Most people here are Globe Earthers

2019-04-17 07:45:59 UTC  

good

2019-04-17 07:46:03 UTC  

finally people with sense

2019-04-17 07:46:25 UTC  

But among the active people, it’s a fairly balanced 50/50 split with globers and FEs.

2019-04-17 07:46:40 UTC  

why do people even think the earth is flat like, how??

2019-04-17 07:46:57 UTC  

It’s actually fairly complicated, initially.

2019-04-17 07:47:09 UTC  

And many make some decent and hard to answer points.

2019-04-17 07:47:32 UTC  

Usually it’ll start somewhere along the lines of, “There is no measurable curve.”

2019-04-17 07:49:36 UTC  

i mean like when that guy jumped from space, you can visibly see the curvature

2019-04-17 07:49:51 UTC  

fisheye lens

2019-04-17 07:50:06 UTC  

That guy used a GoPro, iirc

2019-04-17 07:50:32 UTC  

I don't believe the earth is flat and it doesn't matter if it is or not. The problem I have is when people act like they have a stick up their bum if someone else disagrees. If the earth really is flat then there is even more being hidden from you.

2019-04-17 07:50:33 UTC  

nvm i cant send pics

2019-04-17 07:50:36 UTC  

The lens naturally gives a curving appearance

2019-04-17 07:50:47 UTC  

yes, but its still curved

2019-04-17 07:50:57 UTC  

maybe not to the degree that it looks

2019-04-17 07:51:20 UTC  

If the lens curves the image naturally, then how much curve is in the original image?

2019-04-17 07:51:40 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2019-04-17 07:51:41 UTC  

idk

2019-04-17 07:51:44 UTC  

but its still curved

2019-04-17 07:51:45 UTC  

Exactly

2019-04-17 07:51:47 UTC  

it just amplifies it

2019-04-17 07:51:54 UTC  

Well, does it?

2019-04-17 07:52:21 UTC  

Is it amplifying or *adding*?

2019-04-17 07:52:38 UTC  

This is basically why people are flat earthers.

2019-04-17 07:53:10 UTC  

If you go beyond just a face value, the questions become fairly complicated.

2019-04-17 07:53:26 UTC  

thats true

2019-04-17 08:03:20 UTC  

Many are perfectly reasonable

2019-04-17 08:05:07 UTC  

Thats not exactly true

2019-04-17 08:05:14 UTC  

Flat earthers get heavily trolled

2019-04-17 08:05:33 UTC  

I image its fairly hard being resonable when you arent sure who you can really trust

2019-04-17 08:05:55 UTC  

I'm not a flat earther

2019-04-17 08:06:00 UTC  

I gained their trust

2019-04-17 08:06:24 UTC  

They now tolerate me and my weirdness

2019-04-17 08:08:03 UTC  

Like just ask genuine questions, dont be sarcastic, make good debatable points that arent rude or trollish

2019-04-17 08:08:27 UTC  

Which is what 90% of people do

2019-04-17 08:08:43 UTC  

Alright, @nickthecommunist has been warned for '**Duplicated text**'.

2019-04-17 08:08:53 UTC  

🌍

2019-04-17 08:09:46 UTC  

the earth is round because the earth is round

2019-04-17 08:10:02 UTC  

See thats my point

2019-04-17 08:10:08 UTC  

Thats just a dumb statement
