I appreciate your economic approach to buying ice cream. For many, "ice cream is ice cream". However, as in cars, computers, cameras, and most items, there are huge differences in the quality of similar products. For sure, "ice cream is not ice cream".

The title is borrowed from a book by Alexander Cordell, written in 1959. Mr. Cordell probably had only an inkling of what was to come.

Earth equatorial bulge is about 43 kilometers (27 miles). The equatorial bulge means that people standing at sea level near the poles are closer to the center of Earth than people standing at sea level near the Equator.Dec 1, 2022

Is the Earth the thickest around the equator?
Yes, if āthicknessā is interpreted as the radius or diameter of the Earth.
The diameter of the Earth at the poles is 12714 km or 7900 miles.
At the equator itās 12,756 km or 7926 miles.
This is due to the spinning of the Earth, which is faster at the equator than the poles, and causes the Earth to not be a true sphere but an āoblate spheroidā. Itās faster at the equator for the same reason that a merry-go-round is faster at the edge than toward its center.
What is the Diameter of Earth?
I once had to write code for satellite sims that corrected for the oblateness of the Earth at varying latitudes. Satellites may have to know this sort of thing so they can know exactly how far they are off the ground, which will vary in a non-equatorial orbit.
A LITTLE RESEARCH HELPS!

I have a bunch of friends who, like me, have fallen in love with the mountain named El Chimborazo. It's the tallest mountain in the world and is an extinct volcano. One year I climbed up on it. I was by myself, so I didn't care go as far as I would have liked.

I used to take an early morning walk in Wimberley TX where I was followed by a group of deer.
I would lie down on the path and wait for them to approach to closer examine me
great sport

At the end of November last year, I tried out a Sony E15, f/1.4G lens as a wide angle addition to my kit. In the end, because the E format did not give me the full 15mm spread when shooting full frame, I returned it.
