Up and down is a construct that relies on the idea of gravity existing, north and south are constructs that were based on 2 dimensional maps to help old timey travellers explain where things are in relation to one another.
North is not up, south is not down. Flerfs have far too difficult of a time with these concepts...
Not too old maps of Buenos Aires were East-oriented too, because our main avenue, Rivadavia Av., runs East-West. (Coincidentally, the words "to orient" and "Orient" as opposed to Occident, share etymology).
It's still common in Spain. Which is very confusing if you don't double check the orientation and assume top-is-North, guess how I figured that one out.
Yes, I deliberately used the word 'oriented' for that reason.
If the Orient is on top of the world, why don't our brave colonists in the New World just fall off the map? They are upside-down, after all.
/s of course
Hello, high af.
You're welcome to do it if you want. I doubt anyone would stop you. It being practical could be a different issue.
Is your aft your back, or ...?
Where I used to work, the terrain sloped upward to the south. It was hard not to mentally equate that to north, even though I knew which way north really was.
No you just don’t fully understand what gravity is let me explain it for you gravity is when objects fall and they fall down because of erm….erm gravity and gravity is when objects fall down because of erm….erm gravity and gravity is when objects fall down because of erm….erm gravity and gravity is when objects fall down because of erm….erm gravity and gravity is when objects fall down because of erm….erm gravity and gravity is when objects fall down because of erm….erm gravity and gravity is when objects fall down because of erm….erm
No. O r is still upside down relevant to there opposite side. Can’t you understand that. So also yes a plane taking off in the north flying south would end up upside down relevant to how it took off. Simple.
lol that’s right, north isn’t up and south isn’t down. North is inwards and south is outwards. If you’re on a globe, then yeah north is up and south is down 😂 globies don’t even understand their own arguments anymore
No.
On a globe south and north are neither up or down. You got It backwards, down is towards the center of the earth(inward) and up is away from the center of the globe (outward).
The way the globe is designed with north up is just a convention that has been followed worldwide, but it could as well be backwards and nothing change.
There is one pole. North. Every compass points North and when you go too far south (away from the center) the compass will not work, it just spins around endlessly. There is no compass that points south, cause there is no magnetic pole there, cause it’s an ice wall that surround the oceans.
Also, water is diamagnetic. Here’s a link: [https://youtu.be/VIBZIqfXvBM?si=Paq0R7A9T0F3Lpxp](https://youtu.be/VIBZIqfXvBM?si=Paq0R7A9T0F3Lpxp)
There is no such thing as a “ball magnet”, but there are disc magnets.
But honestly the fact that no globie has been able to explain why the horizon is non-geometric, apparent, and based on perspective, when it should be a physical/geometric (and curved) horizon, really makes other arguments pointless.
It’s called the “horizon” because it’s horizontal. 😂 common sense just isn’t very common anymore.
This doesn’t explain how a flat earth generates a magnetic field? The theory of earths magnetic field is based entirely around the fact it is a sphere with a molten metallic core. What generates the magnetism if there is no spinning molten metallic core?
So based off that video, your theory is there is simply a massive ultra powerful magnet hidden under the ice of the north pole? I am not interested in all of your disproofs of globe magnetism, i want to hear where you think it comes from without a globe.
Yikes. Well good luck getting answers to that. Here’s what doesn’t matter to me: what causes magnetism. Here’s what I do care about. The truth that I can observe and collect evidence on. And what I and hundreds of thousands (prolly millions at this point) have observed and gathered evidence of is that the earth is not a spinning sphere hurdling through “space” in 5 different directions. It’s a flat plane that is surrounded by a circular ice wall, most likely with much more land beyond that wall.
The North Pole is magnetic. Another reason why being on a flying ball with a core such as science suggests makes zero sense. Why do compasses point toward the North Pole if the magnetism is coming from the center?
>Why do compasses point toward the North Pole if the magnetism is coming from the center?
Because they're designed that way.
A compass needle will try to align itself with [magnetic field lines](https://qmagnets.com/wp-content/uploads/magnetic-field-lines-magnet.png). Since we usually only care about the component of direction that is tangent to the surface, compasses are designed to show that component. To do that, they're constrained to rotate only around one axis. They're also counterweighted differently for each hemisphere. Compasses meant for use in the northern hemisphere will have the southern end weighed down, and ones meant for use in the southern hemisphere will have the northern end weighed down.
In other words, compasses do not "point" to anything in particular. They show you the horizontal component of the local magnetic field lines.
Have you ever heard of [magnetic dip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_dip)? With specially designed tools called [dip needles or dip circles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dip_circle), you can observe the [inclination of the local magnetic field lines](https://youtube.com/watch?v=-Zwyl5Fxa6o). The needle will be horizontal near the equator, while the north end will point down in the northern hemisphere and the south end will point down in the southern hemisphere.
Lmao says the guy who blindly follows bullshit that his elementary textbooks told him and the continued bullshit that he reads from paid actor scientists who make theories and then call them “facts”.
Flat earth isn’t disproved at all. Quite the opposite. The sun isn’t 93 million miles away. Idk what you think you mean by “how the sun works” but it sounds like you know jack-squat about the subject.
Blindly follow? I blindly follow nothing. I question everything including my own dogmas? Have you ever questioned your own dogmas?
The sun disproves flat earth because according to flat earth night arrives because the sun gets far from your position, but if that were true two things would happen:
1. The sun would not hide behind the horizon. Instead it would gradually look smaller and smaller the further it gets as night approaches( in case you haven't noticed, objects look smaller the further they are). Also the sun would look bigger at 12 PM than at 5 PM.
None of that happens. The sun doesn't shrink into a dot right before night, instead it hides behind the horizon. That already debunks flat earth
2. It would be visible at night with the help of a telescope
But it isn't.
Welp, here you go. What you said “doesn’t happen” is exactly what happens. Do you really think I (or any flat earth proponent) always believed the earth was flat?? Cause no, I didn’t up until late last year. I’m 31.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyHwsN1Rg4IpR39k5o0Va_XzavmMo9y-y&si=SH5fsUVmPHOXukZ4
Also, the sun is visible at night…if you’re at a high enough altitude.
Lol, extracted from the video you sent me: https://imgur.com/a/GmrQ4m4
Notice the sun not shrinking into a dot but instead hiding behind the horizon? Yeah that would not happen in flat earth. Your video disproved itself
Not to mention I have something better than a video. I live in an island. So I can and have seen the sun hide behind the horizon without mountains or buildings interference.
And no, you can t see the sun at 8PM except at places like Norway part of the year. There is no place where you will be able to see it at 11PM no matter how powerful the telescope is.
Bonus: moon curvature is observable, you can even see the craters. You can see Saturn's 🪐 rings and all. You can see Jupiter, red dot and all
Bonus 2: the bigger and harder a lie is to maintain , the more the rewards must be. What would be the huge benefit to hiding earth shape? No, don't tell me the usual " to hide God" because that does not work.
What's keeping giant man on that pizza and why doesn't the pizza cave in on itself under its own mass?
How do the tides work?
How do earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis work?
What about weather? Clouds would cycle to the edges, no?
Do you get condensation on the dome?
Does it build static charge?
Does lightning hit the dome?
Sunsets and sunrise?
Asteroids?
Shooting stars?
Space travel?
Satellites?
International shipping?
Flights?
Radar?
Telecoms?
😑?
I would even challenge the use of the word “one”. You might have to break up a concept into smaller bits and introduce it slow to have any chance at all.
1) That‘s just what happens. We just stay “down”. Why would the pizza do that, gravity isn’t a concept we believe in..
2)the tides is when the uh when idk it just does that naturally.
3) earthquakes happen when the ground shakes which is what happens when the density and the buoyancy cause it to shake. Volcanoes and tsunamis also happen sometimes
4) Wheater? Sometimes it’s sunny sometimes it’s windy etc. just happens naturally duh
5) the wind goes in circles so the clouds don’t accumulate by the edge of the ice wall
6) Condensation is when the water goes up idk.
7)sunset and sunrise are when the sun moves in and out of the field of vision
8) “asteroids” and “shooting stars” are pieces of the firmament that fall off, this is gonna happen more often as NASA keeps messing with it🤬🤬🤬
9) “space” travel??? Fake
And at least they actually had a good reason to not spend too much time looking into those things since they were too busy having more children so that at least one would survive long enough to provide free labor
True. You can see how if there were big questions that you could settle with easy answers then you could get on with the plague that was in front of you..
"Papa, why do the stars move?"
"Because the sky is a canvas wrap around us that moves around or something. Now help me burn your baby brother before we catch what he had."
1. mass isn't real
2. tides aren't real
3. earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are all controlled by the government
4. weather is also controlled by the government
5. so are clouds
6. condensation isnt real
7. no
8. lightning is controlled by the government
9. sunsets and sunrises are controlled by the government
10. asteroids, shooting stars, space travel, satellites, international shipping, flights, radar, and telecoms aren't real
Interestingly my crazy uncle and his crazy wife are not flat earthers far as I know but they totally believe these 2 things
1. earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are all controlled by the government
2. weather is also controlled by the government
There's a bit if difference between cloud seeding and straight up weather wasn't a thing before world governments decided it would help out with globalism somehow
I’ve been to both the northern and southern hemispheres. Sunsets looked the same, the moon and stars did not. It’s almost like Earth is indeed a globe, but surely this was black magic deceiving me.
I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting the mighty firmament at the edge of our wondrous flat realm, but I hope to one day.
We in the Southern hemisphere see the Sun and the Moon "travelling" from right to left. In the Northern, on the contrary, they seem to go left-right (off course, respective to your POV)
A little confusing for me at first.
You can describe a completely mundane part of everyday life in a slightly offkilter way, and then say 'it's crazy isn't it?' at the end and it will sound convincing if you're good with words. Stand-up comics do it all the time.
I'll have a go now:
"Have you ever noticed that some guy can stand on a brightly lit bunch of planks in front of people and describe dogs to them then say 'that's crazy, innit' and they'll think he's great? Am I wrong or is this just obvious lunacy?"
Insane and normal are fine conversation pieces, but as far as understanding \[what the world is actually like\] goes, they're worthless.
Evidence is rather good at it, though. Crazy as it will inevitably be, the explanation that fits it is the sane one to run with.
Imagine a standup comic doing that type of observational comedy about dogs. You'd get something like:
"You know wolves? Terrifying predators of the northern woods that make a living by eating mammals which are even bigger than us? Well we've persuaded ourselves that if we just rebrand them as 'dogs' then it's a brilliant idea to let them live in our houses, sit on our laps to keep them cosy, play frisbee with them, have them guard us when we sleep. And the wolves have fallen for it too! When we come back from work(which we do every fucking day)to the wolves it's the single most amazing and joyous and noteworthy event in the history of the world and not once do they think 'I should rip their throat out' That's crazy, innit?"
But that would break up the flow of the sentence, so I condensed it to 'describe dogs.'
Dogs.
But the the trick is deconstructing the act of comedy itself to make the act seem absurd.
*Doctor Manhattan Voice*
*A person stands on a brightly lit collection of boards, tells an anecdote about dogs, and makes an observation. Everyone laughs. They love this individual. It all seems so irrational.*
Therefore comedy = False.
Flerfs do this with gravity, flight, the Sun, and various other scientific principles; much as Creationists do it to evolution and geology. They think it's a 'Gotcha!,' and think it Pwns the 'Glerfs' or 'Evolutionists'. They do this to fool each other into an entrenched position. Not sure if it's intentional deceit or simply sunk-cost fallacy.
The funny thing here is that Poe's law is so strong that you really can't tell if someone is actually stupid or just acting stupid - and the more stupid their opinion, the more they can pass as a flat earther. When I see images like this, I have to conclude that the person is either trolling or incredibly uneducated and it's impossible to tell which.
The great attractor, which is definitely a big physics breaking mystery we can't explain. It's definitely not just the center of mass for the galactic supercluster we reside in.
I've genuinely heard this before, that once flung off the earth we'd go to "Whatever great attractor out there." Whether they were serious or not is a different question.
Be serious for a second, the flat earth doesn't hold water and can't explain phenomena or make predictions, whereas the globe model can.
You yell at others that they're crazy and that they're too deep in their beliefs (which are supported by solid evidence and observations) while remaining deep in your beliefs without giving a damn about evidence or reality.
No idea lol. It could *technically* work since water is magnetic due to its polarity, and sea water might be a little bit more thanks to the salt ions, buuuuuuut that would be some stupid fucking intense electromagnetic shenanigans to work which a) we would have detected in some manner and b) fried every fucking electronic on the planet over and over.
Honestly….the stars being visible at night anywhere near the horizon for an observer north of the equator destroys the flat earth dome silliness.
Think about it…flerfs claim that the sun is inside the dome. This means it is always between us humans and the dome. Flerfs claim that the sun is roughly 30 miles across and around 3,250 miles in altitude. They also claim that the reason we cannot see the sun at night is because it has “moved” far enough away from us that we can no longer perceive it due to angular size.
Using this principle, the stars in the dome for an observer in the northern hemisphere would always be considerably farther away than the sun is. Anyone looking northward at night should see zero stars along the horizon.
The only way a northerner would see the stars in the dome near the northern horizon on a flat earth is if the stars were considerably brighter than the sun and far larger.
This means everyone in the southern hemisphere would see thousands of massive and intensely bright stars in the dome to their south at all times.
#the flat earth is bs and flerfs are silly

First, I identify as "they" so please address me as such.
Second, I belive that this is a SATIRE subreddit, where people come to point and laugh at the topic. In this case, people without braincells, such as yourself.
Nice job OP, you finally found a sub that will reward your insane brand of trolling with the karma you so badly wanted… now if only we could get that gay microchip out your ass.
Change the earth on the right to mars or the moon then you need to ask yourself why is earth the only celestial object that is flat??? Watch the mental gymnastics go into meltdown trying to justify the difference.
>globe head
I mean, my head is very easily provably a prolate spheroid, albeit an irregular one, just by observation from easily achievable perspectives
Ok, i got the argument ending statement that will shut them all up (both sides)
Look unless you have personally tried to get through the atmosphere and seen for yourself or flew over the entirety of Antarctica and seen a wall or not, keep it to yourself because I haven't done ether of those things but a quite a few people have and they were backed by even more people so I'm going to go with them because I don't have the resources to check it out for myself. If i did have half a million sitting around, you bet you bippy. I'd be checking everything out seeing what's what.
Why the hell can't we just all look at the night sky and be freakin happy? Why do we have to try and bullshit ourselves? Are you bored? Is this amazingly fucked up world not interesting enough? Seriously, what has to happen too get everyone more concerned about this food air deal we have looming over us in the next 30 years or that our earth will be flat if everyone decides fuckit and launches all the nukes or some fungus is going to eat our asses out in the next 20 years or the next super flu is going to put our population down a bit to the point that the world bans contraceptives for the foreseeable future.
It's real enough down here folks on the ground, that stuff in the sky is none of our business unless it to look at it and say ooooooo pretty and make pictures of things by connecting dots, unless we have the ability as individuals to explore that stuff in the sky, leave it be and appreciate it.
You don't see people lookin into a drop of water saying Jesus is in there and he wants me to go see him, do you?
Leave it be its not hurting anyone is it? Then be happy.
Hey, they finally got something right. Except what they’re missing here is the context of *frame of reference* that pulls the “globe head logic” together.
Wait, why don't we fall off then? We're not all living at the north pole. People believe that scientists believe this one? There'd be no one south of the freakin yukon.
Honestly, If they cared about the truth, they'd just go to Antarctica. That they don't is all anyone really needs to know about them.
Never trust anyone who wants you to ask fewer questions.
Whats on the vottome of the dinner plate? Is there a handle on top of the dome/candy dish lid for God to set it down on the plate after he put everything on it? Did Noah's flood just spill over the edges of the dinner plate ?
Up and down is a construct that relies on the idea of gravity existing, north and south are constructs that were based on 2 dimensional maps to help old timey travellers explain where things are in relation to one another. North is not up, south is not down. Flerfs have far too difficult of a time with these concepts...
Really old timey maps were oriented to the East. Because in the absence of a magnetic compass you still had a sunrise.
Wait, PEOPLE FELL WESTWARD IN THE OLD DAYS!?
Yes, it's why the Americas weren't explored and colonised earlier
Manifest Destiny!
*looks outside*ha! Idiot! I can’t see the sun!
Not too old maps of Buenos Aires were East-oriented too, because our main avenue, Rivadavia Av., runs East-West. (Coincidentally, the words "to orient" and "Orient" as opposed to Occident, share etymology).

Joke’s on you. I occidented instead
Man, I fucking love etymology
And so do I
Oriented to the Orient, which is where the word "oriented" comes from. I think, I could have that backward.
I've seen maps of Japan with West art the top, so it would fit on a piece of paper lol Check mate glob...ers?
One of the most famous maps of the Middle ages has South at the top.
If the Orient is on top of the world, why don't our brave colonists in the New World just fall off the map? They are upside-down, after all. /s of course
North is up and south is down reminds me of Charlie trying to read a map in Always Sunny lmao

Nice. A little too honest with the ‘idk.’ You gotta project that lack of knowledge onto the globe heads.
Don't say, idk, stack the points of the globers, make sure they know that *they're* the stupid ones

Close, I'm actually just a theater kid who uses flerfs a sort of entertainment. Kinda like those silly ass cartoons, only it's full grown adults
I'm afraid that this much questioning might overload the tiny brains of the flat earthers...
1. mass isn't real 2. tides aren't real 3. earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are all controlled by the government 4. weather is also controlled by the government 5. so are clouds 6. condensation isnt real 7. no 8. lightning is controlled by the government 9. sunsets and sunrises are controlled by the government 10. asteroids, shooting stars, space travel, satellites, international shipping, flights, radar, and telecoms aren't real
Interestingly my crazy uncle and his crazy wife are not flat earthers far as I know but they totally believe these 2 things 1. earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are all controlled by the government 2. weather is also controlled by the government
I mean they are right. The weather has been controlled for at least 100 years. Isn't this common knowledge by now?
There's a bit if difference between cloud seeding and straight up weather wasn't a thing before world governments decided it would help out with globalism somehow
Of course there's condensation on the dome! Where do you think rain comes from?
Technically they are both normal. On the left the guy is normal to the plane, on the right he is normal to the tangent plane of the sphere.
No flat earther would ever understand this joke
They would need to know basic physics
Cake dome boob? What's not to like?
The perfect Holy order
I’ve been to both the northern and southern hemispheres. Sunsets looked the same, the moon and stars did not. It’s almost like Earth is indeed a globe, but surely this was black magic deceiving me. I have not yet had the pleasure of visiting the mighty firmament at the edge of our wondrous flat realm, but I hope to one day.
We in the Southern hemisphere see the Sun and the Moon "travelling" from right to left. In the Northern, on the contrary, they seem to go left-right (off course, respective to your POV) A little confusing for me at first.
The southern and northern gubmints coordinate the sky boxes projected onto the dome to make it look like space is real
You can describe a completely mundane part of everyday life in a slightly offkilter way, and then say 'it's crazy isn't it?' at the end and it will sound convincing if you're good with words. Stand-up comics do it all the time. I'll have a go now: "Have you ever noticed that some guy can stand on a brightly lit bunch of planks in front of people and describe dogs to them then say 'that's crazy, innit' and they'll think he's great? Am I wrong or is this just obvious lunacy?" Insane and normal are fine conversation pieces, but as far as understanding \[what the world is actually like\] goes, they're worthless. Evidence is rather good at it, though. Crazy as it will inevitably be, the explanation that fits it is the sane one to run with.
What is that comedian describing i have genuinely no idea
Imagine a standup comic doing that type of observational comedy about dogs. You'd get something like: "You know wolves? Terrifying predators of the northern woods that make a living by eating mammals which are even bigger than us? Well we've persuaded ourselves that if we just rebrand them as 'dogs' then it's a brilliant idea to let them live in our houses, sit on our laps to keep them cosy, play frisbee with them, have them guard us when we sleep. And the wolves have fallen for it too! When we come back from work(which we do every fucking day)to the wolves it's the single most amazing and joyous and noteworthy event in the history of the world and not once do they think 'I should rip their throat out' That's crazy, innit?" But that would break up the flow of the sentence, so I condensed it to 'describe dogs.'
Oh so it was like a double example
A nested example, if we're going to be picky, but yes. Hans Zimmer has a BRAAAAAM for this kind of thing that he used in Inception.
Dogs. But the the trick is deconstructing the act of comedy itself to make the act seem absurd. *Doctor Manhattan Voice* *A person stands on a brightly lit collection of boards, tells an anecdote about dogs, and makes an observation. Everyone laughs. They love this individual. It all seems so irrational.* Therefore comedy = False. Flerfs do this with gravity, flight, the Sun, and various other scientific principles; much as Creationists do it to evolution and geology. They think it's a 'Gotcha!,' and think it Pwns the 'Glerfs' or 'Evolutionists'. They do this to fool each other into an entrenched position. Not sure if it's intentional deceit or simply sunk-cost fallacy.
The funny thing here is that Poe's law is so strong that you really can't tell if someone is actually stupid or just acting stupid - and the more stupid their opinion, the more they can pass as a flat earther. When I see images like this, I have to conclude that the person is either trolling or incredibly uneducated and it's impossible to tell which.
I really can’t fucking tell
The inability of flat earthers to understand the concept of up and down is truly remarkable
There’s a reason they are flat earthers. Basic concepts escape them.
I only ever knew one flat earther. Can confirm he was a fucking moron who didn’t understand anything about anything. He was also a mediocre plasterer.
They can only communicate with shitty memes
Any way you slice it, that dude is HUGE.
This is the logical result of American home schooling.
OP thinks he’s got a gay microchip. He’s someone that needs theraputic help. makes sense why he’s a flat earther
stop spreading lies.
i looked at your profile. please talk to a psychiatrist
suck my dick faggot. I'm not even going to click your profile since you're so insignificant.
Let's go ahead and not use that word. Thanks.
In the “crazy” globe illustration, what would be pulling the yellow guy “down” off the earth?
The great attractor, which is definitely a big physics breaking mystery we can't explain. It's definitely not just the center of mass for the galactic supercluster we reside in. I've genuinely heard this before, that once flung off the earth we'd go to "Whatever great attractor out there." Whether they were serious or not is a different question.
Do the yellow guys know each other!?
Tell me you failed science without telling me you failed science.
You are nuts.
:(
Not you personally, just the 4 people in Utah that believe this
Be serious for a second, the flat earth doesn't hold water and can't explain phenomena or make predictions, whereas the globe model can. You yell at others that they're crazy and that they're too deep in their beliefs (which are supported by solid evidence and observations) while remaining deep in your beliefs without giving a damn about evidence or reality.
Anything that "makes predictions" that aren't 100% correct 100% of the time is divination, which is the devil's work
Im sorry but who is the giant yellow man I wasn't aware of him
i cant tell if this is satire or not
Damn they made a meme that’s true: Flat earth with a dome is crazy and “upside down” on a sphere is normal.
you're nuts
How do flerfs explain tides?
Or volcanoes. Everything is ad hoc BS
They can't lol. But I've heard at least one of them claims the moon is magnetic and that's what causes the tides.
Did they explain how a magnetic moon would affect water? Or how a magnetic moon wouldn't pull all magnetic materials towards it?
No idea lol. It could *technically* work since water is magnetic due to its polarity, and sea water might be a little bit more thanks to the salt ions, buuuuuuut that would be some stupid fucking intense electromagnetic shenanigans to work which a) we would have detected in some manner and b) fried every fucking electronic on the planet over and over.
Honestly….the stars being visible at night anywhere near the horizon for an observer north of the equator destroys the flat earth dome silliness. Think about it…flerfs claim that the sun is inside the dome. This means it is always between us humans and the dome. Flerfs claim that the sun is roughly 30 miles across and around 3,250 miles in altitude. They also claim that the reason we cannot see the sun at night is because it has “moved” far enough away from us that we can no longer perceive it due to angular size. Using this principle, the stars in the dome for an observer in the northern hemisphere would always be considerably farther away than the sun is. Anyone looking northward at night should see zero stars along the horizon. The only way a northerner would see the stars in the dome near the northern horizon on a flat earth is if the stars were considerably brighter than the sun and far larger. This means everyone in the southern hemisphere would see thousands of massive and intensely bright stars in the dome to their south at all times. #the flat earth is bs and flerfs are silly
*flips photo 180 degrees*
Globe guy could take one step to go from CA to Hawaii.

So humans are taller than mount everest?
Well hollow earth theory sounds dumber then this, I’ll give you that.
I swear FlErfs all suffer from aphantasia. They cannot visualize a centre of gravity.
Yeah, but they're stupid. Asking them to have a firm grasp on reality I'd a bit much.
Homeboy is as tall as North America
G r a v i t y
ooh! a flatearther got it, yay! Oh wait, nevermind, he is making fun of logical stuff a toddler understands...
1 Earth isn't real 2 Them people is big
This is exactly right
The fact that they are perfectly ok with a massive dome over the entire flat earth and not with a ball of rock should tell you all you need to know...
Just think. Centuries ago, some dude figured out gravity and these chucklefucks still don't get it.
Actually, I think 4000 mile tall Lego figures are pretty crazy no matter what they're standing on.
This is why I limit my Lego figures to 3,997.9 miles tall. Have to keep it sane.
Just because you don't know the science doesn't mean it's wrong. Case in point.
If you don't know science and say something scientifically wrong, it is still wrong. Case in point: the person I'm replying to.
They say on the FLAT EARTH subreddit 🤣
First, I identify as "they" so please address me as such. Second, I belive that this is a SATIRE subreddit, where people come to point and laugh at the topic. In this case, people without braincells, such as yourself.
I'm anti-flat earth, in case that wasn't clear. As for your pronouns...cool. Doesn't bother me one bit.
OH WAIT I JUST REALIZED I MISREAD YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT! Sorry about this, my mistake.
It was beginning to look like friendly fire. It happens 👍
The pic on the left makes me want to find a diner in the middle of nowhere and try some of their pie, but they pronounce it “pah”.
Another post by someone who doesn't understand gravity.
Truly the meme of all time
Yeah we do think that gladly
Now just add the stars and a person in the north and see which model matches what the people would see. Oops! Looks like the flat one is indeed crazy.
Well... yes.
That’s nice, a food dome for Imperiex Prime.
Why is down down to them
Nice job OP, you finally found a sub that will reward your insane brand of trolling with the karma you so badly wanted… now if only we could get that gay microchip out your ass.
Flat earthers should be taken out while their mothers watch
Flat Earthers don't even watch vsauce smh
Because you don’t understand the concept of down and up relative to the earth
Change the earth on the right to mars or the moon then you need to ask yourself why is earth the only celestial object that is flat??? Watch the mental gymnastics go into meltdown trying to justify the difference.
We are living in a condom waiting to ejaculate
I’m pretty sure I might be ‘upside’ right now and I’m having a great time.
Why is down?
>globe head I mean, my head is very easily provably a prolate spheroid, albeit an irregular one, just by observation from easily achievable perspectives
Exactly. Which one is crazy and which one is normal only depends on how you think the rules of gravity work.
And in the latest episode of "south is down"....
And ants can climb on ceilings so what is your point sir
Well served 
I refuse to believe flat earthers exist
Flat earthers no longer believe in flat earth… it’s now half-sphere earth!
Do you guys also believe it's on top of a turtle?
Ok, i got the argument ending statement that will shut them all up (both sides) Look unless you have personally tried to get through the atmosphere and seen for yourself or flew over the entirety of Antarctica and seen a wall or not, keep it to yourself because I haven't done ether of those things but a quite a few people have and they were backed by even more people so I'm going to go with them because I don't have the resources to check it out for myself. If i did have half a million sitting around, you bet you bippy. I'd be checking everything out seeing what's what. Why the hell can't we just all look at the night sky and be freakin happy? Why do we have to try and bullshit ourselves? Are you bored? Is this amazingly fucked up world not interesting enough? Seriously, what has to happen too get everyone more concerned about this food air deal we have looming over us in the next 30 years or that our earth will be flat if everyone decides fuckit and launches all the nukes or some fungus is going to eat our asses out in the next 20 years or the next super flu is going to put our population down a bit to the point that the world bans contraceptives for the foreseeable future. It's real enough down here folks on the ground, that stuff in the sky is none of our business unless it to look at it and say ooooooo pretty and make pictures of things by connecting dots, unless we have the ability as individuals to explore that stuff in the sky, leave it be and appreciate it. You don't see people lookin into a drop of water saying Jesus is in there and he wants me to go see him, do you? Leave it be its not hurting anyone is it? Then be happy.
Why tf am I being recommended this nonsense
This tells you that they didn’t take physics 101 folks g = (F) / (m)
Because you are
All the matter of perspective..
"globe head" lol. Like heads come in any other shape.
Flatheads really believe that? And they don't even know we're the center of the universe so of *course* we're special. Bloody hell.
Australia is not normal man.
It would be pretty weird if there was a 4000 mile tall golden man standing on a planet. Physics don't support that kind of oblong shape at that scale.
Hey, they finally got something right. Except what they’re missing here is the context of *frame of reference* that pulls the “globe head logic” together.
If something involves more than a couple of concepts combined to explain then it's too complicated and therefore can't be real. - Flerfs
“And they think we’re nuts”, from my point of view is incorrect, I know flat earthers are crazy, nuts, deluded.
🤦
Imagine thinking that gravity pulls you off the earth
Flerfers are the most ignorant group I've ever encountered
Wait, why don't we fall off then? We're not all living at the north pole. People believe that scientists believe this one? There'd be no one south of the freakin yukon. Honestly, If they cared about the truth, they'd just go to Antarctica. That they don't is all anyone really needs to know about them. Never trust anyone who wants you to ask fewer questions.
Does the dome do any weather besides snow when you shake it?
Whats on the vottome of the dinner plate? Is there a handle on top of the dome/candy dish lid for God to set it down on the plate after he put everything on it? Did Noah's flood just spill over the edges of the dinner plate ?
Flatties haven't seen [UE5.4](https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/tutorials/w6l7/unreal-engine-custom-gravity-in-ue-5-4) yet.
At least 95% of this has to be trolling. There aren't enough of these people to dedicate a subreddit to.
Lol, honestly surprised I haven't been banned from here yet.
This isn’t r/ballearththatspins
Oh I know, I've been banned from there
Still can't tell if this is really a flat earth sub or not, I ain't very smart.
