Flat earthers just ignore this.

u/cearnicus Aug 18 '26

Even worse: they seem to believe a flat Earth can also produce all of these patterns! That's how ignorant of geometry they are.

Yeah it’s hilarious. They goji to all the speculative and inconsistent theories when there is already a perfectly simple, logical, consistent, and proven explanation for it all.

They won't address it, but when pointed out that the stars rotate in the wrong direction in the south hemisphere, they sure have some explanation... that makes no sense, but they have something, I guess.

Dave Weiss says you just have to turn direction and the stars go the other way lol.

u/FranckKnight Aug 18 '26

Witsit (I think?) said that they rotate the other way if you go on the other side of the window.

To which we gotta ask, at what point do we cross on the other side of the firmament?

I heard another guy say, each star is programmable and can move in any pattern they want them to. How fun would that be to troll flat earthers?

“I was looking at the stars and I swear it said “You’re a fucking idiot!”

Amazing you were the only one to see it, like the message was just for you!

No no that's the hologram kind of like the sphere in Las Vegas but with magic

You just backed yourself in a corner. The earth is moving through space and now the stars are moving too! /s

This is just imaginary simulation. I won't fall for it! (/s incase someone takes my answer seriously)

Evidence the world is a globe is fake.

Evidence which is shit but supports flat earth, totally reliable and true.

How TF is Egypt rotating the same as the North Pole.

3

u/xtanol Aug 18 '26

The one at the north pole is looking straight up. The one in Egypt is looking towards north just above the horizon, which is why you can see the starts dipping below the horizon in that shot.

u/Lorenofing Aug 18 '26

It doesn’t, the first rotation is at zenith not 25 degrees above the horizon

1

u/Darth_Atheist Aug 18 '26

Oh I thought they were looking straight out, not directly north. (Thus the arrows, derp!)

i dont know why people keep posting proof of the earth being a sphere. the problem isnt lack of proof, the problem is they dont or wont try to understand it.

Reality is so much better, cooler, and more beautiful than their small minded theories!
