A thousandth of world population is still seven and two-thirds million people. New Zealand and Australia are contributing maybe a third to half of that.

Platystemon posted:A cylindrical projection is the only reasonable option. Lines of latitude must remain level across the image or the whole concept fails. Pseudocylindrical projections would work for horizontal stripes but not vertical ones. It would still have problems, e: whoops but not that!

What if I want to know if there are more people living at one latitude or another? With equirectangular, I can just compare the size of the lines. With Gall-Peters, line thickness is influenced both by latitude and population. There’s no value in an equal-area projection. Trying to understand density is a lost cause cause. For one thing, there are different amounts of water at each latitude. That gives me an idea for a delightfully devilish map: there’s a continuously-varying vertical stretch so that every second of latitude has the same land area.

you want a real hosed up projection/population map? go with the polar projection as a pie chart

The stripey maps are in this thread because they’re bad versions of these maps: The only nice thing I can say about the horizontal stripey one is that it’s easier to track a line across the graph. With the one above, it can be hard to tell which cities are contributing to each peak.  That last one should use an equal-area projection, and there’s no reason to make it cylindrical.

Honestly, it's a really good illustration of just how hosed up the Mercator projection is to Americans who have t seen anything else really. Antarctica is (mostly) properly scaled, as are Greenland and Africa, while familiar regions like South America are rendered unrecognizable

The animations do a good job of showing how much the projections are actually distorting the landmasses. Honestly it might be a better question to ask why it's animating the Xkcd comic rather than proper maps.

I wish it had polls from every five years. It'd be interesting to see the changes from 1945 on, if it ever went the other direction or was just always USSR → USA.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:Interestingly, in Sweden it would be mandatory to turn into the right-hand lane since that's the "base travel lane". (Except if the lanes are signposted to different destinations.) We just had a change in the rules, and before it was always mandatory to use the leftmost lane when turning left, now it is only recommended.
