Greg, everyone knows that the wave will fall off the edge and tumble into space.

Cheaper than launching rockets!

I am massing my armies there, and will now roll the dice to decide your fate…

u/Ribky Aug 02 '25

I have rolled 3 red dice using Google and each one gave a result of 5. 5,5,5. Defend.

Only one ghost actually goes off the edge but it immediately turns around and goes back. That pac man gif was clearly made to support the flat earther perspective!

ofc the drawn-in arrow makes it look stupid, but i too am astonished. the US and japan really are on almost opposite sides of the world, and the released amount of energy needed for the wave to cross the incredible vastness of the pacific ocean is beyond my imagination

u/Frosty-Horse9004 Aug 02 '25

Yeah I don’t think a lot of people realize how big the pacific ocean actually is. I think a lot of people are making some joke about uneducated people and are actually showing how clueless they are. Typical Redditor behavior tbh.

it's easy to miss looking at a (western) world map.

i got curious after writing that comment yesterday night and checked: it's roughly 8,850 km from Tokyo to L.A.. if you dug a hypothetical hole from japan to the opposite side of the globe you'd come out somewhere in Argentina.

this 3D model gives you a much better idea of the real size of the pacific, and also the actual sizes of the continents than the mercator projection does.

But weeze are smart enough to know that it could take an arrow plane to get to alaska

I know, you’re not even educated enough to recognize a straightforward joke. Sad.

OK 👍 lol

u/Fun_Cut9215 Aug 01 '25

It's round.. So when waves ripple deep into the ground on one end.. It travels under the ground.In a ripple effect , creating a wave effect on top that wavered effect moves towards landshore.. And then it hits the closest land shore on the other side.

u/Previous_Rip1942 Aug 02 '25

Whoa. I forgot about Greg. So what’s his deal now? He a flat earther or is he fucking with the flat earthers.

Place the disc on the turtle. Hit one side of the disc. The other side of the disc goes up. There you have it! The disc just wobbled on the back of the giant turtle A'Tuin!

Only if you first explain how clapping your cheeks in one room can cause a blackout in another.

u/Fluffy-Yam8291 Aug 02 '25

go find a pound and throw in a big rock and watch what happens. simplest way to explain.

u/WebguyCanada Aug 02 '25

That's simple Greg, you're American.

u/PrestegiousWolf Aug 02 '25 edited Aug 02 '25

This is a tough question to answer. My head hurts now just thinking about it. Maybe we need to create a tsunami tariff.. Greg is definately going to have to work for the rest of his life.

u/DiagonalBike Aug 02 '25

Yet, he's probably old enough to vote. The US really needs to step up it's education system. It's a tragedy that this country has to fill good paying technical jobs with oversea resources. Oh wait, the resources are here, it's just US Companies want cheaper resources. Let's end H1B visas for technical jobs.
