Should be spherical. Is the sun.

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

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

Flat Earthers vs. flat Sunners fight!

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

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

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 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”

Is this the birth of the Flat Sun theory?

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

*conical sun theory

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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 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 2 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 2 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

Trump will rename it and then everything will make sense.
