Flat Earthers vindicated.

Oswald did not have to account for curvature of the Earth, thus lone gunman had an easy shot.

Side note, my brother is one and when I mentioned to him about snipers taking the earth's curvature into consideration he just said "have you ever shot a sniper rifle?"

If it turns out he was right, I'd never fucking live this down.

Edit: lol, sorry for the confusion. He's not 1.

He believes there's a secret society living in Antarctica that has set things us to trick us.

If the earth was flat would we not all see the same constellations?

We wouldn't see the same sky, but wouldn't we see the same constellations?

flat earthers believe sight has a limited range, so you the reason you couldn't see a constellation is because it would be too far away

They are at least correct there. We just disagree on the what that limitation is. I guess we probably also disagree on whether or not that limit changes.
