You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

I know turtles don't as the subsonic vibration would travel up the elephants' legs and torsos and cause the Disc to literally disintegrate. Even a stable magical field can't compensate for that much chelotectonic activity.

We can also assume they are not very smooth, as elephants would require traction to avoid slipping off the shell while the turtle is in orbit

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

The joke is flat earth and also extremely creepy anime perverts obsessing over the breast size of teenage girls

e: to clarify, I'm agreeing with you, it's poo poo

spiritual people believe it's just 6500 years old
paedophiles believe it's just young enough to gently caress

They also have very shallow roots, so in heavy rain large eucalyptus trees have a tendency to fall over (fortunately, they do not then catch fire and explode).

That's part of the story but not the whole thing. They also have a feast/famine water management system, where they will go without for a long time then suck up as much water as they can to their upper reaches when a drought breaks. This can make them too heavy in the upper branches and cause them to break off. This kills a few campers every now and then in Southeastern Australia.

Never camp under a gum tree, those things are dreadful.

Were trees really the best you could do though? You have one of the few venomous mammals on earth, and your curse California with trees? Trees that take like 100 years to do anything, not even something cool like that plant that if you brush against it you'll be in incurable agony.

Just for that I'm going to bring a single mating pair of armadillo to Australia so that within 5 years your entire continent will be over run with armored leprosy carrying bugcats.
