            "I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,” says the Lord God. “I am the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come—the Almighty One.”

            And lo, the Albertan farmer said, “we have farms in Alberta bigger than that.”

      The diagram is dogshit though. Why present perimeter when talking about square area? But yeah, the AB guy is saying that there’s a farm that stretches from Lethbridge to Winnipeg wide, and again that distance high. No.

        Because he’s using a map tool that allows you to draw out a perimeter then calculate both the area contained in that perimeter, and then the actual perimeter itself. Both values are given at the same time like in this image. Here is one such tool that gives you both the area and perimeter at the same time: https://www.mapdevelopers.com/area_finder.php

        Why present perimeter when talking about square area?

        Because the dumbass made the claim that there are farms that are 1500 km * 1500 km, and the square perimeter lets you illustrate what 1500 km looks like relative to Alberta?

    Smartest and most grass-touching climate change denier.

    How often can you go outside if you’re over 60 and spend most of your waking life on facebook and twitter bitching about plastic dolls, pride month, black mermaids and “evil transgenders!!!”?

      Well no, it’s millions of km², so 2.5M(km)² would actually be 2.5(Mm)² (if my calculations are right)

    But he is basically right about the numbers, so with this much effort put into his message I hardly think he wasn’t being cynical.
