Do people really think the Earth is round?


Read The Rest Here



quote:

A gathering of skeptics and Flat Earth enthusiasts came together in California over the weekend for a summit that may rival Donald Trump meeting Kim Jong-Un when it comes to sheer strangeness. The curious confab came together after James Underdown, who leads a skeptical group based out of Los Angeles, announced plans to demonstrate that the planet is round via a series of experiments at the Salton Sea. He told a local TV station that, after seeing the stunning rise in popularity online for the Flat Earth, he felt compelled to debunk the idea and "decided to sort of address this in person" rather than through blog posts or YouTube videos.


quote:

When asked if anyone from his group had changed their mind about the shape of the planet, prominent Flat Earth researcher and former C2C guest Mark Sargent succinctly told KESQ, "not a chance." And a fascinating look at the event from the perspective of the Flat Earth camp can be seen in a YouTube videoproduced by one researcher at the scene. The reaction to the proceedings was largely amusement over the experiments, which they claim "overlooked atmospheric conditions" and were subsequently dubbed "laughable."

How much research is really necessary? All he has to do is pick a direction, travel in said direction until he comes to the "end" and take a picture.

Simple as pie (which the earth is apparently molded after).

This guy is notorious for being full of shite. Funny how the flat earthers are full of shite but no one has proven yet that the earth is round. I wouldn’t believe any “proof” this assclown came up with anyway. He’s a fool.

So, if you're in space and see it rotating, why doesnt the other side ever show if its flat?

Nailed it. JFK assassination conspiracists, well the authors and film-makers at least, have made a killing for almost 55 years.

Moon landing deniers have done well too.

I can't decide which are more entertaining on YouTube. The Flat Earther's or the Moon Landing deniers.

I also can't decide if the dumbassery of both is more entertaining (for a good laugh) or frustrating (that I share the human race with such douchebaggery).

So, I don’t believe everything I’m fed from the government, and that makes me a douchebag? I feel sorry for you....and I’m not saying I believe any of this

You are not fed that the Earth is round from the government. Numerous independent sources have verified it.

You are not fed that the Lunar Landings did, in fact happen, solely by the government. At least a few independent sources have verified it.

I'm not saying you are a douchebag, overall. But such nonsense is utter douchebaggery.

That's the shite that started the FE stuff...

I have travelled the globe and have always looked at the stars so I know whatever the sky is, its spherical from an earth perspective...
So I believe the earth to be spherical...unless all of space is warped by some unpercieved force like a black hole under Antarctica or so.e shite...

The reason these FEers keep prattling on is because they've caught NASA lying...
A lot.
And some freaked out map maker artist that worked at NASA said it was flat, and all the space pics are art...and he proved it with copy pasta clouds in pics.
