Truest statement ever from someone who clearly knows cats. I had one that pushed every single thing off my coffee table every single night. I’d put it all back, and he did it again. It was a fun game for a long time. Amazing, interactive cat.
Maybe he's getting down voted because no legitimate person thinks that and it's not even worth mentioning. You try to inject FE into a discussion you're probably a glowfag, that's just how it be.
It's why Patrick Gunnels is my least favorite member of Badlands and I tend to avoid episodes that feature him unless someone else I want to hear is in it. He's fine when he keeps that stuff to himself but when he goes on a tirade about space and viruses not being real and the Earth being flat I reach for the skip button because I ain't here for that shit and it's not germain to the topic most of the time anyway.
Unfortunately, those who think the Earth is flat are either developmentally or educationally impaired, since there is no basis for such thinking---and that it has been disproven physically since the 1600s (been around, goes around). That and the fact that, since long ago, it has proved impossible to make an accurate map on the hypothesis that the Earth is flat. And there fore, Great Circle routes are the shortest distance between two points, map distortions to the contrary (airplanes are extremely sensitive to distance flown).
Same way the ancient Greeks figured it out, the angle to the sun at solar noon, measured at three latitudes on the same day of the year. The results can only be consistent with a round earth and distant sun.
Hell you don't even have to climb that high of a mountain to see a curve in the horizon either. The great lakes are another example but don't even need to go that big even Lake Tahoe has enough of a curve that you can't see across to the opposite shore if standing on the beach with binoculars.
True!
AND it is TRUE that the same experiment works with a local sun traveling around a flat plane much like the face of a clock. Spiraling in at the Tropic of Cancer during the summer solstice, and down to Capricorn for winter solstice. And unlike the spinning ball corkscrewing through space at 88 times the speed of at sound, every year on that particular date you do the stick experiment, you can look up at sky that night and see the same stars in the exact same position as they have been century after century. Wild, huh? I bet you never even thought of that before, have you?
The stick experiment (your way) would work only for two locations. For all other locations, it would give the wrong answer. All other locations would have parallel lines of sight to the sun, possible only on a spherical Earth. I mean, this has been figured out by astronomers making measurements. Why don't you do the math instead of the arm-wave?
Flat or globe, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
North of a mid-line, as the sun traverses the sky from E to W, it is observed to pass through South at local noon (give or take).
South of the same mid-line, the sun still rises in the E & sets in the W; however, at the mid point of its traverse it passes through North-ish at local noon.
Riddle me that, if we're on a 2D construct. I'll wait.
'made no sense' - to you. I've observed it myself when operating both N & S of the equator. Within, or close to the tropics, it's not so easy to tell if the noon sun is truly directly overhead or not, as the N or S effect is quite small. It's unmistakeable from higher latitudes.
There are also people who think the earth is flat. We still have a long way to go.
If the earth were truly flat, the cats would have pushed everything off the edge already.

Reply theft. Without attribution. You should do well, Glasshoppa.
People like Stew Peters out there saying the world is flat every other day on twitter, YUGE red flag.
The actual name is hilarious..
Hands up those who'd like to stew Peters.
Lol you're being downvoted. Long way to go.
Nasa lies ≠ flat earth.

Ignore ignorable nonsense.
Damn theres a lot of flat earthers here...

Q said FE was bullshit.
This is a Q forum.
Ergo, FE proselytes should frequent a pro-FE dedicated forum instead of here.
Anything beyond that is blatant psyop.
Do YOU know it’s a globe because of NASA “pictures”? How else would you say proves your smug understanding of the world we live on?

Maybe take off the coke bottles Poindexter!

What else do ya got?

I'll type slower for you in future.
