Not sure if this thread is real or not.

If it is
TL;DR

But can one of you flat-earther's explain why people have needed to distort different areas of large maps
for.. the entirety of cartography. To account for the fact that we are placing a 3-d object on a 2-d surface ?

Btw. Your "Round in a Circle" pic from your last post doesn't count.
Talking about real maps here, my friend.

card claims that the distances that would be longer (i.e. australia to LA) are explainable by a conspiracy that pilots are in on to keep their jobs. so they fly faster than what they report as cruising speed to keep the conspiracy under wraps and consume more fuel than should be reported as well as a far faster speed that passangers don't feel all to cover up the true shape of the earth.

you have to boil down your arguments to VERY simple observable phenomena otherwise card hits the "its a conspiracy" button early and often.

only one local and it got molotov'd. top meme


Not surprising considering Australia only exists because England decided to throw out their trash.

Sounds like an insurance job, top kek.

whole conspiracy turns into a loose pussy when you realise millions of laypeople have to be clued in on it and be actively conspiring

oh how silly of you sir, when i correctly identified the millions of potential whistleblowers who would need to be involved he corrected me by telling me the hard facts that it would only take a few hundred or thousand, because reasons.

Please dont speak for me, evertime you open your mouth its full of dumb assumptions that come from that weak excuse for grey matter you think is a mind.
The answer is not that put their foot on the gas pedal and use more gas, they use the jet stream which is wind travelling at different speeds depending on elevation.

The simple fact that nearly all of the worlds governments would need to actually work together to hide a flat earth makes the probability of it being true about 0%.

lol sure. and i'll speak for you with your own words all i want idiot. you said what i paraphrased above, its not my fault you had to frantically google new buzzwords to explain things like "jetstreams" to cover your ass and i didn't see.

you still can't deal with the massive scope of the conspiracy and what it would require because you're biased to believe its real before you even logically examine it, cookoo cookoo.

Most business's that burn down are insurance jobs, and no one will be the wiser if you tip the fire chief ;)
