Remember that it is always half of Earth that gets sunlight. This illustrates how much of the Pacific is missing in this projection.
There isn’t any of the Pacific missing in this projection…you can see right where it starts at the Bering Strait and ends in the exact same place. If this map were centered on the Pacific it would probably seem larger, but there’s none missing.
Bro what you still think the Pacific is a real thing and not a random area invented by the government to have the world map look more satisfying
Seriously. Have people never seen that part of the Pacific? Don’t just fly over it. Get out and touch dirt.
Pssh, spoken like a true sheep. I bet you think birds are real too.
It’s warped, not missing. Just like the resized continents are all there in full, just incorrect (relative) sizes.
during a solar eclipse less than half of the Earth is lit
obligatory your mum climbs a ladder joke
But on 4/20 more than half of the Earth is lit so it balances out
We’re doing our own thing July 8th and you guys aren’t welcome

Free Burger King for everyone under the sun!
We don’t have burger king in Australia. Its called hungry jacks. There was another chain called burger king, now gone, and burger king bought an existing chain called hungry jacks. So it would work!
We know. That’s like the main Australian fact, it’s important to mention it at every opportunity. Along with, you know, the emu War.
And that all Aussies love cookin’ shrimp on the barbie

And back in the 90s, Hungry Jack’s had a set of mascots called the Kids’ Club that had something to do with their kid meals. One of them was a kid in a wheelchair named Wheels.
If it’s not on the summer solstice (Jun 20), then shouldn’t there be two dates where this is the case, one before and one after?
Is the angle different the other side somehow? Is the north/south swapped or something?
If Jul 8th is one of them, Jun 2nd would be other. There’s no swapping of north/south.
We’d know
This would have been the perfect map to drop New Zealand. Smh
How about now?
(NZ) Nothing to see here. Move along.
What’s the point, we kinda do it anyway
Is it true?
how about we deport our prisoners to Australia. We’re not animals though, so we’ll load the ships with a bunch of rabbits to sustain them until they settle in.
“World population of known humans”, fixed that for ya

Are you implying that we should be counting atlanteans, cetaceans, the nightmare corpse-city of R’lyeh, and the mole people? I don’t think they much care about being left out.
