Poll of the Day > You do not know that the Earth is not flat because you have never seen it.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Unless you go up into space and look at it, you can not say that the Earth is not flat. You are just trusting the word of someone else. You don't actually know it yourself.

It'll still look flat from outer space

Yo momma's flat lmao

I know it's not flat because I walked in a straight line across it once. If it had been flat, I would have fallen off the edge.

Yes, I trust the word of not only experts but billions of people and even those who have been to space. if the world was flat them why would they hide it? On the other hand, you havent been up there. How do you know the world isn't flat? Or are you just desperate to be "Unique"?

There are ways you can infer that the Earth is round without going into space:

http://crosstalk.cell.com/blog/seven-ways-to-prove-earth-is-round

I know the earth is round because time zones exist . A flat earth woukd have just one single time zone across the world. And I know time zones are a thing because I have experienced it on long flights halfway around the globe like when I went to Asia 2 different times. Or talking to people online or on a phone far away and them telling me it's a different time where they are

Also I know from basic scientific understanding that likely there exists no flat planet in rhe universe because it would be an illogical shape for a world. For multiple reasons. This is also why I know earth isn't hollow, as much as it would be cool of it was...

I mean dude lived his dream, he wanted to launch his own rocket for his entire life. Prob better to live the dream than die never even trying.

I'm also not sure how you claim he is a flat earther just because he wanted to launch a rocket.

Try reading up on him just a tiny bit more? He was attempting to 'prove' that the world is flat, he built a shitty rocket, his shitty friends enabled his idiotic fantasies along with the 'Science' Channel (for profit) and he died. If I'm supposed to respect 'dreams' that are a suicidal fart in the wind, I'm afraid I disagree.

You could have posted an actual article that makes that point, instead of just posting a video that makes no mention of that.

Funny when people act like they are massively offended since I didn't spend 5ish more minutes beyond watching the video researching this guy.

I said he was a flat-earther in a flat-earther topic. If you have a gram of curiosity, you would take the literal 30 secondsish to type his name in, and see the information available. I'm not offended whatsoever, I'm used to this kind of behaviour. You want me to do the legwork when you baselessly claim I'm wrong about something? Alright, you brat.

Of course, reading is far quicker, and most of the headlines involving him contain information regarding him being a flat-earther, even though his goof-ass friend claimed otherwise after his death, so as to continue riding the media.

Dude acts like he isn't mad then gets super pissed that I have the gaul to respond to him. GFaq's where a ton of assholes post here but then try to pretend they are good guys.

I guess to me flat earthers are of such little consequence I can't even remember their name, I watched a documentary that interviewed multiple Flat Earthers and goes in-depth into their lives and beliefs and here we are 4ish months later and I can't remember a single one of their names.

the earth is 100% flat

i cant believe so many people believe in the lies NASA tells. what kind of fucking sense do round planets make in a universe defined by GRAVITY? NONE, thats what kind.

You 'wouldn't be surprised', however, it does, so that is completely irrelevant. Who cares about what someone might be surprised by if said thing is not true. I posted a video about a guy who built homemade rockets to prove the earth is flat. I'm stating that I think he was an idiot. Someone thought he might not be a flat-earther? But he is, because he's said he is. People don't like spending 30 seconds to learn things that they question. Is this difficult?

Ancient Greeks solved this with math and two towering structures on opposing ends of the land. Math and tools have evolved over the millennia. The problem is that flat earthers continue to get on their soap box and deny every piece of evidence, often offering non-evidence or anti-logic in its place. No, we are not flat. Stop it, or fund a damned expedition to your alleged edge that every sane person tells you does not exist. I hear Australia is a good place to launch such an expedition; or maybe New Zealand.

Except nobody really knew until you had to give information. the videos relevance came once you explained it.

No, I'd just expect you to post the article or at least state "You actually have to look up mire info to get the relevance". What you relied on was something I'm guessing you regularly do, but we're not you. Like I said, its easier for everyone if you just link the article next time.

In the other flat-earther topics, hes always brought up. So many people already know. Which is why a lot of people dont really ask about it. They had long we videos, too. Like the ones with him talking and stuff

This is true. People say someones name. And rather than Google the person, they immediately say who for whatever reason

False. A good amount of people in this topic were in the other topic where we talked about this guy, IIRC. Many people already knew, even if not everybody

Doesn't matter. Don't expect people to look up more info, especially rather than ask you how its relevant.

This would be a good point if they mentioned it, but instead they decided to say how we should look up more info for the sake of our curiosity.

I also have never seen my pancreas, but I believe I have one. Weird Al explained it to me.

If the point of flat earthers it to say that anything you cant see yourself is uncertainfine, I guess. However, if you go through life doubting things that many people who you judge to be reliable tell you are trueyoure going to have a tough go of it. How do you know cats cant be dried in the microwave?

Sure. But the other person is the one who asked about the person being a flat-earther. Where ReturnOfFa was posting a video about a flat-earther. Fa probably didn't even know that Monopoman didn't know about that guy. Or that they would ask how they knew he was a flat-earther. Especially since it's sort of a common topic. And that guy's video has been in pretty much every flat-earther topic... That said, Fa probably didn't care in Monopoman believed them or not. Monopomon not knowing doesn't make Hughes any less of a flat-earther...

BigBangBro posted...

Just because they didn't mention it doesn't make it any less of a good point. You just assumed that nobody actually knew. They most likely did as nobody else really questioned it, since many most likely knew... But maybe you should look it up. I mean, it wouldn't have been hard to type in Mike Hughes, or Mad Mike Hughes into Google if you or the other guy didn't know who it was. It would have been faster, too. Instead, they decided to post back, wait for Fa to read it, and make Fa go find an article and post it. When typing that name into Google would have taken like less than 10 seconds... Instead of taking 5 seconds to look something up, they waited 7 and a half minutes because they wanted to complain... Maybe longer, depending on when they read the reply...

Hi! Im tired and i dont like arguments but I already posted with my alt, so me not responding would look quite dumb
Like I said Im tired and I would rather clear this up than read that and argue, even if Ill scoff at this and call it a moment of weakness when I awaken tomorrow
Sorry about this mess! Also youre probably confused why Im on this account, it has a nicer personality so its easier to apologize. I use it quite often.
And sorry to you too, @Monopoman , though I must politely ask, next time just post the article with it so people wont question it, it makes the whole thing a lot more simple. Sorry if I was a bit rude though
