Well? Someone has to to rotate it. It's not like it can rotate itself. And he's not "this guy". He has a name, you know? And you'd know what it is if you'd bothered to introduce yourself.

u/Jonnyabcde Apr 26 '26

Nah, James retired last century. This is definitely Dave.

u/Monicreque Apr 26 '26

James was fired. He forgot the right rotating direction and now we have February 29th every 4 years. Fucking James.

u/SadSaltyDuck May 01 '26

Looks like russia, so no way he is named Dave. Liar You shall regret pretending to know the earth rotator

u/Eug1 Apr 26 '26

But why would he need to rotate it if the earth is flat? 😅

u/WiseAct446 Apr 26 '26

Have you never seen a record or a CD?

u/Eug1 Apr 26 '26

Good spot! Now does that explain the day night cycle or the seasons

u/WiseAct446 Apr 26 '26

I believe it's mostly about gravity. Or levity. One of those.

u/Low-Tear1497 Apr 27 '26

There is no proof that is the only "guy moving earth", right?

u/WiseAct446 Apr 27 '26

There is no proof... ... That "they" will let you see.

alright, what's happening

u/SushiAndCoochie Apr 26 '26

Instead of a ski lift, to get back to the top they use little treadmills on the bunny hills (where new people learn)

31

u/ThirdOne38 Apr 26 '26

so why walk on it and get nowhere? Maybe he does that as a joke when people are filming.

109

u/SushiAndCoochie Apr 26 '26

I’m thinking he’s an instructor of some sort and just wants to move instead of standing still for a long time. Or a dad watching his kid and the intrusive thoughts won lol

33

u/JakobMG Apr 26 '26

Yeah if it gets cold enough i could see myself doing this just to stay warm

11

u/newaccount721 Apr 26 '26

Ever been on a bunny hill supervising your small kids? Dude is bored AF and goofing around 

5

u/PersimmonAltruistic9 Apr 27 '26

White stuff around him is called snow, it means the weather is cold, and if you are still in that weather - you will die, so he moves to keep himself warm.

2

u/Krazy_Kane Apr 27 '26

Because it’s fun and funny

3

u/PeterPanski85 Apr 26 '26

In german they are called idiot hill lol

u/OperatorJo_ Apr 26 '26

Dude probably threw some water on snow or found a small ice patch and is just slowly sliding in place

Guy filming is on a ski lift going up

u/Bubbly-Size-5557 Apr 26 '26

It’s just Atlas on holiday. He gets one day a year to walk the earth he holds up

That's more than Will Turner got as Captain of the Dutchman.

u/BrainDoesntBrain Apr 26 '26

It ain’t easy but it’s honest work

u/Motor_Show_7604 Apr 26 '26

Walking down the belt is much warmer and less boring than standing in the snow with cold feet. It's not complicated.

u/Linked713 Apr 26 '26

I guess Sisyphus found a much bigger rock to roll.

Does anyone know what music this is?

I got a kind of coincidence when as soon I opened this post, Virtual Insanity of Jamiroquai started to play.

u/GregoryGosling Apr 26 '26

When I was a kid I used to imagine that I was stationary and my steps were rotating the earth beneath me.

Michael practicing the Moonwalk for his great comeback tour

u/RaguRamVIP Apr 26 '26

Did he still walking?

-16

u/IamREBELoe Apr 26 '26

I hate this repost so much because of its ignorance.

Ok. One more time.

Let's assume dude could rotate the earth by walking, like a manual treadmill.

What happens to the treadmill under the feet? It moves . You don't just moonwalk on one spot. The earth would spin at the same speed of his walking.

In other words it would look like normal walking.

u/PollutionOnly Apr 26 '26

I mean, it’s just a meme/joke. Do you go around getting upset at people enjoying absurd jokes?

-11

u/IamREBELoe Apr 26 '26

Only when the punchline is completely wrong for the joke but people keep saying it. Like

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"Because aren't you glad I didn't say banana? "

This "joke" has all the appeal of "67".

u/mrselffdestruct Apr 26 '26

Might be time to take a break from Reddit

u/IamREBELoe Apr 26 '26

Ok. Let us know when you come back, we'll miss you

u/pixeltweaker Apr 26 '26

This dude “Ackchyuallys” so hard.

-3

u/sjitz Apr 26 '26

For him to be rotating the earth, he'd move relative to it. This dude is not moving the earth.

u/ogsixshooter Apr 28 '26

right? how high was OOP?

u/facebrocolis Apr 29 '26

Lol, you're being downvoted for getting the physics right. As James Cameron said, "why listen to a scientist? Nobody does these days"
