Flat earthers, what’s on the bottom of the flat Earth?
Edit: how do we “know” the bottom half isn’t round? Like half a lemon that’s been cut in half
The flat earth is supported on the back of four elephants, who in turn are standing on a giant cosmic turtle that is flying through space.
It is speculated the turtle is looking for a partner. When that happy day happens, that will be the big bang.
It is of critical importance, therefor, to know the sex of the giant turtle.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird how Great A’Tuin gets all the chelonaut attention, while the elephants get ignored?
Well, the Dwarves give plenty of attention to the Fifth Elephant.
that will be the big bang.
But turtles make no banging noise. It’s loud panting or wheezing noises. And it goes on for quite a while, so that you could maybe get a little envious…
Even with their shells?
Not clonking?
Well, humans “bang” without banging either, so.
Not clonking?
LOL whatever they do, they do it slow and steady.
I have watched one at the zoo, where a child had touched it and so it turned it’s head around to look what’s happened. Slow and steady. It took a little more than a minute.
Hey, my little box turtle can really move when he’s attacking a snail! Poor little 🐌 👻 is like, “He came out of nowhere!”
Before anyone asks what’s under the turtle: It’s turtles all the way down.
Here’s the weird thing: In terms of the beginning of the universe, it could well be the case that it’s universes all the way back.
That said, “back” indicates a straight line, and since time doesn’t extend past the beginning, at least, not directly, that line most definitely isn’t straight, unlike an infinite stack of turtles.
Ok - now i have to go Google because I’m not sure if you made this up or if this is something that they actually believe.
I don’t know about the big bang, but the elephants and turtle are Terry Pratchett. Discworld, Pratchett’s most well-known setting, is a disc shaped world on the back of four elephants on the back of a turtle.
It’s a whole quotation, from The Colour of Magic maybe? You’ve heard of “banging” to refer to sexual congress, or do the kids not know that one these days? So, Spaceturtle-on-Spaceturtle action would be quite a big bang, and also a pune, or play on words.
I could murder a curry right now.
It’s the description of the the Discworld.
Though let’s be real, Discworld makes just a hair more sense then the flat earther extended universe.
See the TURTLE of enormous girth! On his shell he holds the earth.

Is this going ALL the way down?

Flat Earth sits on top of a Globe Earth balancing like a seal on a ball. Below Globe Earth we have Cube Earth, Pyramid Earth, Texas Earth, and then Evil Earth (which is Globe Earth with a goatee).
My favourite is the Québécois earth, it’s sassy
It’s sassy and thinks it speaks TRUE French
See the turtle of enormous girth,
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind
He holds us all within his mind.
On his back all vows are made
He sees the truth but may not said.
He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me.See the turtle ain’t he keen all things serve the fucking beam
The Turtle Moves!
Nothing, duh! Why do you think nobody has ever tried to reach the center of the earth (as if there was any,the earth is flat!)? They tell you it’s because of the pressure (lies, that is an invented term of the “roundies”), it’s because if someone ever tried, they’d fall into the hell, which is real and is where every other “roundy” goes after they die.
(Just in case: /s)
no need to add the /s
if people think you are serious, they are stupid. let them die in ignorance
Poe’s Law man, it’s impossible to make a parody of absurd beliefs without somebody mistaking it for genuine belief.
Which is kinda how we got to making flat earth posts in the first place, no?
I have to say, your comment is pretty offensive. As a “flat earther”, I take these beliefs seriously, and it’s frustrating to see them reduced to a joke.
First off, the idea that nobody has ever tried to reach the center of the Earth isn’t just a punchline. It’s part of a bigger conversation about what we think lies beneath us. The whole pressure thing feels like another excuse from the “roundies” to dismiss our views without real evidence. We question everything because we’re trying to find the truth.
For many of us, Hell is a significant part of our belief system. We believe in spiritual realities that a lot of people overlook. The idea that if someone dug too deep, they’d fall into hell is serious for us; it reflects our beliefs about morality and consequences. Mocking this belief shows a lack of understanding and respect for what we hold dear.
Also, I have no idea what you meant by “(just in case: /s)” at the end of your comment, but it sounds like it could be something offensive. If you’re going to make jokes at our expense, at least be clear about what you mean.
Instead of making jokes, how about we have a real discussion? Every belief system deserves some respect, even if you don’t agree with it. I’d be interested in hearing your perspective on why you think the Earth is round, and I’m happy to share more about why we think differently.
Earth is more like a trampoline. It was flat, but then your mother was born.
I appreciate your willingness to engage in this conversation, but I must say that your comment misses the mark in terms of constructive dialogue.
While humor can sometimes lighten a conversation, it can also derail meaningful discussions. Your comment feels dismissive and undermines the serious nature of the topics we’re discussing.
Every belief system, including the flat Earth perspective, deserves to be treated with respect. Mockery doesn’t foster understanding; it creates division. I’m genuinely interested in hearing your thoughts on why you believe the Earth is round, and I hope you can appreciate that my beliefs are rooted in a desire to seek truth, just as yours are.
Let’s focus on having a respectful discussion where we can share our perspectives. I’m open to exploring the evidence and reasoning behind both viewpoints without resorting to jokes or insults. What do you think?
That depends. Have you studied the work of Boffa?
I appreciate your question about Boffa’s work. Engaging with different perspectives is crucial for any meaningful discussion.
To clarify, I’m always open to exploring various theories and research, including those that challenge mainstream views. If you could share more about Boffa’s contributions or specific ideas, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how they relate to our conversation about the shape of the Earth.
Understanding different viewpoints can help us both refine our beliefs and foster a more productive dialogue. What aspects of Boffa’s work do you find most compelling in relation to the flat Earth perspective?
Looking forward to your insights!
Edit: After some digging, I found this, “Understanding the Lived Experience of Late-Entry English Learners,” authored by Joseph W. Boffa II.
I assume you’re suggesting I don’t know English very well. That’s awful rude
Boffa deez nutz
Oh, I see
A big lump of fruit waiting for a spoon to mix it through the upper layers.
So that’s what flying saucers are….
That’s an interesting question. I’ll try to get to the bottom of this.
The parallel verion of earth where the government failed to create the dome and perpetrate the #BigGlobeLie, therefore, everyone believes in Flat Earth, except a few Round Earth conspiracy theorists.
/s (doubt anyone here is a flat earther)
Edit: Btw, some languages’s word for “Earth” already implies its round shape. Example: in Chinese its 地球, 地 meaning the ground, and 球 meaning a ball, literally meaning a ball shaped object made with the “ground matter”. Wonder how Flat Earthers in China are dealing with it, do they call it: 平地球 (Flat-RoundEarth)?
Circles are round. Checkmate, globers
Ice and rock obv, because there’s no heat on the bottom of the earth, and as we know the earth is actually hollow, so we’ll find the gnomes and goblins and fairys and stuff in the caves of the hollow earth.
All the people with nowhere to go but up.
Well we know it’s not oil or the USA would have explored it already… (\s:-P)
Coffee, lots of coffee and cookies and tea!
