if the earth was flat eventually if you walked in a straight line, you would fall into space

Unless you guys have an explanation for that...

Which I don't know how that makes more sense than a round earth but ok

well great example but what if you suspect this guy has a gun and he killed ppl before will you trust him ?

woah we are talking about the earth sir

If I knew that, probably not

But you can't TELL just by looking at someone. And living in paranoia towards everyone is no way to live

and here's my example you don't give your money to a stranger and expect him to give it back coz you will be stupid if you do no offense

That’s because you are changing the circumstances

i trust galileo

yeah so the context matters

No, you don't trust everyone instantly with everything, but you have to trust most people to not kill you or mug you

You don't have to give away your money, or share your darkest secrets, but you can, until proven otherwise, trust they won't bring harm to you

true i would hope if i was walking through a crowd a people that no one would have intent to kill me

You don't have a choice really, again, do you really want to live your life paranoid

if i lived with that fear and the distrust of humans at that point why would i have a reason to trust myself? how am i any different?

Exactly, that's another great point

Can someone explain why the earth is flat to me

please^

Yus

Agreed, I still need convincing

if the earth was flat wouldn’t timezone be affected

genuine question

Don't forget ships sinking over the horizon

Do timezones exist

Yes

would timezones exist if the world was flat?

How do you know timezones exist

wouldn’t the sun hit the whole surface?

if it was a 2d object

^

Timezones are basically what cause it to be noon in one part of the world and Sunset in another part

The sun is actually a spot light going around the earth

woah if the we were to rotate around, wouldn’t our days be longer because the sun would always stay on us until it hits the bottom of the 2d object?

man

It's really not a spotlight though

Then timezones wouldn't exist

exactly

why would the earth be flat but the sun be round?

But I have a different question, why would the earth be flat if we can clearly see the moon is round? It has curvature in its shadows. Why would all the other celestial bodies in the solar system be round while the earth is flat?

omg
