Is the Earth round or flat?

Flat-eartherism like most conspiracy theories is sublimated antisemitism

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

it’s flat

Flat as yo ass

It's flap.

The earth is not "flat". It is not "round". It is roughly spherical with some minor pear-shaped abnormalities.

I think the accounts of the earth's non-roundness are exaggerated. "the distance from Earth's center to sea level is roughly 21 kilometers (13 miles) greater at the equator than at the poles". That is not much

Classically speaking, the sphere is a Euclidian solid, abstractly devoid of all imperfections. But I think we are in basic agreement.

The Earth is thicc

lol

The surface of the Earth is shaped like the outside of a taco shell.

Die Erde ist rund

a torus is round. so is a discus. so is a hoop.

the earth is a flat square (and we live on the inside)

Like a Fudge Round

It's a Ringworld.

Well thank god that's sorted

We really ought to change the name of the Bonneville Salt Flats. It's misleading.

Buncha jokers voting for round, come on.

Flatness is an area in which the Earth excels.

Flat Earth FC have rebranded as Club de Fútbol Fuenlabrada Promesas Madrid 2021

I was going to ask if anyone was coming across flat earth stuff more, I feel like its been increasingly rapidly (from an admittedly tiny position), but in Madrid at least it seems to have hit something of a stumbling block

round imo

too early to tell

we must first define our terms, what is "flat" and "round" and "earth" in this context

earth is round, but space is flat

stop bodyshaming Earth

hi j.lu, hi zach, hi Neanderthal! 🌸

It's a D12

One thing that’s nice about the flat earth is I can wave at cat, and no matter how far away we are, we can clearly see each other as long as one of us is on a ladder!

who says we're even really on earth anyway? the nerdy pinko eggheads up in their ivied ivory towers? pshaw!

this 'ringwoodite' stuff is fascinating, found in some meteorites and 400 miles into the earth's crust and at extreme temperature and pressure it is porous and apparently holds a vast underground ocean. Not in liquid nor gas form, apparently at such depths the water molecules split. Fuck knows this is very confusing.

Rudy Rucker eventually adjusted his dope The Hollow Earth to fit with the sequel, later they were published in this one vol.

"The Hollow Earth" is a classic work of American steampunk. In 1836, our seventeen-year-old narrator Mason Reynolds leaves his father's Virginia farm with the black Otha. He befriends the dissolute Edgar Allan Poe, and they fall through a thousand-mile-deep hole in the ice of Antarctica. Within the Hollow Earth, Mason woos and wins Seela, who lives upon a giant flower. At the earth’s the core he finds a sky-surfing tribe known as the black gods—and a cluster of giant, god-like sea cucumbers known as woomo. Mason, Seela, and Poe make their way out through the crust and back to Earth. But due to their time in the strong light of the woomo, their skins are black. And then they encounter Poe’s double... "Return to the Hollow Earth" is Rucker’s second steampunk novel featuring Mason Reynolds. In 1850, Mason and his wife Seela embark upon a perilous trip around Cape Horn to San Francisco. Their ship sinks, but they're saved by a tentacled, flying nautilus—who carries them to meet Edgar Allan Poe. Poe leads them on a return voyage to the Hollow Earth, passing through the throat of a thousand-mile-deep maelstrom at the North Pole. Within the Hollow Earth, they learn that the god-like woomo sea cucumbers mean to send them them on a epic mission across space and time. The initial stage of this mission brings them to modern-day Santa Cruz, California. This 2021 edition supersedes all previous versions of "The Hollow Earth" and "Return to the Hollow Earth."

Picked up a book about the history of th idea of the Hollow Earth yesterday. Not sure how good it is but seemed interesting to have the various forms in one place.
