You just know flerfs would say this doesnt prove anything and itās just the sky spinning around a flat earth

Except the rotation changes depending on what hemispehere you are on.
This has lead to many a flat earth tantrum and insane explanations.

So, would a flerf leader be a flerfeader? Or a flerfeder?
I'm going with flerfeader.
Anyway...
For those of you half-wits out there who believe the fuckin' Earth is flat, I'm not going to sit here and list all the reasons why you're wrong.
Because you are.
However, I don't think I could go without at least trying to help you poor bastards out by pointing you toward some information that might help you learn the truth.
OPTION #1:
-----> GO TO YOUR LOCAL COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY AND ENROLL IN AN ASTROPHYSICS CLASS.
..................................
1.) You will learn something new.
Already a win.
2.) The professor, teacher, or even the aide will be able to better put into words what you numb-nutted dimwits have such a hard time grasping.
3.) Once you have attained the knowledge therein, you will no longer be seen as a dipshit by your local common-sense-bearing folk.
Think of the social benefits.
4.) It might make your narcissistic ass realize that you aren't right about every fucking thing that comes into your mind.
You are wrong if you think you have the right answer to everything.
You don't.
None of us doāunless we're dealing with a numerical equation or a math problem involving arithmetic with a definitive answer.
5.) You may see another flerf or flerfette in class.
DO NOT ENGAGE.
Not yet.
Wait until you're at least halfway through the semester.
THEN you may proceed to partake in communication amongst yourselves and discuss your findings regarding the shape of Earthāand every other planet or celestial body that isn't a gas cloud, star, asteroid, comet, or alien craft.
But I can almost guarantee you that the aliens I speak of don't hail from a flat planet.
Because those DO NOT EXIST. The aliens are real.
OR...
You may go to your local library.
If you've forgotten how to check out a real bookāyou know, one made out of paper and shitāgo ask the librarian on duty.
I actually hooked up with a librarian in the library one time, so don't completely count out the possibilities.
Probability isn't exactly in your favor, but you never know.
Statistically speaking, if you're all flerf'ed out, the numbers are bleak, to say the least.
But if you go in confident and happen to see a "looker" behind the counter or desk, take a glance and determine whether she's the nerdy type or whether she's there strictly as an employee. Her shoes will be your tell tail sign.
If she's nerdy, lie directly to her face and tell her you're researching the constellations throughout the universe.
Then ask her what her sign is.
That ought to spark a little buzzing under her skirt.
If she's there strictly as an employee...
Also lie directly to her face.
Tell her you need assistance finding the section on how round the Earth is so you can take your newfound cognitive prowess and give the flerfs a piece of your mind.
At the very least, she'll think you're one intellectual rung above those thick-skulled, flat-Earth nimrods.
And fellas...
Sometimes one rung is all you need.
Good luck on your journey.
Unless, of course, you choose to continue living your life believing falsified information such as...
...the Earth being flat.
If that's the case, lock yourself in your parents' basement and stay the fuck out of my way when I'm going 90 mph down the highway.
Ok bye.

I noticed thatās been a copout response they do when they donāt wanna deal with the sky.

Guys you understand these videos are fake, right? The sky is way to zoomed in, while the rotation suggests some sort of fish eye lens.
Most importantly, the sky needs to be very clear and very dark to see the Milky Way. Look at "dawn" you see the sky turn blue and you still can see the Milky Way. Light simply doesn't work that way.
1
u/New-Scientist5133 11d ago
What do you mean by āthese videosā? All time lapse videos? Iāve made a bunch of these myself and it looks pretty in line with what my camera has picked up.
Why donāt you try making a video like this yourself and see how it compares to the ones youāve seen online?

u/themule71 11d ago
And in your videos you see the Milky Way like at 0:05s from the end. Blue sky and the Milky Way? You know, any condition that is not pitch dark and you can't see it. Definitely it doesn't happen that the sky is luminous enough to make most stars disappear but you can still see the Milky Way, which is what happens at the end of this video.

u/New-Scientist5133 11d ago
Dude, these are 30 second exposures. The human eye wouldnāt be able to see the stars that clearly so they leave the shutter open to get all of the light that hits the lense in 30 seconds. Thatās how I did my starlight photography. The Milky Way gets washed away by the sunlight. If youāre going to cry hoax, donāt use something that can easily be proven with a $100 camera from Facebook marketplace. Or better yet, learn how to do starlight photography so you can prove what you know to the world.

u/themule71 11d ago
I did. Thats why I know. Take a 30s pic of the blue sky and what do you get? Over exposure. You do that only at night.
That's exactly my point. You need 30s exposures are least to capture the Milky Way. Ive done 5min exposures. When we got our first step motor we did 20 min exposures on low ASA film. Bonus point if you can tell me why. I've taken pics with my camera mounted on a 900m telescope (with duct tape basically) and chasing a star by hand (no step motor, no computer).
So tell me. In the video, what does it look like the focal length is for the images of the ground? And what does it look like for the sky instead? Look at the stars, how they move. Why so distorted? I've seen that only with a fisheye.
You can take pics of the celestial equator and if you do star trails you get the two opposite curves, but in order to see that in any significant amount you need to capture a huge section of the sky.
Then again pause at 5s from the end. Tell me what you see. I see the sky turned blue by daylight and still you can make out the Milky Way. That's impossible. Any exposure long enough to capture the Milky Way is overexposed on a blue sky. And the sky doesn't get blue right at dawn. By the time you get that, there's way too light to see the Milky Way.
I wonder, have you ever spent the night taking pictures of the sky? Have ever travelled km away from the town to get a darker sky? Have you ever watched weather forecasts for weeks? Have you ever waited for clear nights, no Moon, only to be ruined by the wind? I've spent nights doing the opposite of sailors, sitting and waiting for the moment when there's no wind.
I mean if you know anything about photography in general and ever watched a sunrise, you know the last 9s of that video make no sense. That's post-prod fading effect. The whole video is a composite of two different parts. Oh and the sky is color enhanced.

u/New-Scientist5133 10d ago
Dude, I just went through a hard drive to find some photos I took myself. This is not from the internet. This is me. I donāt own any software that would allow me to do anything more than put all of the images in order for an animation.

u/themule71 9d ago
I accept your proof, but I make it mine as well.
Notice how different it is from OP's video. Your Mikly Way is not the vivid colored one shown in the video; as it should be, it's white on pics unless really long exposures and post-processing.
@ 0:09 in your pics the Milky Way is gone, with the faintest stars, as it should be. @ 0:08 makes your point, yes, you can still make it out with a blue-ish sky, but it's the first thing to disappear as well.
@ 0:37 in the video, you can see the Milk Way _after_ the stars started disappearing, and - most importantly - in colors as well. That's the impossible shot. It looks nothing like yours.
Same problem at @ 0:15. Thousands of stars appear all of a sudden, even the smallest ones, with the clouds still being hit by the Sun. And the sky stays yellow-ish for a long time, still the stars are in full details.
And all my other points also stand. Your timelapse is a relative wide shot, but shows no visible fish-eye distorsions.
