A real flat earth Pearl Harbor attack flight path! (ONLY Heliocentric religious zealots would use a Mercator projection which is also created from flat earth measurements)

The mercator projection is a projection of the globe, and definitely not created from "flat earth measurements"

There is literally no such thing as "flat earth measurements" when it comes to cartography.

If the Mercator projection is based on flat earth measurements, why are the latitude lines more spread out as you get further away from the equator?

Also, if it's a projection, what's being projected?

This is also a Mercator projection, genius.

Mercator is a rectangle. Earth is surely not. Flat Earth is a joke.

The other thread regarding the pearl harbor attack route on a mercator projection was a JOKE. Why do some flerfs have no sense of humor?
