I dropped my toast. Gravity is bullshit cause it flipped and fell on peanut butter side.

This experience proves WITHOUT A DOUBT flat earth

Not my job to disprove.


thanks for removing yourself from any form of intellectual responsibility

If somebody is convinced by strings of evidence that they deem worthy, what is their authority?
Are you lying? What distinguishes flat earthers from globe earthers, such that those who believe in the globe earth are liars?

If I whole heartedly believe something, regardless of it's "truth" (if there is such a thing), just as you seem to believe the Earth is flat, this question follows:
We disagree, what makes me the liar?


using hypocritical logic doesn't make one a liar, but all liars use hypocritical logic

You lie when you claim to see curvature but yet you know water always seeks its level and is completely flat.
You lie when you watch a helium filled balloon float upwards but claim "gravity" is real and is pushing objects to the center of earth.
You lie when you go outside each night and see the same constellations in the sky but claim the earth is spinning 1k mph and orbiting the sun at 66k mph while simultaneously hurtling through space at 450k mph.

just for starters...


There is curvature on bodies of water, consistant with the curvature of the planet. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Level_experiment

Helium balloons are pulled by gravity, as are all objects with mass. The reason they don't fall is that there is another force acting on them, a buoyant force from air pressure that is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. Since that force is greater than gravity, it floats upwards. Even though you're an airhead, you're still denser and gravity is stronger, so you can't float.

Constellations in the sky move, though you can't even begin to comprehend what that implies for such distances. Interestingly, you can't see the same constellations in the sky depending where you are on Earth.

Got any more questions?

Atmospheric refraction - so light is bendy right - so i guess that wipes out Erostophes assuming all light was parallel - goodbye Ancient GReek excuse.

And after correcting for spherical aberration from the use of wide angle lenses, Flat Earthers prove that all of Nasa and anyone pictures of supposed ball Earth are a fraud, checkmate Globlings.

So can you explain why a wide angle lense does not curve the horizon like an adult instead of screaming about your feelings being hurt?
Can someone tell me why telling ball earther we dont live on as ball is the same as telling Christians there probably wasn't any Christ, very similar aren't they - thats odd right?

A fisheye lens would only make a curve appear flatter if it’s in the center of the image.

Prove what you’re saying instead of rambling about religion.

That's actually super simple.

Tahiti: 17.6509° S, 149.4260° W
Punta Arenas: 53.1638° S, 70.9171° W

These are reference points in relation to the north pole, a point that is the same on both the globe and flat Earth. Distances from the north pole are not under contention by either globe Earth or flat Earth proponents. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart.

Now enters the math.

Tahiti is 107.6509° south of the north pole, times 69 miles per degree = 7428 miles away from the north pole.
Punta Arenas is 143.1638° south of the north pole, times 69 miles per degree = 9878 miles away from the north pole.

They are 78.5° apart.

With 3 known parts of a triangle, we can use trigonometry, or in your case a triangle calculator like found here: http://www.calculator.net/triangle-calculator.html

So we can enter our known values, values which are undeniable, regardless of the shape of the Earth, and find out how far apart the two points on the map are.

If the Earth is flat, the two points MUST be 11,112 miles apart. Because math.
If the Earth is not flat, the calculation is useless for application over a globular surface.

You obviously contend that the flight you quoted was made. It was made by an aircraft with a normal operating range of 1,250 miles (on a 90 gallon fuel tank), that was modified to carry 361 gallons of fuel. Disregarding the fact that the weight of the extra fuel would at least somewhat shorten the range of the aircraft, and instead giving you every benefit of the doubt, we can say that the modified aircraft has a range 4 times the unmodified one (361/90 = ~4). 4x the range of 1,250 miles = 5,000 mile range. Again because math. So what we have is a flight you yourself have admitted occurred, by an aircraft that doesn't have the range to make that flight IF THE EARTH IS FLAT AS YOU CONTEND.

This is a purely mathematical refutation that the Earth is flat, by data points that are not in contention by you. In the field of logic, we have what is known as reductio ad absurdum. It is impossible. Flat Earth is disproven.
