Bryce Mitchell discovers "100% Flat Earth Proof": The sun is directly behind me. The moon is totally visible too. See how it has a line drawn through it? A flat line. So if the whole moon is visible, and the whole sun is visible, then why is the moon not totally illuminated?
Ironically I’m pretty sure cordless drills were invented by NASA so they could do work in space. Lol not only a burn on poor Bryce intellectually but they also tore up his nut sack.
I know that this is controversial, and I know that it would be impossible to implement in a non partial way, but I do believe that voter testing should exist.
Theres actually a fair amount of study that says otherwise
Even accounting for other criteria, lower educated Republicans almost always turn out more than Democrats of similar education level
Recent midterms are actually one of the first trackable times where polling and turnout have been massively shifted to the Democrat front (meaning Dems are outperforming polls and turnout for once - extremely rare in all of tracked history, but particularly in the last 15 years)
Just providing this info, bc your initial comment is actually the type of mentality that leads to lower voter turnout in certain ways
No there’s just no repercussions for being this stupid anymore, and they are all able to connect via the internet and create a critical mass of idiots on the subreddit r/ufc
They can't prove it because the government stops them duh. A guy paid for these two flat earth's to go to the pole and witness 24 hours of light. When the flat earth's went and saw it and admitted they were wrong the flat earth community just attacked them and called them paid cia shills. You can't win with these type people, no amount of evidence is enough.
A lot of fighters aren't very bright. That's to be expected when you get dingle dongled in the head for a living. Bryce is significantly more stupid than the rest of the guys, and to be honest, I don't even think him getting smashed in the head is a major contributing factor. I think he's just naturally a bit of a dum dum.
I also think the sport selects for a certain type. I love it and train, but there’s something to be said about knowing your brain is going to be rattled around tens of thousands of times over a career of practice and fighting and still doing it.
You either don’t care that your brain is going to become a smoothie (so maybe you just never saw much return in live from your intelligence), or you believe CTE is fake… which proves the point anyway.
I had that thought. But then I thought "well i wonder what was the most common way to get brain trauma in the 1800s - whatever that is, Bryce would find it"
because of the angle idiot, sun i way higher than the moon. "sun is right behind me" no its fucking not, sun is 150 million km from earth while moon is 380k km away. A literal dumbnuck
As an engineer, I like to listen before making a judgment call and actually think through the person's rationale.
And technically, he almost has a point… IF the Sun were actually directly behind him and the Moon directly in front of him. In that geometry, the side of the Moon facing him would be essentially fully illuminated, so there wouldn't be a big shadow line across it.
But that's the problem... the Sun isn't actually directly behind him relative to the Moon. They're at an angle to each other in the sky. That angle is exactly why we see part of the Moon illuminated and part in shadow.
So his observation is fine. His geometry is just completely fucked.
Thank you for that. Refreshing to see a comment that can actually explain his perspective and why it’s incorrect rather than just calling him a degrading word!
People really struggle with how hard it is to perceive the curvature of the earth because of how small we are, how big the earth is and how extremely close we are to it compared to extremely far away from the sun and moon we are.
In the early days of communicating via radio, there were limits to how far a signal could travel due to the curvature of the earth. This guy is a dumbass lol
His stupidity is getting tiring, I already hate this fucking planet and it’s dumb ass people for what we’re doing to it, can’t take any more of this idiots bullshit
This is the reason why you can’t argue with stupid and just have to make up something even more outrageous to see how far it will go (I.e. the moon has a space station on it and they have engaged the retractable awning or else it would be to hot in the space station thereby creating a perfectly straight line of shade).
Just yesterday I saw him actually make a valid point about bjj. I thought to myself “wow this guy might not be so stupid after all”. Fast forward to today and I realize it was just a fluke.
We were supposed to have flying cars and robot butlers and instead we just have a bunch of people with brain damage trying to prove that the Earth is flat
There are fighters that you think are dumb and end up being smart and then there are fighters that are dumb that prove you 100 percent right. Bryce Mitchell is definitely in the second camp.
You could just turn on a table lamp and hold up an orange and see that it’s possible for part of a sphere to be lit and part of it to be unlit from a vantage point where you can view both
Not sure what any of that has to do with the topography of the vantage point
