      They claim that’s what Antarctica is. Although this is the first time I’ve seen any of them say what’s on the other side of the ice wall.

      The funny thing is that this is actual flat earth lore. And no, you can’t just go there and see it, because the government won’t let you, you’ll die, you just turn around and just forgot what you saw. Depending on your local flat earthers.
      I really like how similar to religion it is. Yeah, when you die you go to heaven, you juat have to trust me bro.

    They say that they only believe what they see themselves and yet they make up things like that that have never been seen by anyone ever.

    That volume of ice wouldn’t allow any sort of liquid water to be on the surface. Everything will be frozen.

    Then again we’re dealing with Flat Earthers…

    Also, it’s hilarious that their depiction of the megaplanet is spherical as well.

      A large subset of flat earthers believe the world is surrounded by ice walls that THEY don’t want you to know about and won’t let you see. The bathtub is just representing that container of ice.

      Because demonstrating solidity needs to happen, obviously.

      I’m pretty sure this is trolling though. I refuse to believe the Ice Wall Mega Earth subset is real.

        Watch the documentary Behind the Curve. All of these flat Earth nuts are sincere. To the point of spending a lot of their money on “proving” it.

          My favorite scene is when the 2 flat earthers visit NASA. They are in a simulator making fun of it cause it won’t start for them, and as they walk away the camera zooms in on a giant “start” button they both managed to miss.

    Is there any chance the emojis mean they’re not serious?

    But yeah, like others have said, it would be pretty wild if true. I’d definitely read a (fiction) novel with that premise.
