I really don’t think dinosaurs were properly real and I’m not sure that the earth is proper round

It makes my brain hurt so I’m just not going to try.

Absolutely. Why would a loving god create a fruit that is only delicious with the addition of about a million extra calories?

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 10/03/2018 11:05

There you go. Conclusive scientific proof.

SpeverendRooner · 10/03/2018 11:06

Tis' the most inappropriate place to use the dear old MN put-down....

Why is it inappropriate? The OP is either an idiot (you can test predictions of the spherical Earth in your back garden with kit worth about £2.50 if you're so inclined) or pretending to be one. Either way, she's calling thousands of people liars - either because she genuinely believes it or just for laughs. Don't you think that's rude?

I've just solved the 'what's on the other side of the flat earth' problem. It's a mobius strip, one of those things that has only one side.

Sits back and awaits Nobel prize.

“Anyway. I digress. Dinosaurs, satsumas, bathrooms in Ancient Greek ruins. All someone else’s imagination.”

I believe in satsumas. I ate one once.

QueenOfThorns · 10/03/2018 13:09

I believe in narwhals because I have some socks with them on. I don’t think they’re actually sparkly though.

CowesTwo · 10/03/2018 13:24

OP, what are your two degrees in?

wakemeupbefore · 10/03/2018 14:05

Rooner, your dear self and your kind keepthe marvellous and sadly so very rare threads, like this one, rolling...

Go'on, go'on, go'on..........

So Earth is mobious flat sphere/square, triangle/shapless thingy.

SomethingNarstyInTheWoodshed · 10/03/2018 14:36

I’m not calling people who believe in dinosaurs liars. Just a bit simple and deluded.
My degrees are in Very Important Stuff and I’m really quite good at what I do and that has nothing to do with rocks or numbers and other confusing imagined stuff. You don’t actually need to believe in everything to do Important Stuff.

Funny how nobody on Mumsnet ever has one degree. Always two, if not three and at least one from Oxbridge.............

SomethingNarstyInTheWoodshed · 10/03/2018 14:53

Neither from oxbridge and both from ex-polys Grin

SomethingNarstyInTheWoodshed · 10/03/2018 14:56

Polys? Polies?

I have no degrees and didn't even finish college. 😆

AlpacaLypse · 10/03/2018 15:02

Is it the White Queen who believed in six impossible things before breakfast?

SomethingNarstyInTheWoodshed · 10/03/2018 15:04

Red I think alpaca

As a side-note, unless those two bloody rabbits stop bouncing and twirling about on the right here, I will shoot some in the garden tonight.

AlpacaLypse · 10/03/2018 16:20

Mmm rabbit stew...

Slanetylor · 10/03/2018 16:26

It amuses me no end when simple deluded people think people who are not simple and deluded are simple and deluded.

geekone · 10/03/2018 16:51

Hang on, hang on no one has mentioned Australia! Do we believe in Australia or is it a big rouse?

I think I would like the earth to be cone shaped that way from space it will still look round (from at least 2 vantage points)

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 10/03/2018 17:52

Australia has to exist because I've met actual Australians. My best friend is one.

RosaDeZoett · 10/03/2018 17:58

My best friend is a sparkly Narwhal. That doesn't mean they exist....

Yes but it’s a myth that it’s the other side of the world. Planes are just simulators made up by evil atheist scientists intent on perpetuating the hoax of a spherical earth... If the earth really was round Australians would be upside down and fall off wouldn’t they! Yet we’re so in thrall to the ‘scientific’ myth that we don’t even notice the obvious!
