Dont k ow wtf just happened, but when i looked at that map, it was wrong. I think it was flipped upside sown and zoomed in, but the coloured bits were the right way up and not zoomed.
I could not figure out the shape of the earth, couldnt see any continents i recognized. When i saw what i assumed was Antarctica at the top, i assumed the map was flipped, but i still couldn't find any countries.
I saw a comment about a single line near brasil, and when i saw it, it was on the land.
I scrolled further and found a map with arrows suowing the circular motion of the winds and when i went back up the map was flipped the correct way, zoomed out and the single line was off the coast of brasil.
But obviously thats not possible so i just had another look and realised. I saw the land as water and the water as land. It switched when i looked away and now i cant switch it back.
This was trippy as hell.
Oh shit i read your comment and went back up and could switch to see it that way. Fuck that’s weird.
