I like how the video "proof" itself has jk at the end and is by a probably fake account.

They don't think it be like it is, but it do.

I wish you guys could have seen my face it was like taking a whale sized shit after spicy burrito night covered in barbed wire
bovinious
i don't want to live on this planet anymore.
DisgruntledFerret
Well good luck leaving it, because apparently it's not a round planet like all the ones we observe in outer space.
necrosin
Lmfao I know this person! Reading the full thread right now on facebook! Its so much worse
kittytheface
hahaha :D
SuccesfulFailure
People like this should be used as test subjects for medicine and shampoo and shit.
roflsnake
The problem with democracy is that that person's vote is worth just as much as yours
PutThatDown
My aunt believes the moon landings were faked. So frustrating and it makes me sad...
Squigglyline91
My dad believes they were fake too... I've tried explaining to him how the conspiracies are wrong and he wont buy it...
kittytheface
My dad told me that the moonlandings were fake, I asked him where he heard that and he literally said: "I saw it on facebook:
MadScientistInTraining
the idiots are rising
maxalert
I feel like these people don't deserve to have their names redacted.
librarynerd
Amen. It's scary that they vote though.
MoonShooter
I want to believe this is a troll, but the thing is people like this exist.
PleaseDaddyMayIHaveAnother
This is why I think you should apply for licence to reproduce.
OverlyCynicalImgurian
There's a word for that. Eugenics.
Anriasia
Or, instead of wasting money on that, we can put it toward educating said offspring adequately. Considering this is the root of the issue.
khuan
Because you assume that the people who think like this will be the ones who don't control those licences?
Canadiandustbin
I love how so many Americans think this. "Regulate who can give birth" "what about gun control" "fuck you, freedom hater"
missing7
What about our current gun control laws do you think should be changed?
PleaseDaddyMayIHaveAnother
Guns just aren't that scary. Unless you live in a terrible neighborhood surrounded by the uneducated. Most people I know have them and 1/2
Canadiandustbin
I'm talking about regulation. People are willing to approve telling someone they can't have kids but not telling them they can't have a gun
PleaseDaddyMayIHaveAnother
Plenty of states have regulations and they change regularly. I'm fine with tighter control even, but seriously they aren't that big a deal.
Canadiandustbin
Are we talking about children from unfit parents? Or guns? Or both?
missing7
What about our current gun control laws do you think should be changed?
missing7
Why was this downvoted? It was an honest question.
Canadiandustbin
Elimination of fully auto weapons. Required PROPER registration and elimination of guns shows. Required gun safety courses for owners.
missing7
(3) Gun safety courses are required in most states for concealed carry license and hunting licenses.
missing7
(2) What do you define as proper reg? Most people have to pass background checks even to purchase rifles.
missing7
(1)Why eliminated full auto capable weapons? They're already heavily regulated and most people can't afford them.
Canadiandustbin
Why would you need to own one? I mean what are they used for?
PleaseDaddyMayIHaveAnother
The only deaths caused by them have been deer, 3and a suicide which is tragic but would have happened without guns anyways.
DickDastardly404
But you can SEE the curvature of the earth in some places.
zxms
I have yet to see theflatearthsociety.org explain how stars move clockwise in the S. hemisphere, counterclockwise in the N. hemisphere.
favdumpthrowaway
Well duh, you're just facing the other way. Spin 180° and the sky moves the other way on both hemispheres.
MasterOfEntropy
Simple, just use a different coordinate system. Similarly, you can also show that the Sun revolves around the Earth.
morphire
They don't need to. That's the thing about crazy people.
IdownvotePeopleWhoComplainAboutDownvoters
I do like the explanation about the ice wall littered with snipers and trained attack penguins.
crumbhustler
Check out quackwatch.com Lists tons of shit science knows is wrong but people buy into.
Emjayen
I remember that site. After browsing the forum for awhile it would appear most of it's denizens are people trying to educate the crazies.
passerdomesticus
You mean how space is invisible mind dust and stars are but wishes?
kkanne20
how do they explain that the curve of the earth can literally be SEEN WITH THEIR OWN EYES from a decent vantage point? LOL
AutumnAtArcadeCity
Try tfes.org. Much more friendly and wise. :P
StereotypicalMurican
Or to explain why the horizon curves down, and why ships seem to disappear from the bottom up the further away it goes.
SayIAmYou
Or mountains appearing from the top down
Xeynid
Pretty much the entirety of their explanation makes no physical sense.
IHatePickingUsernamesThisMuch
How do they even explain hemispheres for that matter?
hipsterhank
I didn't know these were real people until I met one & he tried convincing me. I wish I knew enough physics to have properly argued w/ him.
ItsGoTime
Is that really a thing?
TanGoon
Yes, stars actually do move- oh.
RoboCritter
http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/ yes it's real.
TanGoon
Yes, stars actually do move- oh.
Valharroth
People believe strange things. I believe strange things. Everything is a thing to someone.
WhereDidILoseMyPants
I listen to Coast to Coast AM radio and about 2 weeks ago the dude was on. . Look it up it's the weirdest shit
BrentCraft
The reason they give is the entire sky is rotating the same direction if you go to the southern it's only going counter from the point(1/2)
BrentCraft
Of the South pole but their is no axis in the south for the flat earthers to rotate around. The stars are still going the same direction.
Narushima
Stars don't exist. It's just light projected on a black tapestry woven by the Zurich dwarves!
myvulvaissmootherthanavealcutlet
Even the Zurich dwarves are lies. They're actually all in Basel.
phlat6
Yeah, the ones in Zurich are gnomes.
Koshunae
Basel is a lie
mrhoot
Are we talking Basel city or Basel countryside.
mrhoot
Are we talking Basel city or Basel countryside.
donkeykicksmanass
Or why an observer can't see Polaris from the southern hemisphere. I made the mistake of arguing with one of these people. Never again.
kaiserlongbone
Never wrestle a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it.
PhilTheFluffiestDogOnTheInternet
Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. He will shit on the board, and then parade around like he thinks he won.
Sniper08
Woah there, you're not giving pigeons enough credit.
PhilTheFluffiestDogOnTheInternet
you are right, chicken then
Sniper08
And by that i mean, pigeons are smarter than you give them credit for ;3.
Sniper08
So comparing people like this to pigeons is unfair to the pigeons ;p
TootsMyBoots
Jennifer ?
EcstasyOnDrugs
technically it's not round, it's very lumpy. if it was a perfect sphere humans wouldn't be here
cjackc
If you were to shrink it to the size of a pool ball it would be more smooth so it isn't that u round or u smooth.
Curiousone545
Correct- The Earth is a Geoid. As in, gravity shapes our planets shape. http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/GRACE/page3.php
Curiousone545
Also, we see it as round ,because water appears "smooth", and thus gives us the "round"/Spherical shape we see from space (ISS) TMYK :D
Mercalus
How come?
EcstasyOnDrugs
Oh, something about the atmosphere pressure, not allowing us to breathe and be born or some shit like that.
OnyZ
No oceans, rivers, etc. If there was still water, it would be evenly distributed. Life probably, humans no.
Crashdlanding

Bot17629A98001

jimcake
But uh, you can see Earth's shadow on the moon
LokiKingOfJotunheim
I sincerely hope they were just trolling the shit out of you and not actually that fucking stupid :( Then I remember those people are real
DonaldTrumpsNanoDick
My question is wtf do these people think is on the other side of the earth, a giant turtle and four fucking elephants??
ItsJustRocketScience
Because of the way gravity works on a disc, gravity is assumed to not exist, it's just the disc accelerating up. So probably a giant fan.
LiquidUranium
Terreh plz
Smenj
On top of infinite turtles
jimwormmaster
Reference game on point.

BaxtersSoup
I just remembered he's dead and now I'm sad :(
DonaldTrumpsNanoDick
Sorry man, me too :(

Yep, sad as well. We've lost so many greats...Pratchett, Adams...

Flat earth groups are 50% trolls making satirising the very idea of 'facts' and 'consensus'; and 50% cranks taking it completely seriously.
PayedForWinrar
Poe's law in action.
zxms
I see it as an exercise in debate, like taking playing devil's advocate to a whole new level
BuddhaBot
Technically they're right that it's not completely spherical , it's more of a swollen oval shape that constantly morphs
GrandPoobahDeDoinkOfAllOfThisAndThat
Round dosn't necessarily mean spherical though.
itsnotthoughisit
It's an oblate ellipsoid, and where did anyone claim it was spherical? Ellipsoids seem pretty round to me!
Berethian
They're right that it's not round. They are not right that it's flat.
Scando
Basically an effing potato.
FunshineBear
The deviation from sphericity in the Earth is less than that for a pool ball, though.
cjackc
Correct. If you shrink the earth down to a pool ball it would be smoother also
OfficialAnswer
The earth would be more than two times more rough than an undamaged pool ball.
Demnwarrior7
still round though.
DarkNinja2462
oblate spheroid
IconicM
Came here to say this.
kittytheface
I've just deleted a picture off this thread and I have no idea how, or how to get it back! :/
MyNameIsJesusAndIStealHubcapsFromCars
just re-upload it unpublished then link it to this comment with a reply.
kittytheface
I went on my laptop and uploaded the last pic and then just added it back to the album.. :D inner nerd helped me out there.
Dominian
I read some pretty elaborate insane conspiracy theories on youtube comments of ISS videos I watched. People are so fucking retarded at times
Aceturner
Send them to this page maybe there die from there stupidity

nice. thanks.
HeroWeDeserve
The important part though, is that you joined us. Welcome!!
Jameszombob
dont argue with flat earthers. it will drive you insane, i speak from personal experience. youll never convince them.
kawaiibrah
Just follow the map so you go to where you already where so you know how to get to where you started.
kittytheface
Yay I fixed it :D
swiftshiv
proud of you :D
gerby123
You're right; that is the best part!
zxms
I came back and saw an extra picture, and I thought I was crazy!
kittytheface
My apologies :D
sillypoopies
So this actually HAPPENED? Some people's kids...
HeroWeDeserve
If it's an album, you should be able to add it back. Or you may have to republish. I can't do shit from mobile, that I do know.
kittytheface
I am on mobile.. sigh... was the best part too! That's what I get for being a noob at posting..
HeroWeDeserve
You'll get there. Probably deleted an "unpublished" pic, that was outside the album? I too, learned the hard way, it removes it from the 1/2
MooseKisses
I too have learned this the hard way
kittytheface
OMG that's exactly what I did. Fudge.
IWasInsufferableIn2017
GRIS says it's OC. We'll be waiting for that last pic, OP.
