To ask ‘where’s the edge?’

Of the flat earth, according to ‘flat earthers’?

Someone I know appears to have fallen down a flat-earth rabbit hole and it got me thinking about what on earth she’s thinking! I daren’t ask (for fear of saying the wrong thing like don’t be so fucking stupid).

So - where’s the edge/s? What happens at the edge/s? Is there a protective rim like a baking tray, or is it smooth like glass and a H&S nightmare?

Why is the edge not a massive tourist destination with bungee jumping and abseiling?

If you fall off, where do you go?

Are we still floating in space, just ‘flat’? What about the other planets, are they still round or flat as well?

I know I could google, but I’m worried I might fall down the same rabbit hole, and I’ve got to make dinner, so I’ve no time for that!

Flat earthers cannot agree on which flat earth there is.

There is either an ice wall around the edge, or there is an ice wall with the secret lands past the wall, or there is no edge but the end of the dome that is over the earth

@Furlane - thanks for the link, it’s an interesting read 😆

@FeliciaFancybottom 😂 love this! As a cat owner I completely agree! Maybe the icebergs aren’t melting, but are disappearing because snow leopards, aka big cats, are pushing them off the edge!
