Found a viral map showing flight paths that looked too clean
I saw that map of all the flight paths in the US that claims to show 153,000 routes. Looked like someone drew lines with a ruler. When I checked the original source, it was a 10 year old simulation from a college project, not real flight data. Anyone else spot that thing spread across Facebook?

Oh man, I've been there too... spent like two hours the other day going down a rabbit hole on some "ancient astronaut map" that turned out to be a photoshop from a video game forum. It's wild how fast stuff like that takes off before anyone bothers to check. That flight path map got me too until I realized it was just a pretty picture with no real data behind it. I swear half the time I fact check things I end up more confused than when I started.
