    They are actually built like that, but they have a built-in projector that makes them appear flat to an outside observer. When they crash the projector usually breaks, which is why they then look bent.

    Assuming a ground clearance of 10cm, and a wheelbase of 2.4m (source: my ass) then you can construct an arc under the wheels

    This arc says you could drive such a car on an earth with radius as small as 7.25m. Actually, it could be slightly smaller because of where the wheels would contact, but I’ve lost interest

    I wish the Earth became flat for a moment so we could throw all flat-earthers over the edge.

    I’ve actually seen flat-Earthers make the claim that if Earth was round then buildings would have to be constructed with a built-in curve.

      Those questions/claims are really interesting as like… A way to teach children how to think about scale and approximation and stuff.

      Adults holding those beliefs both a) sincerely and b) defensively though… Less cute.

    Earth is round, but humans have build straight roads so now ita a cube. And hitler lives in the corners, below the streets.
