I’m really confused. The only thing that they’re pointing to is “again”. I’m not sure what that means. Anyone willing to add some more arrows to help me understand?

You are correct and wtf?

There is some confusion on this matter, and I want to clear it up.

According to the global world map, and even according to the Gleason map, London is clearly located much further north, while on my map they are at roughly the same latitude. How can both of these be possible?

First, let's diagnose the issue physically:

The pointer is incidental. Their comment is pointing out that globe's are necessarily 3D spheres so (assuming it's not a one-liner joke) OP's post wouldn't be consistent with "members all around" a flat circular model of Earth.

I know, I just find two sentence posts with arrow indicators more than a little unnecessary. So I playfully misunderstood

I'm pretty sure they were taking the piss out of flat earthers by pretending to be one of them.

I'm in Australia, near the southern ice wall!

Wait! Unless I'm meant to be doing the 'living in a giant tube thing' again.

Even the reply is unnecessary, let alone the arrow in the screenshot.

You know I actually find it rather interesting that you can see the age of an digital image. Even though its just bits and bytes.
