Turn satellite imagery into a paper globe you fold yourself

Icosahedron is the classic? I have never ever seen an icosahedron globe in my life, neither real or digital. What in the world happened in the brain or artificial neural network when that title was picked for an icosahedron “globe”?

The icons for the different shapes don’t really make a lot of sense. It’s not really obvious how some of them work and many are quite unlike the actual pattern (which you have to scroll down to see on mobile).

Also Cahill–Keyes M, which I’ve never heard of or seen before, is described as “the classic M”. That’s not really helpful.
