The world is spherical, however, we are in fact on the inside surface of the sphere.

(The best part is, the concave hollow earth theory is scientifically irrefutable and equally valid to the concept of a spherical earth.)

Oh hai,

I know you are doing a satire thread, but let's not perpetuate the myth that 500 years ago, everyone believe the earth was flat.

The West has believed that the Earth is spherical (or an oblate spheroid) since pre-Christian times. You also made a hash of the Shakespearean English.

Of course it is spherical in my opinion. Without it there would be no South or North Poles, and a flight from LA to Sydney would have taken much longer.
