Have you ever wondered where the other side of the world is, from where you live?

I am going to guess that most of us in the US will be somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The closest land mass for me was Australia.

1. Ever since I was 4 and my mother told me

if I dug a deeper hole, I’d be in China.

11. My grandma told me the same thing.

[AllaN01Bear]

[sdfernando]

Closest land mass opposite me is Madagascar.

12. Botswana for me!

14. in the ocean somewhere .

[eppur_se_muova]

16. Indian Ocean -- equidistant from Australia, Ceylon, Mauritius, and the Kerguelen Islands.

I think I finally know where the Middle Of Nowhere is.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Southeast of South Africa, near to the Ile de l'Est...

I think that is where Captain Sparrow hid his rum.

[Danmel]

18. I'm in Cairo

Interesting

[Aristus]

19. Near a couple of small islands due south of Madagascar.

From Puyallup, Washington State, USA.

20. Yellow Sea south of Weihai, China

I'm in the SW hemisphere.
Apparently I can dig my way to China.

21. I'm not sure how accurate this is.

I put in my current area; near Jacksonville fl. Placed me off the eastern coast of Madagascar which is off the south eastern coast of Africa. The Equator runs through the northern quarter of Africa. Doesn't look right.

22. Put in your zip code and let us know if you get something different.

[Fla Dem]

29. Hi Baitball. Sorry Just getting back to you. was out, Anyway........

Same result using my current zip code in NE Florida.

Also tried the zip code for the town I grew up in, just north of Boston. Here's the result. Ends up further south even though the zip code is further north.







No big deal.

[Baitball Blogger]

32. Wait, you're just north of me in Florida, and I ended up in the Indian Ocean just

South of you.

It looks like it's about right.

Don't know what is going on with the Hometown address.

[oldsoftie]

30. I'm only a couple 100 miles northwest of you in GA & I got just west of Australia

[Baitball Blogger]

33. I figured most of the US would be in the Indian Ocean, West of Australia or West of Malaysia.

[Fla Dem]

36. Yep, that's about where I end up, below the equator.

Australia is below the equator, and ALL of the US is above the equator.

[Marthe48]

23. Thanks!

I checked on a globe so long ago, I don't remember the result I'll check

In the ocean off the west coast of Australia.

[Different Drummer]

24. "Most likely, it's only water. Take care not to get wet."

That's the only information I got.

[Baitball Blogger]

25. Did it not show you a map with longitude and latitude?

We must be overloading their system.

[Different Drummer]

31. It gave me longitude and latitude and placed me in the middle of a body of water...

which it didn't identify.

[Baitball Blogger]

34. Yeah, it doesn't name the Indian Ocean.

[Different Drummer]

37. I finally found that the Indian Ocean is what's on the other side of my location.

[underpants]

26. Some where between the moon and New York City

City Richmond Virginia says Indian Ocean but I laughed at the graphic
Richmond Va says Western Australia
Zip code says South Korea

[Baitball Blogger]

27. LOL!

[underpants]

28. I edited

I got three different locations

35. The programmer is going to be shocked in the am when he sees the number

of hits for his program.

Needs to refine his program for the US, methinks.

[drmeow]

39. I got Indonesia

for my North Chesterfield zip code

[underpants]

40. Still it's fun 🤩

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. What it told me: "Youre in the water and all you need is a boat."

Sounds a bit like Colossal Cave Adventure: "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike."

I landed about halfway between Madagascar and Australia.
Without a paddle.
Or canoe.

[sarge43]

41. Indian Ocean, SW of western Australia n/t
