The earth is not flat. It is a banana.
FLAT EARTH
No you fucking idiot!
The earth is LOCALLY flat, giving rise to those retarded ass projections.
Basically "the Mercator projection fucking sucks near the poles"
All that shit functions exactly the same on a flat earth as it would on a round one.

Fuck I hate these moronic threads
Hmm.... why would a projection that is the exactly the same as a globe on the northern hemisphere end up with results that make sense on the northern hemisphere?
Time slows as you get further from the poles. Einstein proved this.
This. Also evident by time dilation near black holes.
