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.

[–] Tbird83ii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.

[–] bermuda 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

what do prairie people think about

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I dunno. Grass ‘n shit. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] bermuda 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"grass sure is grassy today"

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

It sure is there bud. Think the rain’ll help it grow?

"Are the mountains flat?"

[–] MrSqueezles@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

I should watch this again. Great movie.

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

[–] shnurr@fludiblu.xyz 64 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just run to the edge then.

[–] alternative_factor@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] kurogane@lm.helilot.com 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd play the hell out of this videogame.

🤔 Isn't that basically Hellblade?

[–] WtfEvenIsExistence@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago

Well I got good news for you. This isn't a planet. It's a giant rug thats's floating in space propelled by genie's dark matter astro-projection that moves us at 9.8 meters/sec² and our world was created by an entity named God who's 3 wishes to the genie was 1. to create this magnificient space rug to house 2. the people that will be ~~spawned~~ created on this wonderful place and will 3. forever worship God and his Magnificient Space Rug and that non-believers will have to suffer their entire life believing in the Round-Earth Conspiracy.

Thank God™ for helping us realize the truth. 🤓

You must mean Plainit fellow pancake earthier?

[–] rob64@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

You must mean plane-et.

Flat Earth? Fucking idiots. The Earth is obviously a Giant Magical Space Rug propelled by Genie's Dark Matter Astro-Projection ~~moving~~ teleporting at 9.8 m/s² 🤓

[–] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.

[–] peto@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

This has been disproved. We live on a globe in an experimental non-magical universe kept at a university run by wizards who live on a disc held up by four elephants on the book of the Great Atuin.

[–] r3nder 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually there were five elephants, but one lost its footing, entered an unstable orbit and came hurtling through space, smashing into the Disc and causing the mountains to rise.

[–] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Crap, I have to reread the series now and appreciate "The Fifth Elephant." Didn't that elephant also cause huge crystalized fat deposits to happen deep in the disc?

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm a firm believer in toroidal earth.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 year ago

And rugs are, of course, famously not flat at all.

[–] SwampYankee@mander.xyz 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SHIP DISAPPEAR ?

WATER MOUNTAINS

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

Water mountains sound so fun that I'll choose to believe in them. Also ball eath but in combination with water mountains

[–] ox0r@jlai.lu 16 points 1 year ago

Ok i'm convinced

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

We do have water volcanoes at least. Someone just named them geysers. Tho I'm fairly sure that vulcanic activity disproves flat earth.

[–] teuast@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

thanks, that's my band name now

Bro, shut up, you're making us look like a bunch of round earthers.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Damn my English is so bad, I thought they are talking about swim accessories.

The Turtle Moves!

[–] Jordan_U@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.)

[–] nickiam2@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I'm stealing that word now "scteenshat" works well in this context

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

every day I feel ashamed about the fact that I have to live on the same planet (sorry, I mean pancake) with these people

[–] spiphy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't it actually be water valleys? If you are standing on the shore and watched a boat go up a water mountain at the horizon it would stay visible, there would have to be a valley for the boat to disappear.
