And, in that slide presentation, the claims of the "flat earth map" being used by governmental organizations and mapping authorities are false, as that's just an alternate depiction of the standard map we see today. Which is a map of Earth presented in 2d format.

There's quite a few different videos of the Chicago skyline

2019-04-09 20:28:39 UTC  

There can't be that much curve in the way.

2019-04-09 20:28:50 UTC  

What's the height of the vantage point?

2019-04-09 20:28:57 UTC  

The other thing I find interesting is super long bridges made without accounting for curvature

2019-04-09 20:29:36 UTC  

Also, the mirage effect is real.

2019-04-09 20:30:01 UTC  

Wait so uh what side are u guys arguing for?

2019-04-09 20:30:42 UTC  

They showed the mirage effect can't be at work here with Chicago because the image is not inverted

2019-04-09 20:30:48 UTC  

@Letsdo7his YT I'm arguing flat side

2019-04-09 20:31:01 UTC  

Ok and he’s arguing round?

2019-04-09 20:31:08 UTC  

Yes

2019-04-09 20:31:13 UTC  

K

2019-04-09 20:31:49 UTC  

So 1. Buildings etc visible too far away when they should be behind the curve 2. Super long bridges built without accounting for curve

2019-04-09 20:31:53 UTC  

The image being inverted has nothing to do with it.

2019-04-09 20:31:59 UTC  

someone change my mind abt anti vaccination

2019-04-09 20:32:06 UTC  

I'll do that.

2019-04-09 20:32:10 UTC  

After I'm done with this.

2019-04-09 20:32:11 UTC  

I wanna know why anyone thinks it’s a good idea

2019-04-09 20:32:19 UTC  

I heard it explained that a true mirage of that kind would be inverted

2019-04-09 20:32:22 UTC  

Oh I agree it's a terrible idea.

2019-04-09 20:32:27 UTC  

we're on the same side then

2019-04-09 20:32:34 UTC  

Oh, and no, it wouldn't.

2019-04-09 20:32:49 UTC  

So if the earth is flat and it’s day time rn for me wouldn’t it be day time on the other side of the world as wel

2019-04-09 20:33:00 UTC  

right

2019-04-09 20:33:08 UTC  

The theory by flat earthers is that the sun is very close to the earth and small.

2019-04-09 20:33:16 UTC  

Hmmm

2019-04-09 20:33:24 UTC  

how many flat earths can fit in the sun

2019-04-09 20:33:30 UTC  

They also had someone get In a boat and film as they went towards the skyline and showed it was visible the same way all the way across

2019-04-09 20:33:34 UTC  

But like we’ve been to space the astronauts could see it?

2019-04-09 20:33:35 UTC  

No mirage

2019-04-09 20:33:50 UTC  

Also, it's highly possible they were filming from a vantage point.

2019-04-09 20:34:02 UTC  

From water level in the boat

2019-04-09 20:34:29 UTC  

why would nasa lie abt the shape of the earth

2019-04-09 20:34:39 UTC  

They say it's for money.

2019-04-09 20:34:45 UTC  

Also, I need sources on that

2019-04-09 20:35:12 UTC  

I don't mean this in a rude way, but whoever's a flat earther here, may I ask something?

Engineer, W. Winckler, wrote into the Earth Review October 1893 regarding the Earth’s supposed curvature, stating, “As an engineer of many years standing, I saw that this absurd allowance is only permitted in school books. No engineer would dream of allowing anything of the kind. I have projected many miles of railways and many more of canals and the allowance has not even been thought of, much less allowed for. This allowance for curvature means this – that it is 8” for the first mile of a canal, and increasing at the ratio by the square of the distance in miles; thus a small navigable canal for boats, say 30 miles long, will have, by the above rule an allowance for curvature of 600 feet. Think of that and then please credit engineers as not being quite such fools. Nothing of the sort is allowed. We no more think of allowing 600 feet for a line of 30 miles of railway or canal, than of wasting our time trying to square the circle”

I thought the human race like evolved as in we should be smarter
