Are "flat-earthers" an actual thing?

This is hilarious.

Lol, Lame. Is that the best you can do?

The eyes give us the illusion of ships disappearing over the curve. Great. Go to the beach and do it. Wait for a cruise ship or barge to disappear to your eyes. Then, go get a high-powered set of binoculars and TA DA! POOF! There it is again, looking just as it did before. Keep watching until you see it again appear to disappear. Then, assuming it's a nice clear day, go get a powerful telescope and check it again. TA DA! POOF! There it is again.

This is not possible if the earth is curved.

Wow. You are right. I see it now. I was wrong all these years but now I'm enlightened. I believe. Help my unbelief.

In the ball-Earth model Antarctica is an ice continent which covers the bottom of the ball from 78 degrees South latitude to 90 and is therefore not more than 12,000 miles in circumference. Many early explorers including Captian Cook and James Clark Ross, however, in attempting Antarctic circumnavigation took 3 to 4 years and clocked 50-60,000 miles around. The British ship Challenger also made an indirect but complete circumnavigation of Antarctica traversing 69,000 miles. This is entirely inconsistent with the ball model.

You started off being not funny.

You have only gotten more not funny.

Thanks!

Umm lots of people have been to Antarctica? I am not sure why it keeps coming up. An explorer died there this week.

Oh, I pity you. So the only two people to successfully "traverse" Antarctica in its entirety suddenly die? Hello! They are either whacked once they reach the edge or they fall right off the side. Do you really think that in 2016, people couldn't figure out a way to traverse, map and video a small continent via land vehicle or air vehicle? But for some reason we have no video evidence of the continent in it's entirety and Google Maps makes it look like a dot matrix print out despite their being plenty of satellite equipment able to cover it.

And now that we are starting to catch on to the ruse, they are claiming the Antarctica is now "melting" so that once someone does reach the edge and provide photo and video evidence without being whacked, they will just cite "global warming."

Refraction, very common especially over water:

"Fry shows the contestants a video of the Sun setting, and asks them to ring in when they think the Sun has completely set.

This is, in fact, correct! The Earth’s air bends the image of the Sun upward, so we can still see the Sun even though it is physically below the horizon. If we didn’t have air, daytime would be shorter. In fact, this effect works for sunrise as well, so we see the Sun rise before it’s physically cleared the horizon."

As for rivers, they are fed additional water throughout their route. It's not uncommon for sections of rivers to have little or no declination at the surface because of the addition of water from inflows of streams, tributaries and other rivers.

"Refraction"

Nope, doesn't prove a curve.

Notice that the flag of the United Nations shows the true view f the earth:

It's flat.

Antarctica is the outer ring - an ice wall.

Sea level at high or low tide?

The Suez Canal is 100 miles long without any locks. The water is an uninterrupted continuation between the Med and the Red Sea. The Dayan line and water's surface run in perfect parallel to each other. No curvature of earth taken into account.

Wait, I thought that the UN was some giant conspiracy for world domination. Wouldn't that make it likely that their flat earth flag is carefully crafted to support that conspiracy? Doesn't that mean that the notion of a flat earth is itself a conspiracy?

Water doesn't curve.

More for you Globalists to chew on. Surveyors, engineers and architects are never required to factor the supposed curvature of the Earth into their projects. Canals, railways, bridges and tunnels for example are always cut and laid horizontally, often over hundreds of miles without any allowance for curvature. That's a fact.

In both conditions. The anacapa arch is 18 miles from the beach. That would be approx 250 ft below the horizon. Again, no curvature of the earth observed. Try again.

Datam line. Damn autocorrect....

I'm waiting for someone, anyone to prove a globe. This flat earth guy listed a ton of examples thus far.

"Datam" isn't a word. Your autocorrect is part of the evil global conspiracy.

Go up in a really tall building and you can see the curvature of the earth.

You can see the curvature of Earth even on the ground. The horizon is the same distance away in every direction so it's a circle. If it were square, you could see the corners.

No you wouldn't your eyes see the same amount of distance into the horizon.

But to answer the question. If the World is flat than why haven't we found the end of it yet?

Also how come a flight from New York to Sydney goes westward but a flight from London goes eastward?

Datum. Blame my iPad the for the conspiracy
