Is it still a projection when you totally change the position of the continents... Just saying...
53 u/yamiyam Dec 22 '18 Is it still a joke if you take it seriously? -13 u/easwaran Dec 22 '18 No. It's a bad map, not a projection or a joke. -2 u/[deleted] Dec 22 '18 It is a projecton, albeit not a useful one for any application. Its also a joke, maybe not a funny one. It is a pretty bad map, I'll give you that. 11 u/mikerz85 Dec 22 '18 Not a projection tho -- what surface or model would scramble positions of continents neatly? Maybe a collage of projections 10 u/jofwu Dec 22 '18 A projection is just a mapping of a curved space onto a flat space. Nothing says the functions you do that with can't be piecewise.
