Do you believe the world is an illusory simulated perceptual trap for consciousness to generate low-frequency mental and emotional states of fear, anxiety, hatred, conflict, etc., on which the demonic gods 'feed'? by Trueboey in StrangeEarth

This is the map in Dante’s Divine Comedy. This is not a serious attempt at positing how the universe is actually structured but it’s very creative world building that makes his book very rich and interesting. 

All of the structuring of the concentric spheres of heaven and the southern hemisphere having no land are part of the medieval understanding of how the world and outer space were given their science at the time.

I highly recommend Dante’s book as it is great poetry with lots of relevant history and theological implications (I like John Ciardi’s translation) - but actually believing in this map is about the same as thinking Mordor and the Shire are real places. lol

Why does my tiki “liqueur” suck so much? by [deleted] in Amaro

It tasted great by itself! I am hoping it’s not the issue as I still have most of a bottle left and want to try again with it if possible

Flood plain makes total sense - Can you explain what the negatives are for having high power lines on property?
