Are "flat-earthers" an actual thing?

Roman, Chinese, Islam, Japanese, Babaloyian, Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Hindu, Mayan, Incan, Navajo, Hebrew. All these civilisations believed the Earth was flat, so that give me that tripe.

You say evolving study, yet in 2017 there are no experiments that can prove the Earth is not stationary.

Here's what you people are doing by replying to this thread:

1. Flat Earth Troll trolls for people that will argue with him, thinking he is serious about the Earth being flat (he is good, and a lot of you are stupid, so you WILL go to great lengths to "prove" Earth is round to him).

2. Flat Earth Troll delights in their efforts and discounts it with on-the-ready cut-and paste text, videos, diagrams, etc. refuting their claim. This troll works particularly well because there is lots of ready-made material like this to aid in the troll.

3. This enrages/frustrates easily-trolled people (which is the goal of trolling). They argue with Flat Earth Troll. He insists he is "not a troll, you people are sheep who believe what the government tells you, and here's some proof Earth is flat." Easily-trolled people scour the internet for counter-proof that the Earth is round (which Flat Earth Troll knows, but that is beside the point). This is exactly what Flat Earth Troll wants you to do. He knows the Earth is round. You are being stupid.(repeat step 2).

4. Although some understand it as a troll, many do not and can't resist, as he seems to be good at the troll, coupled with the fact that many people are apparently stupid and don't see it as what it is: a never ending, never resolved argument that is the very essence of a troll.

5. Thread disappears for a few months. Flat Earth Troll resurrects it, often by pretending to be someone who wants to argue with Flat Earth Troll. (repeat step 1).

Addendum: Although I have pointed out what this thread is all about in plain English, Flat Earth Troll will still, incredibly, be able to bury the post and continue making stupid people engage in the never-ending argument (see above posts).

I don't think you can explain the ship slowly disappearing from bottom to top on the power of your telescope. You can explain a ship going out of the range of your human eye, and then using a telescope to bring it back into range. My guess is he'll claim the time lapse video has been faked. This is a fun game for me. I know the flat earthers are either just trolling or complete utter dipsh!ts.

I guess you are not ready to let go yet.

Wouldn't it be easier to drill through a flat earth?

Who knows, the furthest any human has drilled is 12 km into the Earth, so your guess is as good as mine. Falt earthers don't claim to have all the answers, but the Earth is flat and that much is obvious.

Shows a lack of understanding, do you think that flat Earth involves a 2D model. Look into it you won't regret it.

Well let's imagine that NASA provided some heat resistant suits that would allow for this, now answer the question.

Let me tell you a story my dear fello. A few years ago my brother said he thought the world was flat. I thought he had lost his marbles, told him he was gullible and ridiculous for making such a statement and left it at that. A few months later I was this thread on Lets Run. I wanted to ridicule and laugh at flat earthers but when I started to look into it I was not laughing for long. Initial intrigue turned into a interest but still hugely skeptical. Two years of private research, arguing against flat earthers and personal experiment on and I knew the flat earth was the correct model and we certainly do not live on a spinning globe. It takes a pliable mind, but don't rule it out completely folks. Do your own research and decide for yourself. You will most probably come to the conclusion first that the deception is too large, which was a big one for me. However I ask you if men in power can deceive you on 911 (look up WC7) then is it such a massive leap to this. The scientific method should allow ridicule of conventional thought and theory and yet there is a fair amount of personal vitriol despite evidence such as things being seen 160miles away that should be thousands of feet below the supposed curve or weather balloons reaching 140 thousand feet up and showing no curvature at all.

will repeat until the thread dies is 1000x worse than the flat earth trolls.

Go away. "Arguing" about with stupid trolls is fun. This thread is intended to be comedy.

Thanks for bumping my material bud.

No fisheye lens, no curve. The horizon always rises to eye level. It's flat.
