@rubenerd Spotted your blog post about people assuming everyone’s located in the US. I’m willing to bet that those who do are almost exclusively people born and raised in the US who have traveled very little (if at all) abroad. The first time I’ve seen a cold war era US-American world map in Mercator projection, so much clicked and fell into place for me. It puts the US at the centre of the world and grossly distorts the size of landmasses. See animation for an idea by how much.
