I am NOT a flat earther.
I do believe that NASA has faked some stuff.

One explanation is that they faked some footage of the moon landing and stuff in case they needed that footage. The space race was a big dick measuring contest that the USA did not want to lose. Motive!

There is footage that NASA used that appears to show bubbles and scuba divers and reflections of divers in visors etc that are pretty convincing that some of their footage is fake.

Many take this to mean that EVERYTHING is fake. I do not believe that everything NASA is fake.

Ah, I forgot. Parmen told me that Antarctica housed a secret global base with an earthquake machine and a weather controlling machine operated by the Bilderberg group. Guess he was right.

Do tell. Which stuff? Should be example on youtube, right?

The thing I find the most interesting is that their diorama model/theory is much more elaborate and hard to pull off than just accepting that the globe is spherical.


Every time they get proved wrong on something they come up with another conspiracy to validate the last one. They do that over and over and over.

I watched a documentary about it. There is a faction that tries to use science to prove the earth is flat. Every time they got proved wrong (like using lasers over a distance), they came up with some bs reason for why their experiment didn't work. Q people do the same thing. They just keep moving the goalposts to fit their narrative.

Do you think they actually believe the Earth is flat, or do they just enjoy riling people up over something harmless?

No, you don't. You can see it flying a plane.

I definitely think this happened. It honestly just seems like standard operating procedure for a government.

Ok... so the Earth is flat on two sides with China and the rest of the Eastern Hemisphere on one side and the USA and the rest of the Western Hemisphere on the other side? What's on the edges?

The “scientists” are absolutely wild.

They get the device to measure the earths rotation and immediately find out that it measures a rotating earth. So they have to figure out how to fix it not to do that.

The test they use with the light and the 2 holes in the boards is actually a classic test used for a long time to prove the earth is round.

No one ever mentions how early man figured out it's roundness. I usta enjoy when tied up on the coast to get out a big pair of binocs and watch boats go out and come in. I also usta try to guess how far way a platform was by how close to the water it appeared. on cold clear how humidity day this was very easy to see and the sphere is easy to see. Early scientist even calculated the size of the sphere very accurately by watching tall ships sail away and taking measurements on when the hull disappeared and height of masts seen as it disappeared around the curve. Early man thought it was flat too till they learned better

These people didn't know they were on the edges.

I have been up in a 747, and up the Empire State Building, and it seemed clear to me there was a curvature to the horizon. I actually chuckled about flat earthers when I was on the ESB. Guessing from up there (knowing the height of the ESB), you could make measurements proving curvature.

If that's what they believe, what makes the seasons? What accounts for the days getting shorter and longer? Because, from what I can tell, that doesn't account for that.
