Why can't NASA just bite the bullet and launch a plainly simple mission, audited by flat earther peers start to finish that definitively proves to even the smallest minds that the earth is an oblong spheroid, and not flat?

They try to explain the tides as water being mysteriously attracted to the Moon - conveniently forgetting that there are TWO tides per day - one when the Moon is overhead - and another about 12 hours later when the Moon is nowhere close.

The fact of what you see out of the window of a Qantas airlines flight as it flies from Australia to South America - not following the route it would have to take if the Earth was flat.

Then we have the Foucault pendulum which demonstrates the rotation of the Earth.

Why can't they repair the damage caused by Elon Musk renaming Twitter to X?

If you pick three cities that are quite far apart - compare the compass headings to each one with the distances between them - you’ll find that you cannot draw the triangle formed by them on a flat surface that reproduces both the distances and angles.

Their lame explanations for how the sun moves in order to produce day and night would result in the sun rising and setting in the North and South in many parts of the world.

The motion of the planets against the background stars - cannot be explained by the Flat Earthers.

The Coriolis force also explains why hurricanes ALWAYS rotate in opposite directions north and south of the equator. Flat Earthers can’t explain that.

We have the “Coriolis Force” - which is a consequence of the curvature of the Earth. People who train as snipers have to compensate for it when they shoot to the North and South - and not when they shoot to the East and West.

For the Flat Earthers to explain the results of Eratosthenes experiment to measure the circumference of the Earth (which you can EASILY do for yourself) they have to place the Sun about 4,000 miles above the Flat Earth. That would mean that the sun would only be about 30 miles across. They cannot POSSIBLY explain how such a tiny object can generate enough energy to keep the Earth warm.

You can see the phases of the Moon - and with just a pair of binoculars you can CLEARLY see that it has mountains that cast shadows across the surface - which you wouldn’t see if the Sun and Moon are where the Flat Earthers claim.

We have MOUNTAINS of evidence proving that the Earth is round.

We have people living and working at the South Pole - which the Flat Earthers deny the existence of.

What should I do to stop being angered easily?

You can see that the shadow of the Earth - cast onto the Moon during a lunar eclipse is CLEARLY curved.

OK - I’m getting bored now…I could easily double the number of bullet points for this answer.

SO WHY THE HELL WOULD WE WASTE A BILLION DOLLARS ON SOMETHING THAT THE FLAT EARTHERS WOULD **STILL** DENY AS A FAKE.

What does it feel like to "lose your looks" to age?

Even if you deny the compass headings - tf you add a fourth city - there is no way to draw them out to scale on a flat piece of paper with the distances coming out right.

Tens of thousands of photos of Earth from every distance from high altitude aircraft - though Earth orbit - the Moon - various Lagrange points - from our robots driving around on Mars - and on out to the Voyager spacecraft. Every single photo shows beyond doubt that the Earth is a very nearly perfect sphere.

Why?

We have more gravity at the poles and less at the equator…less on mountains - more in valleys - they can’t explain that either.

We have THOUSANDS of satellites in orbit - some (like the ISS) are visible with the naked eye. Heck - the words I’m typing right now are coming to you via probably two or three StarLink satellites…also not possible in a Flat Earth.

We have footage from both professional and 100% amateur camera-equipped balloon launches that CLEARLY show the curvature of the horizon at altitude. The Flat Earthers claim “Lens distortion” - but can’t explain how that exact same camera produced a flat horizon right after launch.

(Oh - and FYI it’s an “OBLATE” spheroid - not “OBLONG”.)

The way compass needles always point to the Southern Cross constellation in the Southern Hemisphere CLEARLY disproves the Flat Earth hypothesis. They can’t explain why the Southern Cross would have to be everywhere at once if their Flat Earth map was true.

If you sit at home and learn how to use the “PING” program on your computer - you can plot approximate times that it takes for a data packet to reach various web sites around the world. This very approximate measure of distance - and if you collect PING times from enough cities and plot them on a map - it totally disproves the Flat Earther map.

Does having the wrong address on my car insurance invalidate my policy?

They can’t explain gravity and they don’t agree which of about four different half-assed nonsenses they come up with is correct…which is because all four of them utterly fail to explain the observable facts..

Their explanations for how the sun rises and sets (EITHER due to atmospheric refraction - OR due to their bizarre altered laws of perspective) would result in the sun becoming very elliptical as it approaches the horizon…clearly it doesn’t…ditto for moon rises and setting.

I don’t want my tax dollars flushed down the toilet trying to disprove a totally ludicrous theory to a bunch of total idiots.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

You can see the Moon is the opposite way up in northern countries than it is in southern countries - and appears sideways if you’re at the equator. That can’t happen on a Flat Earth.

We have more than enough proof that the Earth isn’t flat…if people are too stupid to understand any of them(!!) - then that's their problem - not ours.
