The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there’d be a door or something.
You mean you haven’t found the door yet?
Yeah! Prove to us that there is no door!

They legit believe that the great Antarctic ice wall is constantly being patrolled to not let anyone find out about the flatness. But for some reason, the US-Mexico border is still doable for millions of people. 🙃
E: Spoiler, the cruise never happened. I wonder why. 😂
Now I want an Westeros style wall of ice please.
The thing that always gets me about these theories:
Okay, it’s revealed the Earth is flat and all of our modern science is a coverup. How does this affect me in my day to day life? I still have to go to work tomorrow.
Not if you work in one of the many, many fields of science and engineering “involved in the coverup”.
All those millions of conspirators who somehow managed to keep a huge secret across borders, time and ideologies. Even between sworn enemies humanity united on this one secret.
Nuh uh.
I watched the Truman Show, too. What they don’t show is when he leaves one sim, he exits into the adjacent flat surface.
Isn’t that the plot of Saints Row 4?
Plus some tongue from a robotic probe, yeah.
Kinda?
You’ve actually never walked a step in your entire life. Only, the memory of having just completed the final step of walking to your current position is injected into your mind and continuously updated. This avoids the need for an infinitely large flat surface.
When you move, you actually stay in the same coords (0,0,0) and the world is moved around, avoid bugs with lost precision at large values. Twinkling stars? Glitches in the rendering of far away objects
When you move, you actually stay in the same coords (0,0)
The Earth is flat FTFY
I think flat earth ideas are fascinating. Guess I’m a bit nuts but I enjoy reading how they explain things. :)
I don’t think they are more dumb than anyone else. If you ask someone random to explain how gravity keeps the water on the surface, they can’t of course. Everyone goes to a web page and looks it up.
So I enjoy reading it. It’s just fun and interesting.
It’s like catching a little kid in a lie and they just keep on making up more and more hilarious crap to cover the initial lie. Each lie builds on itself requiring a bigger, more ridiculous lie to cover it up and before you know it, you went from who ate the missing yogurt to now the sky is a glass dome, the sun is a giant flashlight that the government turns on and off and the moon only glows because of magical glow worms that live on its surface
Haha yeah I can see how it’s similar, specially if you have never read about it yourself and someone says “we actually live under a dome”, which means everything must be explained another way, since there is no space, no satellites, nothing. :)
