112 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I do wonder how many people today could actually prove the Earth is a sphere, just working from the ground up on experiments. Appealing to experts isn't stupid, but there must be a lot of people who insult flat-Earthers without actually understanding the whats and hows of why they're wrong.

Or maybe they really are just morons, someone has to be. yeah I'm familiar with the shadow proof. I just don't think a lot of people would consider that idea without knowing it was done before. iirc--and I could be wrong here--the flat Earther stuff came about from people trying to improve their logic, math and argumentation by supporting an erroneous position, and only after a while did people start taking the position seriously, missing the point of the exercises.

I always thought the flat earth groups were for click bait and no one actually believed it but I was bored and read some of the replies and I guess it really shouldn't surprise me that some people really do believe it, seems to be a more of a religious thing though and taking the bible too literally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe King Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 This reminds me of a joke. 71% of the Earths surface is water. And that water is not carbonated. Sounds like the Earths surface (majority of it at least) is flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwarrior Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If the earth is truly flat, wouldn't you sail off the fuckin edge? Unless someone out there is saying that the earth is flat and double sided like a piece of lined paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appealing to experts isn't stupid, but there must be a lot of people who insult flat-Earthers without actually understanding the whats and hows of why they're wrong. Actually quite easy; Go to the top of a tall building, if the earth was flat you'd see the same distance, if it's round you see further. Grab a friend somewhere else on earth and observe the shadows. Watch a sunset, when the sun vanishes quickly go up a hill and watch it set again. Watch a ship disappear from bottom up as it sails out to sea. Watch a lunar eclipse. At 35,000 feet with enough of a horizon visible you can see the earths curvature. Edited March 11 by Dumb Nuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go to space, there's a dome around the earth, we basically live in a snow globe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
