Rather than genuinely inquire and research the proofs/evidence against the spinning globe model and for the stationary plane Earth, many people instead employ a variety of unconscious defense mechanisms to protect them from ever learning anything new.

What do people here have in common with other "normies" who believe in covid, climate change, the holocaust, gender theories e.t.c.

You both engage in the exact same anti-flat earth defense mechanisims.

You guys are Normies v2.0

No scientist or someone who believes in the scientific method would ever

EMOTIONALY ANF SHILL LIKE ATTACK PEOPLE FOR A THEORY.

this is one of the main reasons I don't give flat earthen people shit they are usually the rational scientific sounding ones while the globe sheople act like kike shills

"What do people here have in common with other "normies" who believe in covid, climate change, the holocaust, gender theories e.t.c."

Theyre in the same sentence in your schizopost here.

You all trust in the experts. Like sheep, or as the kikes would call you. "goyim" a.k.a cattle.

no i trust in that everything you post about flat earth is verifiably false without even needing 'experts'

Flattards don't genuinely inquire. They deny reality when confronted with plain observation. You can't even explain something as simple as a sunset without lying about what is plainly visible:

You have line of sight to infinity on the horizon on a flat plane. Anything above the plane is visible.

You don't even understand the basic fundamental principals of limited perspective. You think humans are able to physically see for millions of miles because you have been indoctrinated to believe this way.

You don't even understand the basic fundamental principals of limited perspective.

It's just straight lines (line of sight) and geometry, retard. You can't even see when a reticle is in the center of a screen and the horizon drops below it. Truly brain dead.

You can't explain why the sun doesn't shrink when it's supposedly receding out of view.

You can't explain why there's a southern pole that southern stars rotate about in Flattard Land.

You're just a rube that fell for the dumbest conspiracy theory on the planet.

No it isn't, retard.

The Law of Perspective dictates that the angle and height at which an object is seen diminishes the farther one recedes from the object, until at a certain point the line of sight and the seemingly uprising surface of the Earth converges to a vanishing point (i.e. the horizon line) beyond which the object is invisible.

You can't even see when a reticle is in the center of a screen and the horizon drops below it. Truly brain dead.

No I can't at all. I skipped through the entire thing using the 10 second interval and didn't see anything except sped up, shaky drone footage showcasing the horizon dead center no matter how much it raises its altitude.

You can't explain why the sun doesn't shrink when it's supposedly receding out of view.

The sun does shrink as it recedes out of view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05WMRyPEmBA

You can't explain why there's a southern pole

There is no south pole. Compasses work of the magnetic north pole. When you head in any direction with the north pole to the left of you, you are circumnavigating eastwards and vice versa. When you head in any direction away from the north pole, you are heading south. There is no physical south pole.

You're just a rube that fell for the dumbest conspiracy theory on the planet.

I didn't fall for anything. I've actively gone out and performed "curvature" experiments to personally determine that there is zero amount of curvature. I used to call flat earthers retards at one point in my life too.

It's all based on straight lines and geometry, retard. "line of sight" is even in your description. It's not magic.

Yet you made a false claim about what is plainly visible. That makes you an incompetent liar afraid to watch a simple sunset. The yellow reticle is dead center. The horizon is clearly below it after it climbs:

https://youtu.be/gB1punBbeV8?t=150

Of course, you can see the same thing in any airplane cockpit flying at altitude. If you used your brain instead of parroting flattard talking points, you'd know that.

The sun does shrink as it recedes out of view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05WMRyPEmBA

As predicted, flattard uses video with glare. Why doesn't it shrink in the video I linked, as taken by three different cameras? Measure the disk of the sun overhead at noon versus when it's at the horizon using a filter. It doesn't shrink. Yet you think it dramatically shrinks in 30 seconds based on an overexposed video.

There is no south pole.

Only if you are a retard. For some reason, as you travel south the stars are shown to rotate about a southern pole, just like the northern stars rotate about the north pole. Again, flattard in denial of basic reality.

I've actively gone out and performed "curvature" experiments to personally determine that there is zero amount of curvature.

You can't even see when a horizon is below a yellow reticle, flattard. You aren't qualified to perform ANY experiments.

It's all based on straight lines and geometry, retard.

And a vanishing point which merges at the horizon. Humans can not see forever, retard. We have a vanishing point. Retard.

It's not magic.

No shit sherlock, it's called lines of convergence and a vanishing point, retard.

Yet you made a false claim about what is plainly visible.

Provide a timestamp to the moment in the video you are claiming the horizon drops below the center of frame.

The horizon is clearly below it after it climbs:

A single frame taken from a shaky drone as it raised in altitude compared to the rest of the video footage in which showcases the horizon, dead center in the reticle. The next few frames as the drone levels out, will showcase the horizon in the center of the reticle but you have to rely on a still frame in which showcased your narrative.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFJcQsPHvTQ

Horizon always rises and stays at eye level

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gS6yZwUWjs

At no point does anyone ever have to look down to see the horizon, as you would expect to on a ball. Instead the horizon spans out, seemingly infinitely on our flat plane.

Retard.

As predicted, flattard uses video with glare.

Oh look, excuse after excuse.

Why doesn't it shrink in the video I linked

The video you linked doesn't showcase the sun directly overhead, moving towards the horizon. It already begins with the sun at its smallest size, at the horizon. Retard.

for some reason, as you travel south the stars are shown to rotate about a southern pole

Again, there is no south pole. Just a magnetic north pole with a stationary star above it referred to as Polaris. There is no such thing as a South "polaris" or stars rotating around a "south pole"

If you're standing at the North Pole, Polaris will be 90 degrees directly overhead. As you start traveling southwards, the law of perspective will cause Polaris to gradually decline in the sky. The further south you travel, the lower Polaris appears in the sky, until you reach approximately 20 degrees south latitude by which point Polaris descends beyond the horizon so people from that vantage point can no longer see it.

Some heliocentrists have even tried to suggest that the Pole Star’s gradual declination overhead as an observer travels southwards is proof of a globular Earth. Far from it, the declination of the Pole Star or any other object is simply a result of the Law of Perspective. The Law of Perspective dictates that the angle and height at which an object is seen diminishes the farther one recedes from the object, until at a certain point the line of sight and the seemingly uprising surface of the Earth converges to a vanishing point (i.e. the horizon line) beyond which the object is invisible.

You can't even see when a horizon is below a yellow reticle, flattard.

You're trying to use a still frame of a shaky object moving vertically to make some sort of strawman point. Retard. Look at the actual video footage instead of a 1/2 second split in which the drone was angling downwards instead of stable.

Retard.

And a vanishing point which merges at the horizon.

That's flattard nonsense. There is no magic "vanishing" point.

Provide a timestamp to the moment in the video you are claiming the horizon drops below the center of frame.

I already did in the other thread. Of course you could just use your fucking eyes and watch the video yourself. But whatever, here it is again:

https://youtu.be/gB1punBbeV8?t=150

Oh look, excuse after excuse.

Oh look, flattard cherry picks video with glare, as predicted, and ignores videos without glare that show no shrinking.

The video you linked doesn't showcase the sun directly overhead, moving towards the horizon. It already begins with the sun at its smallest size, at the horizon. Retard.

Lulz. You said the sun recedes out of view. It can't be at a "smallest size" when it's above the horizon, moron. It's an extremely bright disk that drops below the horizon without shrinking. Makes perfect sense on a spherical Earth, none in Flattard Land.

Again, there is no south pole. Just a magnetic north pole with a stationary star above it referred to as Polaris. There is no such thing as a South "polaris" or stars rotating around a "south pole"

Again, you're a flattard in denial of basic observation.

As you start traveling southwards, the law of perspective will cause Polaris to gradually decline in the sky.

It rotates out of view at a steady rate exactly as you would expect on spherical Earth. In FLattard Land, it would drop to the horizon at a slower and slower rate.

Start your reply with a personal emotional jew shill type attack. Nice work

[ - ] chrimony 0 points 2.6 yearsSep 17, 2022 14:38:19 ago (+0/-0)

Christcuck that worships the heeb god Yahweh hypocritically compares me to a jew. Typical.

Also hypocritically has nothing to say on the actual argument being made. Typical.
