Can you explain this one to my ignorant ass? What's the joke?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The joke is the absurdity of a flat earth and making puns like "all around the globe" in that context and creating absurdist proof that the Earth is flat despite everyone knowing since kindergarten that it isn't.

But some people started taking it too seriously.

Oh, I guess I got that part but was expecting there to be a pun I didn't get in the "read that again slowly" text.

They either got wooooshed or are taking part on that joke ...

It is flat, you just don't see it. Gravity curves space/time into a globe.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait a second. Gravity doesn't exist! The flat earth is constantly accelerating! You're one of THEM!

Actually no, gravity is the behaviour we see due to warped space/time, caused by the earth's mass. Just like it causes light to bend.
