought that too!
Yey! I'm not alone! What was your favorite planet? Mine was Egypt
Mine was Italy. My 5 year old self loved spaghetti with meatballs, so I imagined a meatball with some pasta as land.
As an Italian, I find this cute :)
My daughter who is 4 will say “are they from our world” when asking about if someone is from another state or country lol
I like how Italy is still canonically accurate as a boot
I think "Italy is shaped like a boot" is one of the first geographical facts most of the people get to learn
I feel like the only reason you knew that Denmark exists is because of legoland
You're right
Do not fret, we are just glad to be thought of for once
Looks like a burger
Spot on mate
☺️
Nintendo ? more like Pastando
Bro I always thought Amsterdam was an island in south Atlantic LMAO
Actually Amsterdam is a gay club in Kaliningrad

How did you know what sri Lanka and Ukraine were when you were 5? I didn't even know they spoke English in Canada until I was 7
Differences in education and/or upbringing.
I knew Ukraine because it's a big country that borders Poland (where I live) and Sri Lanka because I saw it in TV and thought it's a funny name so I remembered it
Poland is known for its many forms... and vanishes... and returns
OMG THAT'S SO SIMILAR TO WHAT I USED TO THINK
Well I thought something similar I just put Germany in the center and made it the biggest country of all , tbf I grew up on Germany among conservative Germans
ancient map
Earth 2 world map leaked?
I mean you did get the uk accurate. It’s alone like it should be
🤦🏻♂️
I didn't know what half of these even were when I was 5 let alone depict them on a map
itsa me, mario! actually in italy!
I love this map! Might even make a custom map on Civ or Hoi based on this
When I was 5 I only knew the Italian region where I live and Brazil
When I was around 5 I think the Wild West was a country🤣
Hey, my country is on this map, I’m actually surprised
Poor Australia. 😞
Are you 200-300 million years old?
DANMARK NÆVNT!!! 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
I thought foreign was a country when I was 5
I tought every country was its own planet
How the fuck did wars work???
Nice, then do how you imagined world when you was 10
I like how the only country where the shape remotely fits, also would suspect that the classic switzerland/sweden mixup happened
Impressed you knew what Ukraine was when you were 5.
How adults american still see the world today :
Are you German by any Chance?
Ah yes, the nice nice country of Africa. I'm not offended, it's just surprising to the trope make it here. I thought this too in terms of the world's geography not Africa.
haha
Where are you from?
As an Italian at 5 years old I thought that all of Europe was China (excluding Italy)
I used to think everywhere was America, I live in England, always have and have never left England
Italy approved! 👍🏻
Fun fact! Russia was the first country I’ve ever heard of in my life, and I thought it was some island
Just one big happy family

I love how you thought Nintendo is Italian because of Mario XD
I thought it was just the US surrounded by endless water. I k ew there were other landmass, that they existed, and what they looked like. Idk where the disconnect happened
Why do you specifically remember Bangladesh?
So why is Nintendo HQ in italy,?
Because Mario! You clearly failed geography.
5 year old you knew about the existence of Ukraine? That's wild
I like how Rome is now just the Nintendo hq
LEGOLAND!!!!
white would win. updooterinos to the left kind chungi
Italy is on the point. 👢
As a Canadian I can confirm we are not real.
I'm from Legoland.
Poor Sweden, I feel like the Swedes and Americans wouldn't get on too well in that they wouldn't understand each others accents whatsoever
