All countries are in a straight line. If you make it wide enough.
Or long enough, as it's on a spheroid.
Or use the proper projection.
Yeah, like the Euler Projection.
Oh wow! All countries are in the same line!!!
lol, accurate but a bit difficult to see a lot of continuity.
The linked latitude longitude graph looked like it was all in a pretty straight lines though.
It's actually a curved line
Or if you use a suitable projection. I'm pretty sure you can pick some really wild projection and make it work with another letter too.

While true, this line is pretty narrow considering it is only showing one hemisphere.
over on the non-federated link aggregation site, posts like this would be in /r/mapporncirclejerk, not the main map sub :/
