My number one question for flat earthtards is why would every government in the entire world spend billons making sure (1/2)
(2/2) the secret that the earth is flat? Why would it have to be a secret? And why the other planets are spheres but not earth?
[deleted]
OK first, why would Earth have to be a planet? "Planets" were, by definition, "celestial bodies that move weird", and "Earth doesn't move"
(This reasoning made sense before it was found out that Earth was in fact just one more planet, round, rotating, and orbiting the Sun)
MadMupp
Wouldnt be cheaper and faster to have a scientist travel with the head people of the flat Earth society, conducting all the experiments
FistingWithJalapenoDoritoFingers
Flat earthers don't trust scientists, they think they're all paid off by nasa to keep their mouths shut and destroy any evidence
To show the Earth isnt flat? And after theyre struggling for excuses take them up in one of those US spy planes & show them the curve?
BlankMage
The problem then becomes "of course it's curved, it's a disc".
Step 1: put all flat earthers on board of a spaceship. Step 2: make spaceship take off, showing round Earth. Step 3: don't get them back.

ah i was reading that praying youd mention step 3 lol

The edge, according to the official stance of the Flat Earth Society, is a 100mile tall ice wall called Antarctica. This show would serve

I honestly believe that’s how religion started. Some dude called Jesus and his mates were drunk and he was like “YOOOO IM WALKING ON WATER”

One episode. 2 miles into Antarctica, stopped by the UN military. end of show.

kuba913
flat earthers* i jave no respect for them
Revelant
Doesn't mean he will get stopped. Unless you say hes looking to get stopped then hes not a flat earther.
They think the military stop people from seeing the truth (the edge) through military force. So yes they expect to be stopped by the gov’t.
Sounds more like they want to be stopped.
BendOverAndIllShowYa
Stop talking about flat earthers. They’re not real people. Treat them like they have a disability. Don’t pander to them.
AngelGiuffriaCyborg

Anti-vaxxers too... They aren't rebellious, they're simply retarded. Give them a helmet and send them on their way.
Exactly. That’s the danger in spreading their message because it causes damage to public psyche and discourse. Well said my man.
OlderTrackSaint
For some people it's just a bit of harmless idiocy. At best entertaining and at worst... Well idk
See comment below about anti-vaxxers. It dangerous to give a platform to lunacy as though flat earthers have a legitimate argument.

Am I the only one who has never actually claimed to be a flat earther??

As wrong as someone may be, dehumanizing them is a disturbingly popular strategy.
I’m not dehumanizing. Im saying there is no basis for their belief and as such they have a disease/disorder and we should treat them as such
FatBastardVegetarian
I think we should call them "Curmudgeons". They don't believe the earth is flat. They're just argumentative misanthropes.

Wow, that is... It's probably weird to talk to him about stuff?
Yeah absolutely. I was having a conversation with someone about dinosaurs, and he chimes in laughing saying they aren’t real...
He doesn’t get that there’s a difference between questioning everything, and flat out not believing everything.

SuperSMT
They think the world is shaped like the UN logo https://imgur.com/EwDTU1y with antarctica around the outside
That's really clear, thanks. I wonder how they account for the distortion compared to actual measurements.
I think the idea is that it's a disc, and all around the outside is ice wall.
I just don't get how they think you can fly east from US to China, then again east from China to the US. That would be a cylinder.
RaynWisp
If you're familiar with the concept of "the firmament" you've pretty much grasped flat-earther logic.

I thought patrol boats, but thats a fuck ton of people, so many that it wouldnt be a conspiracy after a while.
But you assume that the boats are manned
SkiMaskThePlumpGod
isn’t there a mathematical hypothesis that conspiracies like that are impossible due to the sheer number of people to keep their mouths shut
Thecogwheel
At 16 400 miles to encircle Antarctica by sea, if you had one patrol boat every two miles that's 8 200 patrol boats 1/2
Droobilicious
I may be wrong but I think they believe Antarctica to encircle the whole world which would make the circumfrence much bigger than we know it
At 21 people per ship that's 172 200 people on the ground that know about it but have no reason to keep it a secret. Just patrol BTW not
Counting any extra fire power needed or other needs a conspiracy like this needs - like buying out the every scientist
Corona688
Last I heard flat earthers still believed in RADAR, so make that every 50 miles.
calcifear
They think Antarctica is the edge, all the way around, with a giant "wall" of ice. Not that any oceans extend to the edge.
Where do they think the east/west split is? Through the Pacific Ocean or Atlantic? And do they know there are flights across both?
There is no east west split. Earth is a disk centered around the northpole
You should watch some of their videos - It's bullshit, ofc but it's fun to see how they rationalize it.
tonksl
Late at night and over tired i made that mistake snd honestly about 3 hours later i started questioning things.

Flight paths are one of the reasons that prove flat earth. Good stuff on YouTube when you’re killing time on a business trip.

Surely you could resolve it by sailing around Antarctica once. How far is it? Is the circumference long enough to encompass everything else?

No sensationalism or bias from the news. You can see for yourself the opinions on Twitter. You don't HAVE to get your info second hand.

One episode. 2 miles into Antarctica, stopped by the UN military. end of show.

As funny as that would be, that would only make them more paranoid. Just fly them over the South Pole and be done with it.

The "UN military" is made of troops from member countries, and they're not in Antarctica.
atrielienz
The UN has a military?
NotAHugeSpider
Nope. Even the UN stays away after the Miskatonic University professor William Dyer's expedition failed.

He’s a flat earther. They believe that the edge is protected by the military and you will be stopped/shot if you get too close.

"Flat Earthers" "believe" "protected" "and"

flat earthers* i jave no respect for them
Revelant
Doesn't mean he will get stopped. Unless you say hes looking to get stopped then hes not a flat earther.
mclewis13
They think the military stop people from seeing the truth (the edge) through military force. So yes they expect to be stopped by the gov’t.
Revelant
Sounds more like they want to be stopped.

Stop talking about flat earthers. They’re not real people. Treat them like they have a disability. Don’t pander to them.

You think that's gonna work? Most of the people on earth are either Christian or Muslim, and they refuse to understand they're second-class

Anti-vaxxers too... They aren't rebellious, they're simply retarded. Give them a helmet and send them on their way.

I’m not dehumanizing. Im saying there is no basis for their belief and as such they have a disease/disorder and we should treat them as such

I think the idea is that it's a disc, and all around the outside is ice wall.

I just don't get how they think you can fly east from US to China, then again east from China to the US. That would be a cylinder.

I thought patrol boats, but thats a fuck ton of people, so many that it wouldnt be a conspiracy after a while.
Irreal
But you assume that the boats are manned
SkiMaskThePlumpGod
isn’t there a mathematical hypothesis that conspiracies like that are impossible due to the sheer number of people to keep their mouths shut
Thecogwheel
At 16 400 miles to encircle Antarctica by sea, if you had one patrol boat every two miles that's 8 200 patrol boats 1/2
Droobilicious
I may be wrong but I think they believe Antarctica to encircle the whole world which would make the circumfrence much bigger than we know it
Thecogwheel
At 21 people per ship that's 172 200 people on the ground that know about it but have no reason to keep it a secret. Just patrol BTW not
Thecogwheel
Counting any extra fire power needed or other needs a conspiracy like this needs - like buying out the every scientist
Corona688
Last I heard flat earthers still believed in RADAR, so make that every 50 miles.
calcifear
They think Antarctica is the edge, all the way around, with a giant "wall" of ice. Not that any oceans extend to the edge.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Where do they think the east/west split is? Through the Pacific Ocean or Atlantic? And do they know there are flights across both?
Irreal
There is no east west split. Earth is a disk centered around the northpole

You should watch some of their videos - It's bullshit, ofc but it's fun to see how they rationalize it.
