Thank god for global warming fixing this! We'll achieve normalcy soon enough

[-] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 week ago

Too bad nuclear winter will cancel it out.

"Just like daddy pits in his dwink every morning... and then he gets mad."

Thus solving the problem once and for all

[-] Draconic_NEO@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

That would raise the sea level almost as fast, and probably more than if the polar ice caps just melted on their own. Also didn't it come from a comet? Last I checked comet ice isn't the cleanest ice, it's full of fun stuff like ammonia, cyanide, and formaldehyde.

Okay, okay, alright, somebody, someone somewhere....

You have to tell me, how the fuck do they make money from being intentionally stupid?

How the fuck?

There's no way they're doing this by accident.

There's no way they're actually this stupid.

There has to be an angle.

What the fuck is the angle?

How the fuck are they funding their lives by saying shit like this?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 26 points 1 week ago

Garbage in, garbage out

[-] davetortoise@reddthat.com 13 points 1 week ago

Combination of targeted oil money bribery + whipping up tribalism, some explicitly sell their souls while others tie their self-worth to a lie

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Having followers is a path to monetizing new lies against them in the future... best I've got.

[-] enphurgen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Selling "secret knowledge" to stupid people has always been a profitable grift

[-] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The angle is having an ingroup. Build a community around absolutely anything and people will come, just so they can belong. Flat earth is just one of these. Flerfers are funny because it's so absurd, but the same psychology is at play for e.g. the manosphere, local sports teams and anything else if you look hard enough.
And they pay the bills via advertising. Another win for capitalism. Yay.

[-] kartoffelsaft@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Apparently twitter has a system where they'll pay you for posts with a lot of attention, regardless of it's quality. Pays less than minimum wage but some do it full time anyways.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

what's the angle

They want to make people suspicious of those who tell them that this year is the hottest since we started keeping records, and that is a big fucking problem that will probably cost us every low lying country and every coastal city and every beach

In Kim Stanley Robinson's near future sci-fi people dredge up the old beaches to build new beaches

[-] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

I'm convinced none of these people actually believe this stuff and they just think they are being funny

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

Engagement bait. Algorithm recommends them to more people. They get more money from ads.

Oh yes, Eastern Brazil was a rusty red plain in the early colonial era

[-] potatoguy@mbin.potato-guy.space 30 points 1 week ago

That Terra Australis going wild in there, or is it the flat earth walls?

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Walls. And a few rivers before they froze over as the sun got dimmer with all the 19^th^ century soot.

[-] Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 week ago

also this map aint 500 years old. That sure looks like north america to me

[-] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago

They don't want you to know about the lost expedition of 1524. This map is the only surviving evidence of when the famous explorer from Genoa The Barone Giusseppe Palloncino took his high altitude hot air balloon over the entire northern hemisphere.

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 week ago

If you're so smart Mr. Smarty Pants then tell me this: Who invented snow, then? If you say Thomas Jefferson, then you're wrong, he invented traffic lights, doofus.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

The famous red wastes of Brazil.

[-] drmoodmood@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago

I honestly thought this was a picture of a dirty dinner plate.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

My brother in Amerigo Vespucci, there are maps from 500 years ago that show sea serpents on them. Are those real, too?

[-] Photonic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

They all froze to death from all the snow of course. Geez do you even conspiracy theory bro?

[-] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not anymore... 😢

I see four white rectangles there. If that's not proof of snow, then I don't know what to tell you.

[-] Midnitte@beehaw.org 11 points 1 week ago

Man, I cant believe someone left the Antarctic freezer on for 500 years.

[-] MoonMelon@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

I know it's a shitpost but my mind immediately goes to Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

[-] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It also doesn't melt! They just add it to the ice wall around the 'known world' or make ice cream from it

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

We all know map making was far superior 500 years ago. Those satellites only messed things up.

[-] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

"Ice? There's never been any ice! Ice is just a myth."

[-] wer2@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Finally! A map that disproves New Zealand.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

To be a winter child in this hot girl summer age, it wounds me!

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Sure. But don't call me "500 year old map". #commaSplice

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 week ago

Imagine a world without cocaine, vast, continent-covering amounts ...

[-] megopie@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

They had to build a really tall ladder to get this view. Quite the project.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

what cured ass projection is this?

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Then what are the white sections of land on the top right and left?

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You leave my cocaine alone.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 week ago

I believe you mean our cocaine, comrade.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Snow is unnatural.
