GlobalCrisisMap.com Goes Viral For Showing All Countries Simultaneously On Fire, Internet Briefly Panics
A new website called GlobalCrisisMap.com became the fastest-growing domain in internet history after launching yesterday with a world map where every single country appeared to be engulfed in flames. The map, which was supposed to show 'active wildfires,' allegedly used a glitchy JavaScript library that made all countries appear ablaze regardless of actual fire conditions. Users from Switzerland, one of the least fire-prone nations, were shocked to see their peaceful alpine country looking like a scene from Dante's Inferno. The website's creator, who identified himself only as 'concerned developer Dave from his mom's basement,' has since updated the map to show more accurate fire data and added a disclaimer that reads 'please don't email us death threats, it's just a coding error.'
