My bulge is embarrassing

Fun fact: If you measure from the center of the planet, Mt. Everest is not the tallest thing on Earth. During it’s new baby phase, the Earth was spinning and the force created a little bulge at the equator.

Kind of like pizza did to me. Heyo!

Anyhow, the equatorial bulge is farther from earth’s center than the top of Everest.
