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.
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.
You can find experiments where people can see the base of things miles away, which shouldn't happen. You can see amateur telescopic video where they show this. My point was if we were actually living in some kind of North Korea system where we weren't allowed to leave they'd just have to tell us the mapped world is everything that exists and that's why you can't go anywhere else.
Flat earth society is a disinformation campaign run by the CIA. It takes all kinds of legitimate questions you could ask about phony space travel, the fact that you can't go to antarctica and no planes fly over it, the actual size and dimensions of the earth, why maps arent accurate, etc, and wraps them up in a crackpot argument where if you look into this you're an idiot who thinks the earth is flat. Alien people say any UFOs prove that aliens exist. It's the same thing.
Why the hell are Americans so horrendous at geography?

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?

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