332 projections, varied attempts to depict relative sizes among continents. As viewed from Equator, latitude 0°00'00'', those Southern and Northern most fall out of size due to perspective, with polar positions 90° from Equator.
If views were taken from higher latitudes, the entire Asian continent would 'shrink' instead.

332 more arguments of proof, vexing flat earthers for a long time.

I heard a joke the other day one lady asked another I will not mention hair color race skin color age or ethnic origin.
One lady, Sorry have to also be gender nonspecific one person, I guess we can still use that word asked the other which was closer the moon or California. To which the reply was Hello, can you see California from here?
