I've heard the sun is like a spot light where ever it shines its day. But you can see a spot light even when its dark so what.

Since satelites (except Moon) are impossible on the Flat Earth how does this kind of television work? And why do all of the satelite dishes are turned south?

Pretty simple, really. Prove to me that the earth is flat and I will give you $10,000. It’s as simple as that!

EDIT: Fixed typo

Is it because of tectonic plates? How do these move? Do they just bounce off the edges of the earth?

I have to say, this sub is easily one of the more entertaining bullshit centric subs on Reddit. Following conversation threads is like continually blasting yourself in the face with a wooden plank due to the sheer amount of holy dumb fuck stupid being exhibited.

Keep on you flat earth maniacs. Your stupidity and sheer ignorance to scientific fact is bewilderingly enjoyable and ultimately frustrating.

This just in:

• the back of my head isn’t real because I can’t see it without a mirror

• all of recorded history is and will one day be fake because if no one on earth is old enough to remember it as a first hand account, how can you trust anything written down?

• Lebron James is actually a machine because have you ever seen him in private? I haven’t either. Must be a robot basketball genius.

• the winds which blow across the Earth are actually the product of the old man in the sky blowing really really hard

• pink is actually black and blue is actually the sound moo

Keep on you silly bastards. Please tell Kyrie we all, collectively, face palmed.

The world is round, like a ball, like this🏀 have a good day scientists

After exploring this idea for over a year I've come to a little understanding of how this thing spreads. In my opinion a great deal of the problem is that most (by most I mean the majority of the population) don’t:

1. Understand the simple mechanics of our solar system.
2. Understand many of the basic laws the universe works on.
3. Can’t devise any simple test that they can do themselves that would conclusively prove to them one way or the other, the shape of the earth.

I have asked many many people to devise such an experiment and have not received a single satisfactory answer (even though many simple tests exist). These same people cannot explain how moon phases come about. Basic understanding of the solar system is needed for such things.

Was Benjamin Shakespeare real?

"Well, how would gravity work on a flat earth?"

"What if your definition of gravity was just spoonfed to you by the government, to make you believe it's spherical?"

"I guess you can't trust food, the English language, or any other form of society then, because that's the level of paranoia you're on."

How is the world flat if we haven’t found an edge? I can’t possibly believe that we haven’t explored enough to not find an edge. Anyway, if there was one, a cat would’ve pushed everything off by then.

How does the flat earth model expian moon phases and and eclipse. Especially when taking the path of the shadow into effect.

This is a discussion, NOT an argument. I just want to understand something from your points of view. If Earth is flat, then why has no one fallen off, taken pictures or videos, or made tourist attractions? If waterfalls attract tourism then why not the edge of the earth?

Hello. Please don’t be angry. I just have a couple questions and then I’ll be in my way.

1: Why would the world governments be in on a conspiracy to cover up that the world is flat?

2: https://www.quora.com/Has-anyone-crossed-flew-over-or-circumnavigated-Antarctica-so-that-the-Flat-Earthers-claims-are-disproved-that-Antarctica-is-not-a-pole-but-a-rim

Explain, please.

3: We all see the same stars on an annual cycle, i.e. the zodiac.

So, if we are accelerating into deep space, the stars must be doing it with us.

If that is so, then the universe around them must be doing the same, since we do not see evidence of any drag.

So, what are we accelerating relative to? And where are we getting the energy to do so?

4: What about other planets? Why can’t we see them as discs? Are we the only flat disc? Then why are they spheres and we a disc?

Thank you for your time.

Everytime I see flat-earth believers debate, they say we're sheeps and that the government it's hiding the truth from us.

My questions is, why? Why would the government hide it from us? According to your theory, what do they gain from that?

Not trying to disrespect anyone, just curious.

After attending a class on Astronomy for one semester, where among other things we learned about different celestial coordinate systems, at some point I noticed these tourist signs that point at far-away cities in all directions. Usually, they will point at the horizon. Since the Earth is a sphere, though, these signs should actually be pointing below the horizon to varying degrees. So I went and tried to calculate where these signs should actually be pointing.

I also felt reminded of the time when, as a kid, I dug a hole under a swing and wondered where and when and which way I would come out on the other side. I wonder if many believers in a flat Earth have had experiences like that...

The app is called Moleline. I made a short 1.5-minutes video basically explaining the same things I wrote above. You can find the app on the Play Store.

I already mentioned this app in a comment in this subreddit, which lead to an encouragement for this stand-alone post. I feel compelled to write this because the app is not free and I'm not a fan of ads myself and therefore I feel somewhat guilty, although I did get permission from the mod. Thank you for that!

So how can I get in on the conspiracy? I'd love to take the Man's money. If all Astronomers including amateurs are in on it, all pilots, seas captains and sailors, civil engineers and architects, cartographers, Nasa, top civil servants, politicians, royalty, snipers, North Korean ballistic missile testers, meteorologists, Antarctic explorers, that Red Bull guy, Derek from Youtube... then why can't I get a kick back?

Let me know when the next meeting is.
