minus-squareominous ocelot@leminal.spacelinkfedilinkarrow-up46·6 days agoOr use the proper projection.
minus-squareteft@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up48·6 days agoYeah, like the Euler Projection.
minus-squarebonenode@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 days agoOh wow! All countries are in the same line!!!
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 days agolol, accurate but a bit difficult to see a lot of continuity.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 days agoThe linked latitude longitude graph looked like it was all in a pretty straight lines though.
