Remember that it is always half of Earth that gets sunlight. This illustrates how much of the Pacific is missing in this projection.

There isn't any of the Pacific missing in this projection...you can see right where it starts at the Bering Strait and ends in the exact same place. If this map were centered on the Pacific it would probably seem larger, but there's none missing.

Bro what you still think the Pacific is a real thing and not a random area invented by the government to have the world map look more satisfying

Seriously. Have people never seen that part of the Pacific? Don't just fly over it. Get out and touch dirt.

It's warped, not missing. Just like the resized continents are all there in full, just incorrect (relative) sizes.

We don't have burger king in Australia. Its called hungry jacks. There was another chain called burger king, now gone, and burger king bought an existing chain called hungry jacks. So it would work!

We know. That's like the main Australian fact, it's important to mention it at every opportunity. Along with, you know, the emu War.

If it's not on the summer solstice (Jun 20), then shouldn't there be two dates where this is the case, one before and one after?

Is the angle different the other side somehow? Is the north/south swapped or something?

how about we deport our prisoners to Australia. We're not animals though, so we'll load the ships with a bunch of rabbits to sustain them until they settle in.

Are you implying that we should be counting atlanteans, cetaceans, the nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh, and the mole people? I don't think they much care about being left out.
