  Would that actually be true? Someone should try to render a flat earth, for science, shits, and giggles.

  Okay, I want to be able to simulate what the world would actually look like from a vantage point where you could see the whole world unwrapped like this.

  One does not simply walk into Flat Earth

  Don’t forget that it’d be nighttime after a certain distance, because light can only travel a certain distance before it disappears.

    Well now you’re assuming the sun is spherical and gives off light in all directions.

    If it were more like a flashlight, then flat earth day and night still works. So checkmate again.

      But we wouldn’t see sunrise/sunset.

      A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it’s just pointed at one wall. It’s not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.

    the sun is also flat and it sits directly above the earth. it’s just that it rotates so sometimes we can only see the side of the sun that doesn’t have any light.

  It’s a rare sight and you can only see this on mid of 2020. Not a single report at all because of the lockdown. They want us to drive car so the smog will make sure you couldn’t see any further than your city.

  They are covering up, wake up sheeple!

    It’s very far away and we’re still seeing the light from when it still stood

      Make sense, Sauron didn’t die he just weakened and took ages to recover.

    maybe OP has elf ancestry? physics doesn’t really apply to them so maybe they can see into the past

  That black tower center-left is in Washington DC is it not?

  POV: you’re in Australia

  (Hypothetically the only way the arrangement of Pyramids, Eiffel Tower, and Statue of Liberty works on flat Earth)

  • jaybone@lemmy.zip ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Eiffel Tower is too far to the right. I think you would have to be in the US standing very close to the Statue of Liberty for this to work. If at all. You’d have to be pretty far north to get the pyramids that far to the left of the Eiffel Tower and still have the Statue of Liberty in the pic. TLDR, I think this might be fake.

    I think that is a shot from “Babe: Pig in the City” movie, from 1998.
