I just saw some joke/post about flat earthers menacing badly behaving people with taking them over the edge. But what if this was actually really fun? Essentially you'd be in freefall without having to use a rocket to go to space! You could also throw yourself out with everything that is needed to build a civilisation in space and live your fullest science fiction dreams without the hardships of actually reaching space.
This is ofc a big thought experiment based on the earth being flat, and there are many variables that can make the experience of jumping over the edge more or less fun. Maybe hitting the surface of the first turtle would hurt ("turtles all the way down" hypothesis), but then... maybe pating the cosmic turtle on the head is very fullfulling.
During the pandemic, discord has been a lifeline for me and I did not find alternatives that had a specific feature that may appear irrelevant but that I found deeply comforting: When people are hanging out in a vocal channel, you can see them. It was not much, but it was the closest we had to going to university and seeing groups of friends just chilling together.
There are many other platforms for text and vocal chats, but this is a feature I am still looking for.
Prove me wrong !
