South America is almost entirely displaced to not be directly below North America, and it's still weird despite knowing it to be true. My eyes just glaze over it on a standard map. e: South America's easternmost point is the same longitude as Iceland, and its westernmost is the same as Lake Ontario. It's way out there.

A cool little map toy that's making the rounds today: place a raindrop anywhere on Earth and follow its route to the sea (or the local endorheic basin equivalent, as applicable). https://river-runner-global.samlearner.com/

This thing led me to learn that rain in my hometown passes through both Dead Indian Mountain and Robert Lee City. Yikes, Texas. It also thinks the Rhin and the Rhein are different rivers. Hot political takes from 1870. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jul 13, 2022 |

If you're looking at the world from inside the Hollow Earth (with X-Ray Specs) that's what it looks like.

It's one of the equirectangular ones where both north and south are skewed long, instead of say Big Greenland and Small Africa

I bought some old maps from an area where I used to live and the name changes a certain very unimportant geological feature went from 1954 to the present were a doozy. The 1954 name was truly shocking when I found it to the point I won’t even repeat it to anyone.

I wonder what the weather patterns would be like on Backwards World. Reversing the ocean gyres would gently caress everything up. You'd have, like, wet North Africa, and frozen Scotland, and Newfoundland like the south of France. *takes huge bong rip*

Unless my 3d visualization is screwed up that would change the wind and ocean currents in a similar way to a left-right inversion. Oh, usual caveat: Other parts of the site feature some nws images.

The most eastern point of Brazil is Cabo Branco at 35°W while the westernmost point of Iceland is 25°W. Even if you include tiny uninhabited outlying islands (Ilha do Boi / do Sul) they still don't quite overlap: Brazil has some islands out to 29°W and South Sandwich Islands to 26°W. I'd never heard about those Brazilian islands though! I thought Fernando de Noronha was the furthest east island in Brazil (and it's at 32°W). E: The westernmost point of South America is either 81°W (continental) or 92°W (Galapagos), or 109°W if you cheat (Easter Island). Lima (77°W) is 3° west of NYC. Galapagos is about the same as the westernmost tip of the Great Lakes, or Little Rock. Easter Island is just west of Denver. Saladman fucked around with this message at 20:51 on Jul 14, 2022 |
