This is how dinosaurs went extinct, according to flat earthers

Overview

The meme features a 3D render of the flat Earth disc model floating against a starry outer space background, with white text at the top that reads 'This is how dinosaurs went extinct, according to flat earthers'. The unstated punchline, referenced by the original post title 'The plot twist I wasn't expecting', is the satirical implication that under flat Earth belief, dinosaurs went extinct by falling off the edge of the flat disc planet, mocking the absurdity of flat Earth conspiracy theories.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed, originally shared under the title 'The plot twist I wasn't expecting'. It uses a common satirical format mocking flat Earth conspiracy beliefs, pairing a visual of the flat Earth disc with an absurd implied explanation for the dinosaur extinction event for comedic effect.

This is a single-panel absurdist meme. The upper section features a grayscale illustration of a prehistoric scene: a large long-snouted spinosaurid dinosaur stands in the left foreground facing right, while a smaller theropod dinosaur roars toward it from the right background, with multiple pterosaurs flying in the hazy, smoky prehistoric sky. Below the illustration, bold text in alternating orange and white font reads 'DINOSAURS ARE OFFICIALLY EXTINCT'. The joke comes from framing the widely known, millions-of-years-old fact of dinosaur extinction as a new, urgent breaking news announcement, creating a deadpan, silly comedic effect.

This is a humorous edited infographic of the solar system. It shows standard spherical depictions of the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus placed along their orbital paths, with a flat, square model of Earth replacing the usual spherical Earth in its correct orbital position between Venus and Mars. The text at the top of the image reads 'Well, this is awkward...'. The joke satirizes the fringe flat Earth conspiracy theory by highlighting how absurd and out of place a flat Earth looks when placed alongside the universally accepted spherical model of all other planets in the solar system.

This satirical meme visualizes the classic flat-Earth conspiracy model, depicting Earth as a thick flat disc floating in starry outer space. A cyan highlighted zoom callout points to the vertical rocky side wall of the disc Earth, zooming in to show two mountain goats standing on this vertical edge. The joke plays on the common flat-Earth conspiracy claim that Earth has a giant wall at its outer edge, and pokes fun at NASA's Artemis moon exploration mission by implying the mission accidentally confirmed the flat-Earth model by finding goats living on the edge wall.

The flat-earthers have finally won. Thank you, Artemis

A meme consisting of a top text overlay and a composite image. The text reads: 'Flat earthers watching every conspiracy turn out to be true except flat earth:' Below the text, there is an animated gray character (likely Squidward Tentacles from SpongeBob SquarePants) with a long nose, looking through horizontal bars. Behind the bars, a second figure wearing a helmet sits dejectedly on a striped bed in a room with framed pictures on the walls. The meme humorously portrays flat earth believers as waiting in vain while other conspiracy theories are (hypothetically) proven true.

This is an absurdist single-panel meme set against a starry outer space background dotted with distant stars and glowing celestial bodies. A digitally enlarged black cat with wide, shiny, slightly dazed-looking eyes looms large behind a depiction of the planet Earth in the lower foreground. Overlaid bold white text across the center of the image jokes that scientists have confirmed this giant cosmic cat is the actual cause of the Earth's rotation, leaning into the popular silly meme trope of attributing real natural phenomena to ridiculous, fictional causes for comedic effect.

The meme has a header text at the top reading 'A world map according to fish'. Below the header is an adjusted world map projection where all blue ocean areas are the central, dominant part of the visual, while all continental land masses are reduced to small, peripheral regions surrounding the large ocean space. This visual gag presents the world from the perspective of fish, for whom ocean water is the primary relevant living environment and land is a negligible, unimportant edge feature, contrasting with standard human-centric world maps that center land masses.

This is a satirical meme mocking flat Earth conspiracy theory, using Minecraft game mechanics for the joke. The top text poses the question: "If the Earth is flat, how come slimes never spawn?", paired with a Minecraft screenshot of a fully flat superflat world with multiple green slime mobs visible across the flat terrain. The joke relies on the Minecraft game mechanic that slimes naturally spawn only in underground areas below a specific Y-coordinate depth; if the entire world was 100% flat at the surface with no underground layers, slimes would have no valid location to spawn naturally, turning the question into a gotcha that jokes about flat Earth belief.

The meme consists of a top text block in white font on a black background that reads: 'Flat-Earthers watching as all their theories come true except for the flat-Earth theory:'. Below the text is an image featuring an animated gray character with a long, pointed nose peeking through horizontal window bars. Behind the bars, there is a photograph of several formally dressed individuals (men and women) standing closely together, appearing to converse or pose. The animated character's posture suggests curiosity or surveillance, creating a humorous contrast between the satirical text about flat-earthers and the real-world scene they are 'watching'.

This image is a screenshot of a social media post from the Flat Earth Society, with annotations highlighting a funny accidental contradiction. The Flat Earth Society claims the Earth is flat (not a spherical globe), but their post states 'The Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe.' The word 'globe' is circled in red to draw attention to this unintended self-contradiction. Below the original post, a user comment from Physics-Astronomy.com reads 'Say that again, but slowly' which calls out the mistake, and an arrow points to this comment to highlight the joke.

The meme features two distinct sections. The top section is a humorous flow chart depicting a fictional cycle: Dinosaurs evolve into Dinosaur bones, which become Fossil fuel, then Petroleum, leading to Polypropylene plastic (shown as colorful pellets), and finally Plastic Dinosaurs, completing the loop. The bottom section shows a couple lying in bed; the woman, appearing concerned, has a thought bubble: 'I bet he's thinking about other girls,' while the man, asleep, is implied to be thinking: 'Plastic Dinosaurs are real Dinosaurs.' This contrast highlights a common relationship trope where one partner misinterprets the other's trivial thoughts as something significant.

This humorous meme features an inverted world map where Earth's land and water areas are fully swapped. Regions that appear as oceans on standard world maps are depicted as green and brown landmasses with mountain ranges and polar ice caps, while all normal continental land areas are shown as blue bodies of water. The joke plays on the title 'Fish be like:', imagining that this inverted map is how a fish would visualize the world, as their primary habitat (water) is presented as the inhabitable 'land' area, and actual dry land is treated as unoccupied 'water' on a fish's hypothetical world map.
