Tires and scuba tanks are poor models for the earths atmosphere. Neither generate the same gravitational attraction as earth because are far less massive, and both of your examples are sealed on all sides. A sealed container will have equal pressure throughout, but earths atmosphere is not sealed by solid matter. The earths atmosphere is a balancing act between gravity pulling down and pressure pushing up.
gravity is a theory because it cannot be proven.
Tell me you don’t know what theories are without telling me you don’t know what theories are.
spin me a ball at speeds that shred oak trees and steel buildings and magically the water is pulled down.
What speed the earth spins at depends on what reference frame you’re using. From the perspective of oak trees and steel buildings, the earth doesn’t rotate at all relative to them. Furthermore, tangential velocity (the spin speeds flat earthers usually cite) is not useful when analyzing rotating objects; the far more important figure is angular velocity, which is used to calculate centrifugal force. Earths centrifugal force due to its spin is 0.033 m/s^2, compared to 9.81 for acceleration due to gravity. Gravity is over 290 times stronger. And that is at the equator, so the centripetal force decreases closer to the poles.
Imagine someone pushes you on a merry go round at a rate of one revolution per day. Not a very exciting ride, is it? That’s why the earths “insane rotating speeds” don’t matter, the earth spins at the exact same speed as that merry go round.
A bullet fired West is not going to be slammed back into the shooter because the shooter, gun, and bullet are all not moving relative to the earth before the bullet is fired. It’s for this reason that a bullet fired forward from a moving car doesn’t slam back into the car; the bullet was already traveling at the same speed as the car before it was fired. This idea is referred to as an inertial frame of reference.
So Qanon is ridiculous but flat earth isn’t? That’s a first. If anything Q has a lot more evidence in his favor than any flerfer.
The Bible has zero indication of agreeing with a flat earth model. Every alleged proof consists of flerfers retroactively reinterpreting cherry picked verses.
