There isn't one already?
The fact that there isnt one is useed as proof of a flat earth, I wonder what they will come up with when this goes in?
Huh??
I think in their crazy world, the north pole is at the center of the earth disk and Antarctica is actually an ice wall around the perimeter that keeps the water on the disk. Therefore, Africa and Australia are on opposite sides of the disk (like left-right not heads-tails) or are near the out perimeter and no one would build a cable going across that long of a distance.
If that makes your brain hurt because of the stupidity, that's because it is. Flat earthers are only good as the target of a joke because we can all agree that it's stupid. There are some entertaining videos on YouTube of people making fun of them, or of themselves proving themselves wrong.
Why not the south pole being in the center of the earth.
And I actually looked on a map, Africa is much further away to Australia than I thought.
It is a loosing battle to try to make sense of the nonsensical. Only use their craziness as a source of humor and entertainment.
True. Thanks
Well you see, the UN's logo is actually a top-down view of Earth. Apparently. Because they can't keep a conspiracy secret without leaving some clues in the open for kicks.
many countries mark Antarctica as neutral territory and there are laws surrounding what you can and cant do in Antartica so doing any business move there is probably not ideal unless you want to piss some countries off even if this is objectively going to help countries get better connected.
I think they meant in the flat earth scenario
Meanwhile, many Australians would like to cut WA off with a chainsaw, and push it back to South Africa with all the S.Africans on it.
What's WA? Washington?
Western Australia
Oh
I thought the ice wall was knocked down by the white walker dragon...
You know what I'm not even going to continue this joke because I don't want to give any credit to season 8
Fuck D&D Where is the Lemmy version of /r/freefolk?
Spoilers, man!
All I've ruined for you is disappointment
