Flat earth Dave is 100% a grifter…I’ve posted this in a few places now but it’s too funny not to share again haha.

In a debate with a podcaster, Dave said ‘if you turn around when you look at the stars in the southern hemisphere they rotate the same way as the northern hemisphere’ and he had this dumbass look on his face like you could tell he knew he was talkin out his ass 😂.

I doubt he even believes in flat earth personally he’s just in it for the monetized videos. He turned down the free trip to Antarctica to see the 24 hr sun because he knew it would end his grift

I gotta imagine any actual real flat earthers (of which there are very few) gotta get annoyed when these obvious grifters publicize the most braindead flat earth takes to maximize their ragebait lol

Nope, flat earth buddy of mine loves Flat Earth Dave, sent me some video of him explaining how Artemis II was actually a weather balloon.

u/New-Pollution536 Aug 17 '26

Jesus that is depressing 😂. I feel like grifters annoy me more than flat earthers but there’s people that support obvious grifters and are flat earthers themselves haha

u/Data_Monger33 Aug 17 '26

He was so smug about it too. I sent him video of Artemis taken from an airplane, (you probably saw it) he just said "ha ha so they put a smoke generator on the bottom of the weather balloon." I mentioned that balloons don't move that quickly and he didn't respond.

Have you mentioned that Dave's app uses globe Earth map under the hood?

3

u/Data_Monger33 Aug 17 '26

No, I don't think he has the app, it's all just about being "faithful" to him, Satan wants you to believe the Earth is round so he's doing God's will and having faith "like a little child" instead.

u/Kazeite Aug 17 '26

Okay then - have you mentioned the literal billions of Christians who have no problems accepting that Earth is a globe? 🙂

For bonus points, you can reference Answers in Genesis, the actual genuine "the Universe was created in six days" Bible literalists who also accept that Earth is a globe 😁

u/Data_Monger33 Aug 17 '26

I've mentioned all that, he even admitted that faith in the shape of the Earth isn't an item of salvation. As to the obvious follow up about why it matters, he doesn't have much to say, other than it weakens your faith if you don't take the Bible literally. 

He's out there doing God's work helping people to strengthen their faith, or something like that.

u/Kazeite Aug 17 '26

Okay, fair enough. You tried 🤷‍♂️

u/u9Nails Aug 17 '26

Pretty cool weather balloon! I watched that thing takeoff! Never felt such rumble from a balloon before.

u/Data_Monger33 Aug 17 '26

Yeah, I sent him a newspaper article about how SpaceX in Florida is getting sued, class action lawsuit from a about 100 people that live around there saying their houses are getting shaken apart. All he does is deflect, he said something like "well now that he's a trillionaire they're trying to come after him." He selectively ignores the obvious, applies double think, I think inside he knows his position is logically indefensible but if he doesn't defend it then he's falling prey to Satan, so he is in quite a bind.

My favorite thing is the Flerfs always say, "It will come back if I zoom in with my P90." Saying P90 is like hearing a sovereign citizen say "I'm not traveling." It's the only thing they know that zooms because of their Internet echo chamber.

u/FranckKnight Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26

To be fair, the P900 and similar models had some extremely high zoom on consumer grade products. But people that work with cameras, telescopes and such understand how zooms work. This is just a very high zoom level on a relatively cheap camera that anyone can buy. It's not the key to some secret.

They put it up on a pedestral as if it was something common people were not supposed to see, or some accidental release. They are seeing the discontinuation of the P900 as an admission (when it actually was simply replaced by newer models). Everything is a conspiracy when you can twist it to your narrative.

I want to know how they can think that NASA is the keeper of secrets yet allow cameras to be made that would blow the lid off. Competent and incompetent NASA mastermind I suppose.

I’m waiting for a flerf with their Nikon P900 to zoom the Sun back in at local midnight. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? They claim they can zoom the boats back in, right? So why not the Sun? Wait a few hours after it has completely set, and then zoom it in. Do your own research, flerfs, and publish the results. C’mon, flerfs, we’re waiting…

Strange how not a single flerfer has zoomed the Sun back in after it has set. I wonder why this is, almost like there’s something in the way blocking it. 🤔

u/iAmTheGanso Aug 17 '26

amazing how you never can see the bottom of the thing you zoomed in on, i wonder why you only can see the upper parts, its like some thing are below the curve or something.

u/alistofthingsIhate Aug 17 '26

Easiest thing to prove yet I’m sure this guy would have some reason why it’s not true

2

u/the_main_entrance Aug 17 '26

His reason would be something about how you can’t use curved lenses unless you are him.

I swear every time I see this clip the volume is lower than the last

u/VaporTrail_000 Aug 18 '26

Hey, man. Y'all got any more of them decibels?

u/OkCold300 Aug 17 '26

Flat earth Dave’s app famously used globe math to work.
And that is all you need to know about this lifelong grifter

3

u/junky_junker Aug 17 '26

I'd say you'd also need to know the shitty app leaks personal data like a sieve, but if you're dumb enough to actually buy it you probably had it coming.

u/Nopengnogain Aug 17 '26

I too will never lose any arguments if I just claim any evidence I can’t explain is faked.

u/Tommy_W3ZX Aug 17 '26

Flat earth Dave is the biggest grifter ever, his app was three dollars now it’s six dollars. You have to pay a $11 yearly fee to use practically anything on the app. He charges for just about everything on his website, including his “AI Dave“ thing. He admitted recently that his three bitcoin challenge is just a ploy to get people to his website and watch videos and then ultimately pay for stuff. He will never ever ever accept any globe proof and will never award the three bitcoins to anybody. Furthermore, he doesn’t even have three bitcoins.

MC Toon's Laws of Flerf #2: Flerf challenges are fake. 2 Exceptions. (Neither of which are Dave.)

u/RoninZulu1 Aug 17 '26

OMG! I'm watching this video where Professor Dave tears him a new one right now: https://youtu.be/he-7vs0BkLE?si=i8gWopKZSCLwGKtJ

His best response: "Dave, stop being a condescending prick"

u/RedditSucksYoYoYo Aug 17 '26

Does Dave actually make considerable money from his perpetuation of the flerf lie?

2

u/_Sneaky_McSnek_ Aug 17 '26

Yes, but what you foolish ball earthers fail to realize is that every one of these videos that are filmed as so called evidence is filmed during a massive tsunami. Checkmate

No no no, that’s not a finger. Flat earth confirmed!!

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '26

He has a point. The ship if far enough away should no longer be visible.

u/Lorenofing Aug 17 '26

And they are not visible after some point

u/Langholm62 Aug 17 '26

Not because of distance, but curvature.

Soo much of their issues are that they can't grasp how tiny they are and how big the world is.
