As others have mentioned, it's a stitched composite from at least 4 shots
(probably more), probably using a fisheye lens or at least a very wide angle
rectilinear lens on a DSLR. The camera would probably have been mounted on a
tripod using a special pano bracket like this:

Plenty of dedicated software for pano stitching:

I personally like Hugin:
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
because it's open source and awesome. There's lots of interesting tutorials
linked from the hugin site, including images like the one you linked to.
You don't necessarily need expensive kit to have a go at this sort of thing, I
made this panorama myself shooting freehand with a midrange compact
point-and-shoot:

Maybe you missed the rage, Warp. "It's shopped. I can tell by the pixels."
was as much a meme as rick rolling or "it's a series of tubes!" It's
basically making fun of some famous dweeb who posted online that they could
tell something was shopped by the pixels. Usually followed by "I have seen
quite a few 'shops in my time" or some such. :-)

I used to use "autostitch." Now I use hugin. Another +1 for that. :-)

That still doesn't explain how the tripod somehow doesn't appear
anywhere in the photograph...

How is that possible, thought? How would you ever hold the camera still
enough?

A tripod.

So how do you shoot 360° without the tripod in view?

Magic.
Really. Magic.
Oh, OK, perhaps the way you do it is overlap two images that show
different angles, and when you stitch the images together, you eliminate
what you want.
Kinda like removing people from an image - you take multiple shots, and
use one image to "paint over" the content that you want to replace.
It's not difficult.
