:Ponytail: These tectonic plates look pretty eroded. When did you last flip them?<br />
:Cueball: Flip them?<br />
<br />
:Ponytail: Yeah, to use the underside of the continent.<br />
:Cueball: ...Never?<br />
:Ponytail: Wow. Explains the eons of weathering, debris basins, and ... is this isostatic depression?<br />
:Cueball: It's rebounding!<br />
<br />
:Ponytail: You should really flip it. You'll get a whole new landscape!<br />
:Cueball: But I like '''''this''''' landscape!<br />
<br />
:Ponytail: Just think how warm and fresh the other side will feel.<br />
:Cueball: A sea of molten rock?<br />
:Ponytail: Good for the feet. Helps exfoliate.<br />
