An equivalent madness to the “sky is falling” is the continents are sinking, i.e. water levels are rising. Plate tectonics indeed moves continents around the earth’s surface. Slowly for certain, but moving. In a spurt of silly mental agility it can be thought that if the continents are moving, that means they are floating. So, how can the ocean water rise above a floating object?
Remember, a joke will frequently include a bit of truth and a lot of reality.
Just to complicate this topic, the continental shifts are making mountains rise. Wonder where that mass of earth used to raise mountains comes from? If water fills in the space created by the earth thrust upward wouldn’t that lower ocean levels?

To turn my leering leaching eye to the realm of "Notes", for example "Community Notes" and all other sources of information sometimes also called data either for or not for "checking" or any other purpose such as research. Can there be identified anything that is useless before one's encounter with such note (source)?
Requisite condition: How would one know for themself?
Do I hear it now? What you say?
Self-assigned complication rating: <1>). Or maybe zero.
Point: Everything old is always new to some or many.

What I am quite but not completely sure of is that I would support not preventing anyone from not doing what they do not want to do. However, in some situations I would not recommend such behavior.
