It's hard to predict the future Gary, especially when it's a hypothetical question.

So, it would be more a comedy than?
BTW...future Gary said put a little more into savings.

I just learned of this so for me that makes it perfect timing given this is New Years eve.

In 2022 it was flat earth theory. Now with this post on the eve of 2023 I introduce you to donut earth theory.
No, this isn't satire. It's real. 🍩😳



''Donut earth subscribers believe that there’s a huge hole in the planet. They hypothesize that because “light bends and follows the curvature of the torus” the hole, as a result, is ‘unseeable’. ''

Your theory seems to have a glaring hole in it

It would be some of both. Each is both smart and humorously snarky.
Snarky? Me? Wow, I never thought I would see that word used to describe me...

If you take the meaning of that word - subtract out the "negative intent" part of it - that I could imagine.

The intent is usually to "keep it light around here" - some people on here start taking things a little too personally if you don't...

Alright, if you let a Concave Earther in the mix *ahem*, than it would be entertaining.

I have seen enough flat earth/heliocentric debates, they are generally one sided, and incredibly boring. You need a concaver in there, or it's controlled opposition.

Snarky isn't my humor style. slap stick British sarcasm sillyness and etc

I can assure you that snarky was a term of endearment as you describe.

You can be in but I'm not paying extra.

Does the moon pass through the hole once a day?

Is that why it disappears and comes back later?

Does the sun pass through the hole once a day also?

Moses - thought-for-today - if you want to avoid the wisecracks - you need to make sure you do not spare any grammatical expense explaining the full meaning of your intent:
Happy New Year, friend.

I don't mind the wisecracks. It shows me fairly quickly who is here to genuinely learn something, and who is here to oppose and obscure the truth.

I particularly like it when a denier (maybe some are not trolls) deny the obvious truth, and then I get to point out where they are obviously wrong. And then they make out as if they didn't understand in the first place. The exchange tends to go like this.

Me: Obvious truth demonstrating point.
Denier: Denial of obvious truth.
Me: Example of obvious truth demonstrating point - and a mild jab at the denier's competence in the field given the denial.
Denier: Backtrack "Uh - I don't understand the question." Projection. "That mild jab applies to you!" Change the subject to a slightly different one, to hide the error, or a story that would indicate denier would have or should have had the knowledge not to have denied the obvious truth. "Well, of course I've been in a plane - in my younger days, I was quite the pilot..."

See this exchange below, posted for your amusement as well as mine.

What evidence do you have that the atmosphere is transparent?
My eyes. I can see.
So you obviously have never seen any mountains, right? Because they become invisible before they disappear "over the horizon". Hence demonstrating that the atmosphere is not completely transparent. Enough atmosphere and it becomes opaque.
Enough atmosphere? What does that even mean? By the way, I've seen Mont Blanc from about 30,000 feet as well as other alpine peaks. I've flown over quite a few mountains, including the Rockies. Some days there is cloud, others mist, and sometimes it is completely clear. You should get out more.
Okay. End of exchange. Back to my response to you, now.
(Yes - it is intended to be funny - please laugh...)
Lol. :p
