Hi

The same areas that produce arguments where they try to undermine observation. Because it doesn’t support them.

what do you guys think about this

How high is that balloon?

does it matter?

i can see the corners of the flat earth in that video 👀👀👀

Fisheye lenz showing curve doesn't show actual horizon, just distortion

yeah i thought you were gonna say that

kinda weird how nothing in the end of the video was curved either

You never really see that much curve from high altitude balloons, and they can only go so high.
Tho I reckon variables with the camera view might affect apparent curve.

That video is what @Deleted User asked for one time

Chris wanted a go pro

I didn't know that video existed but tbh it didn't go high enough!

This puts down my thoughts on it quite well

@cocobanana show me the curvature formula and tell me it doesnt go high enough

This is part of why I don't focus on high altitude photos and footage anyways
*"The high-elevation horizon is almost as sharp as the sea-level horizon, but its contrast is less than 10% that of the sea-level horizon. Photographs purporting to show the curvature of the Earth are always suspect because virtually all camera lenses project an image that suffers from barrel distortion. "*

@Deleted User did you watch the video that @Deleted User posted

Isn't that what you were asking for the

One day

lol

why doesnt it look directly at the horizon?

No don't get it twisted, I'm on your side

I just wanted to show you

This type of video

Does exist

its deceptive

Yeah

ecks dee

okay can I say a thing about antivaxx people?

go ahead

one argument I see from them is the fact that some vaccines contain aluminum and mercury which are both dangerous

but they're dangerous when on their own

its like saying "sodium explodes in water and chlorine is extremely poisonous so putting them together is dangerous" when it literally just makes sodium chloride aka salt

Mercury's dangerous by itself lol
