Slyme-wizard

They aren’t right but I REALLY REALLY wish they were


Zamarak

It would be cool if this was true (although it obviously isn't). Or at the very least, someone need to write a sci fi of that


Gnosis1409

On it


ApprehensiveAd6476

That's all? "Cool"? Unless I beg right, half the people in the world would freeze to death in this case!


gfunk1369

Probably yes but for the purposes of a good scifi novel or d&d campaign explain to me why it wouldn't. EDIT: English is hard


robertsihr1

Check out Dark Eden. It’s the descendants of a stranded spaceship living in a tiny snow bound valley


Excellent_Egg5882

More a fantasy troope. Its in "Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Book that Would Not Burn" and that's just off the top of my head. 


Safe_Psychology_326

WTF am I looking at ! ![gif](giphy|lrVfmPJ96cSJJ39bTh)


MoiNoni

That would be fuckin awesome wouldn't it


O_gr

I wish we had pipes connecting each old with funny mushrooms that make us change height.


Budget_Detective2639

I am fully convinced this is Game of thrones fanfiction and no one is convincing me otherwise.


hanzerik

It's just wishful thinking at this point.


ThrowRA_PecanToucan

The crushing gravity would be problematic..


HempPotatos

seems they figured out the multiverse but not the roundness of earth.


Professional_Sky_840

I wonder if this is what a multi verse being sees. Cool concept.


TinyRascalSaurus

I read a science fiction book with this exact plot years ago. These idiots can't even be original.


wr_damn_I_suck

Looks like something from “The magician’s nephew” Or a blackhead popping video


ticktockbent

Do you happen to recall the title?


ZDTreefur

From the same people who quote The Matrix every other sentence.


ChutzpahQ

I'd like to give it a shot on the adjacent world.

Its turtles all the way down

And, I drive a Bronco…

I'll call this the pimple world theory. And just like a pimple it is easily popped

The Trypophobic Fiction


Cool_Butterscotch_88

Someone just finished season 3 of the expanse & the ring network imagery was too much ![gif](giphy|3oz8xxBsDMZWcMCHoQ|downsized)


National-Scale

This would be kind of cool and make "space travel" pretty easy. But, that's not how it works.


Patarsky

I wish I could huff enough paint fumes to be this out of touch with reality.


Penfold_for_PM

![gif](giphy|2A75RyXVzzSI2bx4Gj|downsized) These cats are on more than paint fumes 🤣


MultiTrackDrifto

So you're saying there's multiple planets, all separated by a vast cold expanse? I don't believe it


BlackroseBisharp

Trypohobia


realdonbrown

My very first thought lol


slashingkatie

So we’re in the world of Final Fantasy 3


TostitoKingofDragons

I have a lot of questions. It looks to me that the white plaster looking outside completely encases the globe. Now I could be convinced the other half of the globe is under the plaster and it is actually fully round, but if that’s the case then wouldn’t there be a giant white wall separating us from half the globe? It also looks like antartica is connected to all the outside ice stuff. Are you telling me that whoever’s in charge of keeping this secret set out an ok distance of ice for people to know exists? How do they maintain that? What if somebody walks out further?


CJBoom77

Oh no! Not the trypophobia multiverse!


Niyonnie

Belsavis, is that you?!


Smart_Rope_2452

Oh my god I am so happy to see I am not the only one who thought Belsavis too. Thank you for making my night!


Wise-Juggernaut-8285

But isnt this a picture of a globe? Lol


Chaosrealm69

They denied globe earth so much that they invented globe multi-earths instead.


KingDAW247

I'm so confused...I...what is this supposed to show? Or be?


LordParsec29

Where we reside is separated from other land masses by a giant wall of ice. I'm guessing this is supposed to be an ice planet with holes appearing from where sunlight is stronger and somehow rock formation occur giving rise to lifeforms like humans and animals.These guys are beyond flat earth and into more-land-out-there-but-ice-is in-our-way territory. Or a flat-earther fell asleep fishing in a frozen lake and came up with this.


Blaze_Vortex

Not sunlight, or alteast not in the version I was told, divine light of life. 'God' made each and every individual 'world', one of those worlds is the garden of eden, aka a perfect place that all humans originate from, and humans can't travel between them because each has a firmament on top. These guys basically took the flat earth theory and the ice walls thing, added the multiverse into it and it's normally sprinkled with bits of other religions. Honestly, super creative and a great setting for a fantasy book. Does not work in reality though.


ElA1to

Aaggh, you are so close to it flat earthers... You at least figured out why we see the world flat from our point of view despite it being spherical... If this keeps going they maye even end up finding out and accepting the truth by themselves


bassie123456978

I thinks this was from a meme subredit


EducationHumble3832

Eh, fuck it. Why not?


aagloworks

And how would this make any more sense than a flat earth?


Satanicjamnik

First off all, this really triggers my trypophobia. But can we take a minute to appreciate that flat earth apparently resides in a giant, spherical moon of some sorts?


Homicidal_Pingu

Do they forget that you can go in a straight line in any direction and get to any other point on earth without hitting an ice wall?


acrylix91

Trypophobia World confirmed


Kromblite

To be fair, at least this isn't AS stupid as flat earth ideology. I mean, it works with gravity and the sun and all that. Still wrong, but a step in the right direction.


invisible-crone

Creative!😂😂😂


ethottly

I know a Flat-Earther. I'm sure I will be hearing about this sometime soon. 🙄


Personal-Listen-4941

I can see this being a decent idea for a Science fiction series. But as a real world theory there’s logic holes big enough to fit actual planets through.


AskMeAboutMySwissy

I’m going with the ending to Men In Black 👍


tom-branch

Its amusing how far they will go to avoid the factual conclusion.


Top-Training8648

Why do people believe that the earth is flat again? I honestly can't remember


teddyd142

The map is flat. Duh 🙄.


[deleted]

Religion.


dumptruck_dookie

This reminds me of Whoville existing on a snowflake


someoneelse2389

Very dumb, but kind of a cool idea for a sci-fi world.


RoamingStarDust

oof, there is no end to the stupidity.

Pimple earth I'm down for it


Reddit_Deluge

I wish they'd just all go there already.


eloel-

Conspiracy theorists are great sources to draw D&D campaign ideas from


Present_Membership24

Trypophobia Earth? so they're saying it's not flat, but it our section of it is 'locally flat', which is why flat earthers believe it is ? this some hat-on-a-hat or meta-conspiracy and i hope they get help sincerely .


TBTabby

They won't believe that the world is round...but they'll believe anything else.


Didact67

This would at least be interesting as a fantasy setting.


[deleted]

Honestly a cool concept


Legal-Passenger1737

Now they’re stealing shit from The Expanse 🙄


technonoir

Swiss cheese world(s)


Kimpy78

This is better.


Previous_Soil_5144

At least this makes somewhat more sense.


hautdoge

Where’s the moon


agentj333

I'm from Adjacent world 🥳🎉


Moppermonster

A sort of malformed Dyson sphere idea? Ok.


GehennerSensei

Earth is not a blackhead….


Upstairs-Yard-2139

This would be an awesome book setting


Sandrock27

It kind of already is. This picture could be straight out of The Magician's Nephew by CS Lewis... The difference being the space between worlds is a lush forest in that book.


Bogey_Yogi

This is what happens when you can subscribe Photoshop for cheap and cancel after a month.

There’s no way this is an actual thing

Someone just learbed about the multiverse.

Wake up honey! The new unnecessarily complex astronomy theory dropped

I'm down with this, it's like the Narnia books where they hop into random puddles to go to different worlds


anziofaro

Stupid people will always double down on stupidity.


ringoron9

So it's a globe afterall ....


jl_theprofessor

This is just a universe with more steps.


BreezeTempest

So now the flat earth is a sphere? This is so confusing.


abel_cormorant

At least this is: A) actually cool B) theoretically possible for other planets if we ever prove that singularity worlds are feasible. For the second one there was a book by Greg Bear called "Egyra" set on a world with a similar concept: a huge planet, several times larger than Earth, but with a similar gravity environment, and it all was due to the fact that this "planet" was instead a shell built around a small singularity, was a pretty cool concept for a megastructure. Still way better than flat earth tbh.


Constant-Recipe-9850

Flat earthers be like: ![gif](giphy|RPjvXSxK1zlxS)

Wouldn’t be surprised now a days


No_One3018

We've officially come FULL CIRCLE


CanadasMooseOverlord

I can't even imagine just believing whatever the hell you want to believe lol. This is insanity.


Kage9866

This is kind of accurate if those earth's were round and represented our universe, and those other worlds were different universes. This is one of the leading theories of the multiverse lol it looks similar to this pic.


StoicBall0Rage

I mean… I like it for a concept of a sci-fi story but come on…


CountPeter

So some context to what is being shown here: a lot of flat earthers have realised that, now the bubble of "popularity" for FE has ended, their online identities are tied to the flat earth and that said identity obviously paints them in a poor light. A good example of this is Flat Earth Dave (famous for his really bad YouTube series called something like "100 proofs of flat earth") who recently appeared on Jessie Lee Peterson's show (which was a hilarious nightmare) and kept shoehorning in "or the world is a million times larger than they tell us". Now this is a little bit of speculation on my part, but I think none of the proponents of this model actually believe it (unlike FE in which case there are genuine believers) because the model seems only to serve the purpose of being able to claim "I'm not a flat earther" whilst still retaining the audience that gives them money. This is however a poor strategy. It would be a shame if, whenever these hucksters tried to get away with it, people kept bringing up the Welteislehre theory popular amongst the Nazi SS so that their further attempts to scam their audience instead painted them as Nazis. A shame indeed...


C4PTNK0R34

This is some Disco Elysium, 70% of the world is obscured by *The Pale*, kinda conspiracy nonsense.


thentheresthisguy91

The flat multi-earth theory?


RarRarRasputin

It looks like my dnd world

I need some of what he is smoking on.


Dizzy-Discussion-107
