I live and breathe for the Nintendoland Zelda battle quest
This is what it looks like when you look down an alleyway and see two stray cats duking it out over a half rotten rotisserie chicken
Its surreal getting a Mr beast ad about how he hates reading in the middle of a video essay on Fahrenheit 451
I don't know how big eightcrazynightsposting is on tumblr since I haven't seen any here yet but here we go
Poorly drawn Oshawott line

having to be “mature” at a young age sucks bc you aren’t really “mature-mature” you’re a child playing at a maturity bc you don’t have the foundation to be the bigger person when conflict arrives so what you do is ignore it bc ignoring a problem and being happy about a resolution look the same to your inexperienced eyes. Then you get adults praising you for a development above your peers but you aren’t really developing. You’re stagnant. Your peers will grow up and experience things and make mistakes and grow from them but you will keep yourself in this box, ignoring things ignoring ignoring ignoring until one day you have to face the fact… it wasn’t maturity you had. It was fear. And now you’re an adult too and you make all of your choices based on an emotional risk/costs analysis bc you don’t know any emotion other than fear & you have to start healing from your own childhood by making peace that you weren’t really a mature child. You were just a child who was given too much to carry & didn’t know how to say “no”.
Ooo now I can briefly introduce something! So, the Earth isn’t expanding and infinitely large. Flatness, for the universe, means that parallel lines remain parallel, the angles of a triangle add up to 180, etc etc.
Cosmologists also came up with cosmic inflation, to explain that any curvature was smoothed out through exponential growth. For the universe to be as flat as it is now, it would have to have been even FLATTER in the past! Think about a spinning top… if there is an imperfection in the setup, it will fall over. Since we don’t observe deviations in the flatness of the universe, it follows that like the top must have been incredibly perfectly set up, the extremely early universe must have been incredibly flat!
Note that a period of inflation helps solve some other problems, but that’s beyond the scope of this post (see the “relic problem,” “horizon problem,” and “structure problem”).
the Earth is locally flat. since flatness is a local property, it follows that the Earth is flat.
