“Where are the lumpy earthers?”
I used to be a lumpy earther then I moved to the plains and found lumpy earth to be false.
Questions on this flat earth thing. Yes too lazy to research the subject, but if anyone knows, do people live on the bottom side of the flat earth? Or is all that space wasted and gravity only works on the top surface? And if there are people on the bottom side, how do we know if thats us or not? How thick is the flat earth, obviously as deep as the oceans I’d assume?
Has to be a fake! Where are the Elephants, and the Turtle?
Columbus originally had 4 ships . . One fell off the edge!
“Despite early claims that a worldwide shared resource of knowledge such as the internet would create peace, harmony, and a common interpretation of reality (this idea comes from as far back as HG Well’s “world brain” essays in 1936), it appears that quite the opposite has happened. With the increased voice afforded by social media, knowledge has been increasingly decentralized, and competing narratives have emerged.”
Wells was wrong.
Douglas Adams was right. When?
“Meanwhile the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different cultures and races, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.”
Realize that this is all about people being able to communicate easier. Knowledge and communication go hand in hand.
So here we all have been proverbially dumped onto a proverbial Shipwreck Island and to our credit half of us aren’t dead and it’s been much longer than 6 weeks. But I don’t expect much harmony to result.
You’ll notice the Earth is tilted, they’re underneath on the other side.
what I learned from the flat earthers is...Columbus had 4 ships. No one knows the name of the 4th cause it sailed over the edge.
.
Where is all the ocean water that flows over the edge going, and from whence are we getting more?
.
No. I have it on good source that he was on the edge of an island and drowned when it tipped over.
So you think the earth is flat?
And how much of this is bolstered by importing people with lower IQs and education levels than the native population?

Short answer is: yes.
I heard one of its charter members (Alden Nowlan?) a long time ago on CBC radio. He was terrific. He was not, however, serious.
Good one - those made me laugh.
Dummy. Gravity causes you to fall. If you under you would have to hang on.
Even where it appears flat it is actually lumpy.
