Uhh what?
Randomly arranged
Yeah, kinda like a salad. I like mine with ranch dressing, personally.
I’m not so sure
On that we can agree.
For the OOP I have a quote I like to refer to at times like this: "What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
This is the only response.
Ah, good ol' Billy Madison
My head hurts
With some pictures
Never been a word salad kind of guy.
Have you tried it with whackadoo dressing? <mwah!>
Of all the words, these were definitely some.
Barely
Some of the words of all time
Words, yes, in a sensible order...I am not convinced.
Oh good, it wasn't just me. I thought I was having flashbacks of that one time I dropped acid
Gravity certainly is electrical. That’s why batteries float away when they are flat.
I mean, technically they do weigh less when discharged/dead... So maybe they're onto something
/s
That’s why batteries float away when they are flat.
That whimsical, fun-loving part of me is saddened that this is not actually the case.
please don't throw empty batteries into rivers or oceans.
What about creeks and ponds? Where are we on those?
No, stick to the rivers and lakes that you’re used to.
Take my angry upvote
This guy doesn’t chase waterfalls
I think they point that they are trying to make is that volcanos wouldn't work on a globe, because all gravity should work like the gravity of a black hole, an inescapable void where travel away from it is impossible.
Like bro you can jump gravity ain't that strong
That's pretty much their entire gripe about gravity.
"But clouds and butterflies and jumpeeeeeng!"
Ah right, I expected consistency from a subculture defined by their idiocy
"Gravity is weak! Butterflies fly and they are feeble!"
We are stronger than butterflies, but we can't fly. Odd, that.
Yep
The thing is if it's posed as a question I have no problem with it.
Sure they should have been exposed to the answer before if they are adults and it speaks to an understanding of the world that is going to be hard to update but if asked earnestly it's much like planting a tree the best time was twenty years ago and the second best was today.
It's commendable it's just that it's so rarely an earnest question.
I mean they aren’t wrong. Gravity is the weakest force in physics.
"Why don't oceans take off since birds and bees can fly???"
Oceans. Don't. Have. Wings.
They can’t even jump to a logical conclusion.
Hah, nice
Yeah, they don’t have a jump to conclusions mat
Million dollar idea.
I can jump. therefore, gravity doesn't exist/ j
Yeah, again, forgot for a second that flerfs have a consistency about on par with their intelligence
My 4 year old could explain to them why they’re wrong about volcanoes (she’s obsessed with them, among other things.) What’s more: her explanation would actually be easier to follow than that… combination of words? Not sure what to call it.
Except on Wednesdays!
They claim that if gravity existed nothing could move upwards.
They need to understand that volcanoes erupting have similar physics to popping a pimple. All the stuff stays in your face, but if you put enough pressure it explodes out of the weakest point.
And like water, things will try to follow the path pre-established, for ease
There are multiple r/brandnewsentece s in this post
Shit doesn’t even make sense
In another news: water is wet
Maybe water is electric
With eels in it, it certainly is
Shocking!
So water is Eelectric?
Next on tap: waves aren’t real because of, you know, gravity pulling everything down
"Waves aren't real! Water always finds its own level! Wake up, sheeple!"
I know this is probably bait, but…
Water is electric, slightly
Just a touch of dipole, nothing serious
The tides have an equal opposite reaction, so electrical theory of water is confirmed.
tl;dr I find "water isn't wet" frustrating from a linguistic perspective. I think people should more often have the perspective that words mean what people use them to mean, I think prescriptivism for the sake of prescriptivism is unreasonable, and I think "water isn't wet" is reflective of larger views on language that I dislike and view as unproductive.
I dislike that whole thing from a linguistic perspective. I don't think it is incorrect to say that water is wet.
When people argue that water isn't wet (or, rather, that it is wrong to call water wet), they are often using one specific scientific definition of "wet" and ignoring that, when used in a common setting, "wet" often refers to the capability of something to make something else wet.
People often say "x thing isn't y definition" to mean that they think that x shouldn't be called y, but appeal to one definition despite the existence of other common uses, isn't a good argument. Those uses include ones that are more phrasal where the words meaning can be narrowed down based on the context; when someone calls water "wet", they definitely mean that water has the capability to make them wet, not that they think that the water is a solid that has a liquid maintaining contact with it via intermolecular forces (I suppose maybe they could mean that, thought, if the water is frozen? idk).
Which brings me to another thing; some people see others calling water "wet" as a failure of others to understand science, when in reality, this is a different meaning of the word "water" that is common enough to be fine from a linguistically cooperative perspective; when someone says "water is wet", most people understand what they mean by that and are not confused.
I know I might be taking a figure of speech that might not be dissimilar to "pigs can fly" too literally, but, even so, I'd still like to share my gripe with that whole thing because I enjoy thinking and talking about language, and I think that that whole thing is indicative of larger attitudes on language that I dislike, and I also like to derail conversations.
It is joke that means "this isn't new information"
Ah, I understood that it wasn't meant very seriously, but I interpreted it as likening the person's belief to the belief that water is wet (implying that the latter is also unscientific nonsense), my mistake.
Homie has had this thesis ready on deck for years. The time has finally come.
I've decided, for all of humanity, that the definition of wet is something in contact with at least 1 molecule of water. So water is only not wet if it's a single molecule. Also, everything is almost always wet all the time because humidity.
That’s a philosophical point on a science based post.
I do agree with your point though.
Well actually……
And it's not even written well too. Me thinks someone failed elementary school..... Oh wait, this was religious homeschooling wasn't it
Same people who say we should just pour cement into volcanos to stop them from erupting.
Do you like big booms? Because that's how you get big booms.
Maybe we can try it once? For science.
I don't think it would even cause big booms. Volcanoes are full of molten rock. Cement is, basically, artificial rock, which has a melting point towards the lower end of the range of various rocks. Pouring cement into volcanoes would just make it so that they have ever-so-slightly-more molten rock in them.
Well, typical magmas are 700C to 1300C, and concrete has a melting temp of 1400C or thereabouts depending on composition.
I think I see what happened. The quick searches I had done had shown 1400°C for cement, and 1100 to 2200°F for rocks, and I didn't notice the different units.
I really wish the US would just switch to the damn metric system already...
You and me both.
That's a fair point. Now, if you could cap one that's furiously venting gasses...
do you want ants!?
I mean, if they're making the volcanoes, they'd have to be pretty big.....
OH SHIT GIANT ANTS SOMEONE CALL THE EDF
We just gotta let the lava push itself through a tube me made so that some of the pressure has somewhere to go, then we can harvest the heat from the lava before putting it somewhere to cool (I have 0 clue if this is even possible btw)
Typically, the problem is the dissolved gasses in the magma. At the depths that magmas form, gasses are dissolved into the liquid due to the intense pressure. When they get closer to the surface, the gasses are under less pressure and begin to form bubbles in the magma (think of opening a carbonated drink). If the lava is very gaseous and viscous, the bubbles will not be able to reach the surface very quickly. This leads to a rapid increase in pressure as all the bubbles try to expand. If the rock above the magma can't take the pressure anymore, you get a big boom.
The internet was a mistake.
You know, back in the nineties we thought how great it would be for everyone to have access to the same set of facts and be able to look up answers whenever they needed.
Aaaaand now we're here.
What sweet, summer children we were.
Yeah… we forgot about morons… always those damn morons.
And unfortunately we decided to make the internet easy enough for morons to use
Online video games exist
Prove gravity is electrical and you'll get that Nobel prize. A unified theory of forces that would also sort all the paradoxes between relativity and quantum would solve pretty much all the unanswered problems in physics.
And introduce new problems we can’t even conceive of. Because science and the nature of reality are awesome.
Engineering is solving problems. Science is realizing that something’s wrong either way
I know all those word individually, but not put together like that, something I have in common with the person that posted it.
It’s because you’re TOO STOOPID to know the TROOTH
Posts that make you smell burnt toast
Okay quick thing about Newton’s 3rd Law:
“Every action has an equal and opposite reaction” is both not what it says and a shit way of writing it.
“If object A applies a force to object B, object B applies an equal and opposing force to object A” is better.
Essentially if you push a wall, the wall pushes you back, which is why you don’t magically fall through the wall
In the case of gravity, a falling 60kg human would experience a 590N force towards the Earth, and the Earth also experiences a 590N force towards the Human
When the Human is standing on something, the Human’s gravity is acting on the floor, which is applying an opposing 590N force upward. The human’s feet are also providing a 590N force downward opposing the Earth’s gravity, all cancelling out to 0.
The reason we usually don’t include the motion of the Earth stuff like this is because it is so massive that a 590N force cannot provide a measurable acceleration, and we use Earth as our frame of reference
The reason we usually don’t include the motion of the Earth stuff like this is because it is so massive that a 590N force cannot provide a measurable acceleration, and we use Earth as our frame of reference
Also, the Earth experiences a great many such small forces acting on it at all times from virtually all directions, so they mostly all cancel out anyways.
Oh no they are use the bible to make a point.
I don’t even understand where the bible comes into their argument, it’s like they threw it into their word soup for flavor
That is nowhere close to being the main issue here.
Oh I know.
The Bible says the Earth is round anyways
I thought the bible said it was square “the four corners of the world”.
It’s used figuratively, such as when you are saved the Bible says your sins are “as far from as as the East is from the West” (paraphrasing) but it doesn’t mean it literally. I’ll find the verses that somewhat explicitly describe it as a globe if you’re interested.
What happens when your single brain cell tries out reasoning
We've reached a point when it isn't even possible to know what they are trying to say. Before you still could think about a doubt from them, but now...
I just lost 10 IQ points reading that.
Where's Godzilla? Is he ok?
Don't understand how lava gets out of the ground, it the opposite direction of the force of gravity? Study, if you will, a tube of toothpaste.
It'd not really the same mechanism. It's more like oil floating to the surface of water.
I'd say it's more akin to a hydraulic leak.
So if gravity is electrical, we were all just floating around until Ben Franklin bumped into a kite and tied a key to it?
But..this time the answer actually IS (partially) densities, I thought they liked that one!
Usually with flat earth arguments you could at least tell what the flat earther is trying to tell you, but here I have absolutely no clue what he's trying to say
It's electric universe "theory."
Does this "theory" acknowledge the flat earth? Because I don't remember that it does, so I still don't know what he's trying to say?
According to their logic, we also don't believe you can stand up because of gravity. Or that the pressure under the surface of the earth is incredibly high, and thus shooting molten rock and lava is normal, and essentially the same thing as a pressure cooker when you take the lid off mid cook.
I think I had a stroke trying to read that
Geology for Schizophrenics?
Dang, they got us globetards again
Gravity can be used to make electricity, that's basically how hydro power works. Hey, has anybody thought of making a dynamo that works in freefall? Have an astronaut give it a good spin and just watch it go for a few hours. Even in a low-gravity vacuum it'd stop eventually, perpetual motion still being impossible and all, but I'd wager you could get a fair amount of juice out of it first.
The pictures they used having the magma core in a sphere shape is peak.
I tried……I really tried to see what they were trying to say. But wtf is this horseshit? Can’t we please put these idiots into a rocket and shoot them into deep space, the funniest part not being that they’ll die in deep space but that they’ll see the round earth as they get sent into the void
Ironically, being able to jump off the globe and then land back on its solid ground is a living proof that gravity doesn’t disprove volcanoes
I’m team globie!
what.
Seems someone forgot to take their medication
The amount of dumbassery
Okay, so I'm gonna actually take this post seriously for a second and not just say it's damn near word salad.
"...they don't know how matter is made, much less to say that earth is a globe" - This sentence presumes that knowing how matter is made is a prerequisite to knowing that Earth is a globe. That's simply not the case. We don't need to know anything about matter to understand shapes and we could think that Earth is a cube, but have a perfect understanding of how matter is made.
"Biblically proven" - A lot of people like to say that something has been "proven" in a way without actually citing the proof itself. The Bible makes a lot of claims but doesn't prove anything. Even the things in the Bible that are true are simply claims. Evidence outside of the Bible supports whether the Bible is true or false.
"Contrary to the claim that gravity pulls mass to the center... this prove that gravity has an equal and opposite reaction" - Wouldn't the "equal and opposite reaction" not be "contrary to the claim that gravity pulls mass to the center" since it has to pull it in so it can have the equal and opposite reaction at all? You can't just say something has an equal and opposite reaction and dismiss what it's reacting to.
"...equal and opposite reaction and that is why gravity is electrical" - Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Why is this assuming that only electricity does?
"Here is Earth belching out matter from the center" - This doesn't discuss what causes the volcano to erupt. For example, I can lift my hand up, fighting gravity (or electricity or whatever) and it doesn't actually tell me what force is being used to lift my arm. I can throw a ball into the air and, again, just demonstrating that a ball can be thrown doesn't say anything at all about what force I'm fighting against to do that. Every force can potentially be fought against so the fact volcanos exist and shoot out lava doesn't say anything about what force is shooting lava out or what force it's fighting against.
"...they don't know how matter is made... here is Earth belching out matter from the center" - Volcanos don't make matter. The matter was already there. It's just shooting it out and it solidifies into another type of matter. Saying a volcano made matter is like putting noodles into a pot of boiling water and then, when they're soft, being like "The pot made these noodles!"
And this is why it's so hard to fight against pseudoscientific bullshit. They can just spew four sentences of absolute garbage with no proof and then someone else has to come along and make a fucking paragraph about why each sentence is dumb.
You know, it is kinda sad thatthe idiot who wrote that word salad will never see this amazing breakdown of it you made. Appreciate your effort.
basically the earth is my flat butt with pimples i think
Wait til they find out magma rises and volcanoes erupt because of gravity, i.e. density contrast.
Waiter! More word salad please!
“Biblically proven” is their scientific method
Volcanic pipe is a funny phrase.
To sum it up: gravity is fake because things can go up and they don’t know how
Word salad is wordy and salady.
Isn’t California sinking right now or something? Explain that one chucklefuck.
Gravity is electrical? That’s new
Gravity is electric.
How did we make it out of the middle ages?
I think they’re talking about Mavity.
This is just another time where I feel good about not being so aggressively stupid.
Anti-globe gibberish, but did you catch it? Gravity doesn't come from the center, but matter gets belched from the center. The center of what? A flat earth wouldn't have a center that would allow volcanoes to be all over the world. Never mind that the earth being a globe, with a moon orbiting it and the earth orbiting the sun, creates the tidal forces helping keep the core liquid.
The center of what?
Pretty sure it’s satire
It starts off crazy and then gets crazier.
Hey guys, how can gravity exist if when I boil starchy foods, my pot of water sometimes bubbles over?
Oh come on Domed earth societys gotta be satire. They know what electric force is at least
Have you ever had a dream that you, um, you had, your, you- you could, you’ll do, you- you wants, you, you could do so, you- you’ll do, you could- you, you want, you want them to do you so much you could do anything?
Same as energy
I lost a few IQ points reading that. 😰
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 What?
they've never squeezed a water bottle before?
Bitch wut
Their brain must be electric because this was the equal and opposite of an intelligent thought.
... someone tell this woman that matter can't be made omfg
My brain just disconnected
It’s impressive how someone can speak so much and say nothing
He should be proud of himself! Look at you go pal! Making words and sentences just like all the other kids!
UGH! love the science behind Volcanic pipes!!
I mean there not wrong. The conclusion drawn is though
I love how the diagram only names parts of the volcano but doesn't actually explain anything
I really want to know what this person thinks causes lava and why it is hot.
Suprise surprise, gravity is not the strongest force in the universe and can be overcome very easily by other forces. The magmatic fluid pressure exerted on rock is a very strong force indeed! Who knew?
Apparently gravity doesn't exist because of volcanoes! /s
This is definitely one of the statements of all time.
…and how about your final wish?
Make gravity electrical.
I ordered a Caesar Salad, not a Word Salad.
Guys! Gravity can’t exist because I can jump! Also this proves my legs are quantum entangled!
- This facebooker basically
You're either 1 of 2 things in this world. A globie, or a globemaniac
I actually got a headache from reading that schlock, so that's something
OOP would be so easy to wind up. It would be wrong, but I could do it.
What a mess of a paragraph.
As you see from the image, there is yellow and orange coming out from the center of the earth. However, this yellow and red eventually turns other colors. This is why the sky is blue. Because natural yellow and orange colors fade. At the same time, all the red stays safely hidden below ground, so that if you dig too far and too deep, you can find it. But you won't find the yellow or orange, because it escapes to the surface whenever it can. Also, volcanoes are made up of layers of alternating shades. This is becomes some years are light years. Those years go by really fast. And the yellow and oranges turn into very light grays. Other years are dark ages. And like the name implies, they go by VERY slowly. Just like if you try to stay up all night, it seems like it takes forever. And during those times, the yellows and oranges turn into very dark grays instead.
The irony of all these arguments for a flat Earth because of the Bible is that it was literally *known* in Biblical times that the Earth was round. The Greek mathematician Erostosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth around 250 BC, and anyone who sailed could verify this by watching ships sink over the horizon.
globemanics?
Also it sounds like they are saying all matter is produced at the Earth's core.
When you hit the volcanic pipe, globamania will be running wild!
Love the word salad to say nothing of any substance
as someone with a masters in geology & geophysics, this hurts my brain but I realize arguing with these.......fine individuals is pointless because they don't want to understand.
He should be asked how birds and bees fly.
Really think through how they arrived at the idea that gravity was an impossible force to overcome…
Science can't explain!!1!1
Gravity is electrical and I'm Joe Biden
Word soup, at a supermarket near you.
Had to be trolling..in this time line Idiocracy didn't begin until...6 years ago...oh
Just because something can beat gravity by force, it means it is fake and it is electrical in nature?
Gravity is a very weak force, it is the weakest of the fundamental forces.
If you can pick up your coffee mug... congratulations, you are stronger than the gravity attracting the mug.
If you can jump, you are stronger than the gravity attracting your body.
It all depends on the mass and how big and how long you can apply force, because gravity is constantly applied, but you just do momentary bursts.
The picture itself shows the constant nature of gravity... volcano erupts witha certain force and the lava falls back and creates layers....
By the way.... gravity is not electrical, if it were you could affect everything with magnets, but there are things that are not conductive and not magnetic and doesn't care about magnets
My guy, have you ever heard of buoyancy?
If gravity’a real the explain birds. /s
Center?
Gravity is the weakest of the universal forces. A fly can escape earth’s gravity. Tho, it’s a tendency all masses have: to get to one another. You can jump, but you can still fall. The bigger the mass, the bigger the attraction. The denser the mass, the bigger the attraction
It just got stupider and stupider
If anyone needs me, I'll be over in the corner of my round room listening to the flavor of the number green.
Flawless logic. Unassailable reason. Perfect theory.
(Please don't ask for any data that supports it though.)
Yes, this random jpg proves it. The same way telling someone to calm down instantly relieves tension.
Duh lava flows up so gravity is electrical! It’s so obvious. Not even a very young child makes this kind of leaps in reasoning. We have bugs colloquially known as ear wigs in the northwest, my dad is bald and his granddaughter said it must be because of hair wigs. That is both cute and makes more sense than the random words this flerfs “gotcha” if a dude said this to me I would smile and say you got it buddy in my best attempt to treat him with dignity and respect because they clearly experienced some serious brain trauma and this can’t be their own fault.
I just popped a pimple (which is basically like a tiny volcano) on my chin the other day, does that mean my head is also flat?
This seems like someone who has had their flat earth beliefs challenged multiple times and is ready for all criticism. He has a number of explanations ready to go.
Gravity does not stop all things from moving up. Try jumping. You go up, but then back down. So does the magma. It goes up, and then down. The magma goes up because of pressure
The Bible says the Earth is round…
There are so many obvious holes in this logic. It’s literally backwards. Tectonic plates moving apart or together with the magnetic force makes no sense whatsoever. Especially on a flat earth.
If the earth’s geological events happen because of electromagnetic forces… - where does the magma come from? - if 2 plates are being repulsed, why don’t they fall off the edge of the earth? - if two plates are being pulled together, how are they continually pulled together after their contact?
'Gravity is electric'? I think I just found a title for my new album.
If gravity was real it would be impossible to fart while lying on your belly.
The only thing I can think of is plasma. Heat any material hot enough and it becomes magnetic. However, earth’s magnetic field is so weak so it would not overcome gravity. What’s missing here is pressure. Deep within the planet, pressure is high. An outlet occurs like a vent or fissure on the surface. As soon as the pressure begins to equalize, eruption.

Classical physics, look it up!
Oil companies operate on the same principle. Going from a high pressure to low pressure means no need to pump. Pressure provides flow.
Those were certainly words.
