False. This is an image, nobody lives inside an image, they live in the real world, which is not surrounded by a red circle.

[–] spittingimage 6 points 1 year ago

which is not surrounded by a red circle.

It is. I looked.

Suns going to go supernova just to spite this sentence.

This depends entirely on whether you consider aliens to be people (or if person is synonymous with human), and whether aliens exist (which they probably do).

If both of those are true, then this image would be false. The inverse would actually be true. Even if you would account everything behind the Earth that is also inside the circle, if you also assume life is mostly evenly spread out in the universe.

It also assumes no humans have found their way off this rock and multiplied.

Or that perhaps this planet was seeded by another…?

You can't possibly know this.

[–] Diprount_Tomato 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"people" refers to humans so we are indeed sure

Yeah. What if someone went into a black hole, broke newtonian physics (which apparently happens quite often around singularities), ended up going back in time (we're not sure it's completely impossible), and now there's a colony ship of 9 billion people on the other side of the universe? We couldn't possibly know for sure. And if in fact the universe is infinitely large and time goes on forever, then if it's possible it's almost likely. But now we're getting into the multiverse thing...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the universe is infinite, does that imply infinite possibility?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes... Yes it does. Which can cause a lot of paradoxes...

Another version of us is out there wondering if we exist. We too are wondering if we exist.

So are they!

[–] Ddhuud 1 points 1 year ago

Have you checked?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

wow, that's crazy, why is that? does the red circle emit some sort of brainwashing to compel people to live there? is this a global conspiracy? people, we gotta break free and move outside the red circle! don't let Big Circle run your life!

It’s a rehab center for people that got addicted to oxygen and water at 14.7 PSI

Of course it was taken by people who escaped, but they couldn’t make it far without their addiction forcing them back.

Truly sad to mock those with addictions

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

nah, you're clearly missing half the earth...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

PROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wait, is it a circle or a sphere? If the circle is on a single plane then flat earth confirmed?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

no, it's a cone shaped 3d object formed by projecting the circle through z in camera space

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

No, it's just a cylinder spanning the length of the observable universe. Obviously.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Wait that makes us all 2D

[–] Ddhuud 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Define "people"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

As much as this seems obvious, I find it to have the same effect as the Pale Blue Dot image. We really are living on a tiny little rock residing in a void.

[–] spittingimage 3 points 1 year ago

More people are on my shit list than off it.

[–] GlitterInfection 2 points 1 year ago

The red circle is space debris from abandoned satellites.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

A claim you can't back up with proof, but which we all accept as true.
