I roughly know how world maps were created, but detailed local maps of towns and forest’s are something I find interesting. What methods were used to scale down in world, to paper distances?

    Please step down from your high horse.

    “Before tech” and “great granddaddy” and “local Trader Joe’s” are 3 different time periods. Sure they could’ve just chosen one, but it might not be what OP was curious about.

    An individual who’s curious enough to ask the question would probably be curious enough to further drill down to a specific time period that they’re curious about. This could have led into good discussion.

    If you want something that just tells you an answer and doesn’t question you or ask you to clarify, then you can use an LLM. If you want conversation, you can use Lemmy.

      My brother in christ, maybe asking a broad question shows his lack of knowledge…yk what helps to create new knowledge as a noob? Asking fucking questions and having people teach you, you twat.

          Okay i understand what you mean, when I said that I meant it in a way, their question isnt broad in a negative way, it’s broad in a very normal question type of way, so you can’t blame him for asking a normal question, it may be broad to an expert, but if he was an expert he would be answering, not asking.
