For a casual version it is much easier to quickly do the Northern hemisphere showing an antipoded Southern Hemisphere- if you show Europe and Africa as an antipode, you hit all the jumping from +180 to -180 problems NZ has with maps with the Chatham Islands (which are beyond my lunchbreak to fix)
This was still really cool. I never clicked that South America and Asia were antipodal. Also it's funny seeing Australia floating alone in the Atlantic lol.
when I moved from North Carolina to Perth, I noticed that was the closest antipodal city
I was thinking the original one had NZ way too far east 😅
Yup. Hence the "I think...." The issue I had was I was checking different points and they all conflicted with each other. As the flip was not figured into it. Mistakes on the internet are always popular.
Posting it online anyway was a good idea, we got to figure it out together. And in a rare online event, nobody was rude or called anyone names lol.
I called myself a name in my head.
If it's any consolation, some years ago I, a self described expert data generalist, wondered why there were 10% fewer road deaths in February and it was gently pointed out there were 10% fewer days in February. Having a community that will correct mistakes and not be mean about it is very valuable
I very publicly mixed up the perimeter of a polygon with its area and had to do a full withdraw 🥲
Interestingly, the antipodes of most land masses are oceans
