And the scale of the lie. How do they convince joe explorer, who’s just tried to row round the world only to bump into the wall of ice, to tell people he got all the way round?

Exactly.
You can stand at the coast and look out at the horizon with a pair of binoculars and see the mast of a ship before you see the bridge and then the hull.
Or in reverse, watch a ship sail out and disappear behind the horizon.
These people are idiots

Have the fuckwits supplied a model for tides on their space pizza that works without invoking that inconvenient gravity yet or are they still coming to terms with Australia being an actual place?

That Dunning-Kruger effect graph is brilliant.

Couldn't see your other image though.

That graph actually plots a flat line, it only looks curved because your device has in-built, very selective, fisheye distortion. This only ever kicks in the moment you look at anything that would be empirical evidence against a flat earth. It's funny how that works, isn't it?

Those creeps have well and truly got the wool pulled over our eyes.
Thanks for the insight. Will be wearing a sieve and tinfoil on my head from now on as there's no escape from these liars.
 
So...do the flatties acknowledge any form of navigational aid that would let you plot a straight line across the earth eg compass, satnav, sextant, star charts? If not, how do ships and planes get to where they want to be? And if they do, let’s put them all on a big ship and sail it round the world. See if they can point out the edge.
 
The SMB will debate anything, that's what makes it a great message board.

However, the earth isn't flat. There is no debate. It's not remotely contentious. It's either down to attention seeking or a refusal to accept basic facts.

They do say that a plane flying north to south would have to keep dipping its nose or it would fly off into space. Yet, getting to space is that easy. However they don’t acknowledge that if you live on a pizza, flying east to west would mean the pilot constantly banking right by exactly the same reasoning.

For those puzzled by the lunar eclipse this week, don’t worry, there is an explanation. It is the magic invisible shadow object moving in front of the moon

It is one thing I love abouat flattards. Take the simple concept of earth as a ball, the moon goes round it and it goes round the sun. Everything we can see can be explained by that, sunrise, moon phases, basic measuring of the position of them from around the world at the same time, eclipses, it all works. You can demonstrate a lot of it to a child using a torch, a football and a tennis ball.

In a flat earth, you can’t do that simple approach, so they have had to invent masses of crazy cosmic objects to give some vague explanation. Space in a flat earth universe is very complex.

In other news I unfollowed someone on Instagram the other day as they started posting stuff about how gravity doesn't exist and I thought "I can't waste my time reading doylems shite."

I already explained tides in an early thread man...:rolleyes: It's just the water flowing to the bottom of the globe as it turns, that leaves a low tide at the top!

Finland, just like Australia, doesn't exist (and I'm not too sure about Belgium either).

You have to wonder why people say things like that. I went to Australia for a holiday, or at least I got on a plane for a long time and landed somewhere much hotter with unique wildlife, where there were people who had what I think of as Australian accents and saw things like Uluru, the bridge and Opera House. I wonder where I really was?

Funny you should mention that, with any luck they'll switch off the GPS Voodoo machine and sail right off the f***ing edge if they can navigate their way past the ice wall.

:D

Though I have just realised that TV might be slowly trying to subliminally introduce us to the idea of a ice wall at the end of the civilized world:

You're also told truths (or at least non-
lies - there's a distinction) every day, so what? That isn't in any way evidence or justification for you believing any ridiculous proposition going. How do you know the 'Flat Earth' isn't one of the lies?

What would falsify your belief? What would need to be shown to you, to convince you you're not correct?

I would have to go up in a military plane as high as possible and ensure the glass is not the fish eye lens type stuff , that or see water bend and curve whilst sticking to the exterior of object

If they ever start giving free flights to every individual to convince them of reality one by one, then I'm signing up for the flat earth society.
