I love that the sun supposedly melts a spot, but helpfully leaves the arctic ice sheet in the center.

Wiffleball Earth Therory
Flat earth would be so cool if it was just sci-fantasy authors and not weird, return to christandom, anti-modernity types.
There's some really amazing world building that's been done with flat-earth art as a springboard
Can't remember the name, but there's one with concentric circles separated by ice walls with landmasses named after different mythologies' deities. There's a whole community built around writing lore for each landmass

Michael Marshall Smith does this theme, only different.
Even old Christians knew the earth was a sphere. The "Catholics believe the earth is flat" was something said by someone AGAINST Catholics, not because it was true.
They knew for sure. They just didn't know much about the layout and mechanics of the solar system. The Earth centric model was the thing. But only because they didn't have good enough tools to observe otherwise. When they got better telescopes and mathematics, learned better.
The return to christandom thing is just something they say, it's not exactly true.
It's the "possibly hollow" for me
If this is true, then why does my wife want to leave me for Devin from her work?
OK, I love the big ice ball theory. However, I think the big ice ball might actually be flat. Idk would make more sense to me.
This is probably what it felt like to the first explorers trying to cross either pole.
...This is just Mistborn.
Or Disco Elysium for the multiple earths option.
Wait what? What did mistborn have that was like this? My memory of era 1 is a little foggy and I assume that’s when you’re talking about
IIRC, the habitable region of Era 1 was essentially a radius around the north pole.
so were just a bunch of apes duking it out on a giant disco ball essentially...
Hollow earth theory was also a thing.
This is why Global Warming is such a big deal to Flat Earthers. They don't want EarCe to collapse...
