Flat Earth - It's NOT Ridiculous

[bekkilyn]

Are all the other planets flat too? How come we never see their edges when we look at them through a telescope? How do you explain that the flat part regularly changes and doesn't always look the same (almost as if it was a sphere being rotated)? Is the flat earth surrounded by a dome (with windows) that is surrounded by water, and if we were up on one of those flat other planets, would we be able to see the continents on earth, or would we just see a big disc surrounded by water?

Also the Jovian moons disappear behind Jupiter, not circle over the surface like the flat moon supposedly does.

The more important question:

Does anyone really know what time it is?

You know, if we looked at all this flatness at just the right angle, the entire universe would seem to vanish!

The FE crowd doesn't believe there are any other planets. They say that what we see in the sky are just points of light, and nothing more. When shown the photos taken by telescopes, the claim is that they are paintings, or CGI images done by NASA. When I tell them to look through a telescope themselves if they want to see the truth, I never get a reply to that--and I've tried to get one at least a dozen times.

Yes, it is.

Well that's just silly of them!

 

[SolomonVII]

Flat earth is special.

I know. That especially applies to the ones who say things like, "I don't just believe what NASA says or what other people force down my throat. I do my own research!". And then they go online and link to videos they see on Youtube of those who agree with them, but they won't invest in a telescope to see things for themselves.

The idea of a flat earth despite incontrovertible evidence is beyond ridiculous.

Satellites and visual, human confirmation has proven it is not flat. As has science spanning back a long way that still stands true.

I think the real problem is people want to be a part of something. That something changes from person to person, but I pity the people that cling on to such pathetic misinformation like a flat earth or the out right dangerous and child abuse issues like anti-vax because of Facebook Mom science.

Awww, gee, thanks for pitying poor ol' us.

Save it. We will be those who are ultimately vindicated. We don't require your pity when it is you who are the confused.

Glad to see you have such an open mind.

I do have an open mind. That's how I was able to consider the possibility of a flat earth in the first place. It's all you who instantly reject and mock that lack the open mind.

why compromise the perfectly good truth of round earth for a demonstrably false idea just for the sake of someone patting you on the back and saying "see you have an open mind too."

Yep because we know EVERYTHING on YouTube is true, because...YouTube.

What are you talking about? You think it's because I wanted someone to approve of me? Seriously? This was the completely wrong move if I wanted people to like me.

You want to see illicit and unrelenting hate? Tell people the reality that their earth is flat.

right because people dont like being lied to, that would illicit some anger. most of the population are just not that naive.

Hate? They’ll just laugh at you, most likely.

I didn't like being lied to all those decades about the shape of the earth. And, yes, most of the population is still that naive.

Try it out for a while. When I said people will hate you, I meant it. Pure seething anger and hatred is a typical response.
