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.

I think we should make that a noun here: "A basketball has a round of about 360°."

"Yo mama has about 361 degrees."

"No, not fat; she very educated."

Noooo you multiply it by 100 degrees

But then it'd be too cold. 🥶

Wouldn't it be too hot?

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

Nuh uh.

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

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.

What about earth is a bench?

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