It's easy to check in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_bulge:

The planet Earth has a rather slight equatorial bulge; its equatorial diameter is about 43 km (27 mi) greater than its polar diameter, with a difference of about 1⁄298 of the equatorial diameter.

It's not something so outwordly small that people couldn't do better, but it's better than bearing balls or a spherographic pen tip. It's way, way smaller than any deformation you will find in a game ball.

I have to say, mirroring that image improved it greatly.

Many people on lemmy has some ideology that either consider others insufferable, or is considered insufferable by most people.

Unless you go in an advanced metrology laboratory, or look at Jupiter with a telescope, it's the most spherical object you will ever see.

Yes, rust spreads.

Rust mechanically destroys the protection the surrounding metal has against rust. Once the protection is gone, the actual rusting is quite fast.

That is, if you have a surface like the one on your photo. If you have a single material, then no, rust doesn't spread.

Oh, peace will last for long enough for Russia to get new weapons.

That "most likely no one is bothered" part is correct, though.

I dunno about French, but machines are usually female.

At this point, "realistic" is a meaningless word.
