I made the earth flat and this happened

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]All right, we're checking out the only game we're legitimately creating a flat earth ends the life of every person on the planet. It's Universe Sandbox.

[00:00:08]Universe Sandbox is a game where I press the pause button and it's almost always on Florida. See, there's been a new update that allows the Earth to experience what it's like to slowly get turned into a flapjack or a pancake, if you will. I thought this is particularly interesting because it's going to allow us to see what happens to the planet and Florida. I say that because Florida is distinctly different from the rest of the planet when the Earth becomes flat.

[00:00:36]How do you make it flat? By increasing the rotational period, of course. I guess technically it's like decreasing the rotational period. You're increasing the rotational speed. You know what I mean? As we allow the Earth to spin, you can see everything looks quite normal.

[00:00:50]We'll go ahead and pull up the graph so we can watch as the oceans inevitably boil because that seems to be the thing that happens every single time I touch anything on the planet. Here we go.

[00:01:01]You'll notice that the planet sits at a nice average of -23° C. Listen, that's an average. All right, it's from the coldest to the hottest. Elevation, the highest one is 19 kilm. There's your gas pressure. Liquid depth. This is going to change a lot. Now, in order to make this work, we're going to go over here and we're going to, you know, you got to have a baseline. We're going to start slow. Right now, the rotation period is slightly less than a day. Why? No idea.

[00:01:31]Probably something we as a collective species did wrong. Oh, here's a nice average temperature. 7.49. Now, what we'll do is we'll just speed everything up a little bit. There we go. We'll we'll bring it down to 08. There we are.

[00:01:45]Now, in general, I don't think that you're going to see too much like planetary distortion at this point. I think anyway, cloud cover is still in its normal area. I will go ahead and allow the planet to spin a little bit faster here. Let time go on. Yeah, the ice thickness, liquid depth, everything seems to be okay. The temperature on the planet is holding fairly normally. I'm going to move things along very, very quickly here. Yeah, other than that, you can see temperature goes up, temperature goes down. Pretty much everything's fine knowing that. We're going to slow things down again and bring it down to uh.7 of a day. We'll see if that does anything.

[00:02:22]There we go. An hour and a half has gone by. We're not all dead yet. Well, hold on. I say that. Where's my numeric at?

[00:02:29]Oh, Earth similarity is still 99.7.

[00:02:32]We're fine now. The liquid depth is starting to get deeper. Uh probably because most of the water is starting to move downward. I would expect, you know, toward the middle. My theory is is that the faster we rotate the Earth and the flatter it gets, the more it's going to be wearing what is effectively an oceanic seat belt. We'll go ahead and move things along here a little bit faster. Yeah, the water's getting a little deeper. It's still not too bad.

[00:02:59]The average temperature has fallen quite a bit. Cloud cover still seems to be mostly the same. I don't know if I look at the top of the planet, does it look like any of the water has receded? I mean, maybe. Oh, yeah. I guess it has.

[00:03:11]You can actually see it starting to peel away here as if though the earth is balding going on in the bottom happening here too. A lot of ice kind of hides it.

[00:03:19]It's like wearing a hat. All right, let's go down to 0.5. See what that does. Go right past 6 because nobody likes you. Right down to 0.5. So we are now half a day of rotational period.

[00:03:31]Oddly, the Earth doesn't seem to be any flatter yet. So I don't really know how fast we're going to have to force it to go to get flat. Maybe it's a little bit wider. That could also just be like a placebo effect. Is everyone dead yet? Or is everyone still alive? Everyone is totally fine. Well, you know, 15% of them aren't fine, but you know, 84% is pretty good. What happened to the other 15%, you ask? They probably drowned. Uh because the water level is still rising.

[00:03:58]I also wasn't sure if the gravity of the Earth would change. It doesn't look like it has. I'm going to go ahead and speed things up even faster here. Just see if anything happens. What's the temperature like? Temperature is actually fine. Move things way along here. All right. So, we've gotten to the point where we're, you know, rotating like twice as fast or whatever, but there's still really no difference. So, you know what? We're going to go down to 0.25. There we go.

[00:04:22]Down past.3 2. There we are. Well, I went a little bit past it. There we go. Move things along. So, at this point, you can very Okay, you can very clearly see the water moving away. The Earth is getting wider, by the way. Like you can like it's very obvious now. This is what the earth should look like. You can fit like two earths in here. You can very clearly see the water peeling away from both the north and the south side of the earth.

[00:04:50]If you were to go down here, there is like water missing for 500 miles from the poles. Actually, hold on. I I got to got to look for a second here. How's uh how's everyone doing? Where's Florida at? Oh, well, Florida's no longer beachfront property because the beach just moved out like 400 miles. I guess in a way that means that Florida is up uh cuz there's a lot more area to live in. I don't really know what the land what the like the land is like over in the Gulf of Mexico. How good it is for housing, but it's there. On the plus side, too, you can now just walk from America over to Europe. And quite a bit of uh quite a bit of the ocean has kind of left the building. Now what that does mean is that the uh where where the water is thickest. Hold on here. It is now 11 kilometers deep. I assume that that means that the temperature is going to be changing. Oh, let's take a look here. So the hottest temperature on the planet uh is going down. What's funny is the coldest temperature of the planet is kind of just staying where it is. The average temperature of the planet has gone down. How's everyone doing?

[00:05:52]Everyone dead yet? Okay, 25% of the people are dead. Like the earth similarity is still fine because everything that makes up the earth is still there. It's just getting like hydraulic pressed. Yeah, the average temperature is like continuing to drop.

[00:06:05]I'm actually going to let this go for a while. Just see if there's like an ending point. Uh it's still dropping.

[00:06:10]Oh, hold on. There we go. So now it's kind of going up and then it goes down. So yeah, in general the average temperature is now like below 7° C. Ahead and slow things down here. All right, time to go to I don't know, 0.1, I would say. We'll see where that gets us. There we go. Oh my god, you can actually watch the water moving as I do this. And the Earth getting violently flatter. Wonder if I can make it to 0.1 without the Earth imploding.

[00:06:40]Slow, slow.

[00:06:44]The average temperature is going way up.

[00:06:51]Okay, we're set. The Earth is now egg-like. It is now effectively an egg.

[00:06:56]Like almost Oh, you can actually just hover over it and see what it's supposed to look like. That's good. That gives us a perfect indicator of exactly how flat we're getting. I just noticed, too, maybe it does look kind of flat up here.

[00:07:07]But this is good. This this gives us this gives us the true the true identity of what the Earth used to be like. The liquid depth is now 17 km at its deepest point. Uh over in the realm of heat. Uh, I don't know. It's kind of still the same. Let me go ahead and speed things up here. Okay. All right. Uh, yeah, the Earth is an egg. Uh, average temperature is up, but there is water on the planet.

[00:07:33]Like, we could survive, I would expect.

[00:07:36]I like how there's just green up here, even though there's no actual moisture near it. How's life expectancy? Okay, still 63%. Not bad. Now, as egg-like as the Earth looks, it's still not what I would consider flat. So, obviously, we're going to have to keep going here.

[00:07:50]Go ahead and slow things way down. I like how when I slowed things down, the earth like vomited water everywhere. All right, we'll we'll slow it down that much. There we go. So, I guess 005.

[00:08:02]Well, actually, hold on. We're we're seeing we're like in real time, we're seeing the Earth literally change. So, I guess we'll go through this kind of slowly. So, there we go. We're at 0807.

[00:08:15]The Earth is is starting to get pretty slender. Uh now now it's getting to the point of like out of egg hood and you know starting to get into I don't know kind of like crushed grape. Here we go.

[00:08:26]7 average temperature is now 14° C or 57° F. I would show you where Florida is but it's kind of hard to tell because of like the fact that it you know this is what we're looking at now. It is right over here. Florida is at least somewhat close to what I would consider a body of water. There's not a lot of cloud cover anywhere else on the planet. All the clouds are in the middle obviously. Now there's some up here actually. Still some ice over here too. How are the poles looking? Yeah, they're still covered. Nice. We are now dealing with 22 km deep water. The elevation still the same because it's like the shape of the earth changing, not so much the topography. All right, let's go ahead and continue here. So, I guess we'll go down to 05. Oh god. Okay. All right, that ain't good. We have an instance uh where the Earth is now vomiting. The Earth is vomiting its insides out into the universe, and that's probably bad.

[00:09:19]You notice right here, the Earth is losing mass. Okay, never mind. Now, the chunks that it had vomited is coming back into the face of the Earth. This is effectively like vomiting out the window of a car. Like, yeah, you're throwing up, but it's just going right back into your face. That is exactly what's happening. Now, as you can imagine, when this occurs, the average temperature of the planet goes up to 1500° C. And more than likely, everyone instantaneously dies. They do. But I have a plan. Even though the earth is on fire and this makes us all very sad because we have burned our our Oreo cookie. I'm going to let time go by and see if eventually it calms down and everything cools off.

[00:09:58]Let's go ahead and speed things up here.

[00:10:00]There we go. The Earth is still vomiting chunks out. Okay. Okay. The temperature is going down. This is good. The Earth is recovering. Everything is okay. Now, unfortunately, most of the liquid probably evaporated off the planet, which is bad. But I at least want to get it back to a normal temperature before we continue to make it flatter. Okay.

[00:10:18]180 70 60 50 40 30. Hey, there is still some water left. Hey.

[00:10:25]Uh, the average temperature of the Earth is a little bit colder than it was previously. Uh, not a lot though. 7°C.

[00:10:32]Honestly, the planet is kind of okay.

[00:10:34]The only thing that's bad is that the areas where it's cold, it's really cold.

[00:10:39]It's negative degrees Celsius at its coldest point.

[00:10:45]That is47° F. What's funny is the deepest part of the water is still the same. It's actually still 22 km. Problem is, there's just less of the water to go around. Florida's still fine. Still looks pretty green, if you ask me. Best place to live right now, I don't know, like Panama Canal. How's Australia doing? Hey, Australia has some water touching it.

[00:11:06]That's good. Forgot to name the Earth.

[00:11:09]All right, Earth. Let us continue onward here. Now, we do have a lot of particles coming off of the Earth again. I'm just going to let that continue. We're going to we we need to we need to move along here. Okay, we got to get down. We got to get down more more. Okay, that's a lot of vomiting. Okay, the Earth is very sad right now. I may I may have to lay off the Earth for just a minute. The Earth is losing a lot of mass. I like how there's still a.1% chance of life.

[00:11:32]I'm not going to lie, the Earth kind of looks awesome. This is where we are now from where it should have been. So, if I slow things like way down, we're talking like disgustingly like as slow as the game will let me slow it down. Okay. 01 ms a second. Okay. And I start doing this. What happened? Does the Earth just evaporate? Like, is there a point where the Earth completely ceases to exist?

[00:11:58]Okay. Okay.

[00:12:00]Yeah, they're still here. Nothing's happened yet. Now, remember, we're at uh, you know, 01 millisecond per second.

[00:12:06]I'm going to I'm going to really crank this down. Like, you know what? Let's just go. If we're going to go, let's go.

[00:12:11]We're going to go all the way here. And then what I'm going to do Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, god. Okay. All right. Um, I may have gone slightly too far. I I may have uh I may have created an instance where the Earth now has irrepricable acne. Um let this go and see what happens right now. This is actually a a very cool firestorm happening. We'll speed up a little bit here. Oh god.

[00:12:48]How fast are the particles flying?

[00:12:49]casual 1/3 the speed of light or 100,000 kilometers a second. Ah, yes. Nothing like creating a 1/3 the speed of light shotgun blast that will move across the entire uh solar system. Okay, go ahead.

[00:13:10]Let things go through here. And I'm pretty sure we may have lost the planet.

[00:13:16]I don't know. We'll see. There's kind of like a a a mist that is chilling out where the planet used to be. Now there's only been, you know, it's only been like 5 minutes since we started this. So, we're about to find out if there's anything left. There is not. In the mist, the Earth has turned into an incredible fireworks display of death.

[00:13:33]Uh, and it actually looks like the sun has been pulled out of position. I don't actually know what happened here. I don't know if this is from the speed of the rotation of the Earth or what.

[00:13:43]So, we found out what happens if you make the Earth flat. But that wasn't flat enough. Like, the Earth didn't get to the point where we can enjoy a truly flat Earth. But there is a way for us to make this happen. All I have to do is turn off the fragmentation. And I think that if we do this, go ahead and slow this down. I think that if we do this, we should get to see like an actual like hyper flat earth, like one that looks crazy. So, what we're going to do is slow things down. There we go. Yeah.

[00:14:14]Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Yes. Yes. Uh-huh. This is what you expect when you talk about flat earth. Woo! Wo!

[00:14:26]Oh no. I think I've made like an actual Earth Frisbee over here. So, if you just keep going, what happens? Like, I'm just going to I'm just going to keep this rolling. Oh my god. Holy glitchy mess.

[00:14:35]Okay. And then right like that. So now go and turn this like this. Speed things up cuz we want it to cool off so we can look at it. Oh yeah, you have to slow this thing down so much. Oh my god, that's awesome. Okay, we legitimately have an Earth now that looks like I don't like a Frisbee. I like how the water is just exploding from the center of the planet. All right, what are what are the numbers we have here? Not flat enough is the new name, by the way.

[00:15:03]Standard temperature 106° C. Fian temperature. It's fine. Uh, am I reading this right? Is that saying that the water depth is 323 astronomical units? It does. What is that in meters? Ah, 4.83 bazillion gajillion nonillion m OF WATER DEPTH.

[00:15:22]HOW? I HAVE no idea how we managed to do that. Okay. Um, I don't think that's supposed to happen. I'm not going to lie. Can I get this flatter? Oh lord. Oh god. Whoop. More. More. More. Oh, my GPA is going up. There is no liquid anymore, by the way. It's 500,000° C of an average temperature in case anyone's wondering. Let me go ahead and speed things up here. Got to let the planet cool down so we can see it. Here we are.

[00:15:48]Even if I slow it down to the slowest possible, I can I can slow it. Uh, it still glitches all over the place because of how fast it's rotating. I have to literally just stop the entire simulation to take a look at where Florida Oh, there it is. Okay. So, right at about that amount of rotational period, the Earth literally ceases to exist. I'd like to take a moment to mention that even though the Earth ceases to exist just now, there's still a 1.7% Earth similarity rating. Well, we made the Earth flat and somehow the water depth got to be 7 billion trillion meters deep. That was interesting. Hey folks, hope you enjoyed this episode of Universe Sandbox. Till next time, stay safe Foxy. So much love.
