It is the actual shape of the earth, it shows the imperfections from a perfect sphere dramatically increased in scale to make them obvious. The planet is a very smooth ball all things considered, shrunk down to the size of a sportsball it'd be much, much smoother and a more perfect sphere than a basketball or whatever.

OP's image looks like a pear if you count the kind of pear they immediately chop up and can in some juice so you don't have to look at it and feel sad for the deformed pear.

But OP's image is shrunk down even smaller than most sportsballs and it still looks pretty wonky and if its not to actual scale but rather is exaggerated for effect, then it isn't the actual shape.

They do. That's why they squint so much.
