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.
its fun as hell in Valhiem
Ha I should have known someone else here would have the same first thought as I did. Didn’t turn out so well for me and my buddy though - our stuff and our boat is still somewhere in the void.
many laughs and screams to be had. build a base and drop your stuff off. catapult from mountains nearby for epic shenanigans
