A streamer plays Starfield and flies a spaceship directly toward Pluto while the scanner continues to show the planet at zero distance. The ship passes through the supposedly solid world, leading her to conclude that Pluto is flat and that she is currently inside it. The joke mocks the game’s empty, non-physical planet geometry and the absurdity of traveling so far only to discover a textured sphere with no real collision.

Ooh. It was flat. Pluto confirmed flat. Flat Earth. We just went right through it. Wait, but it still says zero. Hang on, am I inside Pluto? What happens if I turn around from here? It still says zero in front of me. I must be inside of Pluto right now.
