Flat earth

[Nasty]

Prob a repost, but as usual, I don't give a fuck.

http://theflatearthsociety.org/

Someone please explain this shit to me.

[Simmy]

This is what happens when you've done crack every day for 20 years.

[Barbarossa]

You discovered the 4th level of hell where the obliviously ignorant go when they die.

Please shut the door now.

Thanks.

[zakariaz]

Their stupidity skill is already at 100

now they only need to raise theyre ignorance skill the last few steps and theyre all set. Perhaps we should tell them that christianity is based on shrooms

[Teutates]

That FAQ cracked me up

[Gunther TheBlack]

That FAQ cracked me up

Q: "What about the stars, sun and moon and other planets? Are they flat too? What are they made of?"

A: The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator, located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions similar to a "spotlight," with the sun radiating "hot light," the moon "cold light." As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions.

This is fucking ridiculous! I literally yelled "What?!" at the screen jesus christ.... holy fuck.... clearly these people have never seen the light of day or googled Earth before! HOLY FUCK! And I thought people who over zealously believed in god were bad.

p.s. http://www.spacetoday.org/images/SolSys/Earth/EarthBlueMarbleWestTerra.jpg clearly shows the Earth is fucking ROUND.

holy shit... I did not need this... I really didn't.... I was in a good mood today.

that photo does NOT prove the earth is round. i believe this man successfully reputed that theory with impeccable logic:

The reason such alleged pictures of the world may appear as two dimensionl is not because the world is flat. The Earth is flat, but that is beside the point. The pictures are completely fake. A photograph of a globe is a two dimensional representation. Such a picture is what was posted on the windows of the room where Collins, Aldrin, and Armstrong were located in the moon hoax video broadcasted in the summer of 1969. This also applies to subsequent moon hoax videos filmed and broadcasted in the early 1970's as well as to fabricated pictures which are falsely said to be photographs taken by "orbiting satellites." The fact is that orbiting satellites are science fiction, and none of the photos were taken in "space," but manufactured on Earth by disinformation agencies like NASA which was founded to spread belief in fantasies like interstellar travel and orbiting satellites.

In some "photographs" of the world, nothing more is done than to use an aerial photograph of a clouded area and black out everything except a circle and present the finished product as a photograph of the world taken by an orbiting satellite. Photographs presented as pictures of the entire world are fake.

They should give their leader a free trip on spaceship two once they start shooting tourists into earth.

But i think he will still deny the earth is round then tho. Altho. It will disapprove his theory of the sun floating 3000 miles above earth, rofl.

I can imagine that to be quite a painfull experience. Well, after youve finished youve got a battered sausage to eat at least.

[Madrandomize]

[Gunther TheBlack]

I still wonder tho, how they explain those explorers that traveled across the antarctic.

Q: "Is this site for real?"

A: This site is real. There are people who seriously believe the Earth is flat. However, there are also people on this site who do not.

Q: "Why do you guys believe the Earth is flat?"

A: Well, it looks that way up close. Also, Samuel Rowbotham et al. performed a variety of experiments over a period of several years that show it must be flat. They are all explained in his book, which is linked at the top of this article.

I don't think so.

[Mordhak]

The funny thing is, it doesn't look flat at all. If it were flat, then how do you explain horizons?

Jeez. Some people.

[Spades Felligan]

How can they explain the reason why boats dissaper on the horizon?

For fuck's sake, even ancient people knew the earth was round, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. There even was a Greek philosopher (forgot which one) who calculated the Earth's circumference within 300 kilometers of the current measurement.

[Airius Droc]

Someone please explain this shit to me.

It's the future...

Someday my great grand kids will look back at websites and say "what's the 'free market' society?" and "what's the global warming is a hoax society?" and "what's the Ron Paul Revolution society?"

The ignorance that culminates in this thread is astounding. How can any of you honestly think the Earth is still round after reading their information? Forgive me if it sounds like I'm generalizing, but I can't help but think that you all just believe everything you're told, and accept the propaganda of a round Earth without question. It sickens me.

I find it hard to believe that people who live their whole life trusting in lies as blatantly obvious as the "Round Earth" lie will actually have a chance of going to Heaven. I say this because, in this day and age, only willful ignorance could cause people to still take this false information.

Don't get me wrong; I love everyone here, and would like to save them if possible. However, at this point, those who still think that Earth could be anything other than flat are pretty much doomed to Hell. The proof for a flat Earth is all around us. Those of you who can accept that fact may not be beyond saving after all. At least, I certainly hope so.

Wow gotta give them propz for theyre denial skill its nearing 100

I'm going to see if I can stir up any interest in mounting an expedition to the ice wall to determine the truth once and for all. If we don't come back, presumably the world government has killed us and they were right. If we do come full circle then clearly they were wrong. I'm off, no time to lose, I'll go and get my hot air balloon warmed up.

But ye you just trolled this place awesomly (discusting pictures that you sent in)

[DR.NUMBERS]

It is done...

"Sirs and Madams,

I represent a group of entrepreneurs and academics open to alternative scientific theory. The claims made on these forums and upheld by your members around the world have recently sparked interest with several of my colleagues and we have now arranged independent funding to discover the truth once and for all.

We propose an expedition, to the supposed edge of the earth, the ice wall. At this point in time we propose the expedition should be carried out by hot air balloon as it has the endurance for long journeys, can avoid popular shipping routes and can be difficult to detect with radar.

I have come to ask you to choose three of your proponents, preferably the most academically achieved or published, and request their accompaniment.

This mission cannot fail. If we reach the ice wall and return, we will know the truth. If we fail to return, it is a sign the world government has eliminated us and the rest will know the truth. If we come full circle, then there was no ice wall and we shall know the truth.

I await your reply,

I am &c,

the Doctor."

Government


Q: "Why do the all the world Governments say the Earth is round?"

A: It's a conspiracy

Q: "What about NASA? Don't they have photos to prove that the Earth is round?"

A: NASA is part of the conspiracy too. The photos are faked.

Q: "Why has no-one taken a photo of the Earth that proves it is flat?"

A: The government prevents people from getting close enough to the Ice Wall to take a picture.

Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?"

A: Since NASA did not send rockets into space, they instead spent the money on developing advanced computers and imaging software instead

I think this is the worst conspiracy theory I've ever heard.

Apparently, there's a huge ice wall that surrounds us and it's being patrolled by the eeeeevil governments of the world.

[Marrik]

but... WHY?


why, if the earth is flat, would the governments want to keep it secret? wtf possible reason could they have had to begin this vast conspiracy to make us think we live on a globe in the first place? what purpose does that serve?

The kingdom of Heaven is open to all.Those who don't take the Holy Bible as literal fact don't truly accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. Yes, this does include the obvious references to a flat, square Earth. Trust me, I would love for all of these fools to achieve salvation with the smarter of us, but they need to have the faith in God's words for that to happen. I believe that even the most loving God (like our own) would have trouble accepting the blinded "Round Earth" sheep into His holy kingdom. All would be well if their sheep mentality led them to the truth; but I think we can all agree that the Devil is, for all the evil he's done, a remarkably skilled shepherd.but... WHY?

It's because they're the government. They suppress information because they can. The more we know of the truth, the less power they hold over the masses. Knowledge is power, and the government and the Devil know that better than anyone. They are undoubtedly attempting to lead the weak-minded and groupthink-oriented into eternal damnation, just so that they may exercise their unlimited power over the sheep of the world for the short time they have on this Earth. Hell awaits them too for these acts, so they have nothing more to lose by hiding, cheating, and stealing from the general public. This is just one such example.

Q: so... why is there pictures of the earth being round?

A: these were faked in a studio by george bush, who is secretly working with nasa to make sure that people dont stumble into their secret testing facilities on the other side of the ice wall near the borders of the earth.

[Spart]

Q: How come when I flush my toilet in the northern hemisphere it goes counterclockwise but I have this friend in Australia and when he flushes it goes clockwise?

You're mistaken. On a round Earth, the Coriolis effect adds at most one (counter)clockwise rotation per day; fewer as you get closer to the equator. The water in your toilet/sink/bathtub/funnel spins much faster than that (probably at least once per minute, or 1440 times per day) so the additional/lost rotation from the Coriolis effect wouldn't be noticed.


Single best FAQ possible. All the others had some weird answer that completely relied on you being an idiot and thus believing the crap they told you. This one just plain told you that you were wrong however, which I thought was awesome.

[xKilljoy187]

The sun and moon, each 32 miles in diameter, circle Earth at a height of 3000 miles at its equator, located midway between the North Pole and the ice wall. Each functions similar to a "spotlight," with the sun radiating "hot light," the moon "cold light." As they are spotlights, they only give light out over a certain are which explains why some parts of the Earth are dark when others are light. Their apparent rising and setting are caused by optical illusions.

[Nefastus]

I'm wondering if it's a website full of trolls, or if it's just one troll supertrolling and making a whole forum believe in something that is so obviously wrong.

The way I see it is that originally few trolls came up with an idea to do some epic troll, and they made that website. Eventually, over time, they managed to troll enough people who actually believe in this bullshit to become regulars there. Once they got enough idiots believing that shit, it just rolled down the hill.

I mean, it's obvious it's a Troll. Whoever started that website did a fine job at trolling. They actually managed to get a following of people believing the bullshit they are spilling there.

Come on, it's rather fucking obvious intelligent people aren't so imbecile to believe that. If you actually look at the forums, the few who are in charge of the place are obvious trolls. No doubt in my mind.

What's hilarious is that there are actually people who felt for it.

[Crysill]

If there is anything I have learned on internet message boards it is that there is no convincing the willfully ignorant.You're probably right, but your statement doesn't really make sense in reference to your quote.

If he had asked for somebody to prove to him that Earth was flat (like a few sheep in this thread had asked), then it would make sense to say "no convincing the willfully ignorant". I can only think you misunderstood his request; he wanted somebody to prove the Earth is round, which the die-hard "Round Earth"ers have yet to do.

Your attempt at satire failed due to that error. The evidence for a Flat Earth is overwhelming, yet the evidence for a Round Earth dwindles as the conspirators' lies fall apart under our scrutiny.

Q: "Why do the all the world Governments say the Earth is round?"

A: It's a conspiracy

Q: "What about NASA? Don't they have photos to prove that the Earth is round?"

A: NASA is part of the conspiracy too. The photos are faked.

Q: "Why has no-one taken a photo of the Earth that proves it is flat?"

A: The government prevents people from getting close enough to the Ice Wall to take a picture.

Q: "How did NASA create these images with the computer technology available at the time?"

A: Since NASA did not send rockets into space, they instead spent the money on developing advanced computers and imaging software instead

No, no, no.:lmao: That's just...:lmao: That site is even better than the Hello Kitty forums!

You're probably right, but your statement doesn't really make sense in reference to your quote.
If one is convinced in this day and age that the world is flat, they either have been living in a hole in the ground without internet access for their entire life or they are willfully ignorant. The former couldn't post on a message board.

If he had asked for somebody to prove to him that Earth was flat (like a few sheep in this thread had asked), then it would make sense to say "no convincing the willfully ignorant". I can only think you misunderstood his request; he wanted somebody to prove the Earth is round, which the die-hard "Round Earth"ers have yet to do.
This is my point. The willfully ignorant cannot be convinced, so why bother?

[Llyr]

Pretty sure it's one huge troll site.

Some people are trolling it pretty well regardless though haha, 'monkeybradders' is excellent:

Yes, there's a maintenance hatch in Dubai. All world leaders have a key that is made from the Unicorn bones."

[Llyr]

Haha ok wow, just discovered the site founder is a friend of a friend of mine.

It was indeed set up as a joke, and as far as he knows (the site owner) most of the regular posters are also trolls.

Apparently he runs a flat earth society at his school, which is pretty much the source of all the fake images and ideas on the site.

[Curcio]

This discussion cracks me up. I love seeing the true potential of the Human race's ability for ignorance and stupidity. Makes me look forward to our doomsday.

[Fudgy_Neeples]

These people are seriously retarded. I just read their fact and explanations and all of them were things such as "it's somehow a conspiracy", "we can't prove it because the government won't let us", or just plain bull. How can one honestly believe a claim when there's no real scientific evidence behind it?

I do, however, think that some of those "Round Earth" believers can be saved with our scientific knowledge, but holychicken may be right that a lot of those who think the Earth is spherical are simply choosing to stay ignorant for their own comfort or fear of change.

Well even if the earth was flat I would have no problem with believing the "conspiracy". I actually don't gave a shit whether the earth is flat or round.
The "Round Earth guys" have a more convincing story and most people believe them so why should I believe the world is flat?
I'd rather be ignorant and with the sane people than be smart and know "the truth". Because if your believe in the Flat Earth then everyone thinks you are a retard, and "knowing the truth" doesn't help me one bit.

Round Earth ftw

Round Earth ftwThis is the mentality I was referring to in my last post. Don't get me wrong, friend; I don't have a problem with you or your way of thinking, but it is troublesome that a majority of the population thinks the way you do. This "comfort instead of truth" philosophy is highly detrimental to science and the progression of mankind.

You can believe whatever you want, but humanity as a whole would be much better if people would spend more time questioning even the most widely held beliefs in the face of evidence to the contrary. I believe this applies best to the "Round vs. Flat Earth" debate.

At the risk of making it seem like I'm imposing my views upon you: I think you shouldn't care so much about what other people think of you or of your beliefs. In all of history the truth has been resisted by the majority of the population, only to finally prevail due to the willpower, knowledge, and experiments of those who were scoffed at. You should only concern yourself with the facts, because these "Round Earth"ers who would laugh at you now will, in 20 years' time, be ridiculed at the mercy of our history books. They aren't worth your consideration in choosing what to believe.

I honestly want to go on a plane that is heading directly west, and keep a camera going the entire time, then when I get back to the place I started, I will post the video on that site.

Anyone want to help?

Its proven that the earth is round for over 2000 years now. I guess that site is full of trolls and mentally retarded people.

Anyone want to help?You mean if you get back to the place you started, which is unlikely. That's irrelevant though, and our conflicting beliefs aside, I would love to help you, but I value my life too much. A mission like this is a death wish, because if the government doesn't destroy you first, you will surely die once you fall off the edge of the Earth.

[Dwhap]

This site HAS to be a joke. There is no way anyone with enough knowlege to use a computer and the Internet to create a website to honestly believe the world is flat.

well, if it was flat "god" could have made addons :lmao:

In order to reach a southern edge you'd have to go, well, south.

This would hold true for any flat world with a magnetic north centered on the center of the plane.


If the earth was flat it would be a hexagon, nature loves that shape.

Um, wouldn't a westward/eastward journey on a flat, circular earth (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/79/Flat_earth.jpg) cause you to return to your point of origin due to you simply flying parallel to the edge the entire time? In order to reach a southern edge you'd have to go, well, south.(Assuming a circular, flat Earth for the sake of this paragraph, even though my belief slightly differs) That would be true, if he meant he were to always travel West. That would, of course, require constant correction as "West" is always completely relative to your position. The way he phrased his sentence seemed to imply that the plane, once set to its direction, would not change course so that it may continue to go West, but instead travel straight (which a "Round Earth"er usually thinks should continue to be West).

That said, I personally believe in a perfectly Square Earth. While it is obvious that the Earth is flat, the shape is not entirely unanimous. Regardless, my point remains the same: Traveling West would eventually cause you to go back where you were, but if you were to "go on a plane heading West" and allow it to continue to travel in the same direction, you would ultimately go South and right off the edge of the Earth.

That's really strange coming from the mouth of a troll.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth

There troll get some education.

The concept of a spherical Earth dates back to around the 6th century BC in ancient Greek philosophy[1] and possibly ancient Indian philosophy.[2]Because everyone knows the theories of 500+ BC are the most accurate depictions of reality. Honestly, I stopped reading there; Wikipedia's very closely censored by government conspirators anyway. They make you think you can make your edits, but ultimately they decide what will (lies and conspiracies) and won't (truth and enlightenment) be published on their site. They just filter it through you. I know this because every rational and sane edit I've made was almost instantly reverted. That's pretty damn suspicious, if you ask me.

Please, all I ask is that people provide a reliable source when making their extraordinary claims about the Earth's shape. Don't think badly of me for saying this, but without such sources, I can't help but think you're just a bunch of trolls trying to trick me. If that's the case, I suppose it worked, so enjoy your little laugh. Still, since I want to assume good faith on your part, I will continue to argue: If the idea of a "Round Earth" is as "proven" as many seem to claim, why has nobody given me evidence of such? Seems like people are just following the crowd for the sake of following the crowd, which is, in my humble opinion, a very dangerous way of thinking. If I may, I would like to make note of the fact that that is the mentality of the German citizens that brought Hitler into power and kept him there.

So what's on the underside of the flat earth?shnedit answered you very well, despite the seemingly derogatory tone I felt when you were called an 'unbeliever'. I'm sure he has his own legitimate reasons for being frustrated, so don't let that taint your view of the believers, or hinder your path to truth which all unbelievers eventually face the decision to walk upon. :)

To get to the point: Yes, I have no doubt that Hell is what's under the Earth.

[Fledrel]

The sad part is, that it is completely impossible to "prove" the Earth is round. Even if you take them to space they could claim that is just a "ride" like in disney world. Or if you try to fly them around they will say you flew around the edge or turned around while they slept. We had a debate in high school years ago, and I had the luxury of the flat earth side, It really is impossible to prove that it isn't... Yet some things Are impossible to "prove" yet we know it anyway.

Round Earth ftw. It makes more sense. see Occam's razor.

[Badem]

The world is actually a in the outer edges of the milky way, this in itself is enclosed in a marble...
Aliens are currently playing marbles with our galaxy......on Orions Belt......

Maybe some people just prove with stupid crap like this why they need to be taken into space then vented from the shuttle to proce the earth is round and space does hurt....

[GRCPan]

Do they believe that the moon is made of cheese too?

Around 330 BC, Aristotle provided observational evidence for the spherical Earth, noting that travelers going south see southern constellations rise higher above the horizon. He argued that this was only possible if their horizon was at an angle to northerners' horizon and thus the Earth's surface could not be flat. He also noted that the border of the shadow of Earth on the Moon during the partial phase of a lunar eclipse is always circular, no matter how high the Moon is over the horizon. Only a sphere casts a circular shadow in every direction, whereas a circular disk casts an elliptical shadow in all directions apart from directly above and directly below.

This is valid proof. Now show us your proof that earth is flat.
