Should be spherical. Is the sun.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Flat Earthers vs. flat Sunners fight!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We're always seeing the sun from the side

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

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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

Trump will rename it and then everything will make sense.

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

A boob ofc.

Then again, the Swiss flag is a big plus

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

But USA got all the stars and attention.

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 3 weeks ago

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

I feel like this is something the Japanese would do

The essence of the game is about the cones

I just lost the...oh nevermind.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

And the white part could have structure too

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

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

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

Vexillographers are vexed by its vertex

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

This is how 4D space works

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

How does Seychelles look from the side? 🤔

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

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