Why does the toilet flush the other way in Australia?


I'm having a hard time discerning sarcasm from true beliefs in this thread, so I could be getting trolled, but this is not accurate.

Well, to be more precise, the direction a toilet flushes is determined by the design of the toilet, not its location relative to the equator. Toilets in the US and Australia can flow in any direction they so choose.

Additionally, who in their right mind doesn't include Australia as a continent. You can make a good case for combining the Americas or Europe and Asia, but Australia is a continent.

Or, why does the sun rise from and set over the horizon, instead of just getting smaller in the sky as it gets further away?

light doesn't travel forever


ok
So the sun is a flashlight focusing it's light in just one direction. Seems like if there's light on certain places on earth, then there would be no light anywhere else in the solar system, since the flashlight sun is only shining on Earth. Or does the sun have multiple beams of light that it shoots only at the planets in our solar system? Is the rest of space completely dark all of the time?

Can you explain to me why we don't have pictures of the back side of the Earth, since it's flat? Or are you going to tell me we've never been to space?

At what point, if i start digging, will i fall into space?

What is on the edge of earth? Is it a waterfall into space, or do i run into a fake wall like on the Truman Show?

Why do we have satellites in orbit? If the world were relatively flat, we could just have really tall antennas to communicate with China, or at least one taller than any mountain in between the points of communication.

That explains why people on the south pole don't fall into space. Assuming the atmosphere isn't real either, which it probably isn't.

How come when I am at the beach ships seem to sink down past the horizon?

What's the point about lying about the earth's shape for centuries?

Depends if they were facing you, but there are alot of trees, mountains, buildings that might get in the way.
