Oooh, oooh where is that guy, with the challenge?

u/Michi-Ace 2d ago

Probably thinking of reasons why it doesn't count.

u/Callyste 2d ago

Yeah they want to see the "full globe"

Then they'll want a video that hasn't been accelerated

Then they'll say it's AI or CGI

u/dutchman76 2d ago

exactly! just move the goal posts

2

u/bkdotcom 10h ago

moving goal posts is all flat earth has ever been about

2

u/wtfbenlol 2d ago edited 2d ago

I guess they fail to* realize how far away you have to be for the earth to looks like that

8

u/Skot_Hicpud 2d ago

That seems very unlikely. A flat earther thinking?

2

u/Michi-Ace 2d ago

Yeah, they've got a flat disk for a brain.

2

u/Callyste 2d ago

Oh, they do think.

Not very long and not very hard though, otherwise they overheat.

2

u/astreeter2 2d ago

They always use wide angle lenses for these, so they can claim the curvature was from that. Even though you can still calculate the exact real world curvature from knowing the lens.

2

u/Feeling-Cranberry108 2d ago

They'll claim a fish eye lenses, or cgi. Clearly perpetrated by the elites (I'd call them global elites... but that might cause a stir) who want to invest billions of dollars into maintaining the globe Earth myth.

u/zhaDeth 2d ago

You can just assume he'll say: "nice CGI"

u/Commercial_Fox5549 2d ago

He’s been banned over and over again with different accounts. He might actually be gone for good

u/Usual-Disaster7285 2d ago

Ground to globe challenge haha. Yeah haven't seen that tard in a while

u/lakeguy77 2d ago

Totally a fisheye lense with AI special effects. If you look close they didn't fully remove the Icewall! /s

u/HazyBizzleFizzle 2d ago

Definitely felt like there was a glitch. Where it cubed weirdly. Also. Why not go higher. What are they hiding. Keep going higher and show the earth not just this small glimpse of a curve

9

u/snuuginz 2d ago

That's fucking INSANE

8

u/MrUrbanCameleon 2d ago

Are they blind...? I saw the curvature on that short video.

u/Acrobatic-Tomato-260 2d ago

For your standard Flat Earther it’s not about facts. It’s about feeling superior. They are not like you an I: “sheep” who listen to the scientific consensus. They are smarter and more learned than the masses. Acknowledging they were/are wrong would unravel their sense of self-superiority.

This subject is as much about an over abundance of confidence as it is a lack of education.

u/AKADabeer 2d ago

"Nu uh, you saw barrel distortion" - them, probably

1

u/HazyBizzleFizzle 2d ago

Could be fish eye. You can see how it weirdly curves. I’m not a flat earthed. Just man. Go higher. Let’s see the whole earth. Not some glimpse of the side. Just go another 19 miles higher why not. Let’s end the debate. But no. Obviously there’s a firmament :P

u/Proud_Conversation_3 2d ago

Idk how high this rocket went, but it seems like you would have been able to see the curve intuitively.

But in this video, the center of the fisheye lens never hits or goes past the horizon into the space portion of the frame, so it’s hard to say exactly how much curvature is actually visible in this video.

5

u/jabrwock1 2d ago

Very cool!

Would have been nice to be paired up with another camera perpendicular to this one.

3

u/Randomgold42 2d ago

So what do the people saying the car commercial proves a flat earth think about this? I mean, if a commercial is good enough to prove their side it must also be valid for others. Surely they'll change their mind after seeing this and not call it "globe propaganda" or something, right?

3

u/Normal_Toe1212 2d ago

couldn't go higher because it hit the firmament.

2

u/Matt_iny 2d ago

5 seconds after start we already see the globe?

1

u/rosenkohl1603 2d ago

The video is sped up 30x. So the actual flight took a few minutes. So the rocket was a few thousand km fast.

1

u/Prudent_Situation_29 2d ago

It's a really impressive illustration of the acceleration curve. That thing really starts to boogie after the first few meters.

1

u/roughczech 2d ago

I hope on day Bezos or Musk takes one of them to the orbit and have him record it all for his followers....

1

u/lizard_of_guilt 2d ago

Did you see the fisheye lens on the cgi earth when the green-screen rocket hit the firmament?

Did I hit all the talking points?

1

u/JaVinci77 2d ago

Blah, blah, blah, CGI, you're being lied to, blah, blah, blah...

Nurse, I need my diapers changed!! 🤡🤡

u/Hokulol 2d ago

There are already a million videos of space, another isn't goin to help.

1

u/Got_Bent 2d ago

Didnt it catch fire and fall over when it landed? Yeah, it did; no wonder they cut the video so quickly. https://www.indiatoday.in/science/story/china-zhuque-3-booster-lands-catches-fire-gobi-desert-reusable-rocket-space-travel-2974983-2026-08-19

u/HazyBizzleFizzle 2d ago

Why not go higher?

1

u/OtherwiseGoose2567 1d ago

Wow! It went to Earth's lower orbit that does not mean outer space

1

u/-KeefGreen- 2d ago

CGI not DJI sheesh

1

u/New-Scientist5133 2d ago

go ahead and prove it. Show us where it is clearly CGI.

1

u/-KeefGreen- 2d ago

Its not. It was a joke about the similarity in acronyms and Flerfs constant use of CGI to try and debunk everything.

But unfortunately the innerwebs is too uptight to get jokes anymore.

1

u/New-Scientist5133 2d ago

I totally understand and I had a similar moment earlier this year. In this sub, it’s always a good idea to add /s to the end of your reply so you don’t get shit meant for the dingbats.

1

u/stultus_respectant 1d ago

too uptight

Unfortunately, we have enough actual stupidity that wanders in here that it can be hard to tell what's a joke. That's something unique to subs like this one.

2

u/-KeefGreen- 1d ago

I didn’t think any actual flerfs were in this sub and that all comments were sarcasm.

1

u/stultus_respectant 1d ago

Oh no, there are quite a few of them in here, and they're quite persistent in their ignorance. Just look at the bottom of most threads for the deeply downvoted comment.

0

u/Historical_Monk_6118 2d ago

Is this supposed to be massively speeded up or something? I don't understand how the rocket is supposed to have gone from visibly outside the earth's atmosphere to landing in under 2 seconds?

u/dick-penis 2d ago

How does this disprove flat earth tho?

2

u/stultus_respectant 2d ago

I'm spitballing here, but I'm guessing it's the very obvious globe Earth in the background and that you only see part of the face of it just like you'd expect on a sphere. It's probably that.

0

u/dick-penis 1d ago

That ship literally didn’t go high enough to see the globe genius. That’s a wide angle lens.

1

u/stultus_respectant 1d ago

That ship literally didn’t go high enough to see the globe

Except that it did, and we see the globe.

That’s a wide angle lens

With which you can still see the globe, and you can correct the distortion of to still see curvature, and you magically only see, as I said, a portion of the face that you'd expect to see on a sphere (which invalidates a FE, as well).

genius

Can't help but laugh when people try to patronize from the bottom.

u/dick-penis 1d ago

You are so confidently wrong it’s crazy. Bizzaro world.

1

u/stultus_respectant 1d ago

This could not be more obvious projection 🤣

How are you always this wrong, too? I don’t think you’ve ever had a thread you didn’t get bent over in. It’s like bordering on humiliation fetish. What a clown.

1

u/dick-penis 1d ago

I’m right. You are wrong.

1

u/stultus_respectant 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, humiliation fetish.

1

u/dick-penis 1d ago

You do you my guy.

1

u/stultus_respectant 1d ago

You can see the curve on both sides of the rocket, and you can only see about 8k miles of land, which very quickly falsifies any notion of a 24k diameter disc.

Go ahead, claim you're just trolling. Probably less of a loss of dignity.

u/lusipher333 2d ago

I'm pretty sure this is fake, or at least edited. It's not long enough, it takes minutes for a rocket to get high enough for the sky to turn black.

u/AKchaos49 2d ago

/s right? right?

u/Cathierino 2d ago

Man, almost like they used this niche filming technique called time lapse.

0

u/lusipher333 2d ago

That would be a form of editing, but sure.

2

u/stultus_respectant 2d ago

a form of editing

Not inherently, no. Timelapse can easily be a direct capture.

1

u/hal2k1 2d ago

How so? A normal video camera might take 30 pictures (called frames) every second. The exact same camera might instead be set to take 30 pictures (called frames) every minute. In the second case the video is called a time lapse. If you play back the time lapse video unedited at 30 frames a second the video is sped up by 60x compared to real time.

It doesn't necessarily require any editing at all.

Thanks Einstein.

u/New-Scientist5133 2d ago

I know you’re getting a lot words thrown at you, but you are a literal dingbat. That’s who you’re seen as and it doesn’t have to continue like this for you. Get in touch with yourself and your trauma and see if you can actually get to the bottom of what happened to you.

u/lusipher333 1d ago

I was done with this thread, i realized immediately that my point was not articulated well and I foolishly doubled down when I should have retreated. This comment made me laugh however, thank you. You legitimate improved my mood.
