Sheeple think either the Earth is a geode or it's flat, but I'm truly woke and know for a fact the Earth is a donut.

If you are persistent and annoying enough, maybe they will invite you for one of those parable flights, so why not. I don't even know how many flat earthlers are just trolls.

Flat Earthers should learn more about the science that demonstrates the Earth is an oblate spheroid.

I've watched many hours of flat Earth videos, primarily for entertainment purposes. I think the reason they're so compelling for some people is that they focus on details that, on their own, seem to suggest the Earth is flat. They're taken out of context, of course, while ignoring all the stuff that shows it's not flat.

Obligatory meme:

I think it's hilarious tbh, but at the same time kinda depressing. Cause like, at the core of the whole movement (as with a lot of fringe movements like it) is at least a sliver of systemic critique, but it's projected outwards in completely the wrong direction, into the realm of literal conspiracy theory.

conspiracy theories like this have some seemingly advance science on them too in the eyes of layman like me but to experts in the field im sure those are pseudoscience to them

they should follow Elon Musk project called Starlink that will send 12000 satellites (for worldwide cheap internet purpose) around Earth and to figure out if its really Flat or not lol

I suppose everyone needs to beleive in one conspiracy at least though flat earthers should pick one that is a bit more likely. Like aliens or lizard people controlling the government. Thinking "They Live" is a documentary is much more entertaining.

Here's video footage of a flat Earth convention.



And here's one of the "better" long flat Earth documentaries, if you want to familiarize yourself with the type of reasoning the flat Earth cult tends to use.

I think the same of them as I think of the man who believes in Abrahamic deities, as I think of the man who believes in horoscopes, as I think of the man who believes that leaving fans on at night can kill a him, as I think of the man that believes that Iraq had w.m.d.'s.

Men that believe not in obvious falsehoods with a degree of conviction are a rarity indeed, and consequently my opinion of most men men is not very high.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

I still don't know how and why the believe it tho. its common sense to know that the earth is a sphere like shape which is rotated at an angle of 23.5 degrees. it's because of this we have seasons and time zones. If the earth was really flat, then how would we have all of this?

Yes, there are probably hundreds of things that demonstrate the Earth is an oblate spheroid. As I mentioned in a prior post, they believe the Earth is flat due to focusing on isolated phenomena taken out of context while ignoring the rest. There's some interesting stuff in flat Earth documentaries. (Like the one I linked above.) In the past, I watched them because they were a good place to learn about freaky things in nature.

There is absolutely no political reason or scientific reason for people to lie about the shape of the Earth. The only people that think it are flat do so because of religious reasons it seems. They are terrified of being wrong.

@QPR
That's easy to answer. It will be clear to you if you only do your own research.

Flight database map of airplane travel path
UK to Washington flight path



I won't force anyone here to believe me, as no one forced me to believe them. If you want the truth, you'll seek the truth.
So all I can say is, do your own research, don't believe what any textbooks tell you until proven otherwise.

I suspect Flat Earth and Young Creationism are trolling psyops to make fun of the whole Rights given by God thing and how giving common people power is a dangerous thing similar to how Jim Jones wanted to get rid of Christianity's hold on people. Fred Phelps was a Civil Rights lawyer who worked his arse off for the civil rights movement back in the 50s and 60s back when people were getting lynched. You laughed at Jack Chick but Steve Bannon spoke at the Vatican.
