Then again, the Swiss flag is a big plus

But USA got all the stars and attention.

Should be spherical. Is the sun.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (5 children)

How do YOU know the sun is spherical? You never saw it from the side either

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It’s actually the shape of a tic tac and we are all just seeing “the tip”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We're always seeing the sun from the side

Is this the birth of the Flat Sun theory?

[–] emergencyfood 3 points 1 day ago

*conical sun theory

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

You mean 3 months? 6 months ago you'd see the same section, from the other side.

Anyway, the Sun rotates too, so it's not that simple (you can see the sunspots moving). But yeah, right idea.

oh so what's next? are your physics gonna tell us that the earth isn't flat either?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Of course not it's a cylinder, it has some curve and that's why people are fooled into believing it's a sphere

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

True. Have you seen world maps? They're rectangular. And it's mathematically impossible to make a isometric map between a rectangle and a sphere, so therefore it must be cylindrical

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

Right?! I don't know how people don't realize it. It must be academia and mainstream media trying to bury the truth

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Trump will rename it and then everything will make sense.

Do we even know that the sun is spherical in the original manga where Japan was founded?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

THE SUN IS CIRCULAR NOT ******ICAL THAT IS ALL. CARRY ON.

Flat Earthers vs. flat Sunners fight!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, if the sun was conical and always pointed directly at our flat earth, how would we even know?

I’d love to see a model of this flat earth representation of the solar system where all objects have these alternate geographic forms. Maybe the moon is a cylinder. And Jupiter is a donut.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Saturn is a hexagon, it just spins so fast that it looks round from the side. The rings are speed lines.

Uranus and Neptune are two hemispheres, they were once joined at the edge like a buttocks.

Mars is a concave mirror-shape. Mercury is just the reflection of the sun bouncing off Mars and hitting stellar swamp gas that floats near the Sun's tip.

Venus is the only actual sphere, it's just not a planet. It's a death star. That's why the surface is so hostile, to deter hijackers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Flat Sunners sounds like the stage name of a really stupid lounge singer 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

A boob ofc.

Japan is actually entirely inhabited by garden gnomes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes but underground. Only their hats poke out on the surface

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I feel like this is something the Japanese would do

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nice to see Tinkercad in the wild! Don't forget to change filament at 2mm.

(Tinkercad is a free and super simple web-based app for creating 3D models you can print. The above model could also be known as the foot destroyer.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Make sure you use 100% infill for maximum foot destruction.

Vexillographers are vexed by its vertex

In a Chinese mythology story, there was a story about one upon a time, there being 10 suns (as in dieties), which each taking turns to be in the sky. One day, all 10 just decided to hang out in the sky simultsneously. So they send someone with a bow and arrows to shoot down 9 of the suns.

What if Japan is just one of the 9 suns that were shot with an arrow, and survived and transformed into land? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

What a journey. And yes it is.

The essence of the game is about the cones

Just so you know, it could be anything that fits in a cilinder

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

And the white part could have structure too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Including a 3D hand with a raised middle finger.
This whole time, we never knew!

[–] starman2112 0 points 1 day ago

No it's a cone this is literally a picture of it lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's one of those cone-shaped sex toys, isn't it? I'd expect nothing less (or more) from Japan.

This is how 4D space works

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

How does Seychelles look from the side? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They say that's what it looks like from space.
