The Great Ice Ball Earth Theory

  I love that the sun supposedly melts a spot, but helpfully leaves the arctic ice sheet in the center.

    I also love that this version of flat earth theory is perfectly okay with our living on the surface of a huge spherical object floating in space.

      The sphere is so big that it will appear as flat for any purpose you can think of.

      Oh, wait…

      So many hoops to jump through only to theorize that we are in fact on a spheroid planet…

      I guess this is mocking flat earthers. Not a real claim they make.

    Because the sun likes cold drinks

    There’s obviously a gigantic magnifying glass between the Sun an Earth!

  Flat earth would be so cool if it was just sci-fantasy authors and not weird, return to christandom, anti-modernity types.

    So, the Discworld. Yes, it is very cool.

    There’s some really amazing world building that’s been done with flat-earth art as a springboard

    Can’t remember the name, but there’s one with concentric circles separated by ice walls with landmasses named after different mythologies’ deities. There’s a whole community built around writing lore for each landmass

      Michael Marshall Smith does this theme, only different.

  It’s the “possibly hallow” for me

    It would have to be, else the whole thing would be so massive, it would risk collapsing into a star. Except stars are smaller than planets in that picture, so never mind.

  Why would the very center of the melted puddle also be just as cold and frozen as the edges?

  source

  • ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The Sun orbits around the center. That’s why seasons happen

    Shhhh honey, we don’t use logic here. Just let it happen.

  OK, I love the big ice ball theory. However, I think the big ice ball might actually be flat. Idk would make more sense to me.

  source

  • Alberat@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    but that flat ice ball is on a ball of lava

    source

    • liuther9@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      And in fact this is not a lava but just a floor

  If this is true, then why does my wife want to leave me for Devin from her work?

    Flat Devin theory. How much is a bulldozer?

    Devin knows the truth.

  So you’re saying it’s a sphere…

• osanna@lemmy.vg ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Wait, they believe it’s a sphere of ice but not of rock?

  Or Disco Elysium for the multiple earths option.

  Are they progressing forward… or backward?

  This is why Global Warming is such a big deal to Flat Earthers. They don’t want EarCe to collapse…

  Snowball or Slushball earth..

  Hollow earth theory was also a thing.
