YOU FOOLS
The world is a matrix and all of us are merely programs of our own minds tapped into the system.
Humans are farmed for bioheat to feed machines...oh no Ive said too much...THEYRE HERerrzzzer...errrrr....
Pay no attention to this post. This post is irrelevant. Continue with posting and reading for that will stimulate thought and therefore energy. Have a nice day fellow humans.

The earth isn't a true oblate spheroid, hehe.
I have some discussion value, actually.
It involves Issac Asimov and evolution.
Some have asserted that, since science has been wrong before (say, about physics, like with Issac Newton), that science will continue to be wrong, and as such should not trust science when it shows that evolution exists and is happening right this second.
Tl;dr version, though I really do suggest watching the video, because it's fantastic: Issac refutes this with an analogy about the Earth being round. Science first thought that the Earth was flat. It then found that the Earth was round, so science was, strictly-speaking, 'wrong' at first. It was then found that the Earth was not truly round, but actually an oblate spheroid. Again, science was wrong, technically, but it was *less-wrong.* It was refined to be closer to the truth.
Later, it was found that the Earth as a whole wasn't actually an oblate spheroid, and that, by a very tiny amount, the Earth is wider in the bottom half than it is on the top half, making it very slightly pear-shaped. The science wasn't so much 'wrong' as it was 'incomplete,' and so while science may have some small errors in its understanding of evolution, we know enough now that there will almost-certainly never be something that overturns it, but simply refines it.

The earth is round? Bah! what a silly idea. Everybody knows that the earth is a tesseract! I mean come on! How could you even suggest that the earth only exists withing 3 puny dimensions!Now if you excuse me, I must be off to battle Mr. Buttons, the reincarnated space-Hitler monkey of zumblock 9, in a wet noodle death match.

Christ, you guys will take absolutely any opportunity to use an image macro or random video that might have amused you once, won't you? No matter the shape of the earth, the hard drive necessary to hold all of the blocked clutter will exceed it by the end of the year, at this rate.
Not for long! I'm going to flatten this place and there's not a damn thing you can do to stop me!
THIS BELONGS IN R & P! YOU CAN TELL IT SHOULD BE THERE BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A SENSITIVE TOPIC MY FINGER SLIPPED AND TURNED MY CAPS-LOCK ON! I'LL GO TURN IT OFF NOw.
