When Parallel Lines Have A Meetup

Two ants on a sphere confidently declared "their trajectories will never cross," forgetting they live on a curved surface, not a flat plane. Classic non-Euclidean geometry fail! This is basically what happens when you apply flat-space thinking to our curved universe. Einstein's rolling in his grave while these ants are about to have their tiny minds blown when they inevitably collide. Next time someone tells you parallel lines never meet, just hand them a globe and watch their existential crisis unfold.
