There's no reality to pull. Everything is compression and expansion and you can't have compression without expansion which is the reason for compression.
Nothing can pull but we are offered push and pull in thought to make visual comparisons, that's all.
Compression is caused by the displacement of objects or even molecules or atoms if you want to go down that route for clarity.
Atmospheric compression against our push into it and displacement of it by our very own dense mass offers that compression of the atmosphere by displacement and the very same atmosphere displaced is compressing right back onto us and keeping out feet firmly on the ground.
Gravity is a magical mystery made up to keep a globe and space alive. It's utter nonsense.
Any reasonable amount of water against atmospheric pressure will offer the same thing. Conformation to any container and a surface level.
Of course, it's still wet. There's not enough water left to fully overcome the atmospheric pressure around the ball so it takes a lot longer for the much less dense mass of it to overcome the resistance of the atmospheric stack below and around.
Make sure you keep adding this as others do and we can have a giggle and go from there.
I find it bemusing why so many people still think we live on a spinning globe but then I realise I was whacked with this and in this day and age we are saturated with space stuff and spinning globes, so it's not really that surprising.
Some people eventually take the time to question and once they do they see a different setup and cannot go back.
