Possibly hollow
Fuckin-a, sure, why not?
Frankie “Five Angels” Pentangili, when he torpedoed his own testimony as witness for the prosecution in Godfather 2:
“They said Iceball Earth this, Iceball Earth that, and I said yeah, sure, why not…”
Anyone, math on how big that planet is?
Yeah, pretty big²
With a margin of error of “some”.
Ridiculously rough calculations:
Earth’s diameter is about 12,700km. This looks roughly 30 times that, so we’ll say 380,000km across, or a circumference of about 1,200,000km (compared to earth’s measly ~40,000km).
This puts the overall size somewhere between Jupiter and the sun (probably closer to the sun).
In terms of volume, you could fit about 10,000 standard earths inside the hollow ice ball.
Give or take an order of magnitude.
Large enough for that ice to split into hydrogen & oxygen, and then start fusion?
If it were hollow, probably not, because there presumably wouldn’t be that much mass.
If you crammed 10,000 earths in there? Maybe!
Funny how they say they don’t believe what they can’t see for themselves and yet they make up all of that shit that was never seen by anyone ever
Tbh this is glorious fantasy worldbuilding. I’m going to steal this for my setting
Tunnels in the ice walls that lead to other worlds!
Sooo…the flat earth is now on a sphere?
Opossum aren’t real… Think about it.
Look, I get you’re (hopefully) joking. But there are people that take these jokes seriously. Please stop.
Those people can eat dicks. if you’re dumb enough to believe things lime that from random pictures on the internet in places like Lemmy, then the social cost of keeping them ‘safe’ from this info is greater than the social cost of just letting those troglodytes breed themselves distinct enough as to be out of our gene pool.
I would counter that it’s this kind of hubris that allow these stupid people to gain footholds in our basic institutions. Take a look at anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, American republicans; to name a few. Misinformation, regardless of intent and/or “obviousness”, is still misinformation. As for our gene pool, it’s rife with bad actors and ill-informed “troglodytes”. In other words, they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.
I think you have too pessimistic a view of the actual breakdown in number of idiots versus ‘normal’ folks. I’ve never met a real anti vaxxer, I’ve never met a real flat farther, my dad is an American Republican but he’s just Christian and really gives a shit about abortion I guess. Those groups don’t exist on that grand a scale and the average person is not being affected by these kinds of jokes.
Those that are, that tiny minority, have existed for all time. There are less idiots born today than ever before due to better access to education, Healthcare, and basic resources that breed the inequity required for that level of selfish thinking. They exist, for sure, but not in any numbers we should be concerned about, except maybe MAGA Republicans, that population group is larger than I’d like and bigger than I originally assumed, but they’re still not the average republican I talk to.
Is this the Frostpunk 2 trailer?
