I worked with satellites in the military. My old job is currently absorbed by SF. The Earth is not flat.

Maybe it was just an elaborate hoax played on me by the military and the physics department when I was in school. But I doubt it. I'm not in a position to prove anything. But they sure spent a ridiculous amount of money training me for something that "isn't real".

Also flat Earthers are retarded cult followers. It's like listening to a mormon or jehovah witness.

Cool story bro

(Press X to doubt)

You think your job in the military was genuine just because if it wasn't, the government/military wasted money on you? So you're reasoning is that the military wouldn't waste money, therefore your job was legitimate? I hope you have a better reason for believing you were actually working on putting things in orbit, because otherwise I have a bridge to sell you. Also, I don't doubt there are true believers in flat earth, but I think the theory is put out there to muddy the waters and make people doubt actual conspiracies, much like 'all birds are government spy drones'.

I'd just like to appreciate all the flat bois who showed up ITT to perfectly prove my point 😆🤣

[ - ] VitaminSieg 4 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 12:50:07 ago (+4/-0)

The "steel is heavier than feathers" failure is the same as not understanding that there's a difference between believing the Earth is flat and not believing that the Earth is a glob just because NASA, which constantly gets caught lying, faking and hoaxing, says it's a glob. Scepticism is the opposite of belief, not the belief in the opposite.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus [op] 4 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 13:12:35 ago (+5/-1)*

The parallel I'm drawing is- just as the earth seems flat intuitively, but actually isn't, the intuitive answer that a kg of steel is heavier than a kg of feathers is also incorrect.

Btw there are many ways to prove the shape of the earth that don't involve nasa material. Every other space agency and private corp that has gone to orbit, for example. You can use something as simple as the differences between climates depending on the latitude. Far northern and southern climates are cold because the sunlight is spread out over a greater area due to the curvature of the earth. Proving, both that it isn't flat and that it is round.

Length of days or daylight is better than climates, which can be affected by other factors other than just latitude. So in Ireland (quite north) we lose about 10 hours of daylight from the longest to the shortest day of the year, while the Canaries (almost tropical) only loses about 3.5 hours of daylight in the same period.

Hey dangus, get this pseudointellectual nonsense!

You tried.

[ - ] Sector2 2 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 15:15:55 ago (+2/-0)

the earth seems flat intuitively,

But it doesn't. We can see horizons, and ships disappearing past it. The sun and moon are both spheroids to the naked eye. Then if you think about it a bit, nothing about flat earth makes any sense with what we see and experience.

I'm aware of all that. I was speaking to the flat tard perception- they have a learning disability which prevents them from being able to think in three dimensions. Obvious things that you mentioned are shrugged away by flat tards because they quite literally cannot imagine the earth, or anything else, as a 3D object.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 21:08:01 ago (+0/-0)

This is the most pseudointellectualism Ive eve seen in one place. Account suspended for arrogantly discussing your comprehension of 3D objects.

That doesn't even qualify for a you tried star. 0/10, see me after class. 👎

Key word: imagine.

Arguing semantics is just desperation at this point.

[ - ] VitaminSieg 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 23:47:54 ago (+1/-0)

That's called vanishing point.
Brains (or rather Minds) do more than you think. (Holy shit that's deep.) If you're a booking learning type of smrt, you should read Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre. Just the first few pages is convincing enough. And further down the line is Ernst Mach (as in the speed) who was interested in what he termed 'Psychophysics'.

[ - ] VitaminSieg 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 23:40:11 ago (+1/-0)

I get what you're saying and I don't disagree, but you're begging the question. The fact doesn't explain the theory: the theory attempts to explain the fact. It's not a fact that the Earth is round, and that high latitudes are colder etc. It is a fact that high latitudes are colder etc., and the accepted explanation of that fact is the theory that the Earth is round. It's recursive in that other facts tend to fortify the theory, but the point at which a theory becomes strong enough to be considered fact is the point at which the threshold of belief is crossed; because, strictly speaking, a theory, regardless of it's power of explanation, ought not to be confused with fact.

The steel is simply denser than the feathers. This clip is goofy.

Watch out everyone, we got a mechanical engineer here.

You aren't using reason, you are appealing to authority and wanting me to take your faith based opinion to reinforce the government programming and make the cognitive dissonance stop hurting your brain.

[ - ] big_fat_dangus [op] 5 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 14:03:53 ago (+5/-0)

That's the best flat tard impression I've ever heard! You are quite talented my man.

[ - ] observation1 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 01:55:46 ago (+1/-0)

why is it that people who use "cognitive dissonance" in a sentence demonstrate they dont actually know what that word means? So curious.

[ - ] FacelessOne 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 06:56:26 ago (+1/-0)

Reconcile believing NASA while also believing the Government hates you and lies about everything.

[ - ] observation1 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 12:09:22 ago (+1/-0)

Thanks for illustrating my point.

[ - ] FacelessOne 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 23:37:28 ago (+1/-0)

You fail to reconcile holding two contradictory ideas at the same time. The very attempt to do so and you are forced to pivot the discussion because of pain.

"Cognitive dissonance is a mental conflict that occurs when your beliefs don't line up with your actions. It's an uncomfortable state of mind when someone has contradictory values, attitudes, or perspectives about the same thing."

The Googled definition matches my usage to perfection.

Seeth harder faggot

Lol. That you googled it further illustrates my point. Thanks for that!

It's for everyone else to see you for the ignorant NPC that you are.

Cool story bro, read the book again, maybe this time it'll flip the switch

Hey why you trying to get all pseudointellectual on us?

[ - ] big_fat_dangus [op] 0 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 21:02:26 ago (+0/-0)

Pseudointellectualism describes your level of understanding, not the concepts themselves. Not too bright, are ya?

[ - ] PostWallHelena 0 points 5 monthsNov 8, 2023 21:20:15 ago (+0/-0)

Translation: the person who actually passed 2 semesters of astrophysics doesnt have a good level of understanding of planetary motion but the bio slut with 2 semesters of calculus does.

Gotcha.

Oh so you're an astrophysicist now? It's amazing how the college courses you say you took change depending on the subject being discussed.

It's as though you took none at all, and are highly insecure about it.

[ - ] HeyJames 1 point 5 monthsNov 9, 2023 08:34:11 ago (+1/-0)

If she was smart then why did this cunt mask and vax during the covid hoax? A few affirmative action pieces of paper does not quantity intelligence in todays world.

No, Im a person who took alot of college level physics, including 2 semesters of astrophysics. I also took alot of math but never claimed to be a mathematician either. The fact that you dont understand why a student would be taking both a physics and math heavy course load reveals volumes about YOU. Biotechs are the basic bitches of the science world. Haha.

The insecurity is strictly on your part. You are the one that was thirsty enough to pick at my vaguely sciencey comment to nukeamerica and claim it was pseudointellectualism. You’re salty because I have a stronger background than you in math and physics. Maybe theres dudes here that can bury me in those subjects, but it ain’t you. Of that I am highly confident.

But go on about how I’m “changing my story” or that Im insecure. I know you’ll never challenge me on math or physics cuz you dont know any.

Remember when you tried to argue that I couldnt have studied advanced math because I had too many typos in my responses and mathematicians are too careful to make spelling and grammar mistakes? Haha that was a good one. Can’t wait for the next NPD nugget!

It's not hard to convince children of fantasy folk lore.

You're just dumb people who believe shit because somebody told you what to think.

Is it your fault you lack critical thinking?
