The original is a exaggerated estimate (projection) based on a assumed sphere, probably WGS84, because a lot of the global satellite data is formatted as such.
“reality” as in extremely exaggerated deviations from the ellipsoid. Otherwise it would just look like a smooth sphere. Earth has 12’700 km diameter. From the shallowest point to mount everest are just about 20 km. That is a 0.15 % change. You would see nothing.
I think that would be too much. A bowling ball is really smooth. It would not roll as well with such deviations all over the place.
At a diameter of 22 cm, the roughness would have to be in the order of 0.3 mm, which would not just be visible due to the distorted reflections, it would even be audible while rolling.
It might as well be a reaction video with a side by side of people who “get the joke” and people who don’t. Like, I don’t need a reaction of the person that doesn’t get the joke lmao
Isn’t the Atlantic Ocean going to become larger than the Pacific in a relatively short geologic time scale? I ask because this is mander.xyz and I’m lazy, and also because I’m aware of the Mid-Atlantic ridge seafloor spreading and the fact that the Americas used to be attached to Europe and Africa. Meanwhile the Pacific plate is subducting under various continental plates.
Keep bullying the Atlantic and see what happens in 100 million years when it’s bigger than you 🫣
Okay, interesting, but how about this: just discard the 13 stars, since nobody cares about new england actually. set the number of stripes to just two with red on the bottom half and white on top, then make the blue stretch all the way to the bottom and probably make it a little less wide to compensate, then center the lone star among the blue sky. I think that’d be a much better flag.
Alright look just because a certain someone made the best of all these “style” designs doesn’t mean the motherland doesn’t deserve at least a little better.
Though the large center star is the least compelling aspect due to the similarity, perhaps it should be the same size as the others.
