One of my kids calls water fountains water mountains.. I assume from just mishearing the word. The first time he said it I went to correct him and then I'm like it does look like a water mountain so fuck it we'll go with that. Now the whole family only refers to them us water mountains.

And oddly there is another misheard word another of my kids used that we've all adopted, this kid said his tshirt was skin side out instead of inside out. Again I went to correct him and thought no he is right too, so now clothes are skin side out or skin side in.

    I also have a few of these. My favourite daughter when she was a toddler she used to call road trains "Big DIE!".

    My family has one of those. Our oldest would say hanitizer instead of hand sanitizer. We started correcting him but eventually realized that it's more efficient and everyone knows what he's talking about. I actually use it outside the family too. No issues, only chuckles when I explain the story.

    Probably the thing I miss most about reddit is being able to easily find and laugh at these kinds of exchanges.

    Too much sanity on lemmy... I miss the conspiracy subs.

    have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you'll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.

    These people are so dumb, they aren’t “water mountains”, they are Lands with the subtypes Island and Mountain, meaning they can tap for blue or red mana.

    They'd just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard..
    Seriously, do you even do your own research?

    You mean if he ever gets past security.

    America doesn't have the resources to watch effectively the border with Mexico, but they can guard the full earth "circumference"... AAAAND keep everyone quiet about it.

    I actually had a guy come into a store I used to work in, he came around closing.. guy would not leave until I heard his salespitch about the flat earth...

    A week later I learned he called corporate who demanded I be fired over refusing to hear him out. Manager told me he had no choice, fire me or get fired and have the replacement fire me.

    It worked out though, Travis eventually left and the new manager couldn't get anyone to stay... when he found my old file and how long I stayed he offered my job back.

    I had found something closer, easier, and higher paying so I just laughed the offer off. I love my new gig

    So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?

    Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.

    Well I got good news for you. This isn't a planet. It's a giant rug thats's floating in space propelled by genie's dark matter astro-projection that moves us at 9.8 meters/sec² and our world was created by an entity named God who's 3 wishes to the genie was 1. to create this magnificient space rug to house 2. the people that will be spawned created on this wonderful place and will 3. forever worship God and his Magnificient Space Rug and that non-believers will have to suffer their entire life believing in the Round-Earth Conspiracy.

    Thank God™ for helping us realize the truth. 🤓

    the existence of water mountains implies the existence of forest, fire, shadow and spirit mountains

    Flat Earth? Fucking idiots. The Earth is obviously a Giant Magical Space Rug propelled by Genie's Dark Matter Astro-Projection moving teleporting at 9.8 m/s² 🤓

    What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.

    This has been disproved. We live on a globe in an experimental non-magical universe kept at a university run by wizards who live on a disc held up by four elephants on the book of the Great Atuin.

    We do have water volcanoes at least. Someone just named them geysers. Tho I'm fairly sure that vulcanic activity disproves flat earth.

    This is an image of power towers gradually getting shorter and shorter because they have to squeeze into the water tunnel that runs through the water mountain.

    I know it's really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by "gerwin" screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.

    There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn't appear to be one of them.

    (Googling for "water mountain" just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)
