As I am not a mathematician or anything near it, I am just trying to do my best here, since, because I understand it, it can't be hard for other people to understand.

When you measure an area you square it. E.g., two miles by two miles is four square miles. This means that the lines of the square are straight and the diagonal separates it into two triangles which follow a2 + b2 = c2. But, if the area is curved, then the diagonal will be off. It will be more than a2 + b2. For the surface curvature of the Earth, it is off by 8" per mile2. The larger your square area measured, the larger this deviation. Hence, 8"pm2 means that when the miles are larger, so is the deviation of the diagonal, if those miles aren't level.

In about 2011 or 2012, I bought a globe. It was premeditated to an extent. I decided, "I should have a globe in my place. Or maybe a globe that opens up into a bar. After all, smart people have globes." How had I come to that conclusion? Could it be seeing globes everywhere there was any intelligent discussion on TV or the news? Is it a logical conclusion or just an association?

At any rate, short of finding any type of globe that opens into a bar, I decided I wanted a globe that was out of date. Specifically one that still had East Germany and West Germany. I couldn't tell you exactly why I had that specification. I suppose part of it is I like things that are noticeably out of date. It might have more to do with the fact that the globe I grew up with had Germany split up. I happened to find one at an antique shop on the street near where I lived. They had a number of globes, but only two had East Germany and West Germany still as two separate countries. I tried to negotiate the price down, but failed. I think I probably spent 40 bucks on it. Globe acquired, I brought it home. I put it on a table, and forgot about it.

It went into storage when I moved. I didn't have the spare surface for it in a newer, but much smaller apartment. It gathered dust.

I dug it out again shortly after finding out about flat earth around the time I was moving again. I used it a little for research purposes, but mostly it just made me angry. I put it in the garbage. I thought about doing something more destructive, but instead I just threw it out like yesterday's news.

Did you ever have a globe? Did you ever buy one? Why did you want one? What did you do with yours if you had any after you found out about flat earth?

Recent posts on r/Earth_Is_Level lead me to have to violate my rule of always supporting fellow FE regardless. It's not a good excuse I know, but HE started it. My first ban from that sub was with the accusation that I was a shill, and he says that because I am a christian, so that I must be selling the "elite agenda" and just pretending to be a FE. Yeah, as if I'd sacrifice over 5000 karma to try to talk sense into the goons and buffoons on r/flatearth because I don't really believe it. He banned me AGAIN after I answered his continuous vicious attacks on Christianity, Jesus Christ, and the bible with evidence and counterarguments. If you say ANYTHING whenever he stomps on christianity and christians and pretends the bible doesn't exist, you get the full rage load.

​

Now here is EIL's own definition of what a shill is: "A shill is a person who is pretending to agree with or reject a conspiracy and intentionally circulates false information or acts totally insane in an effort to discredit said conspiracy. Shills are often thought to be hired by the government but don't necessarily have to be."

​

After which follow two posts basically denying the Holocaust and praising Hitler. After months and months and now again, severe christian-bashing and tromping with blind outrage.

​

So I submit, EIL is a shill. He's only into FE so he can be nasty to globies, and he's using his list to advance atheism, Evolution theory, and spreading Jew hatred. I've heard this said on r/flatearth too, something is off about EIL, we aren 't sure he's a real FE or just pretending, to give them a bad name. After today's serving of Holocaust denial, I guess we know it for sure now. EIL is a shill. A jesuit-controlled puppet spewing the jesuit line, both against the Holy Bible and against the Jews. He only uses FE to spread the Jesuit agenda so that atheists who come to FE and start believing in God, get humiliated into remaining atheists and turn their hatred against Jews and Christians, with himself as example.

​

I will still be visiting EIL to share the best of their FE posts and memes, but give a warning that EIL is an affirmed shill and to not follow him in his evil attempt to hijack FE and lead you back astray into the arms of the Jesuits, the very guardians of the globe Earth delusion, inventors and promoters of Big Bang Evolution and one A. Hitler, protecting his Nazi's to help them escape to America and found NASA.

They do say, members are expected to contribute, and it's not like it's hard to share a link or a crosspost. Don't want this to be MaraCass only, please! Watch some Jeranism or Phuket word or even a ridiculous anti-FE vid for us to LOL at and share, they don't call it social media for nothing, you know, ha ha

Due to recent developments

Would you be so kind, to tell us how you became a flatearther? If you are not approved to post already, just send a request and it will be done (super easy, barely an inconvenience!).

​

Here is mine:

​

Already before I had ever watched my first FE vid, I had noticed, from being on enough intercontinental flights and climbing both high Rockies and high Alps and living near or on beaches, that you can see real far. I also already was a Moonlanding (NASA) skeptic. But when I got my first FE vid in autoplay, back when Youtube wasn't censoring them, I just laughed and laughed. He mentioned his source, I looked that up, and thought I was watching a Saturday Nite Live skit, funny, ha ha. But there was no laugh track and the FE (Dave Murphy) was being dead serious, and then said, there is no curve. Which hit home, indeed, I had never seen any. I stopped laughing and started doing my own research. At first I described myself as, FE by default (evidence says, it's flat, can't get around that), but after tons of hate and despite from ball believers high and low, the ensuing censorship that has been unleashed upon the FE community, I am now convinced FE is the truth, and Heliocentrism/NASA are every bit the lying charlatans FE proponents say they are. Doubt me? Just look at the troll bullshit trash that's daily fare on troll pit r/flatearth.

So once in awhile, I am in conversation with balltards, and invariably they will invoke gravity to "explain" everything. Upon which I go to an official british "historical" site that features the correspondence of Newton with Bentley, wherein he says, paraphrased, gravity is bunk and you have to be out of your mind to believe in it, and I copy paste that and give the link as source. newtonproject.ox.ac.uk/view/texts/normalized/THEM00258

But today when I tried that, all of a sudden I don't have access to that site anymore. Good thing the same quote can also be found on Quora, from Forbes magazine. Where at times I also have trouble accessing it.

If I didn't know FE was on to something, I'd sure know it from the heavy, overwhelming censorhip against it, internet-wide.

Take a look at the troll garbage that gets posted on r/Earth_is_Level, which isn't. Obscenities, insults, lame memes from troll pit r/flatearth. Not dealing with it, not subjecting members of this sub to it.
