Flat earth

I have a friend who is a flat earther, which of course is scientifically false. So i said, I'll buy you a ticket to Australia if you can convince me otherwise. At which point he went on about how the moon landings were all fake!

I was so, we can't be friends anymore, you're crazy.

Why would Australia prove a globe Earth, Australia is on the border with Germany.

The moon is not real, it is a satellite, even NASA admits this.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@AndysLoft The Moon is a "satellite"!

A satellite is any small object orbiting a larger one in space.

The communications etc. equipment put into orbit around the Earth are satellites too, but artificial ones!

Though how the Flat Earthers cope the notion of anything orbiting anything else, I have no idea! It's probably just too difficult for them to comprehend. :-)

@AndysLoft There you go, confusing Australia with Mars again!

It's a sad sign of the times when there's so much reputable information out there yet people would rather believe something they've seen on you tube

@Convivial
Unfortunately the age of 'reputable information' has past. This is the age of YouTube, and we now have to accept that different people can freely choose to live in different realities.
Convivial · 26-30, F
@onewithshoes very true... Which also makes communicating somewhat difficult if we lose a common thread of reality
DrWatson · 70-79, M
I think some flat earthers are in such denial, that if you put them in a spaceship that blasted off and achieved Earth orbit, they would still say that they were in a room with computer generated special effects.

@DrWatson

So that bit of mesh means they went to the moon and back and it’s all true.

I’ve apparently touched a bit of the moon when I went to the space museum in Washington lol 😂 they say it was the moon 🌑


DrWatson · 70-79, M
@Fairydust I have had this argument too many times. I don't have the energy to do it again now. The same things get said, over and over, and nobody changes.

@DrWatson

I’m not arguing 🙃 it’s a discussion.

I'm 90 percent certain that 90 percent of flat earthers are trolling. To any that are serious about it, what's the purpose of the 'conspiracy'? What does anyone possibly have to gain by 'tricking' us into believing in the earth is round? Are globe manufacturers worried about not making money anymore?

@SarahAndSamantha that’s easy they want us to exercise more like a mouse on a wheel, if the earth is round then we can keep running around in circles . 😂
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@SarahAndSamantha You may be right.

If you try to challenge them they retreat behind quoting fellow flat-Earth types, insulting you or using using tricks comparable to those used in what UK law calls "coercive and controlling behaviour". (An offence.)

Perhaps being aggressive shows they are frightened of being seen as plain wrong, as they must know they are.

The moon landing was fake 😁

@wildbill83

It’s a video sharing site. 🙄
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
@Fairydust controlled, moderated & censored by the CCP...

@wildbill83

Yeah it is and the videos keep getting deleted, just like google fakebook and you tube.

Fact-checkers!

All owned by WEF members that want to control us!


I've encountered enough flat Earth nonsense here that I've assembled a couple of easy cut-n-pastes:

Flat Earth?? Go to Chicago. Head out on Lake Michigan on a calm day. Watch the city sink into the lake!! No, not really; it's just a bit beyond the curve of the Earth.


Go to Lake Ponchartrain.

Check out the power lines. Take some pictures.

Then check out the causeway. Take some pictures.

Did they build all these wind turbines partway under water? Nope. Curve of the Earth again.









I say "NO, the Earth is round, not flat" Here's a bit of the "round Earth" evidence:

I particularly liked this one proving the "eye level horizon" claim is false
https://flatearth.ws/water-level-horizon
I also liked this one disproving claim 6 (just google for Ponchartrain power lines; hundreds have shot this image)
I liked this one disproving claim 20
And this one disproving claims 34,35
And this one disproving claims 56,57

Proves here that young people are easily swayed by propaganda. They are incabable of doing their own research or even looking at a map.

@ArishMell

Nah we see through the BS. 😎
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@Fairydust Such as that you have shown me. Well, I am glad you see it as b******t as well. I was beginning to think you are one of those childish trolls - like those Saras Renee and Johnson - too!

In the days of Concorde flying you could see the curvature of the earth due to the height the plane flew.
Fairydust · F
@nacnud

Really? Where’s the proof?
nacnud · 36-40, M
@Fairydust

Couple of articles

Pity to break the friendship if his clinging to his beloved myths was his only fault.

Ironically most of the flat-Earth and Moon-landings allegations come from Americans you'd think would be very proud of living in such a technically advanced country. The country that was the first and so far is still the only one to have put men on the Moon.

(Though not the first men in Space. That honour goes to Yuri Gagarin, of what was then the USSR, who successfully completed a single orbit of the Earth in 1961 - after a number of preliminary tests using dogs.)

@ArishMell

Astronaut hair lol 😂 lot of hairspray to keep it stiff and up.

The big deception 🤥
Dacrowman · 70-79, M
@ArishMell it must be true all maps are flat 😜
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@Dacrowman That must knacker them then if they try walking in the countryside and find the next part of the route in on the reverse face of the map. How do they negotiate the fold?

A few stupid ideas are not enough reason to end a good friendship.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
There's crazy and there's insane.

You don't argue with the insane! 🙃🤣
TexasDude · 31-35, M
I don't understand flat earthers. It's so bizzare
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@TexasDude I doubt they understand it either.
smileylovesgaming · 31-35, F
People like that are old to be friend's with
oh brother! this is how things are now
Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M
Let me guess. He loves Trump?
willyemmosher · 61-69, M
I think I have the same friend
