People don't fly off the Earth when it spins because the atmosphere is spinning with us and the rotation of the Earth is too slow to form any kind of centrifugal force to propel people off of its surface.


This could be some of the silliest shite I've ever read on here.

So, just for a point, I am not a flat-earther. I do, however, like the way that some of these people are questioning things. Questioning things is the only way to true knowledge. Taking someone's word for it is the ignorant path. You should always question, look at the evidence, search for answers, test, and then form your opinion based on your research. I'm sorry that you are a mindless lemming.


Listen, I am all for the search of truth, but the problem with your argument is that the truth was discovered close to 500 years ago. I don't need to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge to prove there is not an invisible net underneath.

OP is obviously trying to break the downvote record.

I used to think that flat earthers were insane but now that I have actually listened to some of their points I must say they are interesting. Now I'm not saying I think the earth is flat but I don't think some of these people are as crazy as I used to.

Their arguments, while interesting and entertaining, are so idiotically dumb considering how much knowledge we have accumulated about physics and astronomy. The truth is that flat-earthers lack the most basic understanding regarding how the world around them works (gravity, elevation, horizon mirages, etc...). They fail/refuse to recognize their own lack of understanding and thereby subscribe to nonsensical explanations for a flat earth.
