Probably the thing I miss most about reddit is being able to easily find and laugh at these kinds of exchanges.
Too much sanity on lemmy... I miss the conspiracy subs.
Go to most of the political subs on lemmy and you'll find plenty of brain dead takes
The !flatearth@lemmy.ml community has some unironic (I think) posts in there if you scroll a few posts down.
One of my kids calls water fountains water mountains.. I assume from just mishearing the word. The first time he said it I went to correct him and then I'm like it does look like a water mountain so fuck it we'll go with that. Now the whole family only refers to them us water mountains.
And oddly there is another misheard word another of my kids used that we've all adopted, this kid said his tshirt was skin side out instead of inside out. Again I went to correct him and thought no he is right too, so now clothes are skin side out or skin side in.
I also have a few of these. My favourite daughter when she was a toddler she used to call road trains "Big DIE!".

Oops, I really messed up that sentence. Well, she is my favourite anyway 😁
My family has one of those. Our oldest would say hanitizer instead of hand sanitizer. We started correcting him but eventually realized that it's more efficient and everyone knows what he's talking about. I actually use it outside the family too. No issues, only chuckles when I explain the story.
You mean a wave?
They're talking about the horizon.
have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you'll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.
Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.
When a ship gets far away and you only see the top half, it's behind a flat Earth water mountain.
What's he not getting?
These people are so dumb, they aren’t “water mountains”, they are Lands with the subtypes Island and Mountain, meaning they can tap for blue or red mana.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Just run to the edge then.
They'd just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard..
Seriously, do you even do your own research?
You mean if he ever gets past security.
America doesn't have the resources to watch effectively the border with Mexico, but they can guard the full earth "circumference"... AAAAND keep everyone quiet about it.
the existence of water mountains implies the existence of forest, fire, shadow and spirit mountains
aren't the four elements water, fire, earth and air?
Actually they are mountain, island, forest, plains, and swamp
Elements+
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SHIP DISAPPEAR ?
WATER MOUNTAINS
....waves?
I think it's their counter-argument to:
"If earth is really flat, why do ships disappear behind the oceans horizon?"
"Water mountains"
Earth curvature
Ok i'm convinced
Water mountains sound so fun that I'll choose to believe in them. Also ball eath but in combination with water mountains
We do have water volcanoes at least. Someone just named them geysers. Tho I'm fairly sure that vulcanic activity disproves flat earth.
This is an image of power towers gradually getting shorter and shorter because they have to squeeze into the water tunnel that runs through the water mountain.
The Turtle Moves!
I know it's really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by "gerwin" screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.
There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn't appear to be one of them.
(Googling for "water mountain" just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)
every day I feel ashamed about the fact that I have to live on the same planet (sorry, I mean pancake) with these people
