If you go left or right on a map, everything repeats, but if you go up and down it doesn’t
Conclusion: The Earth is not flat, but a cylinder

Huh? It would "repeat" if you went from pole to pole though

On a map if you go off the left side of the screen you end up on entering on the right side again, but if you go off the top of the screen you don't enter on the bottom do you

Actually; if you go up or down off the edge of the map you reappear on the same edge but at a different location and going roughly in the opposite direction.
Conclusion: The Earth is not a cylinder, but a cone.

Congrats on figuring out that the world is a sphere and not a torus.

>>7975871
But that applies to both the north and south poles. Conclusion: The earth is two cones placed base-to-base.

Map =/= Earth

That's because we decided the top of the map would be the north pole and the bottom would be the south pole.
You could cut the map in the middle of the atlantic, switch one part upside down and put it is bove the other, and the map would still be correct except now both the top and bottom of the map are the south pole.
The map would repeat from top to bottom but not from left to right.
