A different kind of shitty, yea. Not mere incompetence but sheer malice.

On the bright side, it appears that the Russians have given up on Transnistria....

Surprised there haven't been any comments on the Redditor's name yet

Here’s a map from a book made to teach children cursive writing:

Noooooo, that terrible Kamchatka is back!

 

[qazse]

Noooooo, that terrible Kamchatka is back!

Also, Denmark is apparently an island and Anatolia has been banished to the backrooms.

And once again North America uses a different projection than the rest of the map.
I wonder where this bad map which keeps on turning up in different situations is originally from.

And within a few years they'll need to create maps without those new regions.

Whoever created the base map needs to be retrained.

Dunno if that's a good idea. Some people like whips

The classic BuildTheEarth projection (itself a modification of the Dymaxion projection)

On a wall in an Italian restaurant (seen at reddit). They obviously got Italy properly made from some rolled metal.

Then someone else did the rest of Europe (more or less, with Scandinavia being especially less) with some dark plaster or such.

Speaking of falling/slipping down parts the following map is actually quite good and a nice example how educational maps for children should be:

Details are a bit low but given that the target audience is most likely pre-school I can forgive that. Heck, with that puzzle one could even simulate plate tectonics (at least to some degree), which makes it doubly educational!

However, did you know that Hawaii is about as large as Madagascar? And Easter Island is the size of Ireland?

Take a better map and get it laser cut.

Nothing wrong with the Peters projection (it just looks a bit unwieldy) but the one on the left...

Other than the fact that it’s the Peters projection but sadly there’s no fixing that
