but imagine how fuckin cool it would be if they were
It wood be really cool.
Sadly it’s the other way around. Tree stumps are nothing but small rock formations. How disappointing.
Those giant trees had to be cut because the earth was risking turning upside down from the weight.
Flat Earth has entered the chat. :-D
Considering the giant trees is part of flat earth yeah it was in here the whole time
Giant earth theory is wild. I followed a guy on Reddit who had some absolutely insane videos “teaching” the subject. He also thought multiplication was a lie because if you do 5x5 by counting your fingers 5 times you still only have 5 fingers.
I’d say he’s trolling but Terryology is apparently serious so anything goes, some people will gaslight themselves into anything.
Or maybe he’s just amazing at the bit. He is an actor…
In every dumb movement you have the tucker carlsons that say shit they don’t belive in, the trumps completely demented even lower iq and truly believe those things they say. And who ever the hell are the monkeys that whatch it.
If he was an actor he was performing for an insanely small audience. This guy was legit some of his videos were years old with less than 10 views.
But like… so what? What does this add to the flat earth “theory”? Like, okay there were really, really big trees once. Now what?
I know I’m looking for logic where it doesn’t exist, but this really baffles me.
I’ll see if his YouTube channel is still up so you can get the crazy sauce straight from the tap. Be warned, it is difficult to find a cohesive thought let alone any logic.
Ah yes, all natural phenomena including checks notes the one where someone cut down a tree with a saw
Maybe someone cut down that mountain with a really big saw?
Behold, Erdtree
Erdtree O Erdtree,
Erdtree O Erdtree
🤔 This is honestly evidence that the universe is mathematical, that the shapes of trees and mountains are formed under similar mathematical rules despite being different sizes and materials.
Like galaxy formation and brain cells also look similar and that’s ostensibly the reason why so it stands to reason why this would be a thing.
I remember someone posting a Neil Degrasse Tyson video and he was interviewing a guy talking about finding equations at the root of the physical world.
Neil seemed blown away, but isn’t mathematics just our interpretation of the natural laws of the universe?
Like reading Cliff’s Notes and then the actual book and saying “hey these are similar!”
Good job with pointing that out. I think you are correct. I still feel the same wonder at it though. Gets me right in the pickle. I like to think about tree “experience” and stuff too. So many different ways to be and do in this universe. Understanding the world through math is batshit wild and I wonder what method a giant armillaria mellea uses to understand the world.
fractals baby, it’s all procedurally generated here in the matrix.
and there’s a valid query regarding the world as simulation. but to take the leap from ‘this geology shares properties similar to this stump’ to 'damn, that was a big tree that grew out in the middle of this desert… well that takes drugs kids.
my brother thinks mountains are fossilised giants.
not kidding
Bloody hell mate… maybe he likes to rile you up? I mean, hopefully.
Thats a wild story
And so random…
Brainfuck of the day.
I had a friend that i guess I slowly drove away by always calling him on his bullshit and amongst the thousands of insane things he did and believed, he legitimately thought that there used to be giants roaming the Earth and he would argue this point intensely.
Can you imagine the size of the chain saw!!?
Is a quasar not just a giant chain saw? Are spiral galaxies not just giant sawblades? It’s giant trees all the way down, baby. Checkmate, Arborists.
Wow does anyone know where that first picture comes from? That mountain range looks like someone just jammed a bunch of glass shards into the ground!
Pretty sure that’s the Cerro Torre in Patagonia :D

Looks like Cerro Torre. That specific image appears to be a mirrored version of a photo from an Outside article that features Cerro Torre.
Thanks for the link and an interesting article!
Flat earth wasn’t silly enough?
The line between creative worldbuilding and batshit insanity is surprisingly thin.
I have three words if you love laughing at idiots like this: Mud. Fossil. University.
Enjoy.
Holy shit that’s a deep library. I’m going in
That’s fun.
Falsifiably so.
so better science than most of modern physics
Wow, that’s awesome. I’ve been thinking a lot about the scale of the universe and how cyclical it is.
Take a scaled out view of our solar system and then compare it to a molecules composition (the atom or group of atoms surrounded by protons and neutrons) and the similarities are just uncanny.
Like this image, what’s to say that we aren’t just part of a molecule making up the chemical composition of something far larger than ourselves. An ant has no concept of the vast empty space between the United States and Europe, we know that is the case between solar systems but our actual understanding of our relationship in space is limited.
P.S. look at the patterns of discharge of electricity in wood/paper/stone and then look at the patterns of the Grand Canyon. They’re the same! And the Grand Canyon is the only formation we have that exhibits this quality, which makes it extra interesting.

Nah, the planetary model of the atom is outdated. The quantum model doesn’t look very much like a solar system.
The quantum model doesn’t look very much like a solar system.
Not even a little bit, really. Quantum mechanics is in fact almost nothing like what school taught me.

Mariner: why do all caves look the same?
Rutherford and Tendi: cause they’re all formed by… SOLUBLE MINERALS!
