political group i was a part of

are you talking about the roles?

yes

they are a bit outdated

i don't know how to change them

ok, i think it is more lined up to what i believe now

@Ætos i'll take an explaination. it'd be cool to get an insight

Alright, knock yourself out, I’ll do my best to answer with what I know.

*Unless you just want me to explain random shit that I’ve heard about it.*

I could do that too

is it just the notorious sun moves parrell to moon?

Sort of, yeah.

nevermind then that's been debunked at least 540k times.

They actually move in a weird pattern. FEs needed to explain seasons, so they figured out that if you have that, but the sun is also moving in a slowly spiraling pattern above the “flat plane”, then seasons can also work with that model.

I think the estimate for how far away the Sun is on an FE model is ~3k miles up, but not many FEs will commit to that as it has minimal support even in that community.

but the sun moving further dosen't effect energy enough to cause such a temperature difference

It would if the sun was actually really fucking small.

And in FE

The sun is really fucking small

what makes them think that?

their perspective?

Well, if the earth is flat, then nearly by definition, all other aspects of cosmology must be false

do they agree every other body in space is flat as well?

Therefore other explanations need to be made for the sun, moon, stars, etc

Most would say “inconclusive”

Some think the sun, moon, planets are also flat disks.

Some think they’re spheres

One guy here thinks that the planets are the physical embodiments of demons, even.

so even the flat earth community isn't fully agreeing with eachother.

oh dear.

I don't even think demons or anything paranormal exists.

There is very little agreement in the community aside from some major basic points.

Those points are:

The earth is flat.

Space and celestial science is not what NASA says.

We have been lied to about a lotta shit.

oh okay

For instance, a big point of contention is the “dome”.

Many flat earthers reference the Bible or other religious books, stating that the “firmament” mentioned there is solid.

This implies a huge dome like shell around the earth

It looks sort of like the world inside a snow globe.

lmao

Meanwhile, others say, “That’s a load of shit.”

They think the world continues extending on for a very long distance, an unknown distance.
