So, the Earth is still round then, in this model
somethingcoolandmemeworthy

Silly flat earthers. They can't prove it's flat so they resort to a massive ball with a bunch of flat Earth lmao
AngrySpaceStarfish
Not gonna lie this is kinda cool to think about. But extremely stupid to believe in.
Kontrollpunk
Wait so the earth isnt a globe? But its a plate sitting on an ice globe?

All flatearther around the globe celebrate this new development

Screw you all, I'm going back to Scientology.
Reinette
This would make a decent Sci fi novel if done in the right way.
TheStormFury
So the idea of it being hollow is to account for gravity, right? That model would have roughly the gravity of Saturn if it wasn’t hollow.

"possibly hollow"
saintxjustice
Pfft, I can't believe people still think the Earth is real
SephiRothIRA
Elon Musk is a Fake Earther, right? Believes we are in a simulation, I think. He doesn’t get labeled as weird bc he builds cool shit.
LeSethX
Elom Musk doesn't believe in Earth, only Mars
I quote Arnold: Get in da choppa! Get your ass to Mars. Unfortunately, from two different movies.

The earth is transgender

So it's still not a flat earth, just a greatly larger sphere? Ugh

I always laugh at this. Then I realize there are real people out there that believe this

Sometimes you can just smell the 4chan retardry and that's when it hits you. This'll be huge. It'll last for years. People will get hurt.
LoPan
Did they start the flat earth nonsense?
Nanoline
No, they didn't. I'm honestly not sure why 4chan is being mentioned at all, they make fun of those dumb fuckers just as much if not more.
FailedCrate
Seriously, that's what I thought. Aay, 4chan screwing some idiots again with some made up conspiracy theory? Pro trolling material.

This would be a cool setting for a book.

Bullshit. Everyone knows the Earth is concave.

Kinda a cool concept for a DnD world?

I'm having a real hard time placing what I'm reading in wiki pages to what's in my head from the series. Something's not right. xD
So, to expand on that link, the world has been split. One of the realms is inside out. People live in the inside of the outer crust.
ONE of the planets is like this, I KNOW it is, I clearly REMEMBER this. http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hollow_Earth.jpg
The character is gazing at the star sky, and later finds out the lights are just citadels on the other side of the planet, there is no sky.

Not true yes, but wouldn't it be cool if it was

Yes - because it's a vast ball of ice!

A good premise for a book maybe. But let’s not entertain the idea it could happen, lest some idiot starts believing it.

The sad reality is that there are those who believe in this “joke”
Yes theres a lot of idiots who actually believe this isnt a joke and that people really believe in it
TeeMee123
how can the ice ball be spherical but not earth in their minds?
svcAlex
That's the best part. We don't believe the earth is spherical, so we put our close to flat earth on a super large sphere
denigreur
because their own existence is so shitty and they can't cope with the fact they're not special, so they invent shit to see themselve as woke
paul289
Yeah, people wanna stand out, and Secret Knowledge is a shortcut way to that. Doesn't matter if it's true, especially if it's "secret."
FoxySpirit
Because the ball is very large and earth very small so the curvature would be minimal.
moonshadow23
and how are there only 'puddles' of worlds/earths
graou13
because tiny sun-moons are geocentric, duh
oh
ThinkingOfOneTakesTooLong
Someone should argue this theory seriously with a flat earther and see their response. Problem is some dumbass would start believing it too
lawideas
You do know that about 100% of "flat earthers" are just trolls, right?
d0o0o0d
Accepting the iceball is a step towards accepting the sphere.
DimzD
There’s like two groups. One believes in the dome and the other believes that there is more land beyond the ice.

You should keep such closed minded comments to yourself. The earth is flat. That’s that.

You can disprove flat earth theory by going outside and using your eyes.
reverendbonobo
You don't think the aliens controlling the simulation could just project that onto the sky dome? Please.
This only proves that the government is really really good at rotating the giant LED display above our heads!
TGWeaver
This is an actual flat earther theory though.
RedDwarfIV
... but it would still be round, just bigger?
Correct, however this is about the world as we know it being flat (although even then it would be curved as it's part of a sphere's surface)
Exactly, it makes no sense.
PanicAtTheCostco
The area we call "earth" is flat. According to them anyway. Like a continent instead of a planet or something. Technically it'd still curve.
Like this?
No, I mean like literally how continents work on earth. Except to flat earthers earth is a continent like North America on a big ball of ice
