The Earth is Flat?

[Danoff]

My own observation? Don't know, i haven't been high enough to see the earth as a ball.

I posted a video where you can see the ball. The guy walks down a hill and sees the curvature of the ball.

Go to your closest mountain and drive away from it, and watch as it dips behind the horizon.

Better yet, have someone else drive away from it while you watch through the rear window. Just saying...

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that earth is more of a perfect sphere than a billiard ball, so it makes little difference. I would not have called a billiard ball pear shaped though.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere about a guy who, in a moment of poor judgement while attempting to take his own life, accidently shot Death who'd just appeared to deliver him from his physical body to the next realm, and having shot and killed Death, was forced to take his place. Just saying...

The pear shape attributed to Earth is an exaggeration used to demonstrate the points I noted.

That video seems to support the globe, other videos seem to support a flat plane. So we are just going around in circles, pun intended.

Seriously? A real Flatloid in here? xD

Pretty sure he was high on LSD

Nooooot quite. One video supports a globe, the other relies on information that is not actually included in the video (distance to the subject) and isn't otherwise apparent from the video. So one of those videos is a self-contained demonstration of something that cannot be readily explained by flat earth theory, and the other is incomplete.

Never heard that term but I'm a neutral. Of course if I was 100% believing in it I would be in a zoo or something right.

You can't be serious saying that you are neutral. And your avatar tells a story. =)

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Would I bet my life the earth is not a globe? Definitely not.

Absolutely.

 

[Sage Ages]

All I've gotten out of this thread so far is a multiple reasons why the earth is indeed round, and that flat-earthers (and probably many people who aren't involved in certain fields) seem to be terrible at estimating distances.

Well, it is a globe. I personally tested some things that the Flatloids were claiming and discovered that they were all lying... and how easy it was to test them. So yeah, I don't have any trust left in them.

 

[Dennisch]

Flat Earthers are great at ignoring actual facts and evidence and prefer to rely on people on the web who provide nothing but nonsense by talking out of their ass.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Good for you then for actually testing and seeing for yourself.

You can do it too, but it seems that you prefer to remain ignorant and unwilling to learn actual facts.

Maybe if you've been bouncing your billiard ball on concrete.

You can do this maths yourself, you don't need to rely on vague claims, but in short, any difference in height between two points on the Earth greater than 9,600m would be out of tolerance on a Billiard ball. Top of Everest to Bottom of Marinas trench is 19,842m

Don't overestimate my Math skills lol

You're not sure about the shape of the Earth, I don't think anyone here under or overestimates anything about you.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Lets hope you are correct

 

[TenEightyOne]

Lets hope you are correct

Apart from your mountainous mis-estimations have you tried any of the proofs for yourself yet?

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Proofs? There are no proofs yet for a flat earth

 

[Sage Ages]

There are no proofs yet, just circumstantial evidence for one side.

Fixed.

I've yet to see any convincing evidence that would suggest the earth is flat. Mostly internet babbling and half-assed experiments.

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Check out FEcore.org. Those experiments i would not call half assed

 

[Dennisch]

. Org.

And they're full assed experiments. They're talking out of their ass with dodgy experiments that lead to absolute nonsense.

It looks to me like the online presence of a German company specializing in lubricants.

What!? Finally some evidence... oh nevermind. :/

 

[WhiteFlight1]

Lol, my bad. Maybe quarter ass is better then

There are about a billion more pages that provide you with ACTUAL evidence, tests and everything in between, including the simplest of tests to prove that the Earth is a ball.

You are, just like your FE friends, so incredibly stubborn*, that you're ignoring all that information, just for the sake of being stubborn*.

*not the words I want to use but I agreed to the AUP.

So let me guess, you want me to drink bleach? Deep inside right?

Sorry if anyone is offended by me.

Who is suggesting anything even remotely along those lines?
