    Idiot here. Is it proof that Fauci did 9/11 harbor to fake the flat moon landing on 5g vaccine autism with gay-hurricane-powered Jewish frog space lasers funded by Bill gates and George Soros?

      What’s everybody got against the Jewish Space Lasers? Rabbi Rabinowitz has been in charge of those lasers since 1998, and he’s been doing a damn fine job keeping the Martians and asteroids at bay! You know he’s only come down from Skylab II twice since he took the director’s position up there? You know what that much zero gravity does to a man? He’s been up there so long, he can’t come back anymore. He’s gonna die up there manning those lasers. That’s what Rabbi Rabinowitz has sacrificed for his country and planet! And the gall of some people, ranting about the Jewish space lasers. Are there Jewish space lasers? Yes! And they’ve been keeping your dumb ass safe from Martians and meteors for decades!

      [In my head, I read this in Bernie Sander’s voice.]

        Lol rabinowicz is Slavic for son of the rabbi so “rabbi rabinowitz” sounds like a character from a Bourekas comedy

          Yeah, I’ve used the name before in a similar tale. It just really tickles me to think that there in fact ARE Jewish space lasers, and there’s a brave group of rabbis up on a space station keeping the planet safe from extraterrestrial threats. And “Rabbi Rabinowitz” is one of the most ridiculously over-the-top Jewish names I can think of. And instead of nefarious conspiracies, it’s very fun to just be like, “what do you have against the Jewish space lasers?! How dare you insult the good work of the great Rabbi Rabinowitz! You ungrateful bastard. He’s given his life to save you!!”

    The outer ring is made of 1-3 meter thick bedrock, but you can easily teleport through it. Just remember to bring enough material with you to make a portal to get back to our universe, otherwise you’ll have to starve yourself to death and respawn without your gear.

    If you hate this image then why post it. Fun image but please work on your titles lol, my point is it isn’t super good when you let some 1000 conspiracy theorists living in some niche forums live rent free in your head to such point they ruin cool images for you

        No wonder, those big dong conspiracists are the worst. Whole universe is nothing more than a giant penis? Ridiculous. All because of the low res labels on observable universe diagrams making a look like o and b look like d

          I’ve recently learned Americans don’t do log tables in high school.

          Log is the opposite of exponent, so log2 is the opposite of squared, log 3 the opposite of cubed. log4 opposite of x^4 etc

          instead of making things relatively bigger, you’re going the other way and making things smaller, in the diagram this means that if the sun’s size is 1 unit, under log2 it would have to be twice as big as the sun to be represented as the same size as the sun, the closer you get to the edge the bigger it has to be to be represented as the same size as the sun

            Log was absolutely a part of my American high school math curriculum, and while it may not make its way to everyone, many if not most Americans were exposed to it in school. But people have terrible memories when it comes to what they leaned in school, doubly so regarding math, quadruply so regarding higher-level math. Regardless of their level of educational exposure to math concepts, I certainly don’t expect the average American adult to be able to reliably do any math they learned outside of elementary school, myself included, because after a few decades of not practicing, not even thinking about those concepts, that knowledge is almost certainly gone or at least covered in a very heavy mat of mental cobwebs.

      The further you look in the sky, the further back in time you are looking as well – there is no way to see what far way looks like “right now”. This image shows the visible universe as it appears from our perspective in spacetime, which necessarily smears together the “where”, “what”, and “when” of it all, but also shows the evolution through time of some of the larger structures.

      The tendril things that converge into single celestial objects are clouds of gas condensing to form galaxies and clusters over billions of years.

      Yeah that outer edge is called the firmament.

      /s

      That said the models of flat earth would make pretty dope wallclocks even if based on some wildly stupid shit.

    Kinda weird to put the sun in the center imo. Cause we’re not the center of it all. But if you put the earth in the center and started spacing out from there it would be pretty cool IMHO

    1. its the universe that is flat

    2. everything revolves around and everything is illuminated by the Sun

    3. the Sun is the largest structure

    4. the veins at the outer edges arent bleeding yet so you can stretch it a bit more

    5. Uranus is in Ouranus

    Louis Rossman had a video recently that I think applies here: don’t give in to the premises of assholes. This was particularly directed at Gamer’s Nexus and how Steve over there handles Linus, but it’s good life advice for anyone. I had a roommate that I was thinking of in this regard, and I wish I had this advice at the time.

    There are people in this world who try to set conditions for their own benefit at the expense of you. Don’t let them do that. This image is a good example; it’s a perfectly valid model for certain use cases. Don’t let anti-science idiots take that away with their stupidity.

    Hell, I think the whole Final Experiment with flat earthers is an example of giving in.

      Now and then I’ll watch a Louis Rossman and Gamer’s Nexus video but I don’t follow Linus. Did something happen between them that I missed?

        Oh, yeah, lots of drama.

        Gamer’s Nexus has always wanted to do very careful testing with wind chambers and sound chambers and such. They’ve been building that sort of thing up over the last few years, but the options for that are at the limits of what they can invest in at their level. However, they’re also very careful about how they do it and document everything.

        Now, Linus Media Group was putting together the same sort of lab, but they don’t have the same reputation that Gamer’s Nexus does on being careful and taking your time to get it right. Just the opposite, in fact. What they do have is the capital to invest in a much more elaborate setup. Then some of the staffers made a comment on video directly aimed at Gamer’s Nexus and how LMG’s lab will be better.

        That’s when Steve went gloves off and made a whole video detailing LMG’s sins of poor reviews and staff that wish they could spend more time to get things right. Things like “this mouse feels bad when you drag it around the desk”, and it turned out they forgot to take the plastic protective coating off the bottom.

        This dominoes into a few other incidents that I’ll spare for the moment so this post doesn’t get too long. Suffice it to say, LMG lost a lot of subscribers because of a series of issues that were highlighted to the community by Gamer’s Nexus, and then that opened up into even more things. It revealed how much LMG’s internals are steeped in bro culture, just in case that wasn’t obvious.

        The two have mostly ignored each other since then, but there was one thing that recently surfaced it. Steve apparently had an old phone that had been doxxed some years ago, and he doesn’t use that number anymore. Now, Linus and Steve had been texting at various times to Steve’s new number. Linus recently sent a text to the old number, knowing that Steve wouldn’t ever see it, and then claims on video that Steve isn’t responding to his text on an issue between them. That’s what prompts Louis to make the “don’t give in to the premises of assholes” video.

        Linus clearly set that situation up. Louis is more familiar with how people like that function, and he had to walk Steve through the logic of what was going on. That’s the part that reminded me of my old roommate, because I was often in Steve’s situation, and like him, I didn’t recognize it for what it was.
