Not a retard just an honest question. Why do flights from Australia

Thanks for the bump.

The thread was sliding.

probably not enough demand to do such flights without layovers

Also, crossing the international date line.

it's because you have to fly the same way the earth is turning so the real speed of the plane is less

o i am laffin

The distance between Australia and South America's west coast is much greater than the distance between, say, Paris and NYC (a ~9 hour flight). The Pacific is really fucking big.

Also, international date line, in case you hadn't already taken that into account.

Polar projection doesn't mean flat earth.

It's an image explicitly depicts a flat earth model. Note how it's depicted as a disk in perspective, which is not how one usually displays a map projection.

Also note there seems to be a tiny sun over Europe, which is part of flat-earth mythology.

Furthermore, the vaguely leading question is the type flat earthers tend to pose.

>flights from Australia to South America take like 2 and a half days
>>8669066

There are routine flights between Australia and Chile that take about 12.4 hours - where did you get 2.5 days, OP?

He didn't. He just wants to start a flat Earth thread.
