dont proofs have to be true and logical?

[Bloody Mary]

200 proofs? If any were correct, one would have sufficed.

I love flat-earthers because I feel like their bullstuff works well as an exercise in using rational thought to debunk nonsense.

1. Horizon always looks flat

Plus, there is high-altitude footage of the Earth's curvature, but they obviously deny its legitimacy since it undermines their beliefs. Not just from NASA either.

2. Don't have to tilt your head down to see the horizon

This is basically just linear perspective. The distance your head has to point down is a triangle subtended over a ridiculously long distance. You do have to tilt your head down, but only by a marginally small degree.

3. Natural physics of water says water should just be flat, not curved

Only in a system where gravity points down at every point. If you take a magnet and stick ferrofluid on it in zero-G, it forms what's more-or-less a sphere.

Etc etc and-so-on x197 times.

Why is this a thing anymore?

[Kringleberg]

flat earthers are idiots and its a waste of time trying to argue with them

[Nix the Glaceon]

"proofs"

[Filipe]

What's with these people bringing back things that are already proven wrong, like this and communism.

[bestguy22]

what are their answers to 'Do we just fall off of the earth, then?' questions?? i've literally never seen any of the flat earthers attempt to answer that

They invest a lot of points on that evasion skill.

jaq jacq is completely insane






it continues for a few hundred more comments

i think the greatest hit is "gravity does not exist"

[ultimamax]

Do flat earthers not believe in force? How do they explain magnets? And how have these secrets of science been kept under wraps for hundreds of years?

[Frequency]

i think the greatest hit is "gravity does not exist"

only in the sense that it's the result of spacetime being warped by the mass of objects

i also think it's hilarious because everyone who claims the earth isn't round relies on the ORBITAL satellites we use to communicate daily lmao

[Gytyyhgfffff]

jac jacq is a good man
