Flat earthers, what’s on the bottom of the flat Earth?

Edit: how do we “know” the bottom half isn’t round? Like half a lemon that’s been cut in half

    The flat earth is supported on the back of four elephants, who in turn are standing on a giant cosmic turtle that is flying through space.

    It is speculated the turtle is looking for a partner. When that happy day happens, that will be the big bang.

    It is of critical importance, therefor, to know the sex of the giant turtle.

      Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird how Great A’Tuin gets all the chelonaut attention, while the elephants get ignored?

      that will be the big bang.

      But turtles make no banging noise. It’s loud panting or wheezing noises. And it goes on for quite a while, so that you could maybe get a little envious…

          Not clonking?

          LOL whatever they do, they do it slow and steady.

          I have watched one at the zoo, where a child had touched it and so it turned it’s head around to look what’s happened. Slow and steady. It took a little more than a minute.

            Hey, my little box turtle can really move when he’s attacking a snail! Poor little 🐌 👻 is like, “He came out of nowhere!”

      Before anyone asks what’s under the turtle: It’s turtles all the way down.

        Here’s the weird thing: In terms of the beginning of the universe, it could well be the case that it’s universes all the way back.

        That said, “back” indicates a straight line, and since time doesn’t extend past the beginning, at least, not directly, that line most definitely isn’t straight, unlike an infinite stack of turtles.
