Flat earther: _"I can see far-away-objects at the horizon so this proves the earth is flat"_
Also flat earthers: _"I cannot see the sun at night even though it's always above my head"_
It's the internal contradictions that truly baffle me

But “I don’t understand , so it’s fake” is a great way to fit in the magical explanations I read about

Good video
@hydrodragon12 Says:
Also I think there should be a correction in that video, because we can't have something cover "0.5 degrees in our eyes", I think that should be 0.5 steradians, because that angle would be a solid angle

I can't believe that in this day and age we are still talking about flat earth! How is this even possible? Einstein did say that only 2 things were infinite: the Universe and man's stupidity, and he wasn't sure about the Universe.

At this point, in the future if we became star faring... lets make a flat earth and send people who is really into it to there
@chrisbeer5685 Says:
My Dad is a literal professor, and while he isn't a flat earther, he still refuses to believe basically the entire field of astronomy, because he doesn’t understand how they measure things like distances between Galaxies. Trying to explain it to him with my limited knowledge doesn't work either.

So, why, if the earth isn't flat, isn't there sparkling water coming out of the tap?

Bit off topic but I just found this channel but knew about the other one Zach Star Himself for a while. Seeing the guy I've watched doing comedy doing science was some whiplash, and fun.

To the "hod di people in past measure distances"
Like bro, I get that today we all sit in chairs confused, but in old days people walked alot.
And guess what, when you do something alot you get pretty good at knowing what you doing.
It's like they "they must have used machines"
Them most likely:
So I can walk 100 feet in N time, I know it takes people who walks similar to me X days to walk this path, and when I do it takes Y days.
So if we scale N to the average of what people have walked then it must be Z long

@Falconii2 Says:
I once had a friend make a really interesting theory. In his mind, the people who believe in the flat-earth don’t actually believe in the flat earth, rather, they pretend to believe to encourage people to find genuinely convincing argument for the earth not to be flat to make people be less ignorant. This is why they would not respond people with convincing argument, as in their minds, that person has learned not to be ignorant, so now they move to the next.
…it was really interesting until you stop to think a large portion of people are just stupid.

You know that 8in per mile^2 is a factually incorrect equation to use when measuring the curvature of the Earth… right? That equation is used for parabolas. The Earth is not a parabola.

i love how everybody is like EARTH CAN"T BE FLAT BECAUSE "CUE LOGICAL REASON" and flat earther's just like "NaH BrO"

If only humanity was this passionate about shit that actually matters. Can’t get us to care about starving children but you will swear on every atom that 100 humans can beat a wild undomesticated animal that has zero concept of comfort and fights for everything it has that and can lift 15 of them at once and would bite and impregnate them

everybody is so stupid. earth is obviously a frisbee
@mokacoffay2 Says:
The trick to conversing with these people is you have to one up them in conspiracy levels. "You think the moon landing is fake? Dude, they WANT you to think it's fake to hide the fact that there are Chinese moon bases on the dark side of the moon RIGHT NOW."

@acestillwell98 Says:
I find it funny how when folks like flat earther's dont understand something, they default to 'its fake, the government is controlling you!'. But when scientists look at how they accurately measured distance back then to such a degree, they default to 'we are missing information, they must have used other devices or something, or else they are god-damn wizards...'
@john-s-peñois Says:
My favorite part of Flat Earth youtube is when they build all these super ridiculous contraptions, like a six foot tall stack of cardboard boxes and six cups of water sitting on top of a long plank of wood they leveled with a bubble level, and they line up a wooden gunsight with the level of the water through the glasses and they point it at a pier on the other side of a lake to the top of a six foot pole in order to prove there isn't a decline from a long distance. And then they hold a camera up to the gunsight and you literally can't see anything because the water cups bend the light and they aren't big enough in circumference to even keep the water flat. And they go through all this trouble in order to do a flawed experiment because none of them know a magnified clinometer exists yet, and all they would have to do is buy one and stand there and look through it. 😆

I actually could tell the line was curved because there was a line of pixels overlapping the straight edge that was slightly darker on the right than the left, suggesting that the soft gradient of the line was slightly higher up on that side. 😎

Side B? Hell? Some elephants and a turtle?

I am sure the majority of “flat earthers” are trolls for clicks and we are complicit by playing into their hands. They can’t be that stupid. Just ignore these clowns and this fad will die a natural death.

Water doesn't keep a constant distance from the center, it keeps a constant plane(s) to it. If I dug a 20 mile deep hole next to the ocean....and didn't fill it up to the same level???
Not to take away from the message: which is very correct.
