What people don't realize is that these levels are built with a barely-perceptible curve to match the shape of the Earth.

See, this is why I post stupid shit like this. One, for the comments, and two, for info like this. Thank you kind stranger π βΊοΈ.
Just in case you are serious (canβt say for sure on internet) - he wasnβt.
Of course I wasn't π.
A level would have to be unwieldy large before it would have to account for that. Thats completely made up.
Yeah well I'm an ant, that is unweildy large for me
That's what she said
As Gandalf said:
"If you compare an Ant to a Level, a Human will go its whole life thinking the Earth is flat."
Proof the earth is flat:
Is this Loss?
No it's ground
Has a landscape as well... nice touch.
Then why is the bubble curved and not flat.
Checkmate flerthers!
It still makes me laugh all our building's paths and stuff like that are judged by a floating air bubble in a coloured liquid.
And lasers, and gps
Unless your building or infrastructure was built after they became a thing, everything else, air bubble.
My building, definitely. It's built in 1965 π.
And theodolites.
Now do it with a 15,000 mile long level.
TAKE THIS GLOBEHEADS
FLAT EARTHERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE LAUGHING AT YOU
Oh well, at least both sides are laughing.
Any spirit level is simply a measure of its tangent with centre of mass of the earth on its plane. I can use the same technique to prove a tennis ball is flat, I can prove thin air is flatβ¦.
Woahhhβ¦. What if, everything is flatβ¦. Duuuuude.
Well, that settles that I guess. Letβs argue about politics or religion insteadβ¦
GOD, NO, PLEASE, NO, DON'T!
Can you spare a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Runs away Forest Gump style
Another time then?
It is an argument about religion.
Okay.
Lays down another level next to it.
I think this just means that they installed earth on a good angle.
Turn a bowl upside-down and slap this bad boy on top of it. Boom, proof the bowl is a plate.
Welp, can't argue against that. Ya finally converted me.

@0x4E4F have you finally repented, or are you exhibiting your ignorance?
The world is level
