Listen, Susan. It's a valid theory, just look at the damn thing.

      It wood be really cool.

      Sadly it’s the other way around. Tree stumps are nothing but small rock formations. Hiw disaplointing.

    Those giant trees had to be cut because the earth was risking turning upside down from the weight.

    Giant earth theory is wild. I followed a guy on Reddit who had some absolutely insane videos “teaching” the subject. He also thought multiplication was a lie because if you do 5x5 by counting your fingers 5 times you still only have 5 fingers.

      I’d say he’s trolling but Terryology is apparently serious so anything goes.

      Or maybe he’s just amazing at the bit. He is an actor…

        I’m every dumb movement you have the tucker carlsons that say shit they don’t belive in, the trumps completely demented even lower iq and truly believe those things they say. And who ever the hell are the monkeys that whatched it.

        If he was an actor he was performing for an insanely small audience. This guy was legit some of his videos were years old with less than 10 views.

      But like… so what? What does this add to the flat earth “theory”? Like, okay there were really, really big trees once. Now what?

      I know I’m looking for logic where it doesn’t exist, but this really baffles me.

        I’ll see if his YouTube channel is still up so you can get the crazy sauce straight from the tap. Be warned, it is difficult to find a cohesive thought let alone any logic.

    Ah yes, all natural phenomena including checks notes the one where someone cut down a tree with a chainsaw

    my brother thinks mountains are fossilised giants.

      I had a friend that i guess I slowly drove away by always calling him on his bullshit and amongst the thousands of insane things he did and believed, he legitimately thought that there used to be giants roaming the Earth and he would argue this point intensely.

    Wow does anyone know where that first picture comes from? That mountain range looks like someone just jammed a bunch of glass shards into the ground!

      Pretty sure that’s the Cerro Torre in Patagonia :D

        I need to go check those out. The Peruvian Andes are an experience for sure.

      Looks like Cerro Torre. That specific image appears to be a mirrored version of a photo from an Outside article that features Cerro Torre.

    Can you imagine the size of the chain saw!!?

    source
    • PainInTheAES@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Is a quasar not just a giant chain saw? Are spiral galaxies not just giant sawblades? It’s giant trees all the way down, baby. Checkmate, Arborists.

      No need to overthink a meme, but here’s my guess.

      They’re correlating the shapes of the objects, implying some causation.

      There isn’t.

      Just be happy that you don’t get it. There are flat earthers out there who will say it unironically. Not sure if it’s only flat earthers but I think so. It really is wild

    Wow, that’s awesome. I’ve been thinking a lot about the scale of the universe and how cyclical it is.

    Take a scaled out view of our solar system and then compare it to a molecules composition (the atom or group of atoms surrounded by protons and neutrons) and the similarities are just uncanny.

    Like this image, what’s to say that we aren’t just part of a molecule making up the chemical composition of something far larger than ourselves. An ant has no concept of the vast empty space between the United States and Europe, we know that is the case between solar systems but our actual understanding of our relationship in space is limited.

    P.S. look at the patterns of discharge of electricity in wood/paper/stone and then look at the patterns of the Grand Canyon. They’re the same! And the Grand Canyon is the only formation we have that exhibits this quality, which makes it extra interesting.

      Nah, the planetary model of the atom is outdated. The quantum model doesn’t look very much like a solar system.

      It’s actually fractal patterns. They always emerge in nature if you look at the right scale.
