Why am I getting Snoop Dog vibes from the robed figure shooting guns in the image… 🤔

How do you aim for China and land in Wisconsin?
Nicolet is noted for being the first European to explore Lake Michigan. In 1634 he became the first European to explore what would become Wisconsin. Jean Nicolet landed at Red Banks, near modern-day Green Bay, Wisconsin, in search of a passage to the Orient.[5] He and other French explorers had learned from their native contacts that the people who lived along these shores were called Ho-Chunk, which some French mistakenly translated as “People of the Sea”.[6] In the Ho Chunk language, it means people of the big voice, because they believe their language was the original language of their family of tribal languages. However, the Ojibwe had a less appealing name for them, Winnebago, or “people of the fragrant waters,” translated to French as, Puants or Puans. This exonym was derogatory, however, not knowing that, Nicolet concluded that the people must be from or near the Pacific Ocean and would provide a direct contact with China.[7]
“I’m going to sail around the left side of the planet until I reach the right-most country we know about.”
“What if there’s somewhere elee between them?”
“Bah! Like that could happen!”
By knowing so much about world geography that you know Earth is a globe and going one direction long enough will take you right back to where you started, but knowing so little that you can’t imagine an entire other continent between here and there.
And an ocean so big that when you look at a globe with the Pacific Ocean facing you, the Earth looks like an ocean planet.
Never knew this but yeah, you can get this view in the maps app. That might be my favorite way to think of earth now

I wonder how the actual Chinese would have responded to that display
Probably something like
死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑死刑
Probably would’ve returned fire. They invented gunpowder.
That’s some wizard energy right there.
