The line was published by David Cooke in this YouTube video. It lies on a plane but is not quite a great circle (in practice, you'd be turning slightly) and good luck sailing over the Antarctic ice shelfs this decade.

It can get a few percent longer if sailing between Madagascar and the rest of Africa but Pakistan-Russia does not have the same ring to it, I guess.
Edit: source (German), they also show the longest land route (across Eurasia of course)
Not to mention, India's coastline is very much not straight on a local scale. You're bound to find a place where it turns perpendicular to the journey close to the theoretical starting point anyway.
around Antarctica in a straight line
No, that's not Earth's great circle, you'll be turning slightly. It only seems straight on most map projections because they want latitudes to be horizontal.
The other characters are quite perplexed about the idea of 3D, too, not just the stupid Homer. A scientist gives a brief lecture, similar to how scientists IRL introduce 4D.
Anyway, that answers the good old question "Is the gruesome cartoon Itchy & Scratchy photorealistic from the Simpson's POV?"
At first, I thought this was about the knife (forgot to put it down?) The video link helped.

There are way, way more "centipede monster girl" image results... DuckDuckGo/Google
Caterpillar girls are fine though.
In the Czech Republic, BILLA uses them and they respond to the RFID reader on my phone. It's a different kind though, most have black-white-red displays.
Can't wait for somebody to hack them, the displays are certainly neat. Especially if they manage to add it to an existing Home Automation network without extra hardware.
AFAIK, they use RFID now so they must be changed manually but maybe someday, they will devise a price-gouging scheme involving face detection and tracking people with security cameras.
"Here comes this lady that always buys four cans of dog food despite the last price increase! Let's notch it up it by another 20%!"
I KNOW IT'S BASICALLY A CIRCLE IN 3D SPACE. There is an exact amount of pedantry at play here, and you're going over.
