Anyone noticed this flash earth bs?

[Pandora]

I used to live on the Florida gulf coast near Tampa. I watched a lot of sunsets (some of them were free dates). I would sit and watch the last bit of the sun disappear under the horizon, then stand up, and I would see the sun again for just a second or two before it disappeared again.

The fact that you can see it again when you stand up is proof of the earth having no curvature. No curvature means it never "dips" below the horizon. It is still there. On a curved earth no matter if you stand up or not it would be below your field of view. If you watch a ship sail on the ocean until it disappers it really did not disappear. If you get a telescope or magnify the image the boat will still be there. Nothing ever dips below the horizon. They have lied about the shape of the earth. I know it sounds crazy but its not. Our brains just don't want to believe that we have been fooled so badly so we reject flat earth.

If the earth is flat, who lives on the other side? Or is it where heaven and hell exist? People that believe in this theory are spatially challenged and not bound by known scoentific reality.

Who knows what is on the other side. I don't know what that has to do with it being flat my brother. The claim is simple. The main flat earth assertion is that NO ONE has been able to demonstrate mathematically a curve. Until the globe people mathematically and empirically demonstrate a curve, it will be illogical to believe that there is a curve. The burden of proof is on the globe model people. If no one told you that the earth was a globe your senses would tell you that the earth was flat. So the burden of proof is on the people making the extraordinary claim of the earth being different than what we observe with our senses.

Reference of someone else for equinox perhaps. But star trails you can do on your

All you need to do is be at the North Pole or South Pole and see the stars spin over a 24 hour period. That proves we are on a spinning sphere. A child could do this and get it.

All the other experiments you could do on your own as well

You can not do this experiment at the north pole. You have to take their word for it. In fact the south pole is highly protected. You need special permission to go there. But an experiment you can do is to go up in a plane with a spirit level and see if you see the spirit level change. It does not. Pilots do not dip their nose down to compensate for the curvature of the earth.

Another experiment that YOU can do is to go out 3 miles on flat land. Maybe in the dessert. Have a laser and measure any type of curvature. You will find none.

It is very disturbing, but I believe they've been around for a long time. The difference is exposure, the contents of their corrupt minds are easier to see now than before. Before it took more resources to distribute information, because you needed broadcasting equipment or a printing press and a rational mind to use them properly. No serious business in mass media would tarnish their reputation by publishing such nonsense, so flat earthers were never heard from. Today the internet is available to pretty much anyone and it costs next to nothing to spread information to the entire world. The fact that their belief is so bizarre given the overwhelming evidence to the contrary makes people react to, talk about and share these views.

Just remember that the amount of attention a claim gets is not proportional to the amount of people seriously believing it. In fact I'd say it's a negative relationship, because people react a lot more to things that are rare and extreme. We don't give attention to things that are widely agreed upon and settled, we react to things that challenge what is agreed upon and settled.

I don't worry this will be a widespread belief. It's just a tiny group of people who gets a lot of attention because they have extreme convictions, but the attention mostly consists of ridicule (which is a calming thought).

If no one had told you in school that the earth was a globe, would you have thought it was a globe. No you would not. Some one had to indoctrinate you with that information. So why is it so difficult to believe that those same people could have been wrong. The authorities lied about college, marriage, 9-11, the Iraq War weapons of mass destruction, feminism, Iran Contra but they could not possible lie about the shape of the earth. That is cognitive dissonance. I don't mean this as disrespect. I am sure you are highly intelligent. I am just saying that to dismiss these people so easily is arrogant. So all of these people are just delusional weirdos? Even though authorities have been lying to us for decades?

No. Most Flat earthers are not saying they know what is on the other side bro. They are simply saying that the Catholic Church and Copernicus have never actually proven the curvature of the earth. It has never been observed. So it is logical to believe our senses that the earth is flat until proven otherwise. No one is saying we know what is on the other side.

Well, I've heard of flat earth, lol and believe it or not, there is some merit to their inquiry.

I mean we were lied to about just about everything else. That's how a lot of us ended up here.
.

Exactly!! This is what I don't understand. We at SoSuave know very well that the powers that be have lied and brainwashed us about everything from the true nature of females, to the true nature of society. This is how we ended up at SoSuave. But yet we laugh at people that take it one step further and say they have lied about even bigger more important things. That level of cognitive dissonance should not be present in a place like this. It is actually very disappointing. I hold people on this forum in high regard. Maybe I need to second guess my opinion of some of these people. Research every claim. No claim is too ridiculous to investigate. Once we think that we know ****, thats when we get in trouble. Again people laughed at people that thought 9-11 was bull**** too. Now just about everyone kinda knows that there was funny business going on. Think people.

The flat earth community is not crazy. They actually do have merit to their arguments. The curvature of the has never been proven mathematically. EVER. To this day. The curvature is a simple equation that says that the earth's horizon is supposed to curve 8 inches squared for every mile ( based on the circumference of the earth). It does not curve at all. Not matter the distance. There is no observable curve! Flat earth has 200 other proofs that the earth is not a globe. Its not hard to find.

What is disturbing is that Sosuave is supposed to be a corner of enlightened men. So it is disappointing when people make fun of claim without researching the evidence that the claim is presenting. No matter how crazy something sounds, you should research it. Especially when the people making the claim are giving you MATHEMATICAL, and empirical experiments that you can do on your own. Go out with a laser or binoculars and do some of these experiments.

We just blindly accept that the earth is a globe because our 3rd grade teacher told us. We have never ever done any experiments to prove it ourselves. We just take the authorities word for it. Most of you don't even know who came up this globe model. Aristotle started it and the Catholic Church promoted it. The Roman Catholic Church.
I guarantee you that if you research the flat earth you may not agree but you will respect them. You will never look at the globe model the same way again.

The people making fun of flat earth were the same people making fun of Iran Contra whistleblowers, 9-11 truthers and NSA wiretapping conspiracy theorist. ALL of those conspiracies were mocked but then they turned out to be right. True wisdom is when you know that you don't know ****. Arrogance and thinking you know the true nature of the world is going to keep you blind. This world is a hell of a lot more weird that we know. We don't know **** about reality.

Oh my god - we got a live one folks!

Ok I did a quick search on YouTube and I found this guy measuring earths curvature showing the calculations and observations and proving the math matches reality. The earth ain't flat pal.

You can not do this experiment at the north pole. You have to take their word for it. In fact the south pole is highly protected. You need special permission to go there. But an experiment you can do is to go up in a plane with a spirit level and see if you see the spirit level change. It does not. Pilots do not dip their nose down to compensate for the curvature of the earth.

Another experiment that YOU can do is to go out 3 miles on flat land. Maybe in the dessert. Have a laser and measure any type of curvature. You will find none.

look if you are flying a plane the amount you have to adjust the nose to keep altitude will not register to the human brain. It is a tiny tiny amount. Imagine you were driving round a circular race track 40,000 km in circumference. You would never consciously steer the car. You would be seemingly driving in a straight line along a seemingly straight road. Even if you were travelling at the speed of a plane.

And by the way. Level is perpendicular to the earths centre, it doesn't mean flat on a macro scale.

@Pandora The evidence of a spherical earth is a lot more abundant and convincing than for a flat one. This could be proved with mathematics and measurements long before we sent any rockets up to check. So yes, I totally dismiss their claim that the earth is flat. They prove they are incapable of understanding evidence, so I don't blindly trust a word coming out of their mouth.

When I say North Pole ima talking about the top of Russia and Greenland, not dead on the centre of North Pole as that would be impractical

ok thank you for this video. An open minded man should look at ALL evidence. There is no room for bias when you are searching for truth. I will watch it in the next couple days if I don't get to it tonight.
