Not a meme, it's  a picture I took today. But I couldn't figure out where else to put this!

I'm no flat head, but wouldn't it be a farther distance to travel an arc around the surface than to tunnel straight through the earth? Or what am I missing here?

The flat map, that you're probably used to seeing, is a terrible projection. The map itself is curved, because they tried to flatted a sphere into a rectangle. Peel an orange and try to do that with the rhind. 
 

The curved flight path in the image above is, in reality, a straight line. It curves with the curvature of the earth, but that is it. 
 

Look at it on a globe, bonus points if you use some string, and you'll understand.
