So Mr. Dagger had to contact our flat-earther neighbor three days ago about buying some hay, and the guy still hasn't responded, so my man was like, "Wuddid he fall off the face of the ****ing..."

I immediately thought of this thread.

Obviously they just did a circle around the disk and the coriolis force caused by the turtle swimming in circles made them feel like it was a spherical trip.

if the earth was flat, wouldn't everything get sucked into a vacuum and annihilated the second anyone tried to dig a hole

It's really quite a thick disk.

Heavens no! We can be sure that the diameter of the disk is still much larger than the thickness* - yet, still, by human standards, it's quite thick.

*Naturally, the eletromagnetic field appears to interact with the earth in a way that suggests its a sphere, but if you consider the edging effects of the magnetic field of a disk (particularly when the diameter is much larger than the thickness) it's approximately the same result.

Cylinders can't have a height greater than their diameter? I'll have to give my geometry teacher a call.
