TIL that some people (similar to flat-earthers, I suppose) think that the moon is bowl-shaped

Does Discworld have nutters who insist the world is spherical?
took me a second to realize it wasn't a weird old-timey sea plane
If Great A'Tuin was real I believe by now it would have been annoyed enough to throw us all off
What is the turtle resting on?
More importantly, is it male or female?
It’s swimming in space ocean.
That's an excellent idea for sci-fantasy novel
Or a Zelda game.
The turtle moves!
FWIW though, that would only make sense if the moon was on the horizon. If the moon is directly overhead or close enough, it'd still get mostly shaded.
If it was at like a 45° angle, though, the shadow would look pretty oblong if the earth was truly flat.
I KNEW THERE WAS A SPACE TURTLE
Screw this, I'm going to live on the turtle.
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 mayn't aid.
He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me.
Ha. There’s no such thing as.
