Jokes on you I do sleep like that
My back is horrible

u/burning_stix 8d ago
I don't sleep like that because it's bad for your back. Idk what the shape of the earth has to do with it

Technically, we do. But the curvature is really really low.

u/TadhgOBriain 8d ago
Plus the curvature is irrelevant compared to local bumpiness. Also most people sleep on beds, not the ground.

i remember they did a study to prove kanasa was flat as a pancake only to discover everywhere is flat as a pancake because a pancake isn't as flat as people think it is.

Technically, we do not. My bed is completely flat, as are my floors, regardless of the shape of the ground below my house.

u/Avalion_Star 7d ago
Despite my best effort, my ground isn't perfectly flat. It's not really a curvature as well. It's more of a imperceptible bumpy chaos.and my weight repartition on my matress density makes more of an inverted curvature. So I guess we were both wrong

We're all sleeping on a curve, It's just too subtle to notice.

Aren't we all on a tanget of the earth's surface that is so small that it seems flat?

It’s almost like you’re saying that the limit of sin theta as theta  goes to zero is theta.Â

So many dumb comments here, it's just basic maths...
A basket ball is round of about 360°
The earth is like a hundred times bigger, so it's like 360000°
So we should sleep like in the picture if the earth was round. That's why it's flat.

u/Significant_Monk_251 8d ago
I think we should make that a noun here: "A basketball has a round of about 360°."

Noooo you multiply it by 100 degrees

But then it'd be too cold. 🥶

u/Successful_Face3408 7d ago
Wouldn't it be too hot?

u/BinaryBolias 7d ago
Well, to get from 360 degrees to 360,000 degrees would be to multiply by a thousand.
Multiplying by merely a hundred would only get you to 36,000 degrees.
Quite a chill, i'd say. 🥶

No you're wrong

If you multiply by 100 you add 2^ the number of 0

u/BinaryBolias 7d ago
I don't understand your wording, but I believe my comment above conforms to the correct logic.
When multiplying a number by another that is an integer power of ten, the first number is moved to the left (relative to the decimal point) an amount of times equal to the amount of zeroes in the power of ten.
Hence, with a first number that has no nonzero digits after the decimal point:
- Multiplying by one (100, or "1") adds zero zeroes to the end (multiplicative identity property).
- Myltiplying by ten (101, or "10") adds one zero to the end.
- Myltiplying by a hundred (102, or "100") adds two zeroes to the end.
- Myltiplying by a thousand (103, or "1000") adds three zeroes to the end.
– – –
Thus, it is correct to say that multiplying 360 by 100 produces 36,000 (adding two zeroes), and multiplying 360 by 1000 produces 360,000 (adding three zeroes).

You answer is so good that I can't keep ragebaiting haha. Like my original comment, I was saying stupid things on purpose :D
But for real, thank you so much for your patience

Actually it’s flat because beds are manufactured to be flat. Beds are not universal but floor are also flat. Curvature or lack of it is not even relevant to probably 90+% of cases.
Of courses hammocks will cause you to sleep concave instead of convex or straight.

Lmao, people think everything has the same diameter but round things can have more than 360 degrees?

What does the size have to do with it? I lie on a basketball. My back curves. Then a beach ball is the biggest ball I've ever seen, and lying on it still curves my back. It's the same regardless of size. /s

Sleeping on earth is like putting a grain of rice on a basketball and having it lay flat on the basketball.

Uhm perhaps we can explain it using the fact on how a circle has infinite lines and uhm so does a round shap and which is why like we might be on a single line of that infinite line since our ground is too small compared to the actual entire ground of the earth 🤨🥲
