Flat earth would be so cool if it was just sci-fantasy authors and not weird, return to christandom, anti-modernity types.
So, the Discworld. Yes, it is very cool.
They really do ruin everything
There’s some really amazing world building that’s been done with flat-earth art as a springboard
Can’t remember the name, but there’s one with concentric circles separated by ice walls with landmasses named after different mythologies’ deities. There’s a whole community built around writing lore for each landmass

Michael Marshall Smith does this theme, only different.
Even old Christians knew the earth was a sphere. The “Catholics believe the earth is flat” was something said by someone AGAINST Catholics, not because it was true.
The return to christandom thing is just something they say, it’s not exactly true.
They knew for sure. They just didn’t know much about the layout and mechanics of the solar system. The Earth centric model was the thing. But only because they didn’t have good enough tools to observe otherwise. When they got better telescopes and mathematics, learned better.

Why a sphere? Why not a torus?
Don’t be silly, it’s Turtles all the way down, not bulls
We could use a lady of pain around here…
I loves me some touruses…If I could make that doughnut in Blender I would spend all day just doing that.
It’s the “possibly hollow” for me
It would have to be, else the whole thing would be so massive, it would risk collapsing into a star. Except stars are smaller than planets in that picture, so never mind.
Why would the very center of the melted puddle also be just as cold and frozen as the edges?
The Sun orbits around the center, but its hottest side always faces away. That’s why seasons happen
Shhhh honey, we don’t use logic here. Just let it happen.
i love it, i’m in
If this is true, then why does my wife want to leave me for Devin from her work?
He has a big dick.
Devin knows the truth.
Flat Devin theory. How much is a bulldozer?
His balls aren’t hollow.
OK, I love the big ice ball theory. However, I think the big ice ball might actually be flat. Idk would make more sense to me.
but that flat ice ball is on a ball of lava
And in fact this is not a lava but just a floor
gonna tell my children that this was the snowball earth hypothesis
This is probably what it felt like to the first explorers trying to cross either pole.
So you’re saying it’s a sphere…
Wait, they believe it’s a sphere of ice but not of rock?
so were just a bunch of apes duking it out on a giant disco ball essentially…

…This is just Mistborn.
Or Disco Elysium for the multiple earths option.
Wait what? What did mistborn have that was like this? My memory of era 1 is a little foggy and I assume that’s when you’re talking about
IIRC, the habitable region of Era 1 was essentially a radius around the north pole.
Oh I don’t remember that detail, thanks. For some reason I thought the ashmounts were at the equator and everybody was clustered around those - I might need a reread just to brush up on the world building lol
Are they progressing forward… or backward?
Hollow earth theory was also a thing.
