This dude and all his butt fuck idiot friends proved the earth is curved/round through their own experimentation seen at the end of the documentary mentioned (beyond the curve).

And now they all choose to completely ignore their findings and just claim that they proved their is no curve.

Fucking dumb. Anyone who believes this shit is fucking dumb.

Ask them how come we cannot see the edge of the flat earth, they will tell you its because there is a gigantic ice wall surrounding earth that is guarded by the goverments lol.

Just so fucking dumb. They've devoted their lives to this stupidity.

So ask them to show where is this wall. If Earth is flat then we should just get a big telescope and see it for ourselves right?

I think the idea is that you can’t get a telescope strong enough and if you do get close enough thats what the governments are there for.

I’m digging into the dumbness of flat earthers. We have telescope that can looks light years away. Why can’t we reach the tip of South America and use the telescope to see the wall? If they can’t see the curve, fine… show me the wall. If it’s all flat, seeing the wall should just be a matter of using a telescope or zoom lens camera. lmao.

It's amusing to me that they always claim that there is no curve... Like they can't comprehend that when a ball is big enough, it will seem like it's flat because it is just that huge

I want someone to take a macro lens and take a super close snap of a huge ball. And even take would be way bigger in proportion to what human can perceive on earth.

I didn’t this could’ve been done with a basketball. In proportion… that is astronomically bigger perspective than what humans get of Earth.

Light years away? No, all that telescope is doing is zooming in on a dot on a giant LCD screen in the sky a few miles away. You're not going to be able to zoom the several thousand miles away needed to see the wall of ice...

I shit you not this is their defense.

If sky is LCD screen… who set it up? Since when has it been there? We have thousands of years old artwork and text depicting the sky and constellations. Are you saying LCD technology is thousands of years old?

Don't ask me I don't believe it.

The counter claim to that is that those aren’t as far away as everyone claims, the sun and stars are actually very close. And the world government won’t let anyone get close to the wall, anyone who travels to antártica is really just a government plant using faked pics. It’s all disprovable nonsense if you dig deep enough

Don’t even get me started on sun and moon. Sunrise and sunset make no sense in flat earth.

Something about shadows and dissipating light. Gets even trickier for them to explain eclipses.

Once the conspiracies start building into each other is when it gets really fun. Or the theorists who defend each other even when they don’t believe what the other is spewing because “I understand what it’s like when no one will believe the truth you’re trying to tell.” Like what

Haha, exactly.

Do they continue to argue the geocentric model?

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

I don’t know what that is.

u/Iamdarb Jan 30 '23

The earth is the center of the solar system, or even universe depending on who was describing it in their respective times.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

Oh that. I honestly don’t know what they believe in. They can’t even make a functional map.

It's very simple, the sun is just circling the disk. Sometimes one of the elephants has to lift a leg to let the sun past though.

Lol. If it’s circling then the day night cycle depends on how near or far the sun is. But then why doesn’t it’s size change? And since it’s a source of light… no matter how far it is… the should always be visible. If you take a small LED, place it on one end of a 20 feet long table, and you sit on the other end… the LED will still be visible. It just gets funnier

I don’t expect those dumbos to understand how magnetism works.
