The headquarters of the sudanese navy building is shaped like a ship. The air force headquarters is shaped like a plane (lemmy.world)

I couldn't find the Sudanese marine corps headquarters but it's probably shaped like a crayon.

Eew what kinda weird link is that. It doesnt wanna open maps in the browser and tries to force you to open it in the google maps app instead. So i literally cant look at what u posted at all.

Yeah it, does but from there it tells you to "open in app" but i havent had any google shit on my phone for years. And its not using the standardized geo format so it wont open in other map apps.

Dark pattern - hit open, hit cancel if you do have GMaps installed, then redirects to the web version.

The shorter URL is ~~easier to track users with~~ shorter for UX reasons.
