You mean a wave?
- FiskFisk33 ( @FiskFisk33@startrek.website ) 25•1 year ago
have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you’ll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.
- Tbird83ii ( @Tbird83ii@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•1 year ago
Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.
- Mongostein ( @Mongostein@lemmy.ca ) 3•1 year ago
No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.

what do prairie people think about

I dunno. Grass ‘n shit. 🤷🏻♂️

It sure is there bud. Think the rain’ll help it grow?

When a ship gets far away and you only see the top half, it’s behind a flat Earth water mountain.

They’d just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard…

Well I got good news for you. This isn’t a planet. It’s a giant rug thats’s floating in space propelled by genie’s dark matter astro-projection that moves us at 9.8 meters/sec² and our world was created by an entity named God who’s 3 wishes to the genie was 1. to create this magnificient space rug to house 2. the people that will be
spawnedcreated on this wonderful place and will 3. forever worship God and his Magnificient Space Rug and that non-believers will have to suffer their entire life believing in the Round-Earth Conspiracy.Thank God™ for helping us realize the truth. 🤓

What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.
- peto (he/him) ( @peto@lemm.ee ) English9•1 year ago
This has been disproved. We live on a globe in an experimental non-magical universe kept at a university run by wizards who live on a disc held up by four elephants on the book of the Great Atuin.
- itsYaBoyNoodles ( @r3nder@beehaw.org ) 8•1 year ago
Actually there were five elephants, but one lost its footing, entered an unstable orbit and came hurtling through space, smashing into the Disc and causing the mountains to rise.
- GFGJewbacca ( @GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee ) 5•1 year ago
Crap, I have to reread the series now and appreciate “The Fifth Elephant.” Didn’t that elephant also cause huge crystalized fat deposits to happen deep in the disc?

Water mountains sound so fun that I’ll choose to believe in them. Also ball eath but in combination with water mountains
- Holzkohlen ( @Holzkohlen@feddit.de ) 16•1 year ago
We do have water volcanoes at least. Someone just named them geysers. Tho I’m fairly sure that vulcanic activity disproves flat earth.

- Jordan_U ( @Jordan_U@lemmy.ml ) 5•1 year ago
I know it’s really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by “gerwin” screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.
There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn’t appear to be one of them.
(Googling for “water mountain” just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)

Wouldn’t it actually be water valleys? If you are standing on the shore and watched a boat go up a water mountain at the horizon it would stay visible, there would have to be a valley for the boat to disappear.
