Thank you for pointing this out! I had never noticed it before, but after seeing your comment I went back and looked - and laughed for 5 minutes straight 🤣
is seriously no one gonna talk about how at 3:05 jay's search history is "naked trains" "trains with their clothes off" "steam locomotives not wearing any clothes" "choo choo trains in the nip"
Another notable projection to consider is Goode homolosine. This one was quite popular in the 60's. It's equal area, and retrains good continent shapes by sacrificing the shapes of oceans, which most folks find less troublesome than misshapen continents.
I just looked this up, and, if a map projection could ever be associated with a historical era, it screams 60's! I immediately visualized it in a Pan Am airlines brochure or lit up on the wall of a Bond villain's lair.
4:10 I think a right answer is to have at least two maps with different projections in classrooms, so that the students are constantly reminded that no single projection onto a flat surface is "correct", and that they all have different priorities about which distortions they are willing to accept. (As well as whatever the given projections happen to be good at rendering).
well the amount of men's varies. last episode there were a bunch and this one there's none because, despite what mathematicians may lead you to believe, zero is a number
Before any smartass comes to argue it's Cyrillic, it's Russian because they cannot pronounce the "Th" in "this" so they replace it with "z". They also cannot say "Bluetooth", they say "Bluethus". Most other Cyrillic-alphabet countries can pronounce "th" - commonly as "d" (д).

2:57 a straight line on the map is not a straight line on the globe, but rather a curve that always keeps north at a constant angle. Which is not the optimal path, but an easy one to follow with a compass. That’s why planes’ paths do not look straight if you ever look at them
mygod. after finding out their voices are switched in the advert, the comments in the video, then this? Is there any hidden details that are still hiding? I think we have the best episode lol
I have a feeling that may be a design of that globe. It seems to brake suddenly when it hits that position, implying that the globe may have a mechanism that brakes it a certain angles of rotation. Still a fluke to hit the exact same one, obviously, but also a design of the globe, probably to keep it from spinning at low speeds.
2:25 According to this logic, I think I know the answer. The sides of the map will be more squished, and the center will be a bit bigger. But if you think about it the two sides are actually really close to each other, because the flat map is 2× stretchier than a globe, so it likes to show everything at once. The globe has many different angles to look at.
Slight correction: A straight line on a Mercator map isn't a straight line on the earth, Mercator's advantage is that the angles are preserved at any given point. For example, two lines meeting at a 30 degree angle IRL would be at a 30 degree angle on Mercator. This only works at points though, if you draw a line on a globe and project it onto a Mercator it will be curved.
@@Jacob-yg7lz The same problem occurs in Mercator. The north and south poles are at infinity, so we just chop them off! Why can't we do that in stereographic projection?
@@Anonymous-df8it Because the map literally becomes way too big if you include anything at above/below a certain line of longitude. Seriously, look up stareoscopic projections, you won't see any that don't have entire continents cut in half.
@@Jacob-yg7lz You mean latitude. And, in the Mercator projection, you're not going to find one that doesn't have the poles chopped off (and everything above 85 degrees latitude, I think!)
4:30 Aside from the visual starkness of missing pieces, the Interrupted Projection map seems to be an ingenious solution to the Mercator distortion. I wouldn't want to use this map for navigation, but for the purpose of teaching us about the world around us, I applaud the concept.

Ok but what I never got was for classroom purposes why not warp the ocean but not the land? I think it's way more important to understand the actual size and shape of most of the land in the world than know the water, since as we've established (3:53) children (and most people really) do not need world maps for navigational purposes.
Realistically, because no one cares. You have to keep in mind, most people just can’t be bothered with a niche subject like maps. Mercator is what people are used to, so they’ll pick Mercator when given the choice.
They USED TO use a version of the Mercator (technically it's slightly different but that's a whole thing), and in fact I think you can still set it to do that, but technology marched on and allowed them to make it a globe.
Easter eggs: 0:55 jay was slightly smiling 2:58 hint comment says Pen!$ Projection! And then 3:21 3:05 jay’s search history says Naked trains, trains with their clothes off, steam locomotives not wearing any clothes, Choo Choo trains in the nip 4:55 they changed voices

At 0:14 when Mark spins the Globe it stops in a very similar place to where it started (If the map men are reading this then it is possible your globe needs oiling. It is also possible it doesn't need oiling, other various possibilities include: It isn't your globe, Mark performed brief and accidental telekinesis, I'm not real and other equally possible possibilities.)

@@markcooper-jones7494 doing my bit as your eleventh sub :D
@@markcooper-jones7494 They would need to merge with Udemy. I don't want to make another account. No I don't want a Dashlane account to manage both my skillshare and udemy accounts.
@@DrivingDrones Aww frick it. I just signed up, because I wanted a course.
I considered it as well and am going to have a look at what courses they have.. but I don't intend on signing up to anything..yet
my geography teacher at school was awesome and I highly suspect if this had been uploaded while I was there he would have shown this in class, shout out to Mr Barrett and all the awesome geography teachers around the not flat world
These ads are so good you should have an ad agency
This is the best "Subscribe to Skillshare" request ever. You guys rock
Thanks so much. If you were to sign up using the link, I'd have to say you 'rock' too! (Go on...)
The skillshare song has made my day! I cant stop playing it! *skipping to work singing SKILLSHARE! as people stare at me*
Ok but what I never got was for classroom purposes why not warp the ocean but not the land? I think it's way more important to understand the actual size and shape of most of the land in the world than know the water, since as we've established (3:53) children (and most people really) do not need world maps for navigational purposes.
Realistically, because no one cares. You have to keep in mind, most people just can’t be bothered with a niche subject like maps. Mercator is what people are used to, so they’ll pick Mercator when given the choice.

What did I do to deserve this?
5:01 I see that singing songs one syllable off thing is paying off
This makes me feel very fortunate that zooming out on Google Maps gives you a globe and not a horribly not-to-scale flat map.
They USED TO use a version of the Mercator (technically it's slightly different but that's a whole thing), and in fact I think you can still set it to do that, but technology marched on and allowed them to make it a globe.
Still waiting for the globe update on android and iOS versions tho
I watched the whole ad... well done!! You guys rock!
Easter eggs:
0:55 jay was slightly smiling
2:58 hint comment says Pen!$
Projection! And then 3:21
3:05 jay’s search history says
Naked trains, trains with their clothes off, steam locomotives not wearing any clothes, Choo Choo trains in the nip
4:55 they changed voices
3:33
The Cyrillic reads "Zis iz bulshit!".
@@sapphoenixthefirebird5063 Yes! It's even in English with Cyrillic characters so even I got it
“mercator projection is a bit racist”
*angry cartography noises*
“thats not true”
*calming cartography noises*
No, it is definitely racist. It’s just not intentionally so. As the video says.
if it's not intentional, it's not racist.
I don't see how inaccurate geography can be 'racist'. The size of a country has nothing to do with value of the people that live there.
It didn't start off racist, but it certainly made racists very happy.
@@alexis_electronic "Wow im a racist im so happy this map wrongly shows my country to be bigger than it really is"...ye no, no racist people thinks the mercator projection has anything to do with race, its just a map
Wow the third map men in a row
Can't wait for the return of Politics unboringed and Unfinished london
I'm italian and I'm strangely interested in London's stuff
Same (w/o the being Italian thing)
It's the worst city in England
@@keeganoftheheath1545 I've heard disparaging things about Wirral. I'm sure England has lots of bad cities if you give it the chance.
@@ThAlEdison Fortunately, Im not from the Wirral and yes all English cities are awful beside the small traditional shire capitals.

That example with the orange is such a great example, it should be taught in geography classes
1:05 damn flat earthers must be really concerned about climate change.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ALL THE WATER FALLS OFF?!
More so than global warming...
And how does actually he atmosphere work? Is it upwards eternal, or an air ocean in that Antarctica bowl?
My first thoughts
Meg Alyssa Falls off? There are ice walls around the edge of the Earth. Thats why we aren’t allowed to travel to Antarctica. U have to be supervised and if u go to a certain distance u will be told to leave by military.
Ramsn Sora scientist live at the depths of antartica? Why? 😂
This whole thing from beginning to end is absolutely exceptional entertainment
I love that you did each other's dubbing
At 0:14 when Mark spins the Globe it stops in a very similar place to where it started (If the map men are reading this then it is possible your globe needs oiling. It is also possible it doesn't need oiling, other various possibilities include: It isn't your globe, Mark performed brief and accidental telekinesis, I'm not real and other equally possible possibilities.)
