Heres a good question. How flat are salt flats? Shouldn't they mimick the curvature of the earth? I am still perplexed by the flat canal experiemnets...

Dude, I have just told you that you can't see the curvature from ground level. SMH

Posts on conspiracy forums calling flat earth a psyop and cointel is cointel to prevent people looking into it for themselves

Metapixelatron

That's not why I posted it. I was just trying to show you that the curvature can only be seen from 10.6km, even on a 3D sphere object. I see a lot of people saying that the earth must be flat, just because they can't see the curves. The only way to see the curve is from a balloon, high flying airplane (assuming there is no fog) or space. You can't hide frm the truth, ladies and gentlemen.

DearClaudio

Even if correct what an annoying video. Why just call people idiots for questioning things? You are conveying your message through a floating megatronesque avatar... Don't take yourself too seriously.

Metapixelatron

"Don't take yourself too seriously" EXACTLY! Flat Earthers are taking this psyop too seriously. Do they know that the Flat Earth conspiracy theory started on 4Chan as a meme to make fun of tin foil hat wearers?

un1ty

What?!

Geocentric ideas and theories have been held since the time of Galileo if not prior. 4Chan juxtaposed it with idiots because it is idiotic.

DearClaudio

You should look into the history of flat earth. That isn't at all where this started. There have always been flat earthers and scientists who have been looking into this every since the Copernicus Principle became mainstream. Also, there are videos from amateur rockets showing what looks to be a flat horizon. I think it is at least interesting. To just attack them as idiots without at least looking into the matter fully is just silly.

Even people back in the medieval times didn't believe the earth was flat. Poor Source, but sums it up nicely . So yeah, flat-earthers ARE retarded and just like they push their views unto us, we might as well ridicule them for it and throw out facts.

DearClaudio

I can blabber on with no scientific fact or anything except opinion or how I want history to be. If you are going to send an article don't let it be the horrible newsweek.

Wuttier

In that case, let me grab a one that isn't a shitty source:

NASA Live Feed - Earth viewed from space, aboard the ISS

Faggot.

DearClaudio

Call me a faggot, then down vote me, then not reply. Makes sense. Good talk.

Wuttier

Talking with you is like playing chess with a pigeon; you'll only stomp around on the chessboard, knocking over pieces, and fly away happily, full of pride with yourself. You're defending flat-earth with false claims, attack a simple source I provided (of which I conceded was poor but its pretext has some merrit), don't provide counter-claims, then go on a tangent about NASA's Moon landing tape missing (this is another debate all together), plus an experiment of over 120 years ago which, I presume would be your point, would prove that the ISS Live-feed of Earth is CGI or light bending?

Yeah, I gave up on ya buddy. Hence, we have a downvoat button.

DearClaudio

Yeah watch a live stream of composites and cgi. I don't much trust NASA. It doesn't take much looking into them before red flags fly up everywhere. I mean just look at the moon landing. Things like http://www.reuters.com/article/us-nasa-tapes-idUSTRE56F5MK20090716 make at least question the money pit of NASA. Look Earth could be flat it could be round. The interesting thing is you can't even prove the earth is spinning. They have been trying for a long time. You should read some of the science and look at the experiments like the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson –Morley_experiment ... It is at least interesting and basing everything on they told me so is silly. You should know that or you wouldn't be on this sub forum.

flat earthers are metally ill, period.
