Fuck that scale bar though. The decimal separator makes it look like the human hair is 10cm thick.

Also - trailing zeros after the decimal serve no purpose but to define precision. With the resolution of the image, there’s no way the bar is precise to 1/100,000 of its width.

Sig Figs matter.

I saw that. I almost didn’t post this because of it. I used to work with a lot of maps, so something like that makes the lizard part of my brain rage.
