I came into the comments ready to go off then I saw the fkn boot rofl
Maybe someone needs to start a science shitposts community
At first I was confused because Tennessee is a lot of mountains, so them getting covered with water was surprising
Then I saw Italy
Ah common mistake
no, this is just a copy pasta of the Mediterranean Sea onto central US. it ignores the rocky/smoky/blue Ridge mountains and all elevations minus lucky guessing the central plains.

I’m sorry. Im just sensitive to disinformation and apparently not sensitive enough to humor.
Happens to the best of us.
Tho at the some time I bet some real estate people would see this and start buying up “future beach front properties”.
Helping the economy!!1
Damn…I was looking forward to my future as a Burgundian
Florida not being underwater is the first clue this isn’t a legit map lmao
And what’s the deal with Lake Superior, does it get filled in?
As it should be?
Not so superior now, huh?
Also Louisiana lol
Actually, as tectonic uplift interacts with mantle plume activity, crustal thinning could occur, creating a series of grabens and faulted basins. These basins would rapidly flood as water levels rise, forming an inland sea. The unique east-west orientation of the rift system would shape this new body of water in a manner resembling the Mediterranean. Furthermore, increased precipitation, a byproduct of global climate shifts, could introduce more freshwater inflows from the Mississippi River and other tributaries, enhancing the formation of coastal ecosystems similar to those around the Mediterranean. Over millennia, the regional limestone bedrock would undergo karstification due to the influx of acidic rain, contributing to the rugged, cliffed coastlines characteristic of Mediterranean geology. Damn ChatGPT is good at shitposting…
Turbo Encabulator vibes from the LLM.
I’m flattered by even being associated with this comparison.
Thank you for explaining it. I was trying to find Sadam Hussain.
There’s Black Sea too. I swear it exists, I saw it!

There it is, the long lost city of Atlanta!
“Turner Field, the Coca-Cola bottling plant the, uh…the airport.”
On the bright side, new Italy unlocked
Venice, North Dakota
2nd Italy would be really nice about right now, ya know?
I feel like only about ten percent of commenters even looked at the image.
And of those, only 5% know what the mediterranean sea looks like
Damn, somehow failed to get rid of Florida…
Why is Florida still there?
That’s how you know the map is fake.
No joke, that was the first hint.
Wait are you serious? It’s the Mediterranean Sea
No, but I never miss a chance to punch down at Florida.
Every chance we can.
America took viagra.
America needs to call a doctor, it’s infected now.
It’s actually mirrored Norway
Because the ocean will reach the middle of the continent trough the mountains North America has close to its West, not through the plains on the South-East.
Can’t you read a map?
Like roaches, really hard to kill.
They tied the state to Trump and told him he gets to debate Biden. The hot air is keeping them afloat.
Because this is a shitpost and not at all based on reality unless giant chunks of the land get carved away in this specific shape, through mountains and deserts.
jesus christ i thought this was real until i noticed fucking louisiana is completely unaffected lmao
And Florida! They will be the first to go.
What can I do to expedite global warming? I want to do my part.
In closing, Carthage must be destroyed.
-Trump the Elder
Florida survived 😣
America’s penis will be the last thing poking outta the water.
Little known fact, Florida floats
It eventually got so hot it got SWOLL and rose up out of the sea.
Was wondering how the hell Florida was above ground when I saw the boot shape. Surprising that Saddam Hussein isn’t on this one.
This would make traveling to Italy so much more convinient.
Dear God, *hio still exists, truly the worst timeline.
I just found out that I am actually from Iowa ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My condolences
Meanwhile in Scotland. Even with a worst case scenario we loose our coastal cities but not much else and the country looks nearly indistinguishable from orbit. Unfortunatley more or less all our cities are costal.
So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you’re describing is the main issue with climate change.
It’s not going to be “the day after tomorrow”. It will be coastal cities… which are… like nearly ALL of them… losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say “what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it’s sure to have severe damage?”.
For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the “going” is going to be very, very ugly.
On the bright side a lot of the most valuble beach front tower blocks are just huge empty investment vehicles so the rich are going to take one for the team on this one.
They already own a second or third house in a mountain state so they can ski in the winter. They’re already pre-migrated.
The rich never pay for anything. I guarantee-fucking-tee they will get a socialized payout.
Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone’s retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That’s before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.
It’s not going to be pretty.
I’m Finnish, but also live on the coast.
And my city, Turku, has these signs all over the place about where the sea level used to be, like just a few thousand years ago. And those signs are at the top of a hill, where there’s an observatory.
