It’d have to be. Otherwise how could the ground be level if we were on the side of a sphere?

And old ass lazy light that's in no rush to get anywhere.

Ok, the turtles I believe I understand the turtle thing (Kachhapa), maybe. But the elephants and the old ass lazy light?

What?

Discworld. The light is slowed down by having to ooze through all the magic.

Oh cool! I’ve heard great things about Pratchett. Maybe I’ll give the series a whirl. Thanks!

There are many resources online regarding reading order / starting out suggestions (e.g. https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/). However I think the stories are usually light-hearted enough that you might as well start in the middle of a sub-series.
