alstralia is not the size of russia, i asked for an accurate map

2019-12-22 14:01:11 UTC  

"""F L A T M A P"""

2019-12-22 14:01:30 UTC  

What, you want a 3D model?

2019-12-22 14:01:42 UTC  

That’s called a globe

2019-12-22 14:01:48 UTC  

no, just a flat map without distortions

2019-12-22 14:01:56 UTC  

but instead im being given text

2019-12-22 14:02:04 UTC  

look to a globe, a flat map wrapped around a ball

2019-12-22 14:02:16 UTC  

you cant perfectly wrap something flat around a ball

2019-12-22 14:02:18 UTC  

Because how else are they supposed to make it

2019-12-22 14:02:26 UTC  

R Simmons did it

2019-12-22 14:02:39 UTC  

well, i should say a flat circle around a ball

2019-12-22 14:03:02 UTC  

welp, they all use flat maps to navigate so.......

2019-12-22 14:03:15 UTC  

clearly you dont understand navigation

2019-12-22 14:03:28 UTC  

Because it’s easier to navigate in birds eye view

2019-12-22 14:03:54 UTC  

You can see the way clearer

2019-12-22 14:03:55 UTC  

why not use a globe?

2019-12-22 14:04:02 UTC  

you know the map shown in schools? That one distorted map? That is the most popular map because it makes navigation easy. Not because it's accuate

2019-12-22 14:04:10 UTC  

@Slash how do you know if the a globe map is distorted?

2019-12-22 14:04:46 UTC  

Because flat maps are easier to transport

2019-12-22 14:04:46 UTC  

it's really easy to figure out the sizes of countries. also i found the most accuate flat map but your not going to like it

2019-12-22 14:04:53 UTC  

Unlike a big round globe

2019-12-22 14:05:25 UTC  

look up the AuthaGraph map

2019-12-22 14:05:41 UTC  

that is the most accuate flat map.

2019-12-22 14:05:50 UTC  

how do you know?

2019-12-22 14:06:12 UTC  

dude, people litterly studied it to make sure the distances and country sizes were correct

2019-12-22 14:06:14 UTC  

i guess someone told you

2019-12-22 14:06:49 UTC  

so i guess just because its on the popular maps you think greenland and antartica are bigger then russia

2019-12-22 14:06:51 UTC  

Distortions occur when you change the shape and size. Nothing changes proportionally on a globe

2019-12-22 14:07:03 UTC  

that is your claim

2019-12-22 14:07:37 UTC  

omfg

2019-12-22 14:07:40 UTC  

repeating claims is not evidence

2019-12-22 14:07:54 UTC  

It could be wrong, there’s always new islands popping up and large swatches of land being eroded away, and some places aren’t depicted anyway, but distortions don’t just magically appear for no reason

2019-12-22 14:08:12 UTC  

Showing a map that is disgustingly distorted doesnt make that map reality

2019-12-22 14:08:21 UTC  

I want someone to justify Australia looking like a sausage

2019-12-22 14:08:33 UTC  

It doesn’t

2019-12-22 14:08:36 UTC  

do you have a photo of austrailia?

2019-12-22 14:08:41 UTC  

Yes

2019-12-22 14:08:46 UTC  

can i see it
