70% of the worlds surface is covered in water. None of that water is fizzy. Therefore the earth is technically flat…

I’ll be my coat, no need to send the pitchforks.

You're so wrong!

Only 70% of the Earth is flat.

I’m on part of the remaining 30% and feel flat everyday. Explain that, mainstream media!

If the world is round, why are my tits flat? Checkmate libtards!

Good news, ocean acidification is literally the result of the ocean absorbing more CO2, and thus becoming less flat. Bad news, it's kinda causing a shit ton of animals to die, especially coral.

There are natural mineral springs that make water fizzy. Just saying

Don't worry. The water might be flat, but we've been working on carbonating the air for some time now.
