Oh, the fun of keeping the fuckwits alive. I know what you're talking about all right.
But then, in comparison to someone out there I am surely one of the fuckwits myself.

sorry theres no map here

are you telling our planet is flat but you dont have any map ???

You have to actually look into the images, read the references and understand the rhetoric, a task that just might be insurmountable for you

ty awesome little video destroying flat eaters :=)

That vsauce video is a complete joke, it the first video people use to defend the ball earth but most learn quickly how bad it is.

Hold on for one second is one of your arguments seriously that online games are based on a flat plane? Are you kidding me? Have you ever coded anything in your entire life or done a single problem in multiple dimensions?

I'm so absolutely confused by your stance because your junmping from defense to defense.

Please describe to me one time in full what you believe, and how exactly then gravity and mathematics work in this reality because I'm not even to the point of trying to contradict you because I have yet to hear what you even think because your so busy just saying what we believe is incorrect. Maybe, but let's hear your theory in full then I'll criticize if needed.

Edit:
tpot thank you for posting that video I watched it and found it very informative on the topic and what the theory actually is.

No online multiplayer game use spherical geometry and are all based on a flat plane, I've seen one that tried and it made it so obvious that we dont live on a spinning ball it was a joke.

...and railroad tracks aren't parallel either, they join together in the distance. You're so totally onto something, bruh.

Of course they are parallel, they only optically appear to converge because of perspective - you do understand the difference between optics and reality dont you - i dont think so.

Your sarcasm detector is broken.

Not only are train tracks parallel, the sun's light rays at Earth are too.

oh it's not even defending that much the "ball" earth like you are saying...
It's very reasonable, even at the end it tries to give explanation or reasons to invent a flat earth...

I link it to you again, in hope you got true arguments against it (wich i doubt)

im sure you love this video

have nice flatulences

Its just very sad.

Sorry, the y axis does not converge like the x axis does , do we see light poles and tall building in the distance converging - no - wonder why that is?

The y axis doesn't converge, and your lack of understanding of the 3 axis in 3d perspective beyond epic.

That might explain why you got an f in Art class because of pictures like this:

Actually, tall buildings do converge. They just aren't tall enough to make it obvious visually to the naked eye. Take any image of a tall, rectangular building, and there will be a difference in width between the base and the top. Example:

I copied that image to paint and then moved the bottom and the top of the building together to make the difference more obvious.
