Mongolian?
It turns out the "eratosthenes works on a flat earth with a local sun" doesn't fly at all when you actually test it with more than 2 sticks
you guys all synced at the same time?
Not at all
yes
when did you take these measurements?
and did you do this all at the same time
😂
This was not us
Yet
fine, did these people do this all at the same time
I'm skimming it
its painful
don't
just watch it
9 minutes dude
Oof
what kind of cake?
what kind of jam?
strawberry
mmm
i dont know
i perfer german's chocolate cake
no other kind of jam is acceptable on a sponge cake tho lets be honest
did you guys take perspective into account?
the further something is, the smaller it looks
only curvy linear perspective
its a simple question
yes or no
jesus christ
c: none of the above
are you serious
did these guys take perspective into account
yes, perspective does come into it
Perspective has nothing to do with it
if you guys are all synced to the same sun at the same time, the sun is going to be closer to some than others
Its literally a stick and some shadows
some will be bigger sun if its directly over head or smaller if its further away
They literally give the benefit of the doubt and assume a flat earth to demonstrate that it doesnt work
you can see it changing shape slightly as it moves over the horizon
