What the world has come to...

Tunnelcat wrote: Wed May 17, 2023 3:08 pm Burlyman's forgetting that Fox News KNEW they were reporting outright lies and continued to do in violation of any journalism ethics, all to appease their MAGA base and keep the profits rolling in. Internal emails revealed all their dirty secrets thanks to Dominion and their lawsuit. The other mainstream network news outlets rake in their cash from Big Pharma ads, so I refuse to watch what they peddle as well.
Tunnelcat is forgetting that on 9/11 every news agency reported the same thing about their psychotic friends and their own psychopathy and blamed everything on Osama bin Lyin’, one of their own agents, and it’s very easy to disprove the official narrative just like it’s easy to disprove ball earth. Try a laser test. Do something! Lol… don’t just say Satan’s math scheme about a ball is the truth. That part is kinda off topic, but yeah, some people don’t even know that a rogue group within the United States and fake Zionist “Israel” are responsible. (NOT Jewish people) There’s a difference between people who think they are Jewish, the people who were the Israelites in the Bible, and those who say they are Jews but lie (like in the book of Revelation).

Holy ★■◆●.

Neo's gone and become one of those people.

"ball earth"? "osama bin lyin"? "zionist"?

I had to log out to see that because I was curious about what Top Gun saw. I wish I hadn't. Absolutely ★■◆●ing batshit. It's a damn all-you-can-eat buffet of conspiracy theory nonsense.

The earth IS NOT ★■◆●ing FLAT, DUMBASS!


See this photo? It's rouund. Opposite of flat.

Idiocracy got two things wrong - the rate of how quickly people became too dumb for their own good, and the social media algorithm - the cause of how quick the downfall of intelligence was. Now we have to deal with idiots like neo who believe in a completely alternate reality including flat earth and fanatics like Woody who want to see people like Krom and I shot dead because we don't worship their false gods.

I only believe in a cone earth

The real question is, what's under the cone? Is it a flat side or is the cone open, revealing an under-world cone, or a backface-culling-world, or an inverted cone world?

Silly Isaac. Everyone knows the earth is shaped like a pyramid. That's why the Egyptians built all their pyramids, as a monument to the earth. When you stand at the north pole, you can see all the way to Andromeda.

I believe Ferno is just another person who lacks evidence (like I did) and information/knowledge of the subject (and there's a lot of it).

Another flat earth thread. haha. Wanna make someone mad? Talk about flat earth or Christianity (no, I didn't say religion). Pick one.

Around 370 B. C. Aristotle proved the earth was a globe.
In 240 B.C. Eratosthenes managed to measure the circumference of the globe with remarkable accuracy considering the primitive tools he had available.

But you don't trust old dead guys. So lets go for evidence you can check with your own eyes.

Lunar Eclipses prove that the earth is a globe. There is no other explanation for the shape of the shadow of the earth on the moon.
Foucault's pendulum proves that the earth is rotating. There is no other satisfactory explanation for why the pendulum changes direction the way it does.
The fact that different constellations are visible as you move north or south proves that the earth is a globe. If the earth were flat, Australia would see the same constellations in the sky that Montana does.

But seriously, lets even skip the scientific evidence, and lets just go with Occam's razor. If the earth is flat, then there has to be a VAST conspiracy to say otherwise.
Every astronaut has to be in on it, and a liar. That's over 600 people.
Everyone who works at NASA has to be in on it, and keeping the secret. That's 18,000 people RIGHT NOW. But we have to expand that list to include anyone who has EVER worked at NASA, so the number is going to be a LOT bigger than that.
Plus we have to extend that number to include people who work at the space agencies in Europe, China, Russia, India, and the rest of the world.
Every pilot who flies planes internationally has to be in on it. I have no idea how many of them there are, but it's a lot.
What about the shipping industry? The people who boat around the world also all have to be in on this conspiracy and lying to everyone.

It's hard to keep a secret if two people know it. The flat earth theory requires HUGE numbers of people who are lying to maintain this illusion. It's just not reasonable to believe that would work.

And all for what? What do they GAIN by convincing everyone the earth isn't flat? What is so important that it is worth lying to your friends, your family, and EVERYONE?

I'm not going to prove anything because you should all be doing your own research and finding out for yourself the right answer. I already gave you an example of something you can try.

So does that mean nobody's trying? Or does it mean God is in control?

"Do your own research" is conspiracy theorist speak for "Go read sources that agree with me because I'm too lazy to make an actual argument".

I've seen flat earthers before who would actually try to defend their positions in long forum threads. This guy isn't even trying at all.

Not to mention the armed soldiers and crew of all of the battleships constantly guarding the 70,000+ mile long Antarctic coastline to make sure that no one approaches it (yes, they seriously believe this).

Kepler's Third Law (Law of Harmonics):
T² ∝ a³


`F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²`
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects (the Sun and the cone), and r is the distance between the two objects.

This force provides the centripetal force that keeps the object moving in a circular (or elliptical) path, which is given by:

`F = m * v² / r`
where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed, and r is the radius of the circle. Equating these two expressions and solving for v, we get:

`v = sqrt((G * M_sun) / r)`

where M_sun is the mass of the Sun.

What happens when people debate something like this? It takes forever and almost nobody (if any) are convinced. Instead of four (or however many >_>) pages it would be 20 pages long and turn into a flame war.

Ferno, why would you just show one photograph as evidence without even knowing anything about it? It also doesn't match the dimensions of the moon and the ball earth and the distances don't match up with NASA's moon fly-by orbiting earth. It looks like someone was thinking too much about the moon over the earth and just reversed it, something I didn't think of until recently when I started getting into flat earth.

You can't fix stupid. People will believe what they want. Read an article last year about how people were not trusting the Covid vaccines. It was because at some point in their life Science failed them. I had an ex boss lose his well paid Gov't job because he refused to get vaccinated. He didn't believe we could create a vaccine so fast. He failed to understand that the vaccine was pretty much already done since Covid 2 back in 2003.

That's not very nice of you to call me stupid. I expected you to be more mature but I guess I was wrong.

  • Facts:
    • Moon is made of cheese:
      • Cheese comes in wheels:
        • Wheels are disks:
          • Disks are flat:
            • Therefore the moon is flat disk
Also, the sun is flat: Ever hear of the surface of the sun? Surfaces are flat, therefore the sun is flat.

I've spoken to many flat earthers, and in general I would not characterize them as stupid, but rather deluded. The appeal of believing in conspiracy theories is feeling like you are one of the few 'enlightened' people who know the secret truth that the masses don't, and that the powers that be are suppressing. The more outrageous and implausible the conspiracy, the more special they feel for believing in it. A lot of them also have religious motivations (even though, ironically, Eric Dubay, who is effectively the founder of the modern flat earth movement, is actually an anti-theist who hates Christianity).

I've also heard some people espouse a competing conspiracy theory - most, if not all, of the modern flat earthers are actually atheist trolls trying to make Christians look ridiculous. I recall one guy who actually did a thorough amount of research on early Christian theology and the writings of the church fathers in the first few centuries AD who helped compile the Bible as we know it today, and showed a lot of evidence that demonstrated, fairly convincingly, that none of them believed the Earth was flat. His conclusion, though, went off the rails into 'therefore, no real Christian believes in a flat earth, so it's an atheist conspiracy to discredit Christians and creationism'.

All you'll end up doing is hurting yourself from repeatedly banging your head on your desk.
