A leaf talks about overcompensating with a mercator. Absolute kek. Call me when 95% of your population doesn't live within 100 mi of the border

we don't use it, only americans do

with global warming you will be the ones living 100 mi from their borders

>american goes off topic so that they can make it about themselves

I wonder how many Icelands you could fit into Alaska?

Alaska 1,717,856 km2
Iceland 103,001 km2

16.678 times

Imagine getting filtered by the og navigation map.

Ah yes, the classic "You live there because of the US" argument. Want to explain how that claim lines up with these areas also being where all major native tribes lived before Euros even existed here? Couldn't be arable land and water resources, nor the dense rocky land of the Canadian Shield ruining agriculture, must have just been those sneaky Algonquins predicting the future.

Good work, thought it would be closer to 50 desu

You think I'm gonna take the time to read all that cope?

stay in your hot, sweaty shithole Ahmed. I'll be fine chilling in the Rockies.

Canadians are

didn't read
go back to studying for your computer science exams you'll fail, chang

I'm used to the heat 60 degrees is acceptable for me, was worried about you Andrew that you will not die of heat by not going up north

Yes

Homicide rates in your country are just 4x lower than ours today

100% correct chads reporting in!

I wonder why...

>It became the standard map projection for navigation because of its unique property of representing any course of constant bearing as a straight segment. Such a course, known as a rhumb or, mathematically, a loxodrome, is preferred in marine navigation because ships can sail in a constant compass direction for long stretches, reducing the difficult, error-prone course corrections that otherwise would be needed frequently when sailing other kinds of courses.
>Linear scale is constant on the Mercator in every direction around any point, thus preserving the angles and the shapes of small objects and fulfilling the conditions of a conformal map projection.
>As a side effect, the Mercator projection inflates the size of objects away from the equator. This inflation is very small near the equator but accelerates with increasing latitude to become infinite at the poles. So, for example, landmasses such as Greenland and Antarctica appear far larger than they actually are relative to landmasses near the equator, such as Central Africa.
It was made for the easier navigation of ships.
Due to the shape of the earth it is nearly impossible to depict landmass, bearing and/or length. It was made for the easier navigation of ships.
Due to the shape of the earth it is nearly impossible to accurately depict landmass, bearing and/or length.
For accurate landmass maps, i like the Mollweide-Projection.

>b-b-but it's muh racist whites trying to look bigger on the map

The name of mercatos map was "Nova et aucta orbis terrae descriptio ad usum navigantium". Roughly translated into english as: "New and enhanced description of the world for the usage of navigation."
But you can use any map to deliver, or burdon it with, any meaning you want.

Why do conservatives get so pissy about hispanics when their crime rates are basically level with non-hispanic whites?

CHI can't read

but what about muh movie when they show the LIE to keep the southern emisphere down???
