#AskNostr think back on the longest-distance international flight you've ever taken (at least 1 layover)
Does the path the plane took make more sense on a globe map, or a flat earth map? (both attached)
I'll go first:
The longest flight I've ever taken was Seattle🇺🇸 ➡️ Melbourne 🇦🇺, and the layover was in Xiamen🇨🇳. This layover location makes a lot more sense on FE than globe.
You could also try mapping the actual flight route, rather than a straight line drawn from A to B.
For example if you fly London to New York, it will appear as a curved line on the 2D map as it goes almost over the Arctic, but will be a straight line (the shortest distance) on an actual 3D globe.
I circled the globe in six days.
Sorry, meant to use this profile to say I circled the globe.
You assume layover point is always on same path? Pretty retarded.
How can you say whats the longest flight when you can't even calculate the distances?
Let's check direct flight from Australia to South Africa. How far is it straight line?
Enough bad graphics, let's talk numbers. Unless you are afraid of truth.
I bet you 100k sats you don't know the answer.
It makes more sense on globe map cos it's correct representation of reality and pilots need to know exact distances
Which fake flat map can't provide.
