Hi
can someone try to convince me that the earth is flat
curious if you guys can show me some good points

yup
so I'd like to see convincing evidence

It's the standardly accepted theory

I have no reason not to believe in it

you know
a default thing basically

similiarly to how I believe australia is real
even though I haven't seen it

I mean
I'm not a scientist
I don't know the exact proof that can be used to prove that it's a globe
however I also don't have anything to disprove that
so I believe what the scientists think, yes.

I've never seen any concrete proof against it

I have

do you have any evidence to say it's fake

well what is it?

okay so what proves that they're fake

sure

colour does not look correct

tbh

that's how the planet looks yes

link to exact source?

just in case

So just because they alter the colours on the images, means they're fake?
Photographers do that too

But we still have whole images
Not all of them are composites

why not?
just because there are composites means no pictures show the entire earth?

What about this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.space.com/amp/33503-earth-full-year-video-from-space-dscovr-time-lapse.html
These pictures weren't made from smaller images
@IXI

not the same thing as taking small images of parts of earth and combining

these color filter images are still images of the entire eartj

@IXI why are *all* images fake
even ones clearly not made from smaller ones?

@IXI why?

@IXI how else are you supposed to make a timelapse of images

They simply put these 3000 images of the earth into a video

To make a timelapse

What's weird here

@IXI it wasn't made by a person
it was made by a satellite

no human is that far from earth obviously

the iss is much closer

@IXI why are balloons moving like that

https://youtu.be/l_MWoHTHLeE

@IXI give me evidence satellites arent real

@IXI how does that look even remotely like a spy plane
that doesn't look like a spy planes wings

How does a spy plane fly continually for decades without landing

I still haven't seen a single good argument

@H8mz88 source of the original image

can't really read these weird graphs

@Logrian https://youtu.be/YaPa4esJJx4

can you show me a flat earth map that makes any sort of sense

aka one that doesn't heavily change the shape of a lot of places

Australia doesn't look like that

That's not a good map

Neither do africa nor s.America

Please show me a map with correct sizes

Please show me a map that has realistic sizes and makes sense

How do you want to say the earth looks like that if you can't make a realistic map of it?

There literally doesn't exist a way to show the earth as flat without distorting it
so
how do you think it can exist
while still having the distances and shapes it does?

There's literally this ages old dilemma
On how to portray earth on a flat map without distorting it
and it's impossible

See and this is my point
If you literally can't make a model of a flat earth
how can you claim it's flat

@-BigBB416 - distances and shapes of landmasses can and have been measured without satellites, though
which means it should be possible to create a non-distorted map if the earth was flat right?
but
it's not possible
nobody has been able to do it

@-BigBB416 - what does QEW stand for

and where is buffalo

From queen elizabeth way from buffalo?
let's see

@-BigBB416 - okay so it's just a road
I don't see what you're trying to say
My point is that it's impossible to create a flat map of the entire earth
which should be possible on a flat earth
how does this road tie into this

@-BigBB416 - can you respond to the model argument though
I'd like to see you disprove it

am I gonna see any response to my model argument?
you have all these distortion free measurements of countries shapes and sizes
And if you try to piece them together on a flat map
they won't fit without distortion
@-BigBB416 -
can you explain how this would happen on a flat earth?

@-BigBB416 - I'm gonna repeat it again
So you have measurements of every country's shape and size, yes?
And these existed before we even had satellite photos
So if you take these
And try to put them together on a flat map
It just won't fit
Which is why every single map ever has distortions
How would you explain that

My point is relevant because if you literally can't make a flat map of the world
Then how can it be flat?

Why is nobody willing to prove my point wrong?

You're all just avoiding my point

**it's literally impossible to make a flat map of the world. how can it be flat?**

Exactly
No flat earth model
Because you can't make a flat map without distortion
So how can it be flat, if you can't make a proper flat map

If earth is flat why didn't somebody make a proper map that shows how everything would be arranged on it?
Because you literally can't make a map of that

Great so you just ignore uncomfortable arguments that entirely disprove your view?

Amazing logical thinking
