So whats the moon then?

submitted by ButtToucha9000 to whatever 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 04:56:42 ago (+12/-4)     (whatever)

If the earth is flat, what the hell is the moon? Is it just a cheese floating in a soup? Why does it have phases? Is it bobbing in and out of the soup like a lumpy potato? How do eclipses work?

Nobody thinks the flat earthers are for real do they?

I think much like the cult of Scientology, you have a handful of con-men who have managed to convince a lot of very stupid people. Then, like any other nonsense, the stupid people managed to convince other people who maybe were less stupid and more ignorant.
Story could be claimed of any religion as well.

Yeah except the cult of Scientology is actually making money off of their scam... What's the cui bono for those flat earth "con-men"

Discredit by association is their goal. Flood a site with flat-tard bullshit, then the normies can point to it and exclaim "See! These idiots believe the Earth is flat! If they're that stupid, then NOTHING they have to say is credible!"

Exactly. Surprised not everyone knew this already but it's worth repeating.

That's why you have a religion that's isn't too crazy, to keep them from all the freudian based abuse cults.

Yes we are 100% for real. You've been deceived into believing a false reality since you were a child. Time to wake up and see the real world.

Most of the flatties online are trolling. But I know of two who believe it irl.

One is a dumbass and the other is a half-nigger

Additional questions for flat tards: Why do the sun and moon rise/set beyond the horizon? Would they not just fly off into the distance getting smaller and smaller until invisible? Why does everyone see the same face of the moon regardless of where they are located?
How can Australia and South America both have 20 hour long days while Alaska is in 24 hour complete darkness.

[ - ] JudyStroyer 2 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 08:52:24 ago (+2/-0)

Yeah, the sunset thing was something that i thought the flat earth people couldnt really explain. A lot of the other stuff seems potentially valid, but I definitely get hung up on the sun/moon setting and rising explanation. Doesnt fit what I see.

[ - ] throwawayaccount 3 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 09:51:37 ago (+3/-0)

Other good things they can't explain is why people in SA, Aus, and Africa can all see the Southern Cross despite the fact if (according to the flat earth model) they were to look South, they would all be facing different directions. Also the fact that Notherners can't see it. Same reason Southerners cannot see Polaris.
Additionally, watch a time lapse of the night sky from the southern hemisphere and you will see the stars rotate clockwise. Watch one from the northern hemisphere and you will see the stars rotate counter clockwise.
This would make zero sense on a flat earth because everyone would be looking up at the same sky.

[ - ] nephileon -1 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 13:41:11 ago (+0/-1)

the sky has a horizon just like the earth does. The scales are much larger for the sky horizon (IE the sun has to get 1000's of miles further away) but its the same reason you can't see streetlights over the horizon (but again, the horizon isn't caused by the curvature of the earth, but at some distance it becomes too far away and blocked by the closer objects.)

The mistake you're making is believing they'll respond in good faith.

These people have no integrity.

[ - ] nephileon 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 13:43:26 ago (+1/-1)

the good faith answer is "I don't know" but a lot of people are afraid to say that...

The problem is the Flat earthers have to re-write the whole cosmology, and whenever there's something they don't know it's considered a victory for round-earthers because everything hasn't been worked out in the flat earth perspective. Its effectively a very young perspective(despite being very old) because people are still re-discovering things.

[ - ] observation1 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 17:26:11 ago (+0/-0)*

The problem with flat earthers, is any member who has integrity, soon does not identify as a flat earther.

There's curious people. Who'll spend the time to explore it. Ponder a few things, test a few things. Maybe ask some questions. But, soon come to figure out they're barking up the wrong tree.

Then there's people looking for a way to explain their victimhood. Very few will test their own thesis, much less publish it if results are unexpected. So they accept everything that falls within their paradigm, and will reject everything that doesn't..

It's an ego trip to offset the victimhood. They're in jail, under the thumb of NASA propagandists and other elites who must be keeping up the charade; and only they and their infinite wisdom, are capable of grasping where their fellow cell-mates simply are not bright enough.

The problem is they lie to themselves. This is also a problem with all major religions.

Its a straight up religion no different than if you challenged a bible thumper on one of every creature fitting on an arch for 40 days to procreate. Eyes gloss over. Excuses. Justifications.

I just read your post again and I feel like you're not getting enough credit for coming up with "lumpy potato moon"

[ - ] TheSimulacra 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 14:52:01 ago (+0/-0)

The moon is a spaceship.

It is most definetly NOT a natural satellite.

[ - ] Her0n 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 6, 2022 12:17:37 ago (+0/-0)

That would be pretty cool and interesting.

[ - ] TheSimulacra 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 6, 2022 14:17:35 ago (+0/-0)

Many anomalies about the moon are hard to explain. If the moon is a spaceship with purpose, none of them are hard to explain.

Its the absolute perfect size for eclipses, which allowed for primitive understanding of the cosmos.
Its craters are unexplainably shallow.
There are many metals that seem to have no business being there.
It has a near perfectly circular orbit, without which complex life would have an incredibly challenging time on earth.
Its tidally locked, creating a side that cannot be seen from earth. (Not highly unusual, but necessary for secrecy.)
Many cultures around the world have stories about a time before the moon.

We are either living in an engineered environment, or we somehow hit the 1000 number, absolutely impossible odds lottery mega jackpot, and everything just magically happened to work out perfectly for life to exist.

I like to think of it as an observation post that a benevolent (or at least scientifically interested) interstellar empire placed, then lost control of our system to another, more sinister sepcies.

Then we started being maliciously infiltrated. We were kept as vassals under the new regime for the past few thousand years.

I think it's a decent premise for a story at least.

[ - ] TheSimulacra 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 6, 2022 16:24:09 ago (+0/-0)

Yes, i think i mean basically the same thing when calling it a spaceship. It was parked there with purpose of observing/creating life on earth.

Earth is most likely an eden, or a gardened planet.

The moon is hollow. It rang like a bell and resonated for several minutes when struck. It is a vehicle that brought humans to Earth from wherever.

Just go fearlessly go down the rabbit hole and all your questions will be answered.
Lazy fucks.

How come you don't fall out the bottom of the planet when you go down a rabbit hole?

whenever you mix the two cosmologies your questions sound stupid. Argue within its own frame to disprove it or don't argue at all.

I was going to take your advice but unfortunately it fell down a rabbit hole and was lost forever.

It's the opposite of the sun... just look at what the temperature of the moon would be based on distance and lumens... there is no way a human could have been on the surface the temperature would be insane.

Also the moon being the exact size as the sun in the sky and to cross paths is mathematically impossible

[ - ] Spaceman84 0 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 12:46:24 ago (+0/-0)

Not mathematically impossible. Additionally, the moon's orbit gets slightly larger (more distant) over time so it will appear smaller in relation to the sun in the future. In the past it appeared larger and occluded the sun more completely during an eclipse.

It’s flat too

[ - ] throwawayaccount 2 points 2.0 yearsJun 3, 2022 09:57:28 ago (+2/-0)

Then why does it always appear as round no matter its location in the sky or what angle you see it at? If it were flat, it would only appear round if it were directly above you. The farther away, the more drastic the angle you'd be looking at it, and therefore you'd begin to be able to perceive its flatness.
Test this yourself. Have someone hold a piece of paper directly above your head, and look up at it. You will see a rectangle. Now have them move it away from you in a straight line while maintaining the same height. You'll see its shape distort and eventually it will become apparent that the paper is flat.

The moon doesn't do this. Therefore, it cannot be flat.

Dude. They know this already. You cannot reason with somebody out of something they never reasoned themselves in.

Besides - its just a manhole cover, and our captors crack the vent to air it out at night.
