The Earth is Flat?

[TheGeologist]

I have no doubt as to the globeness of the planet.

I don't know why, but this sentence is so funny to me

Globeness

 

[user3392345]

Holy Globeness flat earth have no chance here, damn reality

Language warning because of 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬.

I'm very sad this thread died out. I really wanted an FEer to argue science with me lol

There is nothing to argue. Colombus already proved its flat. If the earth was round why wouldnt they expand subways to trael to the other side of the world? It doenst make sense. It would be a lot faster, since a straight line is the fasterst route!

Why are you laughing? He discovered america way before the vikings and realised the america is the end of the world

For a light or a small ball of 30km in the sky that is suppose to be our sun shining on flat earth, it can for sure produce a lot of heat the last few months.

You've just given me another idea for how to disprove FE. Generally they depict the sun as relatively close to the earth. That would lead to quite large differences in radiation received as it approaches and recedes. As opposed to now where the sun is a long, long, long, long, long way away and any variation is essentially variation in sun output.

It's not that hard to build a ghetto radiation meter, even a solar cell and a multi-meter would probably be accurate enough to rule out whole classes of potential sun "orbits" above a flat earth.

He didn't discover America and the Vikings beat him by almost 500 years.

Don't waste your breath. Flat earthers are the most unlogical creatures on planet earth. They won't believe you. No insult intended to flat earthers.

I think he was being ironic.

FEers think the sun is close to the Earth? Then what happened to the location of Mercury and Venus?

Yes but Colombus discovered the Vikings before America. The vikings did however discover the earth was flat first, since they fell off it.
I even have proof: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097289/

They are probably just creations of NASA and projected into the sky with a giant projector.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the FE society not only acknowledged the existence of Mars, but also said it was observed to be round?

No clue, I stopped trying to follow their logic some time ago.

You can only observe Mars through a telescope. And they dont use a 1:1 focal length and distort the real shape. Like a fisheye lens distorts.

These are stars (and sky) at the firmament (dome) over flat earth. This firmament is supposedly created by God. No joke, this is what true flat earthers believe.

An example:

Not gonna bother viewing it as I don't want to give them views. But that sure is weird...

I just really want to know how mountains are created on a flat Earth. I can't fathom how any significant topography would be created without moving continents...

That’s easily be explained by something along the lines of “that’s how god made it”.

Just let it go and have heaps of fun with what they claim.

You have see it this way; they (FE) try to convince us that the earht is flat because it is a theory, a movement. We are not trying to convince them, we are only trying to help them to get out of the delusionial state they are in.

Mountains are dragons who are sleeping of course.

But they change over time. Even in human timescales, we can view it. FE is just such a flawed view, I'd love to hear how they think things worked.

Probably in the same line as people who do not "believe" in climate change. They probably think science is some kind of conspiracy.

I think you're overestimating how much FE pay attention to reality and actually try to explain it.

Reckon Flat Earther’s are really worried about global warming?

Celestial spheres. Or something. I dunno, circles are hard.

Google Earth now depicts the Earth as a globe. Used to be flat

What if this is the Mandela Effect and the world used to be flat but they changed it to a globe?!?

Man, that would cause a helluva 🤬 earthquake

Edit: WAIT WHAT IF ITS TRUE? MAYBE THATS WHAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS?!

Dinosaur fossils were planted by satan. But if they did exist, it was not millions and millions of years ago, but they died in the great flood, because the arc didnt have room for them.
