All Lego® baseplates should be very, very slightly curved to
prevent flat-Earthers using them as evidence to support
their
world-view.

how does this affect the build? |

Ans. They become unstable if they are tall enough,
proving that the world is in fact flat! |

On The News Quiz the other week, they quoted an
advertisement for a Flat Earth conference in (I think)
Australia, advertising "prominent speakers from around the
globe". Either an own goal or high-class irony. |

We consider it apposite to point out that, since gravity curves spacetime, all lego baseplates are curved to some extent; though since the same gravitational field also acts on all other items, including lego bricks, in the vicinity, the curvature is not easily detectable. |

Ah! That explains Sturton's profile when he's lying down.
Another mystery demystified. |

This is a social phenomena that I'm going to write off as
mostly a put on. I know of at least one instance where a
guy actually built
himself a rocket that he actually flew in that got publicity
by saying it was to prove the Earth was flat. When
accused by an interviewer of putting everybody on about
that he just laughed. |

Think about it. In the age of social media, how much
attention are you going to get by saying the Earth is round
vs the Earth is flat? I'm sure there are some that are
irredeemably stupid but
I'm guessing we're talking... ten percent of flat Earthers
actually believe it. |

In case I'm totally wrong, then stop this round Earth, I
want to get off. |
|
| |
Unless I'm REALLY wrong and it IS flat, but I'll have some
questions that need to be answered. |

[+} for the idea, but it should be expanded to all
products. |
