This is probably what it felt like to the first explorers trying to cross either pole.
So you’re saying it’s a sphere…
Wiffleball Earth Therory
Why a sphere? Why not a torus?
We could use a lady of pain around here…
Don’t be silly, it’s Turtles all the way down, not bulls
It’s the “possibly hollow” for me
I love that the sun supposedly melts a spot, but helpfully leaves the arctic ice sheet in the center.
Because the sun rotates around that part, duh
I also love that this version of flat earth theory is perfectly okay with our living on the surface of a huge spherical object floating in space.
I guess this is mocking flat earthers. Not a real claim they make.
So many hoops to jump through only to theorize that we are in fact on a spheroid planet…
The sphere is so big that it will appear as flat for any purpose you can think of.
Oh, wait…
They’ve come around in the end, it seems
🥁🐍
There’s obviously a gigantic magnifying glass between the Sun an Earth!
Because the sun likes cold drinks
That’s where Santa Claus lives. It’s pretty obvious that he uses his magic to make the snow and ice so that every day is Christmas.
Flat earth would be so cool if it was just sci-fantasy authors and not weird, return to christandom, anti-modernity types.
So, the Discworld. Yes, it is very cool.
They really do ruin everything
Even old Christians knew the earth was a sphere. The “Catholics believe the earth is flat” was something said by someone AGAINST Catholics, not because it was true.
The return to christandom thing is just something they say, it’s not exactly true.
There’s some really amazing world building that’s been done with flat-earth art as a springboard
Can’t remember the name, but there’s one with concentric circles separated by ice walls with landmasses named after different mythologies’ deities. There’s a whole community built around writing lore for each landmass

Michael Marshall Smith does this theme, only different.
Hollow earth theory was also a thing.
Why would the very center of the melted puddle also be just as cold and frozen as the edges?
The Sun orbits around the center, but its hottest side always faces away. That’s why seasons happen
Shhhh honey, we don’t use logic here. Just let it happen.
i love it, i’m in
If this is true, then why does my wife want to leave me for Devin from her work?
Flat Devin theory. How much is a bulldozer?
He has a big dick.
Devin knows the truth.
…This is just Mistborn.
Or Disco Elysium for the multiple earths option.
Wait what? What did mistborn have that was like this? My memory of era 1 is a little foggy and I assume that’s when you’re talking about
Haha foggy
IIRC, the habitable region of Era 1 was essentially a radius around the north pole.
Oh I don’t remember that detail, thanks. For some reason I thought the ashmounts were at the equator and everybody was clustered around those - I might need a reread just to brush up on the world building lol
gonna tell my children that this was the snowball earth hypothesis
so were just a bunch of apes duking it out on a giant disco ball essentially…
