Shoutout to the guy who posted that map of Australia shaped like a chicken

I used to think those bad map posts were just people being nitpicky about fonts or border lines. Then last week I saw this one where someone had drawn Australia and it looked exactly like a roasted chicken drumstick. At first I rolled my eyes, like come on it's just a rough sketch. But then I actually looked at the real shape of Australia side by side with a chicken leg and honestly it kind of fits. The northern coast curves like the thigh part and Tasmania hangs off like the little bone end. I spent a solid 15 minutes comparing satellite images and chicken anatomy diagrams. Now I can't unsee it. Has anyone else found a map that accidentally looks like something totally random?

The chicken leg Australia thing is wild. I spent way too long last night looking at it and now I can't unsee it either. Tasmania really does look like the little bone bit at the end.

troykim you ruined my entire google maps experience. now every time i look at the country i just see a giant drumstick floating in the ocean. western australia is the thigh meat and tasmania is definitely the little knobby end you gnaw on. great, now i'm hungry and geographically confused at the same time.
