    Because going in that route would make it touch land which in the twitter post it says straight line without touching land

      I’ve always thought Australia was a trouble maker.

      What land would it touch?

        Alaska, Canada, Russia, a few on the -stans.

        This is the longest straight-line all-water route on earth.

        India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.

          For some reason I don’t think this is true.

          A straight line connecting two things does not necessarily have to connect to said things perpendicular to their border.

            Not to mention, India’s coastline is very much not straight on a local scale. You’re bound to find a place where it turns perpendicular to the journey close to the theoretical starting point anyway.
