👀 A different perspective

I've written about maps and cartography on Just One Thing previously. Like here. And we have a few other map-related Things floating about.
You read Just One Thing. So I know you are not someone who thinks that maps are just dry, dusty relics pointing you from A to B. Still, prepare to have your world amusingly upended by Strange Maps from Big Think.
This isn't your typical atlas! Imagine a cartographic wonderland where countries are shaped like animals, oceans brim with mythical creatures, and states are drawn as wine bottles. Here, maps aren't just about geography; they're about imagination, history, and a pinch of delightful absurdity.
From the United States redrawn as a theme park to a map detailing the most popular breakfasts in Europe, Strange Maps takes you on a whimsical journey around a world that's equal parts informative and hilariously surreal. Buckle up for a wild ride through the most quirky and curious maps you never knew you needed!
Baaa.
