Do we really need all this Mercator ragebait? Just look at a fucking globe - it’s the thing your dad keeps the scotch in.

(alternatively most map apps go to a globe view when you zoom right out.)

Well, … no, at least GMaps, OSMAnd, Comaps don't. Thanks to @shadowtofu@discuss.tchncs.de for the hint. https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/23729118

Mine doesn't. Neither map view nor satellite view.

Not even a mention of africa

i mean, i'd say the lack of tube lines is the bigger issue
