Well its obviously a joke where the real kicker is that people are actually dumb enough to think she's serious.
But then again Snoopy Dogge thinks Game of Thrones is based off of real events.

To be fair her last point is true. You can't capture the actual curvature of the earth with a camera on the surface of earth.

Even then, it's hard to look at Snoop Dogg's tweet and have it interpreted for certain that he thought it was real history. Replace "historic reasons" with "the world's lore", and "before I got here" with "the history of this world". Frankly, that's a good reason as any to like Game of Thrones. From there the second half of the quote could simply reference the multiple continuities this show has to keep track of while pulling off an interesting story.

I forget the name of the effect, but the curvature of the earth makes it so that if you are out at sea and are looking through a telescope or something of the sort, things come into appearance top first. This phenomenon was how human civilization figured out that the world was round very early on and actually used that phenomenon to get a suprisingly decent estimate of the earth's size. And to be fair to snoop dog, a lot of things in game of thrones are based of real things from our history, even if some of the game of thrones' examples have a somewhat magical twist to them. For example, the Red Wedding was inspired by an event from the War of Roses and Valyrian Steel is inspired by Damascus Steel.

You can see the effects of a curved earth, but even from Mount Everest a camera will record a flat horizon.

Ok, I see what you are saying. I guess I just had a different definition for "capture the curvature of the earth".

Season 118, Episode 9467? That's almost as many episodes as the Pokemon cartoon.

This guy is my favorite troll. Look at how he replies to people's comments, it is hilarious. People are so dumb to think he's actually being serious, he is clearly trolling: A professional troll

Man, that guy's hollow world is a pretty cool sounding fantasy universe.
