Made a meme one that took 3 minutes to program, 5 minutes to find a good offline GeoIP location source for, 10 minutes to come up with a design for, and half an hour to make sure nothing got logged by the web server.
Joke's on you. IP geolocation where I am is an unreliable mess and your image got it wrong by about 1000km!
I'm sure it would be better if I paid MaxMind money, but that'd go a bit far for a stupid meme picture that I'll probably take down in less than a week.
