As a Linux user, there's only one right answer. Cold be damned.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 hours ago

Yes I'll have a ticket to Linux Land please.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Thank you for your careful drawing putting me in narcotrafico

People gonna see this and move to Antarctica, only to find out you can't pet the penguins. We're here just to suffer.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago

You can absolutely pet the penguins. Just, don't. As far as king and emperor penguins go, anyway, the adult ones have no land predators so they're pretty much completely unfussed about people approaching them.

Another thing, though. People see an African penguin or an Adelie or similar at a zoo and they think all penguins are little cuddly football sized waddlers. I imagine most people would be completely unprepared for the sheer scale of an adult emperor penguin:

And if you mess with the penguins, you're messing with me.

MEGA PENGUIN

[-] Evil_Shrubbery 9 points 18 hours ago

Penguins are real?
I thought that was just the Linux continent.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago

Actually, Linux isn't real, it's just a fictional part of the penguin lore

[-] Evil_Shrubbery 1 points 7 hours ago

Nooo!!!

My Hannah Montana penguin is just a product of by imagination!!

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago

You probably shouldn't, but you definitely can. Law enforcement is pretty sparse. As long as you don't bring witnesses or record your crime, you can pet penguins at will. Again, you shouldn't, because it's not good for the penguins.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

Hopefully the Venn diagram of people who want to pet penguins and people who care that it hurts the penguins is a circle.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 2 points 15 hours ago

Add a circle for people who cant (or wont) atop that too, just to be sure.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago

I hope so, too, and there's a good chance of it. It's not very common to accidentally wander into Antarctica. I believe it's population has the highest percentage of PhDs of any continent, most of them in science. While I realize that doesn't guarantee beneficence, I feel like it goes a long way.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

You shouldn't, but you can

Don't tell the wealthy.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Oh, for sure. Do tell the wealthy they can pet the emperor penguins as long as they are completely alone with them.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

Oh yeah the hellish dictatorship that is SK, Japan, and Taiwan. So scary.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 17 points 19 hours ago

Is New Zealand part of the mutilations and genocide? I think it's been a while since we've done that at scale.

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 7 points 17 hours ago

Look mate you can be in hell with us if you really want

[-] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 16 hours ago

I mean the Māori wars may be over a century old but you could count that towards both mutilations and genocide

You guys also were the main set for multiple scenes in LOTR which has depictions of mutilations.

Personally I feel like creating a new circle for Aotearoa and labelling it “Prehistoric” would be fitting since many living things on the islands are species that died out everywhere else after the continents split.

A more humorous label to fit with the others could be “Weird birds” since the avian diversity on the islands includes the Kakapo, the Kiwi, and the Kea parrot, all of which are birds that show up in memes

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 16 hours ago

That's why I had the qualifier of "recently" haha, we are a colony after all.

That's pretty fitting. People can decide if it applies to our dinosaurs, our scenery, our fauna, our flora, or our government.

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I feel like it's objectively more correct to either include Aotearoa under "penguins" (given that a couple species of penguin basically only exist on the islands), or to include Antarctica under "weird birds",

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 19 hours ago

Shouldnt pedophiles include Florida???

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago

I, too, have my doubts about the validity of this map. As a narcotrafficking penguin, I feel like these borders should be more like gradients.

[-] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 16 hours ago

Hey give OP a break, it’s hard to draw accurate lines on a phone

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Can Canada and Greenland not belong to Pedofhiles(sp)?

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 15 hours ago

what would you have instead?

that time the canadian parliament celebrated a nazi

?

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 2 points 15 hours ago

penguins

and secret ufo bases

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 19 hours ago

Ok but isn't New Zealand heaven?

[-] gustofwind@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

How much does that depend on being white and having money?

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 1 points 9 hours ago

Pretty much the same as everywhere else unfortunately.

We might be slightly better about it now, but the legacy remains.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 4 points 17 hours ago

How much does that depend on ~~being white and~~ having money?

Most of it, everywhere, all the time.

[-] gustofwind@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

yeah but if you’re Māori is it even worse?

[-] how_we_burned@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago

yeah but if you’re Māori is it even worse?

In NZ if you ain't Maori it's worse.

I've never meet a single NZ, irrespective of their ability to absorb or reflect UV, that didn't claim a percentage of Maori ancestry.

Although 50-60 plus years ago shit was bad.

Now everyone is equally discriminated against in NZ if you don't have money

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 points 17 hours ago

Being white is better in most places.

[-] gustofwind@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

I guess until it’s not we shouldn’t cross that out

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

It's a slice of Heaven.
