Crazy how maps don't show the true size of each country. feels like my whole life been a lie 🤯

Coincidence that America and Europe is made to look so much bigger but not Africa...

so confused to what im supposed to be looking at

dark blue is how big each country really is

OP forgot that a round object cannot be perfectly portrayed on a flat surface

naw I know that, it's not the point

point is everyone looks at maps and doesn't realize how distorted it is

well yeah a lot of people are pretty dumb

also theres a lot more land that near to the arctic in comparison to the antarctic which is why u dont rly see as much distortion to the south

maps are truly a d*** swinging contest.

the fake map shows european countries are bigger

facts tho??

ok nerd 🙄

It's a small world - That's what she said

thetruesize.com

check this site, you can drag em around and compare

there's no way russia and greenland are that small??????

Canada on some major bullshit

they did this on oprah a while back. if anyone can post the video it'd be great.

I mean yeah. Africa is huge. You can fit all of China, India, the US, all of eastern Europe, the UK, France, Spain & Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Germany and Japan in there and still have room left.

Most western maps inflate their own and some asian countries. Supposedly it's to fit more cities and detail into those countries since they're considered more important since 'we live there' but that's a load of crap. If that were the case Russia, Greenland, Scandinavia etc. where there's not that much cities and towns wouldn't be so inflated but yet they are.

It's because these countries try to build the illusion that they're bigger than they really are, and clearly many people believe it.

You think Russia and Greenland are bigger than Africa?

Why all world maps are wrong

we really live on a small f***ing planet thats crazy

Ayo B does this mean the worlds flat

Pause

we all from africa

he didnt mention Africa

how the hell im supposed to know lol i thought maps were real

wait so ur saying that potentially my d*** size with the ruler might be inflated ?

Its not 3 inches bro ?

Greenland probably has gotten smaller since this map was published
