Comment on Denominator, go Mercator
lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 weeks agoThis map is clipping a good chunk of the Southern Hemisphere. When you include it, you also notice the same distortion:
Note how it looks like Antarctica (14*10⁶km²) is 1/4 of the globe, even if it’s actually smaller than South America (18*10⁶km²).

so they’ve gone full circle (or should I say sphere) and we really inhabit a sphere, just not the sphere the sheeple believe in? that’s amazing

And the sphere is specifically large enough so that the curvature is too small to measure. Except every experiment that they’ve done to prove the Earth is flat just ends up proving that it’s a sphere (or close enough) of the size we’re taught in school.
All flat Earthers are fucking stupid
