It took me way to long to realise its Britain. My first thought was, that it would be the US and then got confused because this wasn't the US.

It says garbage patch, not dumpster fire

There's an even larger one between the atlantic and pacific ocean, just north of the gulf of mexico.

I mean, have you been to Birmingham?

[–] scratchee@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago

I once had to stay in Birmingham after a cancelled train. On leaving the station I was accosted by a drunk demanding cigarettes, who started swearing at me after I admitted I didn’t smoke. That’s my only experience of Birmingham, I have to assume it’s typical.

I will always have a soft spot for Birmingham for giving us Black Sabbath. Luckily, I have never been there though, so the reality will not ruin it for me.

My brain worked so hard to make this look like America, even though now I know it isn't I'm pretty sure its still the USA

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's North America from an upside down perspective.

What's Cornwall? Long Island?

Hey now, we just exonerated ourselves by being nice to Zelensky. For today and today only, you have to respect us!!

Why are you being so cruel about Ireland?

[–] IrritableOcelot 3 points 2 days ago

Thats Britain lol, Ireland is on the left edge of the frame.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I had a good, deep, cathartic laugh at this I didn't realize I was in need of. UK politics has been an interesting but unfun mess for a long while.

i thought this was making fun of ireland for a bit

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

As someone who lives slightly north of the island in the middle of the south coast of this particular garbage patch; yes.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kinda unrelated but Garbology is a pretty great album imo.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 8 points 2 days ago

That's because all Aesop Rock albums are great.

Maybe this is the remnant of the last technological civilization that collapsed and disappeared, leaving behind a super massive floating wastepile in the Atlantic Ocean and eventually settled into where it is today. Along with all the survivors that have long since forgotten where they came from.

The lost continent had emerged! It's happening!

Trash Atlantis.
