The way you guys handle sponsorships is a gift to mother youtube

[grisheexi]

This is my favorite Map Men video. The laughing at the end, the stupid slapstick humor, the subject, hell, even the sponsorship is amazing.

Portrait of the flat earth society: A man sniflling orange juice while another man beats a globe into flat submission.

[smoothie]

0:52 I like how Jay has a straight face the whole time but cracks a smile just before the cut 😂

[allanflippin]

Another notable projection to consider is Goode homolosine. This one was quite popular in the 60's. It's equal area, and retrains good continent shapes by sacrificing the shapes of oceans, which most folks find less troublesome than misshapen continents.

3:04 those are some steamy search results

[powderedground]

"This has the naughty effect of making Greenland look the size of Africa, when really it's about the size of Greenland."

[kevinbaird]

4:10 I think a right answer is to have at least two maps with different projections in classrooms, so that the students are constantly reminded that no single projection onto a flat surface is "correct", and that they all have different priorities about which distortions they are willing to accept. (As well as whatever the given projections happen to be good at rendering).

[oro]

2:57 a straight line on the map is not a straight line on the globe, but rather a curve that always keeps north at a constant angle. Which is not the optimal path, but an easy one to follow with a compass. That’s why planes’ paths do not look straight if you ever look at them

[nimay]

That is the most entertaining advert ever. I'm not even mad.

[QueenFondue]

Today I learned that Greenland is about the size of Greenland.

[note]

I'm one of those vulnerable loners scouring the internet for answers in an increasingly incomprehensible world ( 1:10 ), and I'm glad I landed on this gem!

[laurax]

I will never not laugh at:

“STUPID ORANGE! STOP BEING ROUND! START BEING FLAT!”

[owenpasternak]
