Quote from: wizer on Today at 11:01:23 AMHow do you explain all the satellites in orbit and the pictures of the earth from space clearly depicting it as a globe just like the rest of the planets in our solar system?

99% of ALL "satellite communication" is through underwater cables.... and the "satellite imagery" is conducted with the help of balloons.... in fact, "nasa" is the number one consumer of helium....

Are you denying that there are almost 10,000 Satellites in orbit around the planet?

Are you unaware of countless photographs of the earth from space, and other planets and the moon, clearly showing spherical objects?

Why is it that when you're traveling on a ship, or a plane, you can only see as far as the horizon but as you travel, more things come into view, clearly showing that you're viewing across a large curved surface?

How do you explain that the sun slowly traverses the sky, ultimately leaving you in darkness while others are in bright sunlight?

Are we really having a serious conversation? You've got to be screwing with me. No one is this dumb. Are they?

That is an interesting comparison.

My parents are Korean immigrants. It is really strange to them I never married. The longer I put it off the less appealing marriage became.

I like my life. I can travel when I want. I can golf when I want. I can go to the sports bar when I want.

so you believe this however the sun and moon appear unobstructed?

QuoteAre you unaware of countless photographs of the earth from space, and other planets and the moon, clearly showing spherical objects?

i am.... i am also aware that they credit "artists".... not "photographers"....

forced perspective and atmospheric lensing.... the same way doors appear and/or disappear down extremely long hallways....

QuoteHow do you explain that the sun slowly traverses the sky, ultimately leaving you in darkness while others are in bright sunlight?

the suns travels over head moving in and out of view, giving the impression of rising and setting....

again.... why are YOU so concerned? does "your vaccine not work if i'm not vaccinated" too? lmmfao....

I thought the flat earth stuff was all satire, otherwise why did we pay Elon Musk billions of dollars rescue those stranded astronauts on the space station when the space station is obviously Hollywood CGI.

I think we have more proof on Bigfoot since they keep making all those Bigfoot hunting shows.

You sound like my mother. Just kidding. That is a regret. I admit that.

An entire show about hunting a BigFoot? Let me know if they ever catch one. I'd even settle for a clear picture but with AI nowadays that would be rather worthless.

Quote from: wizer on Today at 09:13:27 AMDoes one of the participants believe the shape of this planet is other than a sphere?

Given the ignorance spewed across various threads on this forum, along with the occasional conspiracy theory for good measure, I almost don't want to know the answer yet I won't be the least bit surprised.

deadskinmask and I have had this debate before

he believes we live on a floating pizza pie. I do not share his ideas on that one.

it was an entertaining debate though.

DSM has tried getting me into that discussion. I have nothing to say on the matter. The earth is spherical but I do not care enough to argue it.

I can't believe I share this planet with idiots who believe such nonsense.

Yeah, it's pretty out there but far less harmful to the cause than promoting this idea that little green hook noses with Yamakas are running around behind the scenes trying to sway the entire planet into a aggregate force that essentially hates them

it caught me off guard when I first learned of it too. I kept waiting for the moment where the person espousing absurdity would push me on the shoulder with a big smirk and say "I'm just fucking with ya to see your reaction"

but that day never came

scary.
