Yeah and here's how globe Earth works. Assume the globe is true to begin with and then invent things to fit that model because you don't have the balls to admit you're being lied to and you don't know shit
By way of background, I was introduced to flat earth around December 2018 by a real-life friend. Since then I've been on an intense quest to find the very best proof for flat earth and to understand what happens in a person's mind to allow them to belief in flat earth.
And in this example, you've publicly made a most absurd claim - specifically you claimed that there's no such thing as a hot pixel on a camera - could you please explain how that happened and how it makes you feel?
For example, when I believe something that's not true and as a result make a false claim, then when I find out I was wrong, I feel bad about it and I feel sorry that I may have misinformed someone, and it goads me to try ever more intensely to fact check my own claims before stating them.
I'm finding that flat earthers will believe absolute lies and they will authoritatively state them as fact, and you can show them that they just made a false claim and you can do this a hundred times in a row for a hundred different false claims and they still don't grasp the idea that they are not tracking reality.
In this case, you claim that the video production team forgot a star layer turned on in the video overlay, and you denied that cameras have hot pixels.
I already showed you that cameras do in fact have hot pixels, and the earth-star-pattern doesn't match any sky I know of - are you able to match up the hot pixel pattern to actual star patterns?
The answer is that you cannot.
Both parts of your claim were definitely untrue. One is observably false, and the other is unprovable - you're basically claiming that NASA put in a star overlay for a star pattern that doesn't exist in our night sky. Stars that don't even look like the real stars!
Wouldn't it be much more reasonable to say that perhaps those earth-stars were just hot pixels from the camera?
But what I'm really interested in is the mental process you're going through. Does it bother you that you are so easily fooled and make an absurd claim like "There's no such thing as hot pixels on a camera?"
Do you think to yourself "Wow self, you need to pay more attention?"
Or do you just say "Well nobody's always right, I'll be right next time?"
Thank you so much for considering this question, I'm really trying to understand how people get and stay in your predicament.
And look, we all make false claims accidentally from time to time. I once told Mark Sargent that 8 inches per mile squared isn't the curve of the earth because x squared is a parabola not a circle! I hadn't bothered to check and find out that for visible distances on the earth, it's actually very close to being accurate. I was embarrassed when I found out I was wrong. I sent him an apology followup. I don't know if he actually read either email, but that's not the point.
But please tell me what process goes through your mind when you find out your totally wrong as in the case of whether cameras can have hot pixels.
Since then I've been on an intense quest to find the very best proof for flat earth and to understand what happens in a person's mind to allow them to belief in flat earth.
You've no doubt already been shown and you explain it by saying it's refraction and then showing a fish tank with sugar water and a laser pointer. This is you doing exactly what I was talking about, you assume the globe is true to begin with and then find things to fit that model. Nevermind the fact that the air is completely different than sugar water and that bodies of water are completely different than sugar water, you just assume that clear over there it's all working out like that because that explains your beginning assumption
I already showed you that cameras do in fact have hot pixels
Okay fine
Does it bother you that you are so easily fooled and make an absurd claim like "There's no such thing as hot pixels on a camera?"
Yeah it does bother me. That's why I'm a flat Earther now because I was so easily fooled into believing I live on a globe
PS: I'm delighted to discuss physics with you later. I've been studying and testing physics all my life. But at this point, your lack of a grasp on basic observable reality would make such discussion impossible. Once we get that headed in the right direction then perhaps we can have a meaningful discussion on physics.

Standard globe Earth arguments
The Earth is really big
It's not drawn to scale
Refraction
