What people don't realize is that these levels are built with a barely-perceptible curve to match the shape of the Earth.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 months ago

See, this is why I post stupid shit like this. One, for the comments, and two, for info like this. Thank you kind stranger 👍 ☺️.

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 21 points 7 months ago

Just in case you are serious (can’t say for sure on internet) - he wasn’t.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

Of course I wasn't 😂.

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago

A level would have to be unwieldy large before it would have to account for that. Thats completely made up.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

No, I was being completely serious with my ridiculous statement above.

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago

Yeah well I'm an ant, that is unweildy large for me

[-] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

That's what she said

[-] PeregrinoCinzento@lemmy.pt 1 points 7 months ago

As Gandalf said:
"If you compare an Ant to a Level, a Human will go its whole life thinking the Earth is flat."

Has a landscape as well... nice touch.

[-] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 23 points 7 months ago

Then why is the bubble curved and not flat.

Checkmate flerthers!

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 20 points 7 months ago

It still makes me laugh all our building's paths and stuff like that are judged by a floating air bubble in a coloured liquid.

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago

Unless your building or infrastructure was built after they became a thing, everything else, air bubble.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

My building, definitely. It's built in 1965 😂.

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

And theodolites.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 14 points 7 months ago

Now do it with a 15,000 mile long level.

[-] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 7 months ago

TAKE THIS GLOBEHEADS

FLAT EARTHERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE LAUGHING AT YOU

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Oh well, at least both sides are laughing.

[-] Outsider9042@aussie.zone 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Any spirit level is simply a measure of its tangent with centre of mass of the earth on its plane. I can use the same technique to prove a tennis ball is flat, I can prove thin air is flat….

Woahhh…. What if, everything is flat…. Duuuuude.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 8 points 7 months ago

Well, that settles that I guess. Let’s argue about politics or religion instead…

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

GOD, NO, PLEASE, NO, DON'T!

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago

Can you spare a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

Runs away Forest Gump style

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago
[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

Of course, whatever you say.

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 7 months ago

It is an argument about religion.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Okay.

Lays down another level next to it.

[-] Jourei@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

I think this just means that they installed earth on a good angle.

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Welp, can't argue against that. Ya finally converted me.

Turn a bowl upside-down and slap this bad boy on top of it. Boom, proof the bowl is a plate.

[-] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 3 points 7 months ago

The world is level

[-] flatearth@kbin.social 1 points 7 months ago

@0x4E4F have you finally repented, or are you exhibiting your ignorance?
