Are "flat-earthers" an actual thing?

Boo...hiss...

Maybe some people really do think the Earth is flat. Last summer I did a road trip from NYC to San Diego and the Earth seemed flat to me. ?

Another great thing about this video. They launched a weather balloon and took pictures from high altitude and, believe it or not, these pictures shows a curvature.

They then had to explain that this visible curvature was not due to the curvature of the Earth, but because of the bending of light.

Funny. I thought that all the pictures from NASA and SpaceX that showed a curved Earth were *fakes*. Now I hear that they are real, but that the obvious curvature does not mean that the Earth is curved. It's so hard to keep track.

Gaps in Glober logic:

The earth is a sphere. But you can’t see the curve, unless you go "really, really" high. However, when you do go "really, really" high, you have to use a fisheye lens or CGI. That is the only way you can see the curve.

Assuming y'all are correct and our small sun that's only 3000 miles away rotates around our flat earth, how do you explain extreme temperature differences on that same rotation? If you trace a line around the supposed flat earth sun path, you'll find a wide variety of average temps.

Please explain, and don't be as basic as elevation, etc. There are huge discrepancies that are unexplained in a flat earth model. Sorry to bust the entire model but I've run the numbers and it's the single most damning evidence against your ridiculous argument. Not that it needed my analysis, but there it is.

Here is an example. Barcelona & Toronto are pretty much on the same latitude. Barcelona benefits from the Gulf Stream and from the warmth of the Mediterranean year-round. Toronto sits on the edge of Lake Ontario which can freeze over during the winter. Winds and cold air come from the Arctic makes Toronto colder city.

You haven't busted the FE model. Try again.

Funny, you claim you can see the curve at sea level when boats are going over the horizon but not from 45,000ft??

I never made such a claim. Bodies of water do NOT curve- that IS the claim I made throughout this thread.

☝️ That doesn't make one bit of sense?

What's the Field of View? You can make almost any curvature disappear by using a narrow field of view (a.k.a. "zooming in"). The Earth is really big. Even 20 miles up you are still seeing just a fraction of the Earth's surface. You *can* see the curvature (if you use a wide enough field of view), but it's going to be subtle.

I have been on the fence about this issue for some time now. The facts and evidence that are provided in this thread have made me question the true shape of the earth - I can't prove that the earth is round. I have also been worried that we will never get conclusive proof of either theory - especially after my newfound hero, Mad Dog Mike, failed to get a good photo from the rocket ship and all of the flat earth expeditions to travel the ice wall have been sabotaged by the ballers. But, just last Saturday night, I had a God-given opportunity to get an answer to this riddle that has been so elusive. You see, I ran into an old friend from high school, who now happens to be engaged in the practice and teaching of astronomy at a large, well-known Midwestern university. Of course, I asked him for proof that the earth was round. At first, he chuckled and dodged my questions with generic answers - the kind you would expect from a globist. As I pressed harder and provided more proof that all the photos he has seen in his life are fakes, he started in with insults intended to disparage my sanity and belittle my existence. I think I pressed him too hard and presented too much scientifically proven evidence and he started to get nervous about what I knew. The last thing I remember from the evening is him pulling a slender, black object from his coat pocket. He pushed a button on one end and it emitted a flash of light, with a color that I have never seen before. Next thing I know, I am waking up in my bed on Easter morning. I was fully dressed, but I soon discovered that my phone had been wiped clean of all contacts and pictures. I realize now that he must be part of the cover up. Probably a high ranking member of the Globist society that is entrusted with keeping the truth from us.

What should I do? Should I expose his identity on a flat earth message board? He is a friend, so I don't want anything bad to happen to him.

The Flat-Earth clique is no doubt promoted to disengage genuine scientific enquiry in to all kinds of potential government deceptions by rebranding (particularly, qualified) dissenters as quacks.

If you believe that, then you are as crazy as the flat earthers.

Q.E.D.

The Earth is flat, stationary and non-rotating.

And we never landed on the moon.

You cannot prove that we live on a ball.

Made me chuckle. The flat, non-rotating earth is a simplifying assumption (like assuming there is no friction in a physics problem).

My favorite was the Behind The Curve flat earthers actually disproving their own flat earth beliefs. Priceless.

According to google, flat-earthers are absolutely "an actual thing". Moreover, there is even an organization called "The Flat Earth Society." founded in 1956. Now, I have no clue how in the world did they end up forming an official organization that supports the idea that was proved wrong a long time ago, but here we are. After all, why are others allowed to marry a pizza? If you know what I mean, hopefully, they will do at least some good deeds and will clean the land, lol. https://landclearingasheville.com/
