re: Why are "they" so obsessed with mentions of 'FLAT EARTH'? Just a silly "CT", right?

Bro, that’s Minnesota with a sign!

This picture is a lie. THEY won't let you go there.

I read it as sarcasm. We're good.

Ok, I watched your documentary. Honestly it was way more lacking in “evidence” than I thought. Some things are very easily explained, but I understand if you’ll see everything as what THEY want me to think.

The radio wave thing is simple: the ionosphere reflects and bends radio waves around the world, and thank God for it, bc it also protects us from solar flares from the sun.

The NASA “faked” footage didn’t really strike me as compelling, as they just looked like video artifacts from a blip in connection speed. This happens all the time on zoom calls and FaceTime calls, and would be expected for orbital communications.

Yes, fish eye lenses are overused, but they supply a much better range of view, especially in tight quarters when your subject will be close to the lens. Not really compelling there either. Neil Degrasse Tyson actually proves a point counter to the FE movement: he was only the equivalent of a couple millimeters off the school globe, so of course the curvature of the earth isn’t as pronounced as it looks. HOWEVER, he did overuse hyperbole in saying he wouldn’t see a curve. Curvature can definitely be seen in a high altitude airplane with enough field of view.

Not to mention the Greeks knew very early on in humanity that the earth was round because they noticed that ships disappeared over the horizon, seemingly sinking into the ocean, but they were really just traveling beyond the curvature of the earth past the horizon where our eyes see. Without this effect, we’d be able to see cities on the other side of the world with a telescope. Why can’t we do that if the earth isn’t round?

The North Pole “disappeared” from globes bc we used to think there was actual land up there, and later discovered it was simply a frozen glacier with no land beneath.

The “lol you mean to tell me we’re traveling through space at X mph and rotating at X mph? I don’t feel anything!” argument is the weakest one for me. These speeds are constant. We don’t feel SPEED. We feel ACCELERATION. Like in a car, launching off a starting line blows you back into your seat, but you feel nothing (given a smooth road) when going a steady 60mph on the interstate.

I find all this interesting and it’s a fun theory, but it doesn’t hold water when you take a look around you. Thanks for sharing though!
