I believe this map is made essentially as an amalgamation of all the years in this gif. It might make more sense to you if you observe it like that.
Ascription of historical and collective guilt, and how to do it, if at all, is a separate topic, but the underlining data is correct.

That's a good question, but no. It was just a bit of word play.
Antineutrinos are not WIMPs. WIMPs are weakly interacting massive particles. Antineutrinos are anything but massive, they're almost massless, so massless that they were, for the longest time, thought to be massless. They can be a product of dark matter, as speculated, but they aren't it tho.

And here's a map of the recent/currently ongoing Niger coup:
And the ratio of the forces of the Islamist fighters and the ECOWAS coalition forces (currently committed: Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, and Benin):

Context:
- light blue: center-right
- red: center-left
- yellow: liberal
- black: far-right
- green: green/regionalist
- dark blue: conservative
- dark red: left
- gray: not in any group
- white: not in parliament currently
Keep in mind these are pretty much just copy pasted national level polls, as polls conducted specifically for the EU elections have not yet been conducted. EU election results can sometimes vary quite a bit from national elections.

What I find interesting about this is that this transition also happened in highly unrelated languages such as Hungarian, Greek and Swedish, not only in related Portuguese and French.
- In Hungarian, /ʎ/ in most dialects turned into /j/, but the spelling ⟨ly⟩ was preserved, hence lyuk [juk].
- In Swedish, /lj/ turned into /j/ in word-initial positions, but the spelling ⟨lj⟩ was preserved, hence ljus [ˈjʉːs].
- In Cypriot Greek, /lj/ is often pronounced as [ʝː], especially by younger speakers. In Standard Modern Greek, it always surfaces as [ʎ].
I guess people find it hard to pronounce /ʎ/ but are too inert to change the spelling.

The radius of the currently observable universe is about 50 billion light-years and this map depicts a sphere with a radius of about 1 billion light-years, so if my calculamalations are correct, following through with sphere volume V being V=4/3πr³ this map depicts about 0.001 percent of the observable universe.
Hi folks! There hasn't been any misbehavior in this community, nor to be frank do I expect any, but it's good to have redundancy, cover **more time zones**, etc... in case of spambots and the like. I'm looking to add a couple more mods! I don't have many metrics by which to choose fellow mods (such as the age of the account) so **all you need to apply and get picked is to be active in this community** (which means contribute posts and/or comments... **the more quality contributions you've made the more likely you're to get picked**). I'm **CET**, btw. If you want to guard this community and help it stay a cozy place, apply here in the comments to become a mod. Feel free to add any additional reason why you think you should be picked! Are you a geographer? ~~Are you power hungry?~~ Are you ~~glued to your computer~~ an internet enthusiast? Apply now! Applications will be open for a while until I pick a couple of peeps.

At least the vegetation seems to have bounced back in the last 10 years.

You're right, it's very far north, next to the border with Sweden.

The borders between the areas in Europe are indeed a bit weird. Other continents seem mostly fine tho.

TIL there are still some (tiny) Zoroastrian majority pockets in Iran, or anywhere for that matter.

I should've specified the map has data only for countries in the EU. This is the price you pay for Brexit, alas.
It would be interesting to see the results for some Balkan countries too.

Btw, here's the Dymaxion map projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation.
And here's the Peirce quincuncial map projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation.
And here's the classic Robinson map projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation.
And here's the Waterman butterfly map projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation.
And here's the, oh horror, Mercator map projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation.
Dymaxion map projection does a pretty good job with this info.

Here's a subregional HDI (income per capita+education+life expectancy) map.
The Mediterranean plus the south of Africa, as well as the Gulf of Guinea stand out the most.

Kind of, yes. Surprisingly not that much. But enough to divert all the local water northward apparently.
What's interesting is that all the other surrounding water flows southward. Burkina Faso even used to be called Upper Volta, because of the largest river there.

They’re not saving the environment, they’re running a monoculture tree farm
Nope.

Instead of monocultures, we grow over 500 different native species where they are needed most. Always shoulder-to-shoulder with local communities.

It's a bug related to the influx of new users and the hosting changes, it will get fixed.
Okay, not coconuts, but kilograms per capita, but one coconut is about 1.4 kg. Close enough

The bike's body bends during use and it will scratch itself on the ring teeth and the chain. Sometimes older bikes have a bigger number of teeth on the middle chainring like this (s:m:l ring teeth ratio is about 32/48/52 teeth). [numbered bike anatomy graph](https://i.ibb.co/7ynxRxQ/bicycle-anatomy-v1-0a.jpg) chainring = 31; bottom bracket spindle = 26; bottom bracket shell = the hole where 27 is marked to go in [~source~](https://old.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/comments/1372lcg/crankset_very_close_to_bike_frame/)
