This is like the kinda movie that starts with a planetary establishing shot and then you assume it takes place in a different planet, but the plot twist is just global warming and it was earth all along
This is more like polarity shift Antarctica where sea level stays similar to current levels. Way back in college I used melted antarctica with sea level rise for an evolutionary biology seminar. And it is much less interesting.

The opening to waterworld was so fucking cool. Rest of the movie was pretty meh but dam that was a cool opening.

Waterworld was a damn cool movie overall. Last time I watched it as a kid though, but I keep the memory of a cool movie.

Keep it that way. My rewatch as an adult took a little of the magic away.

It's actually still totally awesome, you just have to remember to have fun.

Good to know! It's not that I knowingly avoided it to keep memories pristine, I just somehow never revisited it. But now I kinda feel like it

Sea levels would rise 200 feet all over the world if we did.

If we shift the earths axis enough, the ice will just go somewhere else lol

Plus they’d have to use turnwise and widdershins since every direction is north or south.
Wait… is Discworld Antarctica?

Great A'Tuin found Earth and thought it would be nice to go for a swim in the southern ocean.

I'm worried about the elephants...

They can survive in the vacuum of space, so they'll be fine.

Just that part of Earth.
Oh no, it’s not “flat Earth theory” it’s “flat tire Earth theory!”

The earth is a marble with a smooth base, so it doesn't roll away

Is that where Italy’s other boot has been? The Romans were looking everywhere for that!

Still looks cool. You have one major land mass and some sizeable islands, so lots of opportunity for different cultures to emerge.
