I read that in tone of Andy Samburg’s character in Threw It on the Ground when he says, “My dad’s not a phone! Duh!”

Space. Who knew the land actually had lines like that? Guess that’s why the states and provinces are shaped the way they are though.

Those Nazcas were a lot more wide ranging than I thought.

A few of them were bad at following the plans for their part of the drawing and got lost.

The shapes of states are arbitrary. That is an actual photo from space, but the white lines are added to the image after the fact.

That’s ridiculous, are you trying to tell me that they draw those lines on every photo instead of marking the ground once? Typical government waste! Also, this community is for serious posting and commenting only.

It’s definitely from the south, and low earth orbit is really low. It’s like putting your eye right up to a baseball, almost touching it.
See where the ISS orbits, to scale, here: Image

There aren’t really lines, they did that with wires
