What the hell is wrong with them? Is this a satire subreddit?

So he's not renouncing Flat Earth but he says he has left "the arena" of debating with globers.

He offers a semi-ok apology to Lisbeth but sandwiches it in the middle of a blame-engine-else sandwich. What a fucking dirtbag.

Well one more down. We're winning boys. Flat Earth is on life support. Pretty much just leaves Nathan Thompson standing around as the only flerf willing to engage in debate and even he bailed on his last opportunity.

Huzzah!

We, well most of us, are aware that the rate of rotation Foucault’s Pendulum is proportional to the sine of the latitude (L), so the daily rate is 360° multiplied by Sin L, hence zero at the equator, 360° at the poles.

Imagine (it hurts, but try) that the earth is actually flat and rotating. Would a pendulum rotate at all, would the rate vary depending on its position on the disk?

I'm pretty sure the answers are both NO, but I'd like someone cleverer than me to confirm it.

Thank you.

Before I discovered flat earth I was a fairly normal person. I watched the average YouTube video, cats, dogs, cooking, gaming, music, etc,. I was able to spend my time being happy just knowing what I knew.

Now. Oh boy...now. I am watching flat earth content. I enjoy listening to their arguments and thinking on them and analyzing them.

They are all ridiculous. It started with Craig and FTFE. Then it was PlanarWalk, Creaky Blinder, Dave McKeegan, other debunkers caught my eye.

Now my minor guilty pleasure has turned into me watching Planet Peterson and Professor Dave. They lured my interest into the theist discussions.

Now it is 1 am and I am watching my 4th atheist podcast/talk show laughing at the callers and their arguments and I fear I am trapped in this life.

On the bright side I am learning things.

I thought it was lens flare but then I saw its from a video, so the incident must've been reported before the camera came into the picture.

Am I missing smth or what 💀

I mean, I guess it's weird the dolls aren't moving super fast?

This also just looks like how we are when we drive a car, maybe flerfs don't know how drive though.

Nothing in the world could have ever make me believe anything about flat Earth until recently. I don't really know when or how I started going down these rabbit holes but boy am I in deep.

My first issue started when people said that we had never gone to space or never made it to the moon. I was slowly convinced about never having gone to the moon because of different things that I read and people explaining their theories and so on. Then recently seeing Neil Armstrong having interviews and responding to kids questions in a video saying that he never went or that it didn't happen left me perplexed.

So either he lived his entire life never having gone to the moon and just now decided to start telling the truth, or he lived his entire life actually having gone to the Moon and just decided to start lying?

Then when I see all the videos about the rockets hitting the firmament and things like that it just kind of left me in the space to believe that we really weren't going to the moon.

When I think about the amount of documented space debris and items things that have actually landed on Earth, it takes away my disbelief in the fact that we've possibly actually been to space, but I'm no longer convinced about ever being to any planets.

Now I'm really looking into this firmament thing. As a biblical believer I've always thought the earth was round even when I read scripture, nothing ever stuck out to me to question anything. But lately I've been going back to read it with deeper contexts and with Hebrew translations. I don't see a single thing that would lead me to believe that it's round. It literally just says dome anywhere it talks about the Earth and we all know what a dome is. It's a half shell.

So now I'm just left with a lot of questions that keep getting answered with theories and concepts that are valid to make points for both flat earthers and globalists at times. And while it doesn't really change my belief in scripture or in a sense how I need to move in life on this earth, the deeper concern is if Earth really is flat why would they be hiding that? Those are the kind of questions that I have.

I don't want to make this longer than it is and it's really more of a rant but I just have a lot of thoughts that won't leave me

EDIT: my apologies, I've been notified that I was watching Buzz Aldrin

Have someone who is obviously a noob that thinks this is proof of flat earth.

1. Atmospheric Scattering and the Dome:
   The way sunlight scatters through Earth’s atmosphere creates the illusion of a dome over the sky. This only happens because the atmosphere wraps around a curved Earth. A flat Earth wouldn’t produce this effect.

2. Disappearing Horizons:
   Ships and other objects vanish hull-first as they cross the horizon. This happens because of Earth’s curvature. On a flat Earth, the entire ship would just get smaller while staying fully visible.

3. Airplane Flight Paths:
   Planes take curved routes (geodesics) to shorten travel distances. These flight patterns only make sense on a globe—on a flat Earth, they’d look inefficient or bizarre.

4. Lunar Eclipses:
   Earth’s shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is always round, no matter the angle. Only a sphere casts a perfectly round shadow.

5. Biblical Accounts:
   Ancient texts like Isaiah 40:22 refer to “the circle of the Earth,” indicating a recognition of Earth’s roundness long before modern science.

6. Eratosthenes’ Experiment:
   Over 2,000 years ago, Eratosthenes measured the angle of sunlight at two locations and used geometry to calculate Earth’s circumference. He proved it’s a sphere with remarkable accuracy.

7. High-Altitude Perspective:
   From the cockpit of an airplane or a high vantage point, the curvature of the Earth becomes visible. You’ll never see a flat horizon from up there.

8. Landmarks Disappearing with Distance:
   The lower portions of tall objects vanish as you move farther away. This is because Earth’s surface curves downward—on a flat Earth, the entire landmark would stay in view.

9. Time Zones:
   The concept of time zones exists because Earth rotates on its axis, exposing different parts of the globe to sunlight at different times. A flat Earth couldn’t explain this.

10. Images from Space:
    Photos and videos taken from satellites and astronauts in orbit clearly show Earth’s curvature. The evidence is visual and undeniable.

11. Gravity:
    Gravity pulls toward the center of a sphere, which explains why objects around the world fall "down." On a flat Earth, gravity would behave inconsistently.

12. The Changing Night Sky:
    As you travel north or south, the stars you see in the night sky change. This only happens because you’re moving across a curved surface.

13. Circumnavigation:
    Ships and planes can travel around the Earth, returning to their starting point without hitting an “edge.” That’s only possible with a spherical planet.

14. The Coriolis Effect:
    Weather systems and ocean currents curve because of Earth’s rotation. This effect wouldn’t exist on a stationary, flat surface.

15. Distant Mountain Peaks:
    When looking at mountains from far away, only their peaks are visible at first. Earth’s curvature hides the lower sections until you get closer.

16. Satellites and Orbits:
    Satellites orbit the Earth because of its spherical shape and gravity. A flat Earth would make stable orbits impossible.

17. Astronauts’ Observations:
    Astronauts aboard the International Space Station see Earth’s curvature every day. They’ve even taken pictures—case closed.

18. Sunrise and Sunset:
    The Sun rises and sets at different times across the world because of Earth’s rotation. This wouldn’t line up on a flat Earth.

19. Polar Daylight Cycles:
    Antarctica experiences months of continuous daylight or darkness depending on the season. This happens because of Earth’s axial tilt and spherical shape.

20. Shadow Experiments:
    Shadows cast at the same time of day differ in length depending on where you are on Earth. This is because of the curvature of the planet.

This undeniable list lays it out in plain terms: observations, science, and historical knowledge all confirm one thing: Earth is a sphere.

Okay ik this is a joke but can someone explain why it appears to be so flat from such a distance? Is it the camera?

Save as many as you claim spread the good word of the flat earth far and wide do your part!

I have seen videos of flat earthers doing tests and find results that prove spheric earth. Any cases where they admit it or any famous flat earthers turning into sphere earther? How does the flat earth community react to such things

If you just go along the equator, in a straight line, you will eventually come to your starting point. How would this happen if earth was a disc?

Well, this is new. Does South Africa not have 3D printers? Surely a man as terminally online as Flats knows Creality has been a pretty big thing for a while now.
