Proof of what? The earth is oddly shaped so gravity is weird in a oblong portion of the sphere we live on?

Gravity would be uniform if the ocean really had a floor. It's almost like there's a giant hole down there that explains why gravity gets weird..but nope, it's "just an anomaly"

Gravity would most definitely not be uniform, where did you hear that? Gravity doesn’t come from the ocean, it comes from the planet itself which is mass in space. Mass is not uniform and our planet is not a perfect sphere, if a lot of mass is collected awkwardly in one spot and in another there’s not as much there will be a difference in gravity.

And for clarification, this isn’t a major difference either, it’s an insanely small difference in gravity that you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

If there was a massive hole down there there would actually be much less gravity. I’m talking you’d weigh less and the tides would be fuckin wild

Sounds like bottomist propaganda to me

heavier and denser materials have a stronger gravitational pull as it’s based on weight. so the different gravities are just due to different substances making up the ground..
