I have one. Change this. Get a globe!

I had a jigsaw one, then my nephew smashed it and I couldn't find four pieces

The last time I had a globe was probably about 20 years ago, and I don't recall ever seeing one in a store. Was expecting to see it cost $20 or so... shocking how far inflation has come!

My compliments to the onboarding training for the drop-in tutoring center I worked in during university years. Provided ideas that bloomed into useful systems later. Good piece of the skill-stack.

I just saw a Lego globe I'd like to have, but I can't bring myself to pay $230 for it.

That's because the earth is flat

As neat as globes are there is a risk they could no longer be accurate. I feel sorry for anyone who got a nice globe in the ‘90s. Things were changing so quickly that the Where in The World is Carmen Sandiego game show had to put a disclaimer at the end saying that things may have changed since the show was filmed.

I love finding old maps in the wild and guessing when they were made by looking at which countries exist on them and in what form

by franeckibrigitt 1 week ago

Names of a Countries for a region aren't the most important part of a globe. Also the lesson that regions change boarders and names is also an important one.

Globes are cool since there is no distortion of the map...but it's not like when I was a kid where I looked at a globe to know where countries were. I just use google maps, and I can zoom into any street, see the street view, and even the menu for the restaurant I'm looking at. It's nothing short of incredible.

I have one in my room and look at them a decent bit online

That's what globes are for

Not since we learned that the Earth is flat. 🤷‍♂️

Try Cost Plus World Market, they usually have a few styles for sale in store.

I think globes are probably just as prevalent as they've ever been. It's just likely that you personally are not seeing them as much because you're not in elementary school anymore.

by Status_Discipline 1 week ago

Do schools still have them in classrooms? That's where I always saw them most.

I think a thousand + dollar globe as an art piece with a unique map is super cool. You can find some crazy cool ones on google

I see one every Wednesday and Thursday

Personally I've always wanted a Mars globe. Just so that I can casually mention it helping with homesickness then refuse to elaborate further.

Are you still in elementary school? Cuz that's where they are

I'm guessing it's just because tech is so readily available that we don't need a globe to actually reference geography, we all have one in our pocket. That being said, I love globes :) my first boyfriend was a huge history nerd and one year I went to an ancient antique shop (hoard) and got him a 90yr old globe with all this stuff on it I didn't understand for his bday. He LOVED IT. I hope he still has it.

That's cause the flat earth truth was finally discovered so they had to discontinue globes, duh.

by madisynoconnell 1 week ago

Go to an environment where you would see one…

Maybe it's because you're not in school anymore? That's the most common place to see them.
