I've read a lot here about flat-earthers, but there are also people who believe the earth is hollow!

When I was around 6 years old I saw a large poster illustrating the hollow-earth belief in a barber shop,
probably somewhere in South Dakota where we lived for awhile. See search link below*

But then if you can believe in Gawd(s) or Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy you can believe in anything!

You are a 2-dimensional being living on the edge of the universe. What you think is a 3-dimensional universe is actually a hologram.

...flat, because if it were, cats would have knocked everything over the edge already. 🐈

And if the world were hollow all the cats would have crawled inside by now!

I wish I could claim credit for thinking it up myself, but Ican’t.

LOL at the hollow bit. We have a beat up old couch in our living room, and the batting underneath has come loose. One of our cats likes to crawl up in there for a nap. The only reason I know this is that she wears a TILE device on her collar so I can “beep” her if I can’t find her - she loves to hide and is very good at it. Imagine my surprise the first time the beeping was coming from inside the couch. I never would have thought to look there.
