Flat Earthers, are you serious? 🗺️🗺️🗺️🗺️🗺️
So, you mean to tell me that with all of the real images and real videos, and even real livestreams that show the round Earth, you all still think that the Earth is flat? I mean, are you serious?

The user "Alleged" sure thinks the earth is flat. I have screenshots of his convo.
The Earth is also not round, it is an oblate spheroid.
Its true, one time I dug a hole so deep I fell through the earth and ended up falling towards space.

Yes, thank you.

How big is the leveler, though?

So it’s still round :p

there's a whole thread about that topic

Oh, sorry, didn't dig through the pages of forum topic posts to see if there was an older thread already filled with responses.
*looks at world flirting with ww3.*
*Looks at rise of global authoritarianism.*
*Looks at incoming global economic collapse.*

"You know what the problem is around here? Everyone thinks the earth is round!!"

Even if the earth was flat, i couldnt care less lol

I don't really care what Earth "is". Ball, hollow / planets are all depleted stars / central red / black sun, flat with dome, flat with dome mapped onto secretly much larger sphere, simulation, collective dream space animated by our assumptions and imaginations. I use all of them. Sometimes I will think of the Earth revolving around the sun at 66,616 mph and the moon having a synodic month of 29.83 days, and I will track its azimuth, and so on. Other times its all fake and I have no basis to assess it on any level. I could space two lasers apart for moon distance and use reflection path time and spectroscopy to infer its distance and composition as well, but again this is built on various ontological and mechanistic assumptions I can't validate apply uniformly. Other times, the mind can basically be forced back into a pre-object permanence state. Nothing exists but what your mind and senses are causing to become reality. There's a sort of bubble around you and nothing exists over the horizon. Whether something exists when you turn around and are no longer looking at it is simply a matter of whether you keep it loaded in working memory, if you can forcibly deallocate it probably it pops out of existence. You can pop people and things into existence as well, by calling things unseen as though they were seen. This is dubbed the "law of reversibility". If a mechanical vibration can create a record of it, then a record can create a vibration. If a magnetic field can create an electric field, then an electric can make a magnetic. And if the two aspects appear together, they can also be separated. Hence the fixation of magnetic monopoles. Therefore if an experience sustained can create a state, then a state sustained can create an experience. So you will create and hold the state, and it will coallesce the experience imagined around it, because it is forced to. The universe is forced to obey symmetry and correspondence of this kind. Either it has no choice or it has a certain predilection to play along with you.

Interestingly if you remain in this state where you've sort of split object permanence off into a separate parallel process (ie you are aware of it, can conceive of it, but it somehow feels faint and distance, far away, hard to access directly) then reality starts to become unstable. Things that would never happen otherwise will begin happening with regularity. I also found it causes a sort of bliss by freeing you from various things, but also induces a sort of brain damage when it comes to spatial awareness and navigation. Since reality is a bubble around you, the brain doesn't bother to adjust the boundaries in realtime. Rather your brain will load its conception of a space and then move around within it. The chunking is not dynamic, it's fixed. So to remember paths, and figure out how to get between 2 places or navigate great distances, your minds starts feeling like spaghetti. You have to try to connect all the discrete bubbles together. I don't know why this is, you would imagine categorical thinking would remain intact regardless. Like even if a particular highway is stored as a bubble floating in a void, you still a tree of what connects to it, and should be able to just traverse that and use a few broader indexed routes that are pre-stored to fill in the blanks. But it doesn't work. Nothing sticks and the brain simply will not do it, there's some sort of specialized hardware it uses for that (not unlike how a dedicated part of the brain uses the inner ear and magnetite in the meninges to track rotation) and the redundant system you rely on having necessarily bypassed I suppose have severe bottlenecks handling that and other tasks at the same time. Dragging everything out of the unconscious and managing it in the conscious frame just isn't possible.

That's why I'm not all that concerned about whether we're a globe Earth amidst eleventy gajillion millions stars and galaxies, or if it's got a dome over it and stars are sonoluminescence, or if my real body is in a pod and I'm jacked into a torture simulation known as the matrix which is harvesting my loosh literally or etaphorically. Actually I am concerned about the latter, it is highly relevant to determine whether one has a real(er) body "elsewhere". Otherwise I'm just not all that interested in asserting or arguing over things I simply cannot know. See eg the munchhausen trilemma.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchhausen_trilemma

So in conclusion that's what I think about whether the Earth is flat.

FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY THEORY IS A CIA PSYOP to discredit other conspiracy theories
Anyone who believes in it is extremely uninformed.
