What is going on in the NBA? Is it just epic trolling by all these guys?

I really hope so, but if not. Wow.

I saw somewhere that there's a ring of ice around the edge, and that's why all of the water from the ocean doesn't fall off.

I actually wrote a paper on flat Earthers for a history of astronomy class once.

Have any of these flat Earth dinguses ever explained what the edge of the world is and what happens if something falls off?

From what I understand, the main belief is that it's ice stretching into infinity.

It teleports to the other side of the world. It's like if you took a flat sheet and then connected the two ends together to form a loop. It's still a flat sheet, but now it loops on itself forever. And this happens for all the sides (an infinite number of sides actually), so you can't really "go off the edge".

Of course you can, you just have to outrun the teleporter.

I saw somewhere that there's a ring of ice around the edge, and that's why all of the water from the ocean doesn't fall off.


which also proves why climate change is bad. As Antarctica melts, being the ice ring and all, it will start to act as a broken dam and the ocean will start to leak and eventually drain out into space and then we all die

false, the ice is infinite. If it melts it just gives us more earth.

So many issues with a flat earth. differing star maps, observable locations of the moon using simple trigonometry, flight plans that wouldn't work, other celestial objects being spheroidal, and the list goes on.

Martymer actually has a pretty nice series of videos covering a lot of the finer details about why a flat earth just doesn't match up to anything we know about physics, even if we try and play by the rules flat earthers provide. The amount of adjustments to the sky to account for all the types of motion that goes on is a hoot.

This is what I am thinking. Shaq is a funny dude, but at the same time, it's scary the amount of people that actually believe this. Like for real believe it.
