Yes, but the concentration of CO₂ is about 420 ppm from 2023 measurements. Whereas your average carbonated soda is around 10,000 to 15,000 ppm. And most people call anything below 2,000 ppm flat.
Was gonna say this. Man we are so fucking the oceans. I personally feel we are past the tipping point but it's gonna be damn scary when the oceans hit their limit and there's a mass dropoff in life due to the water being inhospitable.
I expected most volcanic gasses (and geysers) to be largely sulfuric. After looking it up, I have to agree. The Earth is full of dissolved gasses making it not flat.

it most certainly IS carbonated though.

Something to consider.

So atmosphere is not yet sparkling?

We’ll get there don’t worry! The world’s biggest corporations are carbonating the ocean as fast as they can!

At the very least, we're doing our damnedest to fill the ocean with carbonic acid

The Earth's surface area is about 70% percent covered by water.
More than 95 percent of the water is in the oceans, and they make up less than 1 percent of the Earth's total volume.
If you go by mass instead of volume the fraction is even lower.

So earth is basically barely wet, huh?

Moist at most.

Very true, and although my specialty is not geology, I'm fairly confident the magma is also not carbonated.

Idk, how do you explain geysers? If you taste the water runoff, it's very clearly carbonated (and nasty with a very metallic taste).

I'm not a geologist either, but I know there is in fact have a lot of gaz dissolved into magma.
Considering there is far more magma than water on earth, I can confidently say that eath is not flat.

Since I am a pedant, I would agree with you after looking up volcanic gas composition. I love how we can get to the smart stuff via dumb memes.

Ok, so it's flat and on top of another object, like a board on a wheel! The surface is flat but wobbles a bit.

Hey, we're working on it alright.
We just need to continue to pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and eventually all the water will be carbonated.

We're working really hard on turning the oceans into Perrier though.

Drink a full glass of sea water, see if it still qualify as flat.

Already did. Didn't see the wave coming. It definitely made me flat and I lost my sunglasses.
