This is fake, the elephants and the turtle are missing.

[-] Codpiece@feddit.uk 11 points 1 month ago

And the university tower.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 60 points 1 month ago

I call fake, many images have shown the world is not a perfect circle but more of a rectangle, example:

Map of the earth

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Apparently Antarctica is a hoax, too!

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

Hell, I've never been to Cleveland, and anyone who says they have is obviously a paid shill.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago

What are you talking about, don't you see all that white (or black in dark mode) space surrounding the rectangle?

[-] SoleInvictus 5 points 1 month ago

DO NOT deny the great ice wall!

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

But New Zealand is real?

Yeah, I don't buy it

[-] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 3 points 1 month ago

I'm sort of happy if we get forgotten about in the current world.

[-] kurwa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I wonder if flat earthers exist because of maps being 2D. Flat earthers were neglected children who never saw a globe.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

All more proof that the Earth is a cylinder.

[-] huppakee@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

The only thing 3d about earth are the dents in thd crust buddy, don't be silly

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm pretty sure the trees around here have non-zero volume.

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Naw, spherical plants on a frictionless surface.

[-] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Your mom is a cylinder.

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That was my first thought before the OP's image loaded lol. I love this show

[-] anytimesoon@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Ive never seen it. What's our called?

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Smiling Friends

[-] Bwaz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Where's the 5 elephants? And the turtle?

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 12 points 1 month ago

Fake, there's no land at the edge.

Its a big waterfall and the elephants beneath snort it up their noses and squirt it back up top so that it falls as rain.

[-] ttyybb@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Shouldn't the moon be rotated ~90°

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 10 points 1 month ago

Whoaa, who tf said moon was flatt??
Theories should have their limit.

Best wishes to MoonMoon.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Moon? Doesn't exist. That's a made up thing.

[-] rem26_art@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

I'd at least expect the moon to be just a 2D image that's rigged to always face you, no matter what angle you look at it from. Like the trees in Super Mario 64

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 1 month ago

That's why the Moon wobbles (libration), it's always adjusting its direction to look round.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago

Obviously fake. It's flat earth, not flat moon!

Also, because we experience gravity, we know there must be a giant thruster on the underside of the earth. I know people love the elegant simplicity of a giant earth coin floating in space but it just doesn't stand up to basic scrutiny.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

That's not how gravity works. It works because the turtle wills it

I have no patience for single-turtle hypothesists. What would it even push against? It doesn't make sense. Now, if it were an infinite stack of turtles, each pushing against each other an infinitesimal amount, it could generate a constant 9.8m/s^2, so I don't think we can rule out the many-turtles hypothesis. But I still think the simplest explanation is the most likely, and that is a giant rocket booster.

Unless... a single turtle had four rocket boosters instead of flippers... that could work. Hold on, I need to diagram this out with some red yarn.

[-] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

The turtle is omnipotent and omniscient so therefore he can simply will it to be. He has no need of man's rockets or the thoughts of men doubting him.

[-] starik@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

Funny image, but this was clearly made by a globularist. No self-respecting flat earther believes in outer space. Earth is either incased in a dome with celestial objects on or inside the dome, or it is an infinite plane that the powers that be don’t want you exploring beyond the ice wall.

[-] EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't believe that there are self-respecting flat earthers

[-] dbx12@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Forbidden cookie

[-] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 1 month ago

so, uhh, in flat earth theory, what exactly is underneath the earth? Where does the water go in the ocean? is there some kind of glass wall holding the water on top of the earth? JFC, people are fucking stupid.

[-] FatVegan@leminal.space 2 points 1 month ago

The interesting thing about flat earthers is that you can throw 10 of them in a room and they are most likely to not agree with one another. The "crazier" ones believe that we fly through space on a disk that is held up by 4 elephants on a giant turtle. The more "normal" ones believe it's a huge dome/soundstage. It varies from dome to ice wall and so on. At the end of the day, nothing makes sense at all, but to them, neither does a globe.

[-] stylusmobilus@aussie.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Seriously, stop asking questions or the national survey will visit you.

It’s flat. Do not question.

[-] UnimportantHuman@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

they argue there's an ice wall around the earth

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Long time Lemmy users: Neat!

New people from reddit: Oh god, why?

Underneath the disc, gotta keep 'em stored in a dark cool place for preservation.

[-] Slovene85@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

The universe is a giant game of carrom.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What is the flat earth theory on orbits. How do they explain satellites staying up? Or do they think satellites are fake?
