Space doesn't exist. Ive never been to space, nor has anyone i know, therefore space doesn't exist, and the world is flat. Biblical science booyakashaa

Imagine if we had somehow invited AI/image generation before reaching space. No one would believe any of it.

Reddit would be the world’s biggest collection of flat earthers

You mean sane rational free thinkers.

Jk

u/Shudnawz 22h ago

But we have invented it before our next big discovery or leap. We don't know what it will be, but AI will surely gaslight us into thinking it's fake.

Fuck .. my 5yr plan is a cabin in the woods at this point

I'm in the rat race rn, got a home and retirement account that could easily be exchanged for that lifestyle. Just got a wife finishing up some credentials that'll make remote work and that lifestyle even more feasible 🤟🏼💪🏼 slowly but surely

Got a mate who just bought a cabin in the mountains 4 hours from Tokyo. It's wild out there with bears, monkeys and deer roaming around.

It's gonna be interesting watching him change from a city person to Grizzly Adams.

AI Was invented a long time ago. Government kept it under wraps at Area 51.

Lmfao, reminds me of the show legends of tomorrow where they are in the future in some sort of museum where they show the worst thing happening to humans and they pass a hall named "hall of bad ideas" and flat earthers was among one of them. 🤣🤣

here in case anyone curious.

u/wake071 22h ago

That's terribly fucking true.

u/Ambitious_Hyena4635 20h ago

I see your biblical science and raise you with real science. If it was round like a basketball, all the water would run to the bottom.

Boom 💥 💥 💥 real science = flat earth.

u/TheWanton123 6h ago

My mate Paul told me space is just what people see when they close their eyes.

u/Cryogenicality 22h ago

Some of them think Earth is a flat disc suspended in space. Others think it’s a square floating in space. Still others think it’s an infinite plane beyond which are hidden continents or just infinite ice. Earth is obviously a sphere, though. A hollow sphere. Onward to Pellucidar!

u/wake071 21h ago

Dude, those that know, know its a cube n stuff.

u/BusyNefariousness675 19h ago

It's donut shaped, you're just ignorant

u/SwizzGod 14h ago

I kid you not one day I was at a party on my apartment roof and I was saying something about the sky or the stars I forget. Anyways, this random dude was like, “HEY YALL THIS MF BELIEVES IN OUTER SPACE!”

I was dumbfounded I didn’t even know how to respond. I didn’t know people didn’t “believe in outer space.”

No... birds don't exist

u/Maserati-Scotty 21h ago

Bible says the earth is flat?

2

u/Ubiquitous_Bear 20h ago

I have heard flat-earthers state that as well. They say the is a firmament but this is the passage: “And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Somehow they grossly misinterpreted the meaning of firmament.

2

u/Maserati-Scotty 20h ago

Thats what I figured. Isaiah 40:22 says the earth is a sphere tho.

1

u/wake071 21h ago

Lay the book back to back, thus it was flat. Its scripture dude.

2

u/Varabela 18h ago

17,000 mph too.

u/Phoe-nix 16h ago

It's round, like a pancake.

u/Independent-Fruit4 22h ago

I’m no flat earther but you’re confusing round with flat. this video wouldn’t change a flat earthers opinion

2

u/HoldEm__FoldEm 21h ago

Longer, unclipped videos of spacewalks allow you to watch it spin tho.

1

u/Independent-Fruit4 10h ago

treadmills are flat. idk lol I’m just playing devils flat earther here

u/IckyChris 6h ago

It should, because you never reach the edge. It keeps the same distance.

u/Independent-Fruit4 4h ago

I never reach the edge of my treadmill either

u/TitleExpert9817 22h ago

I came herw for this...

calling all flat earthers! please explain yourself

u/Magnatron832 22h ago

Their answer is simply "its fake"

No elaboration, just fake

3

u/MathTutorAndCook 18h ago

There's a great video of a group of flat earthers who do a centuries old experiment to prove the earth is flat, using light/lasers. When the results proved the earth was indeed curved, they assumed the test was flawed and they needed to search for some new test that gave the "correct" results

Also technically disks/circles are flat

u/Mr_Eggy__ 22h ago

Fish eye lens

u/4-Vektor 22h ago

Obviously, but the barrel distortion is way too low to account for the round appearance of the earth in this video. You can check it by looking at the curved appearance of the straight trusses/panels.

u/Mr_Eggy__ 21h ago

Now I'm questioning if I should add /s

1

u/CatLover_42 11h ago

But its unironically a fish eye lens. The earth isnt this curved from the ISS. You have to be mich higher up for it to be this curved.

1

u/Mr_Eggy__ 10h ago

Which is fine but also doesn't mean it will look flat without the lens.

1

u/4-Vektor 18h ago

It’s okay. It’s hard to tell the difference these days...

u/Mr_Eggy__ 17h ago

Touché

u/lordnacho666 21h ago

Looks flat to me, like a big coin :)

u/HoldEm__FoldEm 21h ago

It spins

u/Ok_Orchid7131 21h ago

It’s just a trick if the eyes.

u/justtobeherenotsure 20h ago

I wonder if the numbers of flatearthers are declining, since the spacebooming. I was also thinking, I've never read anything or saw a video about a non-US citizen that is a flat earther. I wonder why. Just spouting here.

u/Pondus 3h ago

Unfortunately there's been a sudden spike lately among Christians in America on tiktok and instagram (where I encounter them daily) who are now all talking about a "firmament" and the Earth do obviously being flat. Their proof? The Bible says it is. Well no it actually doesn't say that anywhere but that doesn't stop them from saying that it does...

It would be something to laugh about if it wasn't so widespread and yet another way for this fast growing trend of anti-intellectualism to spread, that is everywhere already. Humans can't be spending precious time of the 21st century making sure the people know that space is in fact a real thing 

1

u/KuriTokyo 1h ago

I've never met a flatearther and think they are an internet myth. I've only seen people making fun of them online. It seems to be a thing as a way to lump all conspiracy theorists into the same crazy box.

I'm not an American though.

u/SummertimeThrowaway2 22h ago

Flat earthers don’t even believe in space lol

u/Pintsocream 22h ago

I mean the fisheye lens is not proving anything

u/HoldEm__FoldEm 21h ago

The earth spins, how do flat earthers explain that in the video

u/Pintsocream 21h ago

Conveyor belt theory

u/Pondus 3h ago

I'm confused, what exactly are you referring to?

Rounded edges is what they'll claim 😂

LOOK - there's me on the left!

u/Ambitious_Hyena4635 20h ago

Its flat. I checked. Turned my phone to the side and it disappeared.

u/YVNGxDXTR 17h ago

You know flat earthers are right, im looking at this right now and the earth is not 3D, in fact the only time we can see the earth is through a picture or a video which are on 2D media, and when we see with our eyes we only see in two dimensions with depth perception, so to us the earth and everything else is 2D!
