Haven't actually heard no. 2 before, that's pretty cool
Normally these types of threads just recycle commonly known internet facts so that was a nice touch.
unless of course this is a well known fact that I've been ignorant of

This is because the world is round and even if you flatten it out you will
end up on the other side of the map once you hit the edge of the eastern side of the map.
You will still be going east. If you are going east and go halfway around the world.
You keep walking and you are still going east. If you keep walking another
halfway you go all the way around the world and are still going east.
Take a round ball. Now create imaginary dots that hover on the sides of the ball.
One is on the left, which is east, and the other is on the right which is west.
Have the dots follow the ball when it spins. Now take your finger and place
it in the center of these two dots on the ball. Now move your finger towards
east while spinning the ball. It never goes west only east. Its hard to imagine
it on a real ball so do it in your head if you want.
