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.

but that flat ice ball is on a ball of lava
And in fact this is not a lava but just a floor
Wait, they believe it’s a sphere of ice but not of rock?
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...
Wiffleball Earth Therory
Why a sphere? Why not a torus?
I loves me some touruses....If I could make that doughnut in Blender I would spend all day just doing that.
We could use a lady of pain around here..
Don't be silly, it's Turtles all the way down, not bulls
I love that the sun supposedly melts a spot, but helpfully leaves the arctic ice sheet in the center.
Because the sun rotates around that part, duh
This is literally part of standard flat earth models. The sun flies around in a circle above the earth, and when it gets far enough away from your location, that’s sunset/night.
I don’t know how they deal with the lack of change in the sun’s apparent diameter.
Edit: Looked it up. It’s due to “atmospheric distortion.”
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.
I guess this is mocking flat earthers. Not a real claim they make.
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...
They've come around in the end, it seems

That's where Santa Claus lives. It's pretty obvious that he uses his magic to make the snow and ice so that every day is Christmas.
There's obviously a gigantic magnifying glass between the Sun an Earth!
Because the sun likes cold drinks
It's the "possibly hollow" 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.
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.
They really do ruin everything
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
Even old Christians knew the earth was a sphere. The "Catholics believe the earth is flat" was something said by someone AGAINST Catholics, not because it was true.
They knew for sure. They just didn't know much about the layout and mechanics of the solar system. The Earth centric model was the thing. But only because they didn't have good enough tools to observe otherwise. When they got better telescopes and mathematics, learned better.

This is probably what it felt like to the first explorers trying to cross either pole.
So you're saying it's a sphere..
Why would the very center of the melted puddle also be just as cold and frozen as the edges?
The Sun orbits around the center, but its hottest side always faces away. That's why seasons happen
Shhhh honey, we don't use logic here. Just let it happen.
i love it, i’m in
If this is true, then why does my wife want to leave me for Devin from her work?
His balls aren't hollow.
He has a big dick.
Flat Devin theory. How much is a bulldozer?
