They say there’s no map projection of the world which actually presents anything like the real deal, since representing a three-dimensional object on a two-dimensional surface leads to inevitable distortions. The northern hemisphere gets bloated, the oceans get too narrow, distances fail to reflect reality and Africa is way too small. From the get-go, therefore, all maps are essentially fake and so these maps are no less fake, but they are perhaps funnier. These posters, usually from Reddit's, are all obsessed with maps but also messing with maps. So if you want to navigate a weird world that may not exist, these maps are your most trustworthy guide. They can tell you all kinds of facts and perspectives that really aren’t important but are perhaps amusing.
