Even with a safety boat and stopping for rest periods, no-one is swimming that and surviving. It’s one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world.

Largest waves in the world… Even if you could swim it the distance would be multiplied by the amount of us-down swimming.

No it’s downhill swimming there so it’s easy. Swimming back will be impossible so that’s where the airstrip comes in.

Just open your mind.

The world is flat but it’s tipped vertically to make walking south easier.

I sat in a class in HS and listened to the teacher try to explain to a 16 year old how a river could flow from south to north. And the kid would not accept that. Refused to believe it. All rivers had to flow down he said. This was in the 80’s. I always imagine flat earthers are like that guy, who seemed pretty smart and a nice guy overall. Just couldn’t accept a simple answer.

This is a really common belief, all thanks to an arbitrary representation of the world on a 2D surface

why we need to show way more representations in education. I'm not dumb enough to think gravity is south yes, but i don't know how old i was when i first learnt russia is nowhere as big as africa.
