It's from OpenStreetMap, so probably the exact opposite: the tracks were plotted by a person travelling along them with a GPS.

I'd get that for a news show like ABC or CBS but fox and CNN are 24 hour news networks. They have the opportunity to introduce new conversations instead of focusing on the same few ( and dumb most of the time) stories and they mostly do it to keep people watching for advertising. They don't even come at it with differing perspectives beyond what is considered the mainstream left and right.

In the age of the internet we should know that people are capable of focusing on multiple things. Tik tok should show you that there are worldwide superstars you may have never even heard of

Sure but stuff like this usually ends up plastered all over. Memes, serious discussions, etc.

I was surprised to just see one post.

Apparently I'm alone in thinking it's an interesting development, perhaps it's better to forget the whole thing and just move on to something important, like changing how M&Ms dress?

Lickitung seems to be the only exception to this. There’s probably some psychological explanation to why these are less memorable - probably because they aren’t as cute as you said, which is due to the lack of anthropomorphism present in their designs.

As a side note, I’m surprised to see that Lickitung is the least memorable, I’d have guessed some bug type like Metapod for Gen 1.
