Pikamee Made me Lose Faith in the Japanese Education System...

[@pigeonman6434]

Pika just made her own conspiracy theory purely by accident

[@pentelegomenon1175]

Long ago there were people who believed not only that the Earth was flat, but that there were people walking around on the bottom, sometimes these people were imagined to have weird qualities such as upside-down faces, these people were usually called Antipodeans (the word later became reused for people who live in the Southern Hemisphere).

[@TrollCapAmerica]

@@pentelegomenon1175 That was made up by Victorians to try and "prove" how much smarter and more enlightened they were then the barbarians of the past. Ancient Greeks used math to figure out roughly how large the world was in the bronze age. The stuff about weird people all over the world from dogmen and onwards isnt that improbable considering how few people actually traveled the world and fantastical things like Horses with necks the sizes of houses (Giraffe) and tentacle faced giant bulls (elephants) dont seem any weirder than that

I hate to admit it, but the "land root" theory was the same thing I had in mind back when I was like 10. I remember drawing this shitty DBZ-ripoff comic around that age where some villain dude destroyed an island with an energy blast and the land cracked open like a Kinder Egg with sea water started pouring out. My brother saw it and went, "That's not how the Earth works." I finally realized that continents aren't just floating lands of soils freely floating on top of the sea, so I made up the idea that the comic took place on an alien planet and there pops in the "land roots" similar to Pika's idea.
