They are all hurtling through space on a rotating sphere tho, so it's again back to "they're floating on something."

No that’s what NASA wants you to think, the world is actually stationary and sitting on the back of a giant turtle.

Definitely 4 elephants standing on a turtle. No way a turtle could take the weight of the earth on its own.

"Only philosophers embark on this perilous expedition to the outermost reaches of language and existence. Some of them fall off, but others cling on desperately and yell at the people nestling deep in the snug softness, stuffing themselves with delicious food and drink. 'Ladies and Gentlemen,' they yell, 'we are floating in space!' But none of the people down there care."
