What people don't realize is that these levels are built with a barely-perceptible curve to match the shape of the Earth.

See, this is why I post stupid shit like this. One, for the comments, and two, for info like this. Thank you kind stranger 👍 ☺️.

Just in case you are serious (can’t say for sure on internet) - he wasn’t.

A level would have to be unwieldy large before it would have to account for that. Thats completely made up.

It still makes me laugh all our building's paths and stuff like that are judged by a floating air bubble in a coloured liquid.

Now do it with a 15,000 mile long level.

Any spirit level is simply a measure of its tangent with centre of mass of the earth on its plane. I can use the same technique to prove a tennis ball is flat, I can prove thin air is flat….

Woahhh…. What if, everything is flat…. Duuuuude.

TAKE THIS GLOBEHEADS

FLAT EARTHERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE LAUGHING AT YOU

Oh well, at least both sides are laughing.

Well, that settles that I guess. Let’s argue about politics or religion instead…

GOD, NO, PLEASE, NO, DON'T!

@0x4E4F have you finally repented, or are you exhibiting your ignorance?

Turn a bowl upside-down and slap this bad boy on top of it. Boom, proof the bowl is a plate.
