i bet those books would suck tbh. the conspiracies they come up with for the most part aren’t even imaginative

if someone said “i just thought of a great idea for a fantasy world for a book im gonna write. you know how the earth is round? what if… it wasn’t?” you would just be like “why?” and none of these people have ever been able to answer that

What if the world was flat, like a disc. A discworld, so to say. And it is like this because the corner of the cosmos it floats through is just a bit more absurd than regular reality.
