The internet is buzzing with laughter over a recent Tumblr post that hilariously maps out the distances to the nearest Bass Pro Shops across the United States. Originally posted by "mapsontheweb" on January 5, 2023, the colorful heat map has caught the attention of many users, offering a blend of humor and geographic curiosity.

At first glance, the map uses varying colors to depict distances to Bass Pro Shops, with red areas indicating regions furthest from the shops, fading into yellow, and then green for areas closest to these outdoor retail giants. The unique visualization has sparked a variety of humorous comments and interactions from Tumblr users.

User "alohakbar" jokingly described the colored zones as "Habitable zones," adding a tongue-in-cheek interpretation to the map's data. Another user, "sometrngalsal," contributed to the fun by cleverly captioning the map as a "Map of the USA if you left it in the back of your fridge for too long," likening the heat map’s appearance to moldy leftovers.

The post's popularity is evident with an impressive 21,307 notes, showcasing a mix of likes, reblogs, and comments. One user, "ditzybitzyspider," reblogged the post from "tyrannosaurus-rex" just three hours after its initial upload, further amplifying its reach.

Among the reactions, a user humorously pointed out, "There's a Bass Pro Shop in Calgary, Alberta, so the entire map of Montana is wrong," adding to the light-hearted nature of the discussion. Another user, "sometrngalsal," felt seen by the post, stating, "I feel so very seen," showing the relatable aspect of the content.

This viral Tumblr post not only provides a laugh but also highlights the widespread influence of Bass Pro Shops across the country. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or just someone who enjoys a good joke, this heat map is a delightful addition to your internet browsing.

#38 this was a litmus test and almost all of the people I know passed, but too many people didn't. Like A: it's boxing, a sport where people punch each other, and B: Iman being that much taller than her opponent is because of the weight class not taking height into account. I'm appalled so many people gave a singular care about this, but it's just made me more p***ed off. I'm not going to shrink myself because a bunch of Internet bigots didn't like the jawline of a cis woman. F*** TERFS.

#55 I know a big draw for people who like horror movies is the "I would do better than the people dying in this movie because I'm not stupid like them", but I like when they make the right choices (that is, the choices I'd make in that situation) and then f***ing die anyways. Much scarier, and makes me reevaluate my thinking.

Pads with wings are also a pain in the a** as the wing tabs will want to stick to everything but the underwear, and half the time they don't even stay in place - I personally had more issues with winged pads staying than the wingless
