    Oh sick, I’ve been an equal-earth enjoyer for a few years now, fully support this!

    It’s going to be hilariously triggering to the chuds cause i could see the EU and PRC using it by default in the next 10 years, so it’ll be kinda common. Next week, Trump will probably XO that all “woke” projections are banned and it’s Mercator-only now.

    You can buy a wall map here: https://equal-earth.com/

    They have some cool designs that center on other meridians.

        Check back next week! But yeah I was thinking about getting one surf the 180° meridian cause I’d rather have the west coast/ pacific ocean and Asia at the center with the east coast and Europe out at the edges

      I wish they had an East Asia centered, south on top physical map, that’d be perfect
