      I’ve only found one post in which someone points to a map, claiming the lack of undersea cables between the southern pointy bits of land is evidence they’re on opposite sides of the disc.

        I see on occasion people talking about the lack of flights across the southern hemisphere as being proof, very similar concept.

      I think in their crazy world, the north pole is at the center of the earth disk and Antarctica is actually an ice wall around the perimeter that keeps the water on the disk. Therefore, Africa and Australia are on opposite sides of the disk (like left-right not heads-tails) or are near the out perimeter and no one would build a cable going across that long of a distance.

      If that makes your brain hurt because of the stupidity, that’s because it is. Flat earthers are only good as the target of a joke because we can all agree that it’s stupid. There are some entertaining videos on YouTube of people making fun of them, or of themselves proving themselves wrong.

        Why not the south pole being in the center of the earth.

        And I actually looked on a map, Africa is much further away to Australia than I thought.

        I thought the ice wall was knocked down by the white walker dragon…

        You know what I’m not even going to continue this joke because I don’t want to give any credit to season 8

        Fuck D&D Where is the Lemmy version of /r/freefolk?
