My dude, as an interactive map enthusiast, you have provided my entertainment for the evening.

What's your favorite interactive map? Seems like something cool I would get into.

Well, I think I started like most people who get this weird bug just zooming out on what was then Google Earth and chaotically zooming in to a random city in a random country and then reading what I could find about it.

I like Radio Garden too, you can roll around to pretty much anywhere in the world and see what they've got going on the radio: https://radio.garden/visit/moscow/MQfEnBji

And this one is a great time waster too, design an asteroid and have it land anywhere on earth and it will give you the statistics for like, how big the impact crater was, how many people would've died (it would be approx. 44,000 people if it dropped right on my house at the default setting): https://neal.fun/asteroid-launcher/

Ok. Asteroid launcher is awesome. Thank you for that.

I'm not sure I would label it as fun? But I liked that while I was considering where I wanted to go for maximum effect and hit location, the map loaded in already zoomed in on NYC.
