Flat Earthers accept climate change

water don't stick to spinning balls , in fact water doesn't conform to the exterior of any shaped object , spinning or not
 
I don't know about gas , but I insist all claims are testable and repeatable - show me water conforming and sticking to a ball , please show me

Maybe you should employ the same principles when offering your claims about the shape of the Earth, since you haven't even offered a test to back up your claim, let alone a repeatable one.

Planet earth, then there is frozen water on Enceladus. Performing an experiment on earth will not work for 2 reasons, 1 is that you need sufficiently large mass for the gravitational attraction to hold water and the earth's gravitational field will have a greater effect pulling the water away from your experiment ball. However there are a few videos and images of water holding itself in a ball, in the absence of a gravitational field, on the ISS, e.g.:

There are three basic states of mater, solid, liquid and gas. Solids can bond together so fair enough they can stick as a ball, you say liquid can't because if you spin round a sponge fast, the water will fly out - i.e. water is loose. However gas is even less dense than water and we can observe it holding in a ball of either pure gas or perhaps around a rock/metal core in other planets. Why assume the middle state of matter can not?

I am glad you are asking for evidence to be put up. Could you provide me any evidence of a flat earth? Not what you don't understand about a globular earth, something that says the earth must be flat. Even a workable map that we can navigate our disc by? An explanation of sun rise and sun set (including why this is at different times for different people), perhaps evidence of why people have crossed the antartic but not hit the edge or a model of why the stars spin in different directions around the north and south poll.

my only claims are its flat and motionless , water proves its flat and do you feel motion ever?

No it doesn't, as @DaveH helpfully explained above.

I don't know why I'm bothering as you're clearly a wum, but fuck it, I'll chomp. My own proof of the globe is simple observation. I become aware of the motion when I watch the night sky, I've watched the stars appear to rotate in opposite directions in northern and southern hemispheres, the lack of the northern sky's constellations while in Brazil, and coincidentally the presence of the southern constellations, most notably the Southern Cross. When in Ecuador I observed the moon rise, pass directly overhead and and set, something no flat Earth model can explain. Oh, and I've observed both solar and lunar eclipses. Again, there's no flat Earth model that can explain both.
 
The earth doesn't revolve around the sun, the sun revolves around the earth.

No it doesn't and why would you feel motion if you are moving with it? Stick a pendulum on a train (assuming the track is smooth and there are no corners), when you are accelerating it will swing towards the rear of the train, when you are slowing down it will swing forward when in constant motion it will come to rest in the middle. No accelerating force, no change in motion, no force acting on the pendulum. (A weight suspended between two springs is a better instrument). Same as when you are in a plane, you feel pinned back when it takes off, but once you are flying at 550 mph, you barely feel the forward motion.

Your claim comes down to you thinking that spinning at a tiny fraction of a revolution per minute should give you a physical sensation and not being able to feel that. I.e. the world does not live up to your expectations, therefor it must be wrong, so some batshit crazy idea with no substance behind it what so ever must be correct. It is hardly a logical argument.

Here is an experiment to try at home. Stick a analog clock on the floor next to a swivel chair. Start with the hour hand pointing away from you. Over the next 3 hours, spin your chair at the same rate as the hour hand, until you are facing the wall that was on your right as you started. What did that spinning sensation feel like? Now consider that that is twice as fast as the earth is spinning. The important thing is not to post on the SMB for those 3 hours.
