Am I going crazy or does this look wrong?

I remember having a conversation with my third grade teacher about how far away Japan is from China.

Also Australia looks weird. I never remember it having a dimple.

Google Maps does have a bad case of Mercator Projection... or you're just bad at geography.

>>510789
You should look at maps more often

you're probably just American.

Nah senpai.
Google maps is a mercator projection, but the geographical inaccuracies are mainly up north involving Greenland and Russia and shit. East Asia and North Aussieland are fine.

>>510789
You are totally right, I'll bet you are on the verge of discovering a huge conspiracy
