  • The world map they show you isn't accurate anyway. You're more of an idiot for believing it.

    • Yeah there's no way Alaska is next to Hawaii.

      • Also, Greenland is always shown to be way larger than it actually is. Some map projections show it properly, so why can't they all?

        • Try mapping something correctly going from a sphere to a flat surface (it's a bitch) on a globe it's to scale but when you have to compress it to a flat surface continents are either compressed or drawn out. If it was done to scale the map would be very weird border wise since it wouldnt be a rectangular map rather a patchwork of blobs.

          • Some map projections do have everything looking properly. I don't see why we don't use those.

            • Scale is off, Not into flat earth or anything but they do raise the issue that actual observations don't match maps. Lots of places you can see things that should be behind the curve, so if anything they aren't being honest about the size of the earth.

              Flat earth is for literalist bible people, but if they wanted to hide other land they didn't want us to know about all they'd have to do is leave it off the map.

              • That's not Assyria actually true. You can't see things that "should be behind the curve" because they are. The number people often use to say such things as what you've said is wrong and doesn't account for many things.
