Drink a full glass of sea water, see if it still qualify as flat.

Already did. Didn’t see the wave coming. It definitely made me flat and I lost my sunglasses.

We’re working really hard on turning the oceans into Perrier though.

The Earth’s surface area is about 70% percent covered by water.

More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth’s total volume.

If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.

Ok, so it’s flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.

Very true, and although my specialty is not geology, I’m fairly confident the magma is also not carbonated.

I’m not a geologist either, but I know there is in fact have a lot of gaz dissolved into magma.

Considering there is far more magma than water on earth, I can confidently say that eath is not flat.

Since I am a pedant, I would agree with you after looking up volcanic gas composition. I love how we can get to the smart stuff via dumb memes.

Idk, how do you explain geysers? If you taste the water runoff, it’s very clearly carbonated (and nasty with a very metallic taste).

I expected most volcanic gasses (and geysers) to be largely sulfuric. After looking it up, I have to agree. The Earth is full of dissolved gasses making it not flat.

Hey, we’re working on it alright.

We just need to continue to pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and eventually all the water will be carbonated.
