The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there'd be a door or something.

You’ve actually never walked a step in your entire life. Only, the memory of having just completed the final step of walking to your current position is injected into your mind and continuously updated. This avoids the need for an infinitely large flat surface.

When you move, you actually stay in the same coords (0,0,0) and the world is moved around, avoid bugs with lost precision at large values. Twinkling stars? Glitches in the rendering of far away objects

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
