Listen to Hanshan, he knows how the sky works and you can figure out the shape of the earth by looking at the sky. Dont bother doing any science and experiments, just look to the stars for answers. LOL
I can explain the "pull". The Earth is a giant magnet, and there's iron in our blood! ๐๐๐
obviously. why didn't I think of that?
yes, you can actually learn a lot about things from observing your environment.
i suggest you try it.
That's why anemic people sometimes can be seen hovering over the ground, because they have less of it.
explain why the pull is measurably lower at higher altitudes smarty-pants
Strength follows a negative inverse-squared relationship with distance, just like we'd expect from magnetism.
But this special magnetism is affecting silver and gold too, not just ferromagnetic materials.
Maybe we should give it a special name, to distinguish it from regular types of magnetism?
oh I see. so the pull isn't coming from the surface, it's coming from the mass beneath us.
so we've managed to replace an invisible force with another invisible force ๐
very scientific.
Well, you know, Occam's Bludgeon.
I think we should use the symbol "g" (lowercase) for this not-magnetism.
It still needs a name, though. Maybe it could start with G?
pretty sure theres some old Latin word that means "weight" or "heaviness"
that could work ?
buoyancy!
no wait, thats not it...
I was thinking "Pondus", but "p" is already overused.
So we have to go more figurative.
Negotium? Causa?
If only there was such a word, but starting with G...
How do we translate "seriousness", again?
๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ I've never been so thankful for flat-earthers until this thread!
we've almost got it figured out
for those who need a visual...
theres no reason for this perspective difference to happen if everyone is standing on the same flat earth.
the jewish illuminati will invert the moon appearance
Drones carrying fun-house mirrors.
It is known, Khaleesi. It is known.
So i want to know how my car works. Hanshan: check the sky in the southern hemisphere...
Any other gems?
Oil is a psyop, its actually undead skeleton dinosaurs harnessed under the hood, still trying to outrun Noah's flood.
Don't look under the hood to see if it makes sense, that would be letting THEM win
Nice cartoon. Any real life demonstrations?
this is the " real life demonstration " of several billion people.
and yes I can send you a picture I took from the southern hemisphere of Orion being upside down.
you can't explain it because it doesn't fit your model.
I suggest trying to explain observable data instead of autistically screeching.
if your model doesn't explain a basic observable fact about the world,
maybe it's because it's fucking garbage.
LMAO
I dont have a model, you are making the claims and have a model. I am providing practical examples of the earths UPWARD motion which would be impossible on a ball. Cartoons or physics? Which way you going?
No, show me a photo of the earth with you a top a ball the same as your cartoon. This isnt what happens in reality. You can deny the truth all you like
in reality the constellations are inverted depending on what hemisphere you're in.
explain that on a flat plane.
"paeoPlE doNt StAhNd oN tOP of A BalL durrr"
Right, you want to change the subject.
I get it.
You part of a cult
Flat? That's preposterous. The earth is shaped like a B-cup pair of titties. And it's not revolving or rotating. It's jiggling. How else could you explain mountains, valleys, or earthquakes?
until you can explain the phenomena people have wondered about for millennia, you can't tell other people they're part of a cult ๐
what? That's absurd.
they're at least c cup...
Your religious stories are cool. How does the the sun and moon in the sky at the same time work in your world? Or the 24 hour sun... derp
deflect all you like.
it just makes it more obvious that you can't explain what we're talking about.
Deflect? These phenomenon debunk your absurd claims of upside down people in Australia held on a ball by a magical force you cant see, prove or confirm exists. RETARD
nobody said anything about upside down people.
obviously you'd rather just attack me
or talk about ANYTHING else then obvious observable phenomena that doesn't match your viewpoint.
unfortunately it just makes you look stupid.
With your level of retardation, calling you out is the sensible thing to do here.
Magical forces
Cartoons
Upside down people
Look at sky to explain how earth working
Ignore practical reality
Anything missing from your beliefs?
I'm in general a very sceptical person, I expect the worst from the people in power. From the moon landing to 9/11. But, when good people starts to talk about lizards, flat earth or gigants i start to get worried. Are they just hyper alert / paranoid or are the deliberately trying to align sound scepticism with Looney toon conspiracy.
I agree with you that it's usually in powerful institutions best interest to lie.
but when someone's alternate explanation does not explain basic observational data,
and requires about a million people over a few hundred years to cooperate in a conspiracy,
it just isn't plausible.
it's just entertainment for them.
I was talking about this on some mushroom gummies on a hike today lol. Your conspiracy theory has to explain things better and more realistically than the traditional narrative. If you have to bend over backwards to make nonsense make sense, then itโs not a good conspiracy theory lol.
exactly.
it seems ridiculous to someone from the 17th century to imagine people walking around a ball without tumbling off into the firmament
but if it explains the data, we better try to find a force thats holding them on the ball.
Debating flat earthers is fairly similar to banging your head against a wall. The logic that the government lies about everything, therefore the earth must be flat is extremely faulty and ridiculous.
People in the 17th century didn't believe the earth was flat. The earth has been treated as round by the educated since the 5th century BC. It is fun to paint the medieval period as backward, but there isn't much truth in it.
It is like the myth that Columbus was trying to prove the earth was round. But everyone already knew that in his day. What he was trying to prove was that the earth was small enough to sail west to India.
He had trouble getting a ship, because people who could math knew that it was a longer route.
Also, what is the purpose of this grand conspiracy? Who is gaining what from it? I imagine any answer to this question to be nonsensical.
Exactly.
Because if there was an ice wall, nobody would wanna go beyond the wall to see what's on the other side they would just want to stay in this system that enslaved us. And we can't go nowhere but die. And then even after you die, your family has to pay the taxes to federal government. I mean, maybe that's why they want to keep us in this system. I don't know, but yeah, you're right. Why would they wanna lie?
I generally think that human history is much longer and more complicated than we think.
as you say, I expect there have been people that have known that the earth is round for several thousand years
but the point that I'm making is that people were still having this discussion, just like this, in the 17th century
like most things, it's usually an exercise in developing a coherent argument yourself
and perhaps edifying for somebody who reads it
so the theory is
a model with a flat earth and ice wall would make people curious and inspired
but a copernican model with a vast, practically infinite universe doesn't?
I really can't think of one TBH
If there was an ice wall, 100% there would be tons of people trying to go over that thing. Thatโs what humans do.
Yeah, with all the military and all the navy ships out there. Yeah, you already see people getting stopped and getting arrested.
Ohh I forgot the guys in this thread. Don't watch videos.
If you walk up the beach too close to the military base on Coronado Island, or up the beach too close to the nuclear power plant on Lake Michigan, the same thing will happen to you. All that means is youโve entered a restricted zone that the guys with guns wonโt allow you to be in.
Ok ok ok ok have a good night
but the guy in the video says it's all ships in Antarctica.
clearly that means there's a worldwide conspiracy.
