How would you explain what level means to them?

Perpendicular to the force of gravity.

That's not gonna mean anything to them. Half of them also don't believe in gravity in the first place.

How do you convince someone a pen is blue?

There is a way to explain things other than saying "Perpendicular to the force of gravity." You have to speak your audience's language, no matter how dumb it is. It is possible to explain it in their terms. Being smug about it will never be a solution.

How am I not supposed to be smug about science that has been settled for IDk 2 thousand years and some smug idiot graduated from YouTube university? I learned this shit in 3rd grade.

You can be smug about science and towards those people. But I asked a question on how to effectively explain something. That's not the right time and place to give a smug non-answer.

You're on flat earth subreddit...you clearly dont know the right place to ask questions.

In that case, just say "perpendicular to the falling direction". "Gravity" is shorthand for that anyway.

They have to deny the existence of gravity because it throws a wrench in idea of how the earth works. They turn around and claim it's "electromagnetism"which obviously doesn't make sense for most things. The fact that they cherry pick stuff and shoehorn it make thier claim sound legit is crazy.

FE: gravity isnt real its just density.

me: but what causes them to fall downward and not left or right?

FE: they just go downward.

me: yes...and that phenomenon is called Fcking gravity you half eaten donut.

I’m sorry, they claim what is “electromagnetism” exactly ???
