Also people who live in a basement, or cave, or underground complex of some kind, or who are currently caving, … they also aren’t ‘on’ Earth, they’re ‘in the Earth’, … and people currently in submersibles, under the water line, well they’re not on the surface, they’re in or under the ocean or w/e, by this grammatical level of pedantry.
Comment on Kinda fucked up tbh
Dave@lemmy.nz 2 days agoI mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.
It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.

Are you saying that people jumping ARE on earth? Because I disagree.

They’re clearly not “jumping” they’re pushing the earth away
Pinklink@lemm.ee 1 day ago
That’s relatively true

Are there enough trampolines on earth that we could reasonably expect that at any time there is at least one person in the upper part of their jump on a trampoline?
