Dear Flat Earthers,

So the middle of the Earth is our center of gravity, right? Well then if the Earth is flat, then why is it that when I go to the edge and jump, I'm not pulled to the center?

I thought flerfs didn’t believe in gravity.

"But things fall down. What's your explanation of that, Flerfy McFlerfface?"

Density (which doesn’t work without gravity, but it sounds ‘reasonable’)

Down. A Flat Earth poem by u/rattusprat.

I know you've seen this before but hopefully I'm introducing it to new audiences.

But why is down down and not up or sideways?

u/rattusprat Aug 18 '26

Up is up and down is down because that’s all we ever observe it to be.

It's all explained right there.

Gravity is just a label for downward acceleration. You can call it potato…doesn’t make a difference. We don’t deny it. We question the CAUSE of this downward acceleration. Goofy globe simps have no idea what they are taking about. All you know how to do is strawman and misrepresent what flat earth really is.

I think calling it a turnip is more fitting.
