europe really likes their sister cities
Rocket launches in nuclear war
Pretty cool, but this is too cluttered to get some sort of tangible information out it (aside from seeing which continets are the most sisterly with each other). I would love to see the results of having some clustering algorithms applied to it.
What does “sistering” cities achieve?
As pointless and cringe as sister cities are…god damn rest of Europe getting in the way so I cant see where all the UK ones go…
That’s what you call a “hairball.”
Any particular reason why Jeddah is highlighted?
