The Earth is shaped like a giant doughnut. Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.

It's true, when I look straight up I see the other side of the world.

That mapping makes no sense, all the continents are repeated on the inside of the ring.

Those are the bizzaro versions.
It works for final fantasy at least

how do you account for the transit of venus across the sun's surface?
is earth the only toroidal object in the universe?
>>7712554
There could be other toroidal planets but Venus and the sun are spheres.
>>7712601
case 1: other planets are very small compared to the earth and revolve around the mini sun in the center of the toroid. They would have crashed into earth long ago and would not be observable
case 2: the planets we observe are outside of the earth-sun system and very far away to look so small
debunked by observed retrograde motion or are close enough that earth would be affected by their gravitation. what causes those far away planets to move?

If the earth were a giant donut the americans would have eaten it.
>>7712485
if only it was anon, if only it was. That would make map projections a lot easier and representing position a lot easier. We wouldn't have to deal with bullshit like longitude lines converging to the same point.
Sure gravity would be fucked up and it would not be stable, but the ability to treat the earth like a cartesian grid has to at least be worth something.
Also, provided that there is no atmosphere(and a couple other ridiculous assumptions), you could theoretically have a moon orbiting through the ring
>>7712485
Depends on your mood.

holy shit, it can exist! http://io9.com/what-would-the-earth-be-like-if-it-was-the-shape-of-a-d-1515700296
WE MUST MAKE THE EARTH TOROIDAL! I don't care if we have to burn all the fissiles in the solar system to do it, it needs to be done!
>>7711351
This thread pretty much explains how that could be possible, it might help you in your studies

Apology not accepted. You've ruined everything!
yes because fuck gravity
It sucks that they don't have flights between the inner and outer rings anymore. I'll never see my cousin again unless I try to cross arctic or antarctic ring on foot. :(

The inner ring is a frozen wasteland.

we are here.. disproved.. the centrificle force would throw anything on the outside ring into space, inner ring we would be able to see the other side at night or during soler eclipse

>Prove me wrong.
No. That demands too much of my waste-time.
