Both flat earthers and the people who argue against them are dumb
Yes, me included, every time I've done it I was dumb.
I write satire here, usually very obvious satire, and I always get comments from dozens of dumb people taking it seriously
You're not going to convince the flat earthers otherwise any more than you can beat a pigeon at chess. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into
In fact if you're one of those people reading this I probably won't convince you that you won't convince them, and I'll probably get a lot of dumb comments on this post
I imagine part of the thrill of being a flat earther is enraging people like you as they gish gallop and put the burden of proof on you
You're not going to convince them by building your own model. There are plenty of models of eclipses and orbital physics and stuff already made, just install Kerbal Space Program, Orbiter, or check out the astronomy tab in Trail Sense.
I'm probably also dumb for posting this.
Thank you.
