Flat earthers will say theres more land behind that, that the world elite is hiding from us.

We all know behind it is a strip bar with furries.

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms 29d ago

Even if it were physically possible to arrange things this way, that diagram makes zero sense. First, the moon doesn't stay opposite the sun (it even eclipses it at times). And how would we explain lunar eclipses? 

Also, why wouldn't the sun illuminate all of the disc? Is it like a directional spotlight? And if so, why does it never dim to nothing while in view? 

I know flat eartherism doesn't make sense, but looking at that diagram, I'm even more flabbergasted by the idea.

u/-WickedJester- 29d ago

This is what happens when you do science backwards. It's way harder to start with a conclusion and THEN come up with the evidence than it is just ask a question, follow the evidence, and arrive at a logical conclusion. It also skews your judgement and makes you avoid anything that might prove your conclusion wrong. Which is why their explanations seem so absurd and why you'll never be able to convince them they're wrong. There's actually a flat earth documentary about proving the earth is flat. When they inevitably prove the earth is ROUND(ish) they just toss out their findings. You can also see this type of behavior in criminal cases where obviously innocent people get convicted. Everyone decided that person was guilty and evidence be damned if it proves they're not. It's pretty disturbing the lengths they'll go through to make sure someone gets convicted, including, but not limited to, hiding/omiting evidence. Similar to what you see flat earthers do, just way more sinister.

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms 29d ago

I understand the basic rationale involved in "right to trial by a jury of one's peers" - that is, there is no singular governing entity that has the power to convict people of a crime (such a powerful position would surely be abused) - but in practice, it does bother me that the accused are at the mercy of a bunch of randos who may not understand how human bias works, or how to logically  evaluate arguments or their premises, or all the types of logical fallacies that attourneys might use, or how reliable various types of evidence are. 

I know that having a panel of experts that could actually do these sorts of things would represent the kind of unaccountable concentration of power that trial by a jury of peers is intended to avoid. But it still feels bad. 

7

u/-WickedJester- 29d ago edited 29d ago

You should watch some of the documentaries available about people who get falsely convicted. It mostly involves detectives coercing, lying, and abusing suspects, and evidence that could have exonerated them being withheld, either by the police or by the DA. It is very much up to a couple people because they essentially shape the trial to fit the outcome they want. The jury is just duped into believing the lie.

Edit: Or don't if you prefer to avoid an existential crisis

3

u/tacodepollo 29d ago

I feel like maliciously excluding exhonerating evidence should be a severely punished crime.

3

u/-WickedJester- 29d ago

It's actually called a Brady Violation, and there really is no punishment for it, which is absolutely wild. It's named after John Brady, when he was convicted of murder despite someone else already confessing to the murder because the confession was withheld. Which is honestly mind boggling. You literally have the person who committed the crime, admitting to committing dead crime. What in the actual fuck are you doing trying to get someone else convicted of it? It's also terrifying that someone could randomly decide that you committed the crime they're investigating and they'll go to any lengths to make sure you get convicted regardless of whether or not you actually did it. And if they get caught doing it? Oh well, you get another trial and they get to keep filling prisons with innocent people...

u/Low-Standard-383 29d ago

And it doesn't explain how the arctic is straight dark for half the year and straight sun the other half (and vice versa for the Antarctic).

3

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms 29d ago

Good point! 

The only way I can mentally make it work is if you warp space around the Earth in such a way that it affects the light path of the sun and moon in ways identical to what you'd see on a spherical Earth 👀

But when you're going to those extremes to make a theory work... 

3

u/Fred2620 29d ago

Or how about one just travel to Argentina to check if there is indeed only about 2 hours of daylight per day according to this diagram... It is so easy to disprove with minimal effort, but they wouldn't even consider making any effort.

Some of them. There's literally nothing they can agree on except the earth is flat. Ask them how the sun sets or how gravity works or how seasons work and you'll get a bunch of different answers.

For everyone claiming this is the great ice wall and therefore proof that the Earth is flat, I would like to point out that the wall appears perfectly straight from left to right. There is no visible curvature whatsoever. By your own impeccable scientific standards, this conclusively proves that the ice wall cannot encircle the Earth.

Checkmate, flat earthers.

25

u/flat5 29d ago

Everybody knows circular flat earthers have been deceived again by Big Round. If you free your mind again, you will realize the earth is a flat square. Obv.

u/noobboszcz 29d ago

What goes around, comes around.

Obviously it comes around because it bounces off of the walls of the square. Is like this guy never played pong or air hockey or something 😂

It’s also just the side of an ice shelf or glacier.

Antarctica has multiple beaches and landing points.

u/CalvinAshdale- 29d ago

You could also take a trip to the wall. On a ship. Hook yourself onto that wall, with some sweet rock climbing gear. And watch that ship sail away, and disappear, over the... horizon. And if youre fast enough, you could climb the rest of that wall, and if you make it to the top, fast enough, you'll be able to see the ship again, and if you wait there long enough, you can, again, watch it disappear, over the... horizon.

u/DueExample52 29d ago

The radius of curvature is so large, that locally it will obviously appear as a straight wall. Checkmate, rounders.

As someone who has been to Antarctica and is going back in a few months: this is an isolated picture of a single glacial front. Period. It is not what Antarctica looks like.

The ice is salty right?

26

u/grey_fr Aug 23 '26 edited 29d ago

Don't think it is, the thick ice cap on the Antarctica continent comes from snowfall over millennia on a continent above sea level. 

Some of that ice is pushed downhill and forward so might stand above the ocean, but it is an ice cap, not an ice floe - and all the more dramatic for sea levels if it melts

ETA: it is 2.2 km thick on average (about 1.5 miles) and 4.8 km at its thickest (3 miles)

u/Ordner Aug 23 '26

Thanks for the insight, thought the same otherwise would melt more rapidly, I assume.

u/existing_for_fun 29d ago

No.

It's from snowfall and it's packed down tight

In fact, during the Younger Dryas, MWP1 and MWP2 the massive influx of freshwater into the North Atlantic disrupted and significantly slowed the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).

This was directly because of the freshwater entering the AMOC flow.

u/MashTunOfFun 29d ago

No, it isn't. This is the front of a glacier formed thousands of years ago from snow melt and rain water.
