What people don't realize is that these levels are built with a barely-perceptible curve to match the shape of the Earth.

See, this is why I post stupid shit like this. One, for the comments, and two, for info like this. Thank you kind stranger πŸ‘ ☺️.

Just in case you are serious (can’t say for sure on internet) - he wasn’t.

[–] 0x4E4F 8 points 1 year ago

Of course I wasn't πŸ˜‚.

Has a landscape as well... nice touch.

Then why is the bubble curved and not flat.

Checkmate flerthers!

It still makes me laugh all our building's paths and stuff like that are judged by a floating air bubble in a coloured liquid.

Unless your building or infrastructure was built after they became a thing, everything else, air bubble.

[–] 0x4E4F 1 points 1 year ago

My building, definitely. It's built in 1965 πŸ˜‚.

And theodolites.

Now do it with a 15,000 mile long level.

Any spirit level is simply a measure of its tangent with centre of mass of the earth on its plane. I can use the same technique to prove a tennis ball is flat, I can prove thin air is flat….

Woahhh…. What if, everything is flat…. Duuuuude.

TAKE THIS GLOBEHEADS

FLAT EARTHERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE LAUGHING AT YOU

[–] 0x4E4F 2 points 1 year ago

Oh well, at least both sides are laughing.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, that settles that I guess. Let’s argue about politics or religion instead…

[–] 0x4E4F 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

GOD, NO, PLEASE, NO, DON'T!

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

Can you spare a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

[–] 0x4E4F 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Runs away Forest Gump style

[–] 0x4E4F 1 points 1 year ago

Of course, whatever you say.

[–] PsychedSy -1 points 1 year ago

It is an argument about religion.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Okay.

Lays down another level next to it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think this just means that they installed earth on a good angle.

[–] winterayars 5 points 1 year ago

Turn a bowl upside-down and slap this bad boy on top of it. Boom, proof the bowl is a plate.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Welp, can't argue against that. Ya finally converted me.
