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.
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.

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.
