The sun is a fiery, life-giving snail that is creeps across the pale blue outer shell of the great mother snail we live upon.

That's a lot better than when the sun was a deadly lazer

from the earth can you really tell the sun is round? obviously we can tell from space but down here it's so bright it could really be a cube for all we know

During sunsets you can see it easily

It might seem circular during a sunset, but if it were a cube it would still seem circular just because of all the scattering in the atmosphere

Just stare at it for long enough and you’ll be able to tell by the shape it burned into your retina.

We can see it's round during an eclipse.

Not if the moon is also square.

Most Snails also can't see in colour, and therefore could not ask why the sky is blue.

woahh i knew this comic was bs! at least they got the part where snails can talk and write books right

When you look at it for a bit you'll see its a circle.

There were dead ass people who would just sit and stare at the sun. Ancient astronomy was crazy.

Mr. Snail, can you tell me why it's Istanbul not Constantinople?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.

“This topic has already been thoroughly covered by They Might Be Giants, as mentioned in my book… which you can buy… right here.”

That's nobody's business but the Turks

Because Constantinople is a mouthful. Source: Me.
