horizon doesn't rise to eye level

Why aren't frozen lakes conforming to a sphere 40,070km in circumference, 6,370km in radius? If Earth is a sphere of those dimensions we should be able to derive curvature which is approximately 8cm per km squared, it isn't there.

🤦

the horizen wouldn't be flat like that so far out too; after like a few hundered miles you'd clearly see a warping curve

if any of you are gamers, if you ever played in a game that tried to emulate the sphere we supposedly lived on, you would realize quickly that it doesn't represent our reality

we don't live on a sphere, gaming shows this

skyrim is flat

KSP?

therefore, earth is flat

Kevin do you know how video games work

There are more reasons then that but ok

3 KSP Flat Earth Proofs:
1. LOST THE TECHNOLOGY..... Even without super heavy lift capability it is possible to create a modularly assembled star ship for relatively low cost using existing technology. This could take man to the moon and beyond WHY HASN'T ANYONE DONE IT?
2. 2ND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS..... Fly at a circular orbit of 70,000m and notice you can orbit infinitely. Fly at a circular orbit of 69,999m and watch yourself spiral into the ground. How is gas next to no gas possible?
3. STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT..... Build an SSTO, fly at the horizon and watch the artificial horizon slowly get lower and lower as you fly off at a tangent, notice how real aircraft don't do this and wonder how straight and level flight is possible on a globe earth.3 KSP Flat

@ShadyMasterJ I agree—I think it's just that the more, and I do regret the choice of term, sophisticated flat-earthers essentially argue there's a bump-map of sorts on a round yet horizontal and non-globular Earth.

I know how 3D modeling works and I bought space engineers when it was being made

they tried to make planets and it was sad and pathetic in their early attempts

too round

Human Sheeple quit gish galloping

they were trying to put us on a ball

<:megalul:485077677175472148>

Sad!

too much of a ball, that isn't reality

You can go outside and try and see the curve with unbiased on for once Shady

You won't find what you are looking for

They have simulations of globes that work far better than a flat one. I could create one in a unity engine

<:globiegoggles:485140915149864980>

3D engines don't represent reality because over long distances light bends an enormous amount

Too much of a ball, that isn't GOD

oh look

light doesn't bend an enormous amount

horizon doesnt rise to eye level

@Hugh Ignore the lift bending the wing up ha ha

human eyes are circular in nature and most people have two of them

Hugh, that's just an optical illusion created by fish eye lenses c'mon

We all know that!

@Human Sheeple the wing is not the focus point

so we see with two eyes to gain perspective, which also has its own peculiarities

the line is

But uh @Human Sheeple The wing isn't tilted up, look at the indicator on the top

That's the point.

So air doesn't push the wings up, lifting the plane up bending the wing upwards from the stress strain forces? Oh no that would be crazy
