I thought these were different variations of potato chips as I was scrolling through my main feed and saw this pic lol

How the hell does one even make sense of this map? Is there a measure? A legenda? A meaning? Only seems like rotten cheese.

They must have terrible storms to have so much street **lightning…**

it’s difficult to draw any conclusions from these maps

I don’t get it.  Almost the entire nation of France was lit up at night in 2014? Don’t they have rural areas?  How do they make all that cheese?Â
I feel like side by side satellite images would be a better demonstration.

Sure, the French Alps were fully lit back in 2014 and now we’ve decided to turn them off. 😬

Good for insects and therefore probably for crops.

Its not because there are fewer lights, its because they switched to directional led lights which do not scatter as much and thus not so visible from the satellite

OP. I am pretty sure, that you are not talking about “lightning”. Lightning happens during a thunder storm.

This is the opposite of map porn. Where are the mods. Map gore would be a more fitting name.

Im sorry. So in 2014 there were a few places with no streetlight, every other centimeter of the countryside was lit up by streetlights?

Black means more light ?

French here, and this shit still is peak retardation to this day.
My mom has to wake up extra extra early to get to work, so she has to walk the streets in pitch darkness, and risk getting shanked or tripping over something at every corner, so you basically have to use a fucking flashlight, while in the middle of a small city.
Makes it feel like you’re living in a third world, war torn country, which it basically is, fuck this country.

This doesn’t pass the smell test. Gotta be something that is wrong, missing or mis-interpreted here.
There is zero chance that street lights would not be more clustered in either of those images. You can’t even clearly tell where Paris is?? Come on….

Why are they off? Genuinely curious.

100% fake map.
This is not how the cities are distributed.
I consider this regression.
Blue cheese.
