Water mountains : memes

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 77 points 2 years ago (4 children)

One of my kids calls water fountains water mountains.. I assume from just mishearing the word. The first time he said it I went to correct him and then I'm like it does look like a water mountain so fuck it we'll go with that. Now the whole family only refers to them us water mountains.

And oddly there is another misheard word another of my kids used that we've all adopted, this kid said his tshirt was skin side out instead of inside out. Again I went to correct him and thought no he is right too, so now clothes are skin side out or skin side in.

I also have a few of these. My favourite daughter when she was a toddler she used to call road trains "Big DIE!".

My favourite daughter

Busted

Oops, I really messed up that sentence. Well, she is my favourite anyway 😁

Probably the thing I miss most about reddit is being able to easily find and laugh at these kinds of exchanges.

Too much sanity on lemmy... I miss the conspiracy subs.

[–] Lininop@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

Go to most of the political subs on lemmy and you'll find plenty of brain dead takes

The !flatearth@lemmy.ml community has some unironic (I think) posts in there if you scroll a few posts down.

They're talking about the horizon.

have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you'll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.

[–] Tbird83ii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.

When a ship gets far away and you only see the top half, it's behind a flat Earth water mountain.

What's he not getting?

[–] ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 2 years ago

No silly waves are on land. Have you ever heard of earth's largest wave? Wave Everest. A lot of people climb it every year. Sometimes they call them land waves to distinguish them further from water mountains.

These people are so dumb, they aren’t “water mountains”, they are Lands with the subtypes Island and Mountain, meaning they can tap for blue or red mana.

Just run to the edge then.

[–] alternative_factor@kbin.social 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They'd just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard..
Seriously, do you even do your own research?

[–] kurogane@lm.helilot.com 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd play the hell out of this videogame.

You mean if he ever gets past security.

America doesn't have the resources to watch effectively the border with Mexico, but they can guard the full earth "circumference"... AAAAND keep everyone quiet about it.

I actually had a guy come into a store I used to work in, he came around closing.. guy would not leave until I heard his salespitch about the flat earth...

A week later I learned he called corporate who demanded I be fired over refusing to hear him out. Manager told me he had no choice, fire me or get fired and have the replacement fire me.

It worked out though, Travis eventually left and the new manager couldn't get anyone to stay... when he found my old file and how long I stayed he offered my job back.

I had found something closer, easier, and higher paying so I just laughed the offer off. I love my new gig

[–] zigmus64@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?

Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.

the existence of water mountains implies the existence of forest, fire, shadow and spirit mountains

What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.

[–] peto@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago

This has been disproved. We live on a globe in an experimental non-magical universe kept at a university run by wizards who live on a disc held up by four elephants on the book of the Great Atuin.

[–] r3nder@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually there were five elephants, but one lost its footing, entered an unstable orbit and came hurtling through space, smashing into the Disc and causing the mountains to rise.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A SHIP DISAPPEAR ?

WATER MOUNTAINS

[–] bappity@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (2 children)

....waves?

[–] narp@feddit.de 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I think it's their counter-argument to:

"If earth is really flat, why do ships disappear behind the oceans horizon?"

"Water mountains"

[–] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

Earth curvature

Water mountains sound so fun that I'll choose to believe in them. Also ball eath but in combination with water mountains

We do have water volcanoes at least. Someone just named them geysers. Tho I'm fairly sure that vulcanic activity disproves flat earth.

This is an image of power towers gradually getting shorter and shorter because they have to squeeze into the water tunnel that runs through the water mountain.

Bro, shut up, you're making us look like a bunch of round earthers.

I know it's really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by "gerwin" screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.

There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn't appear to be one of them.

(Googling for "water mountain" just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)
