24 Interesting Maps That Will Change How You See The World (August 27, 2024)

Did anyone else use a massive atlas for geography class back in the day?  Somehow, I found myself flipping through those pages during the more tedious classes, getting lost in the endless maps and marveling at how vast and varied our world is. It was like my own little escape, a window to places I could only dream of visiting.

Now, the maps you’re about to see might not transport you to faraway lands, but they will definitely make you see the world a little differently—probably with a chuckle or two. I came across these gems in a hilarious Twitter thread by James Lucas, and I just knew I had to share them. These maps aren’t your typical classroom fare; they’re quirky, unexpected, and downright funny. So, if you’re ready to see the world from a whole new perspective, keep scrolling.
