    idk all the details but basically africa looks small as f*** ok maps and ts actually quite larger

    oh i know! theres a great website that lets you compare sizes and stuff.

    people say its racism and whatnot, which im sure played a role in that map being the dominant one.

    but theyre not smaller for s***s, its smaller because you can’t project a 3d sphere on a 2d surface without some sort of distortion. you gotta choose shape, size or some other element to distort for it to be possible.

    this is a map of the world with the true size of the countries. but you have to distort the accurate shape of them to make it work

    how come

    1. Kids are awesome.

    2. The back end of your life is generally better than your front end in terms of financial stability, etc. But in terms of physically, it’s worse. Being younger and being able to keep up physically with your kid in terms of sports and stuff is better IMO.

    3. If you’re like 45 and your kids are adults or near adults, you then generally have more or less freedom to travel anywhere, etc. in a situation where you are still young enough and have the stamina to do most things.

    4. If you’re like 45, and have very young kids, you’re basically waiting until you’re in your mid-late-50s for the same opportunity, and things just aren’t the same at that point for most people.

    That’s why I don’t agree with the whole “enjoying freedom before kids” mentality because that stage of life is where you’re much less generally equipped to enjoy freedom than you are later.

    I usually just use snapchat to compare sizes

    this is all true!

    but also many people are not mentally mature enough to raise kids to the maximum of their ability in their 20s.

    even if its better for YOU to have kids early, so you can enjoy your sunset years better, all that matters is, is if what you did in the best interest of the kid

    also a LOT of people in their 20s just cannot afford it and the ones that do afford it at the concession of their careers or ability to compound their money. which again, would benefit the kid more later on.

    but everyone’s situation is different

    i think the best argument for having kids younger is that it means you get to spend more time with your kids and grandkids overall

    can u explain it to me

    keeps the relative sizes and shapes as accurate as possible, but using a pseudo 3d projection, at the expense of disrupting the oceans.
