Discworld is actually flat, not a hemisphere—that way stuff doesn’t slide off the edges. One of the best things about Pratchett’s books is when he started including a map of the place.
Ancient philosopher: “The Earth is a sphere that sits in the middle on nothing in the middle of an almost entirely empty void, traveling at incomprehensible speeds which we are generally unaware of.”
Ancient friend: “Seriously dude, what have you been drinking?”

Thank you for this warm glow today. T’hell with the arguing. I’m just going to bask in my own Verne-like algae-laden bliss.
