RE: A weird question I have after a debate with a Flat Earther.
Maps look weird simply because they are globe projection maps. If you look at a globe, all of the continents look completely normal. There is no way to 'project' a globe onto a map without distorting something. There are tons of tutorials on this online, and there is even a 'projection map maker' where you can make a globe projection map with the center of the map anyplace you like on earth.
That the flat earth community cannot come up with a map that is not distorted, when it should be easy to map a flat plane onto a flat surface without distortion, is a big piece of evidence that the earth is not flat.
