But for just conversations sake. How huge is that pole in the globe if it was real?

I'm too stupid to figure out the scale between that pole and the earth, so I did this instead:

  • Let us say that we have a standard globe and it has been attached to its stand from the south and north poles, so that you can spin it around on the stand

  • Let us assume that the "pole" attached to the globe is 2cm in diameter and that the scale of the globe is 1:42M

  • With this, it would mean that a 2cm "pole" on a globe would in real life correspond to a pole that is 840 kilometers in diameter.

Needless to say, that pole would be fucking massive either way.

This is just insanely detailed if you can already see the three lines next to the car…

It's why it's called the North Pole | Spyke
