70% of the worlds surface is covered in water. None of that water is fizzy. Therefore the earth is technically flat…

You're so wrong!

Only 70% of the Earth is flat.

I’m on part of the remaining 30% and feel flat everyday. Explain that, mainstream media!

Good news, ocean acidification is literally the result of the ocean absorbing more CO2, and thus becoming less flat. Bad news, it's kinda causing a shit ton of animals to die, especially coral.
