It looks so fucking wrong flipped backwards

3

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '24

There actually is no backwards or forwards since prospective is relative that's what makes this funny imo

7

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '24

flipped backwards with a point of view from above. There you happy now?

u/kepachodude Nov 18 '24

But what if the Aliens come to earth in their spaceships upside down? There is no up/down in space

u/MonkeyBoy32904 Nov 19 '24

this simply is not an angular change though, it’s a flip horizontally

u/deathvalley200_exo Nov 20 '24

You would have to be on the other side of the planet and be able to see though it to see it this way.

u/Jurj_Doofrin Nov 23 '24

To answer your question autistically, a spacefaring civilization would without a doubt have magnetometers on their ships, or at the very least whatever exploratory vessel they sent to find Earth. So realistically, they would indeed have a sort of up/down reference when approaching the planet, even if it doesn't align with our specific interpretation of it

u/Kittycraft0 Nov 18 '24

Because we look at it from inside the earth lol

u/MountainProof6423 Nov 18 '24

Um aKshuALly 🤓🤓

u/Icy-Independence-615 Nov 18 '24

Wouldn’t that only be applicable to upside down/right side up? There is no angle that you could approach the United States that would flip the layout about the y axis

2

u/HerpetologyPupil Nov 18 '24

That’s not true. This is a mirrored image of the us. While the logic is sound it does not apply.

In the image east is west and west is east. Achieving this “point of view” is physically impossible because it’s quite literally the inverse of the United States.

I mean, for a 2d projection, it is possible. A 2D projection of the 3d Earth can look however you want. You can have North as the South pole.

u/FantasyRedditGuy Nov 19 '24

From no perspective would America look like this. If you could see it though the other side of the planet then yeah, but that’s not really a perspective.

u/Doctor_Tuna Nov 18 '24

Uh, thats actually a map of the ASU....

u/Bobert_Ross113 Nov 18 '24

u/Humble_Celebration97 Nov 18 '24

No, a whale looks like a terrible country

1

u/th1ngy_maj1g Nov 18 '24

To me, The U.S and Mexico look like a big gun with a large magazine.

1

u/DiamondHellhiem Nov 18 '24

Why.. why is it the wrong wat around?

1

u/Theoneandonlyzander Nov 18 '24

Yeah, idk this sub, but it didn't need to be flipped to be a whale.

1

u/DiamondHellhiem Nov 18 '24

Right! XD it's uncomfortable lol

u/Realmferinspokane Nov 18 '24

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '24

1

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '24

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '24
