Useless Projection #6: The Asymmetric Monstrosity. A combination of the sinusoidal, Mollweide, Equal Earth, and cylindrical equal-area projections. It's all equal-area*, so it's suitable for the classroom.
(I now have a goal for this year: make an elaborate wall map in this projection).
*I actually probably got the scaling wrong on the cylindrical equal-area part, but I'll work on that for the next draft, when I make the "real" map
