OP is on to something, possibly continental drift, bad sattelite imaging or a combination of both. It does however better explain how early people were able to migrate to Australia.

@Sukairain was trying to debunk your theory earlier by saying something to the effect of "if Australia was so close to Antarctica, why was it 96 degrees.." Have you ever seen how much closer and closer the southern tip of Argentina (South America) is to the northern most tip of Antarctica on newer maps? Whats crazy is almost all of Argentina save for a small strip on the southern Pacific side is ALL dry/desert climate. :mindblown: https://www.google.com/maps/@-58.2295846,-63.2050287,3110538m/data=!3m1!1e3

You mean to tell me some motherfukker snuck into every place in the world. Stole all the maps and either edited them and put them back. Or burned them shyts :mjlol:

No.

A few key strokes to the underlying code of our Matrix reality was edited.

This experience has shown with that without a doubt we live in a computer simulation. Objective reality does not exist. And whoever the designer is, he's either intentionally fukking with us right now with all these crazy changes that are happening or his simulation is about to crash cause the glitches are becoming noticeable.

not understand that when you take something circular/spherical and lay it fat that certain points will appear further apart
This is it here. Thats why that black and white map homie posted looks all fukked up

Yea and that shyt looks innacurate as fukk.. Look how small they got Africa :mjlol:

God some of you are fukkin morons. That the Mercator projection. We all know its inaccurate when it comes to size. Objects near the poles look bigger than they really are. And objects near the equator look smaller than they really are. Its the difficulty of trying to accurately represent a spherical object (Earth) on a flat surface (a map).

For all the shyt you guys keep saying about me not understanding maps, you nikkas seem to be the ones with no idea of how maps work.

because that version of the Mercator projection is the one I'm familiar with. The one that has South America more or less positioned south of North America rather than southeast which is the position of South America in this reality. And of course position of Australia being thousands of miles south of Papau New Guinea and Indonesia rather than being right below them.

That's the first thing you've said in this thread that is true. The Indo-Australian tectonic plate shifts northwards at a rate of about 5cm or 2 inches per year. Another consequence of this is that Mount Everest and the Himalayas as well as the Hindu Kush mountains, grow higher slowly.

But to get the thousands of miles you are talking about, at a rate of 2 inches per year it would take tens of millions of years for the plates to drift that distance. Since Australia was discovered by Europeans, its position today would be around 22 yards further north than it was in 1600.

Maybe in this reality.

The Australia I remember from the reality I come from is located thousands of miles south of its present position.

It was located where this version of the Mercator projection shows it being located.

The part of Argentina closest to Antarctica is called Patagonia, and it's very cold. They got glaciers and permanent snowfields.

By comparison rarely snows in Tasmania, which is Australia's southern most state.

If Australia was as far south as OP claims the weather would be like Canada. Instead we routinely get 100+ degree days in summer and it almost never snows. In Sydney where i live it hasn't snowed in over 150 years.

Look breh. I will admit when I can't explain something. I literally have no answer to this. Other than to say in the reality I remember Australia did have the same climate it has now. It was hot. Mostly desert in the interior with some good land on the edges. I have no idea what moving Australia thousands of miles south would do with the climate.

All I know is everything in my being tells me this is the way the world I remember looked.

How you gonna remember a world based off a map this innacurate??
