Is the earth flat /pol/?
I feel like I've gone through multiple stages of the redpill.
First dindus are less evolved etc. This one was easy and quick because I wen't to a majority dindu school.
Then it was the many 'conspiracy' theories.
Finally it was the jews and the fake holocaust.
Is flat earth the next one? It seems so absolutely ridiculous that I can't even think about it logically. Help me understand /pol/. Is the earth really flat?
>>67749215
Do you even know basic physics you dumbass
allow me to redpill you
it's actually a cone
checkem
The Earth is round in 3D, a curled spiral in 4D, and a disk in a holographic universe.
Now pick your perspective.
bump i guess. come on you flat earthers here's another one on the fence that just needs a push.
Well what happens if you reach the end?
Sure is. Just fly in a airplane and look out a window. You see a flat horizon that never changes regardless of elevation. No curvature of the "globe" can be seen.
>>67750150
It will be very painful
>>67749558
I thought it was generally cylindrical, with a slightly misshapen cone on the top.
There was also a theory about two orbs at the base of the cylinder. But that was still yet to be confirmed.
Why does the function f(x)= x^2 appear to be a straight line at zero? Because the domain = {-10^-31,10^31}.
Increasing the domain to {-.25,.25} one can begin to see that the function f(x)=x^2 begins to concave from the origin.
Zooming out to domain = {-10,10} is where the function truly shows its form.
Do the same, but for earth.

You fucking idiot
>>67750518
not an argument
Still don't understand.

PS I'm not trying to fuck with anybody and I'm not that smart. Just trying to learn as best as I can.

Here comes the ultimate red pill. No one ever believed that the earth was flat, it's a myth that originated from Ludvig Holbergs play "Erasmus Montanus" from 1723. Historians have documented that people in generel was aware of the earths shape due to sailing. Sailors have always been able to see other ships in the horizont and to conclude from that, that the earth had to be flat.
Looks Flat to me...

The fucking kikes man but what's the goal?
>>67752128
Why do you always assume they're fat and bald? I mean, not everyone on this board is american you know.
Is this what being "red pilled" is all about these days?
>>67750345
You're a big planet.
>>67752531
Not really. If still according to the matrix, it's about cutting off your dick, dying your hair pink and stopping pills up your asshole.
You guys are worse than the dindus who says that White and Asians are mutated niggers

Kill yourself faggots

just stop fgt pls
>>67750299
If there isn't a curvature, what's preventing those high quality cameras from seeing farther?
Ralph Nader: 1
Tinfoil Guy: 0
>>67750299
If the earth were the size of a baseball it would be smoother than glass. What is the fucking use of using mt. everest as a reference point? If anything, it disproves your theo-holy shit i'm arguing with a flat earth retard
>>67752787
>be me
>want to hear the argument from both sides
>just wanting to make sure im informed enough to make a decision
>get shitposted on constantly
Seriously please just fucking leave. I'm reading every single one of these posts to try and make a decision. Honestly why do people like you shit on regular old threads?
Talking to you too.

>>67752946
You are part of the problem. The notion that both sides of an argument always ought to be treated equally is so absurd. Turn off your computer and go to bed, you should be ashamed.
Also I am a fucking pilot. That's why I'm so confused by this. Like how would magnets, gps, navigation of any sort, anything work in a flat earth?
That's what I'm wondering, not whether or not the jews made it up.
>>67753028
Honestly fuck off you goddamn faggot. Wanting to know the truth about shit is NOT the problem. I can think what I want, ask what I want, and read what I want. Kill yourself.
>>67749215
Flat earth can't explain a seismic shadow zone.
>>67753270
What is that?
Are you talking about P waves and S waves and aftershocks? or something else?
From what I can tell the only decent arguments are 1. there are some strange flight paths that take you out of the way which apparently would make sense on a flat model, and 2. Antarctica (which is the outer ring, aka the edge of the world) is heavily guarded by military and no one's ever fully explored it.
>>67753409
Source on the points especially the second one?
>>67749215
It's a sphere mate.
Have you ever been on a boat or a fucking plane?
The planet is round. I regularly fly to New Zealand because my family lives there. The plane flies high enough that I can see curvature of the Earth. Pic related.
If you go on a boat, you can see other boats pass the horizon.
>>67753561
Yeah I'm a pilot so I've flown many times and seen the curvature. Still wanted to hear the arguments for flat earth to see if it was possibly true.
>>67750299
>>67752095
>>67752169
nice shooped pics faggot
>>67753338
Ofcourse. Due to a certain refraction caused by the earth's internal structure, there'll be an area those waves won't be able to reach.

>>67753905
Ohhh okay. Can you explain how this changes from a sphere to a flat earth?
>>67753270
That's actually a pretty amazing argument. Found this when I got interested in your comment. Even the major flat earthers only have one tiny theory with no credibility: The waves, upon hitting the edge of the earth, bounce back and cancel each other out. Of course, it holds no water (haha, pun on S waves).
>>67752871
This is a good question for the flat-earth theorists: If the earth is flat, why do we see the horizon line at all?
the original meme scientist explains it pretty well

flat earth came from old sumerian folk tales, adapted by jews later when they rewrote sumerian myths into their torah.
they have some idea that in the sky was an iron or tin dome that held back lots of water which manifested as rain, but you couldn't get that idea today if you looked up.
that's why i think back then there was a really heavy, nearly permanent cloud cover, which made the sky look gray like metal, and gave them idea it's made of metal, and occassional rain gave them idea it held back water.
and then after some kind of cosmic catastrophe like an asteroid the cloud cover broke down and all of that rain water fell to earth, causing a worldwide flood which permeates all myths across the planet.
then when anu/yhwh "gave them the rainbow" it signified the end of cloud cover, end of the tropical climate and greenhouse effect and sunlight shone through for the first time, creating the prism called rainbow.
>>67750734
you don't deserve one
>>67754882
hmmm interesting. I know in the Bible it talks about the water above and the water below. Like the flood was the very first rain and before that the humidity was enough to sustain shit.
>>67755614
i don't exactly remember where, i think one of the psalms, but the bible also mentions an iron dome or something similar around the earth.
the earth is fuckin flat.
the media lied to us, the government brainwashed you all. fuckin sheep man
>>67755801
>calling me a sheep

Why even bother anymore
The earth isn't flat, anon. The earth is concave.
Welcome to the platinum pill
>>67756072
can you explain that a bit?
>>67756072
so that's why when i look up i can see america.
>>67756212
Basically we're all on the outside looking in
>>67756600
How does that fit in with satellites, space travel, and people drilling into the earth?
>>67756600
also dub dubs checked
>dindus are less evolved
>believing in jewolution
tip top kek
>>67749215
No. Science is mostly right, not sure about evolution and climate change though.
>>67754219
Even in a real flat world you would see the horizon simply because of how we process distances. at some point your focus point (which isn't infinite) will see as far as it can see and your brain will define it to be at said distance. As a simple show of this, look at the horizon standing up, then slowly put your head lower until you are at the grown level, still looking at the same horizon. You'll notice it will change, even if there are no trees. That said, if you had a super powerful camera, yo should technically be able to zoom to anything that isn't obstructed by something lower than you.
>>67749215
It's flat as fuck.
>>67749215
The earth is sphere-ish but several orders of magnitude larger than we are led to believe with a much more dramatic axial tilt
pretty obvious desu senpai
>>67754101
In general, geology of a flat -earth isn't something talked about in depth by anyone so I can't link you to anything of interest, so my half baked response will have to do:
Consider the article and why the shadow exist: if you were to put a flashlight against an inflated ballon, if nothing is in the middle it will produce a predictable light shape on the other side of the ballon in more or less a straight line. Things wouldn't be particularly different if you were to put it against an uninflated one, and you could even figure out some geometry that would allow it on a flat surface.
Now, consider a ballon with another, much darker ballon inside. If you were to shine a flashling on one side, a define, constant shadow would form on the other side of the ballon. No matter where you light it, the shadow would be of more or less the same size but just shift location and orientation because the darker ballon would always be there, no matter where you shine it. There is no geometry you can use to replicate this in a flat surface.
>>67756072
I hate this theory, even more so because Jewstiens unfounded "contributions" to sciencehave lead to it being feasible.
godamnit I hate the fuck out of albert.
>>67749215
Reminder that flat earth threads are being used as a subversion tactic to make people question the legitimacy of this board and to foster infighting.
Same as all those religion and anti abortion threads.
If Earth is flat why have I circumnavigated it and not fallen off? You can tell in these threads who has never been in the Navy or on open sea in general.
Now explain how satellites orbit the planet
>>67749215
Well, if anyone knows it'd be Braun, he's launched tons of missiles into space.
And his psalms quote supports a flat earth theory.
>>67758613
>not being anti-abortion
Enjoy tens of millions of dead White babies to support slut culture.
>>67749215
I of course not this whole flat earth shit is a Jewish meme to make us right wingers seem ignorant.

You're fucking retarded man.
If the Earth is flat, what's on the bottom?

>>67752946
You should be ashamed.
>>67749215
No. The people who believe this place double standards on the problem. They don't acknowledge how retrograde planetary motion exists. They say that the antartic circle should be the widest part of the globe (the outer rim), but they don't charter boats to prove it. No matter what scientists show or explain, it's not good enough if they don't experience it themselves, yet they refuse to get any kind of experience.
I can tolerate a lot of things that I think are stupid simply because the possibility, no matter how absurd, remains. But the flat earth theory is utter shit.
>>67755421
Yes, he does. If you do not fight bad ideas, they continue to propagate, specially in the age of the internet.
>>67761377

This flat earth horseshit needs to go.
It's just a shill shit for shills to jump on to subvert /pol/'s image even more.
Watch next time /pol/ garners any attention, any media outlet that mentions it will undoubtedly mention how we're just dumbasses who believe in flat earth theory.
Fuck this shit and fuck you OP.
>>67756676
works the same way they do now.
Except instead of launching satellites outward we're launching them inwards, and instead of drilling inwards we're drilling outwards.
>>67749215
>Is the earth flat /pol/?
No. Thread's over.
>>67761646
the only thing that will prove it is to go into space
>>67749215
No its not flat..
The shadow of the Earth on the Moon during an eclipse is a classic reason.
>>67762796
even in a flat earth there is space right?
I don't get the theory
>>67749215
>>67750299
I've seen some shit man...
There is no curvature. Not even in space.
>>67749215
No. We've sent bunches of people from different nationalities to space(meaning that if there was some big secret, someone would have spilled the beans by now), we have videos of Earth as the ISS orbits around, we can fly/sail the whole way around the world without falling off, and contrary to popular belief, the idea of a spherical Earth has been accepted by religious officials and educated individuals for a very long time. The circumference of the Earth was actually calculated somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd century BC with incredible accuracy (only 50 miles off from the current estimate) and the curvature of Earth can be observed without scientific studsy by watching ships disappear over the horizon.
The only way a flat Earth theory would be credible is if reality was just a simulation and physics, history, and all of the people around you are just part of the simulation. But that's even more tinfoil than believing the Earth is flat.
>>67753163

>fuck you, for calling me reatard
>>67753869
Have you ever flown in an airplane and looked out the window, only to see that the horizon is at your eye level and there is no significant curvature?
