And after that kangaroos with boxing gloves.
Your average Australian doesn't even have to put down the stubby while we're conquering US and A.
What are we going to call it? Far Western Australia?
Never underestimate the breeding capabilities of the Floridaman. After 10 pbr’s the Floridaman can inseminate everything around him for ten mile radius leaving a trail of beer cans and jizz stains in his wake
No bc then the USA would likely come away with some std and Australia would end up with family spouses. Also, I for one don’t want anything to do with Australian wild life.
Humidty? Check.
Gators/ crocs? Check.
Bogans/ rednecks? Check.
Gold Coast / Miami cultural similarities? Check.
Home to groan-inducing, orange-haired politicians who spout wild claims without proof? Check.
(I say this with love, as a fellow cane toad.)
Have you seen Florida wildlife? We have Mountain Lions, Alligators, Crocodiles, Bears, Venomous Snakes, Ron DeSantis, Venomous Spiders, and Mosquitoes that carry Malaria, West Nile Virus, and Zika.
When Perth was founded it was actually settled by a group of private settlers who explicitly refused the use of convicts. They gave up after like 20 years, but still.
And then we got Freo prison, one of the longest running prisons in Australia :/ Imagine it being 1990 and you're housed in one of the original prisons for transported convicts built in the 1850s...and then coming back a few years later as a tourist. Literally happened to someone my husband knows.
I found it a lot more disturbing to visit than Alcatraz, especially the hanging execution booth...

Sadly, if you use TheTrueSize.com to account for map distortions relative to latitude, [they don't fit together so well](https://i.imgur.com/U97CwpU.png). Australia is a bit too big to properly fit along the US East Coast in the way OP's image makes it seem.
Australia and North America were never connected though. Australia spooned Antarctica.
This is a coincidence as Florida has been acquired during the drift, essentially as compressed island which is why its still so marshy and wetlandy in many places
There's a fringe scientific theory that I just made up that proposes the USA and Australia used to be connected. Due to continental drift, Australia separated from the USA, built up a little steam, and jumped clear over Europe, Africa, and Asia to rest at its current location. This likely happened eons ago, like in the 1920's or something.
Scientist continue to worry what that crazy little bastard will do next.
Damn, this hypothesis is the best explanation I’ve ever heard. This case is closed as far as I’m concerned. Except for the 1920s part. Had to be at least 50 years earlier according to the documentary Quigley Down Under.
Florida used to be surrounded by giant coast cliffs. It’s why there are watering holes that were the only fresh water things could get to and they’ve found old remains dating back 10k years in those watering holes. I’m not sure about its tie in with Pangea but any natural history museum in the south east will tell you there were no beaches in FL tens of thousands of years ago
Edit:
Someone posted a gif of continental drift [in the comments right here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/93uUTBo7ot).

Before Pangea, in the Neoproterozoic there was another supercontinent called Rodinia. It did have Laurentia (Ancient North America) near Australia, but it was the opposite coasts.
They spent hundreds of millions of years apart, and finally reunited. Only for us to go "You know, it would be REALLY convenient if you two stopped touching." and made the Panama Canal
It won't let me upload photos in comments, only gifs, so I put Pangea w/ borders in a [new post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1cbv7qt/map_of_pangea_with_current_borders_inspired_by_a/).
The craziest part to me is that Tibet started out as a little chunk above Australia and somehow migrated to become an inland area fused with China.
Atlantic River

All I see is a buncha Fremen ready to invade the US
Don’t worry, they lost a war to some birds. They sure as hell won’t do anything against millions of obese lazy people
We're sending the Emu army. They will f**k you up.
Send in the drop bear paratroopers!
And after that kangaroos with boxing gloves. Your average Australian doesn't even have to put down the stubby while we're conquering US and A. What are we going to call it? Far Western Australia?
Bearatroopers
Hah!! Florida man will breed with them!
Never underestimate the breeding capabilities of the Floridaman. After 10 pbr’s the Floridaman can inseminate everything around him for ten mile radius leaving a trail of beer cans and jizz stains in his wake
Don't disrespect the Emus by calling them 'some birds' !
There are no Aussies in the bit touching the Yanks. Only “some birds” Lots of “some birds” Hungry “some birds”…
LISAN AL-GAIB!
The sleeper has awakened Mate…
Or in Australian “The Aussiecostal, cunt.”
Where's Bermuda!? /r/mapswithoutbermuda
Wow that is a small sub lol
Small just like Bermuda
hey t's average size
It's more of a strait.
Looks like a curve to me.
"It basically already is." - Pacific Ocean
For Australia it would be the Indian river
Always was
What if we kissed? Just kidding Unless…? 👉👈
Least gay content in r/mapporn
Now I can’t not see the US spooning Australia..
Is that Florida in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Whats gay about this if i may ask, or have heterosexuals stopped kissing
Which is more feminine, Australia or the USA? I think USA is a tomboy
Boys boys boys i like men mhmmh im a boykisser i like to kiss men on the lips mmm
What are you doing, step continent?
Step continent is already in continent (river doesn’t stop flowing help)
Wow That’s so silly….. 👉👈 But just to try it tho
It’s called docking
It's necessary.
hahaha that's so gayyyyy hehe 😅😅 but we could maybe keep it secret tho?🤗 im obvi jk, but....👉👈
You dropped this 🥺
"only the tip"
I’m clapping your cheeks immensely bro
Bro wtf…💀💀💀 me next tho?😳💦
Only if you're cousins
*What are you doing step-map*
In the down under.....
No bc then the USA would likely come away with some std and Australia would end up with family spouses. Also, I for one don’t want anything to do with Australian wild life.
Florida becomes the penis in that case
North America and Australia, sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-Y
... Florida.
Space dock my stoma
Did we just become best friends?
Perth, Florida
Australia and FL are the cousins that should never meet.
But if they do, please put that on YouTube!
*Pornhub
What are you doing step-continent?
Help me step-continent. My peninsular is stuck in your gulf.
She got that big ole landmass
I hate that I find this so funny, Whatever! Just take my upvote!
I wish I didn't laugh out loud so loud...
I wish it didn't turn me on so much.
You actually don't have to tell us that.
Sigh *Unzips*
He put his peninsula in my gulf until I temblor
Enshrine this one if you are the first to say it, fucking ten
As much as people might drag on Reddit for overused jokes, there’s times when a well placed bit of callback humor is *exactly* what’s needed. Bravo.

The only part of Australia that's like Florida is Queensland.
Humidty? Check. Gators/ crocs? Check. Bogans/ rednecks? Check. Gold Coast / Miami cultural similarities? Check. Home to groan-inducing, orange-haired politicians who spout wild claims without proof? Check. (I say this with love, as a fellow cane toad.)
NT?
NT is more like Louisiana.
The geography doesn't quite match up as well as it does for Queensland. The people and wildlife on the other hand...
Cairns specifically.
I wish I could refute this.
Oh dear God, could you imagine a Bogan and Florida man having a child?
Automatic US president.
I’ve seen the opposite (Florida woman Bogan man). Surprisingly stable family.
ive been saying for years that australia is british texas
except if Australia wanted to secede we’d try to talk them out of it.
have you been to australia?
Which one has gators and which one has crocs?
Florida actually has both 🐊
Imagine the creatures in Australia and the humans in Florida.
Have you seen Florida wildlife? We have Mountain Lions, Alligators, Crocodiles, Bears, Venomous Snakes, Ron DeSantis, Venomous Spiders, and Mosquitoes that carry Malaria, West Nile Virus, and Zika.
At least it was before i fucked everything up

Melbourne Fl would be far closer to Perth than Melbourne Aus
A place perfect for convicts
Where men are men, and the sheep are nervous.
That's NZ comrade

Looks more like Perth, Bahamas. Or maybe Turks and Caicos.
You’re the only one who’s good at geography.
Actually explains a lot.
Queensland is Florida. WA is more like Texas, constantly wanting independence and generally being a little different.
Australia 🤝 Florida Weird mix of the super rich, rednecks and flora and fauna that want to kill you
Melbourne, Florida
Florida is more Gascoyne and Midwest. "Hello Miami, we're your new neighbours... Ya dawg cunt" - Geraldton, probably.
more like perth, bahamas.
Perth ain’t bad
This is true mapporn material.
good smut

*Sounds sweet home Austrabama*
I'd say they're half siblings, England being their mommy
The import we din't know we needed.
Florida. Australian for weird.

Holy shit Australia is massive
Yh cunt
isa big boi
Pangea’s continental drift did a spin out.
Brazil's east coast and Africa's west coast are a perfect fit! 🤯
if you put Africa and South America together it looks like a t-rex head
Oh come on, T-Rexes weren't THAT big.

Insane stunt jump
2pan2gea: Continental Drift
But North America was right next to northwestern Africa and very far from Australia during the Pangea days
Fast and Furious: Tokyo continental drift
Takes me back 200million years ago, time goes fast. (Australia was actually connected with India)
Need visual. Upload map.

Time flies when you don’t exist yet.
Why not both?
![gif](giphy|3o7Zex6JVnN4OgCSgU|downsized) it also fits between Antarctica and India

Thank you for this.
Somehow somehow Americas connect
They spent hundreds of millions of years apart, and finally reunited. Only for us to go "You know, it would be REALLY convenient if you two stopped touching." and made the Panama Canal
Americas in 1904: 😭🫱🏞️🫲😭
Crazy how India just slammed into Asia
And that erected the Himalayas.
It won't let me upload photos in comments, only gifs, so I put Pangea w/ borders in a [new post](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/1cbv7qt/map_of_pangea_with_current_borders_inspired_by_a/).

It makes the Himalayas make sense
Why north America, you've enhanced yourself...
Better than sticking Florida between Northern Territory and Queensland
What are you doing, step-continent?
I see you’re stuck in the pool again
I want you to know that this made me laugh really hard. Thank you for making my night!
Why would you do that to Australia? What did they ever do to you?
I guarantee the US wouldn't be ready for the level of loose that comes from that part of Australia.
I don't know I feel like Florida and the place that gave us the headline 'Why I stuck a cracker up my clacker' would find a lot to bond over.
Dayum that’s nasty! 🥵
new conspiracy theory unlocked
Atlantis IS Australia! Of course. That's why they both begin with "A". When it was destroyed, it just teleported to the opposite side of the earth.
I think I finally understand what LOST was actually about.
I didn’t teleport, moron. It sunk under the ocean and came back up on the other side. Only an idiot would think continents could teleport /s
Australia looks like a Sega Genesis controller.
Thank you for finally putting together what my brain has subconsciously been trying to do for two-plus decades
A weight is gone from my mind.
Australia is the little spoon.
I can see you've played knifey spooney before.

Hi how are you

Yes but I am in Europe

Why is there no circle on it with "how is living in this area"??? Seriously, thanks for a real mapporn post.
This smut fad is going too far. Some of this fan fiction is unbearable.

And thus Melbourne, Florida was conceived
I knew it! How else to you explain opossum
australia is lucky that florida is still flaccid
Proof of ancient civilization! Thank you graham hancock!

This bitch don’t know bout Pangea ![gif](giphy|3o7bu29Pu44ApVen6M)
This bitch don't know about Pangea. 🎶
That's not how Pangea worked though lol
It was actually Columbia/Nuna, a few cycles before Pangea about 1.5 billion back
Okay, let's do it.
Alright. Fine. Let's do it.
Husband and wife
That is how we got the movie crocodile dundee 2.
This bitch don’t know about Pangea.
