  • So it's been a minute since I made my response to the Globebusters, and for two months now I've had to listen to flat earthers spew the same nonsense in the comment section of that video, day after day. Now that I'm intimately familiar with their most popular and most ridiculous talking points, I thought I would put them all together in one clip for a vigorous debunking.

The change is not fast enough to trigger the puny motion sensors in our ears.

      Yeah. It's understandable bc of our map protections. Even us that grasped the concept of no directions in space and no bottom of a globe tended to still think of the west to east, north to south, left right up down map when picturing the world. It can be tough to break. Lol. Like the furthest eastern point of the US is actually in Alaska bc of the 180th meridian passing through the Aleutian Islands. But that would feel "west" or "left".

Nevertheless, we got along fine... until I found out he was also a raging white-supremacist, at which point I confronted him, which led to a heated argument about skin color, after which he told me to go pray to my black God. I never spoke to him again. He is, of course, always in my prayers.

    Him: Gravity doesn't exist
    Me: How do we stay on the ground then?
    Him: Air pressure.
    Me: If it were air pressure, then we'd all be floating because the air pushes against us from all sides equally. This is scientifically proven. Thus we'd be at an equilibrium and be floating. And we could then "fly" anywhere we wanted
    Him: No...the pressure pushes down towards the earth. The weight of it pushes us down
    Me: Do you hear yourself? "The WEIGHT of the air pushes DOWN...." In order for it to push us "down" there has to be something pushing the air down towards the earth. Why doesn't it push us up?

      Yep, and they're typically emotion-based thinkers, rather than logic-based ones. They're compelled by a fear of institutions, or the romance of being part of a revolution, or just plain insecure about their own intelligence. Generally, they really *_want_* the Earth to be flat, because it validates them personally, in some way.

    I was a substitute school teacher for a number of years. I was substituting a 5th grade class, and while discussing the story the class had read, I made mention that the Earth was round. Lesson done, recess bell rings, I let the students out. A boy carrying a basketball stops at the door and says to me, _"The Earth is round?"_
    *"Just like your basketball,"* I replied.
    He had this look of concentration. I do not think he ever considered what the earth's shape actually was until then.
    I told him I wanted to show him something and went outside to the yard. Pointed to the sun "There's the sun," and then had him stand so he was looking 90 degrees away from it. Took the ball and placed it literally on the side of his head.
    *"See the ball?"*
    _"Yes."_
    *"It's all in shade?"*
    _"Yes."_
    *"That is night."*
    I then turned him towards the sun with the ball still on the side of his head.
    *"You just had a sunrise and it is now daytime."*
    Just seeing understanding click in his head has been one of my proudest moments.

    Shouldn't the hammer fall faster cuz it has more mass and therefore accelerates more rapidly? Why do they fall at the same rate in that vacuum? Or am I confused and thinking of something else?

      Many say they are circles, not spheres. Some say just the earth is flat, like you stated. I always ask why the ice wall wasn't at the north? Which is simple to know why the cult leaders created it that way. The southern hemisphere is much less populated and many more people live at very high latitudes in the north so it wouldn't look right for their scam. It's probably much easier to travel over the top(north) of earth because it's not all mostly sea once you get to the other side. The UA-camr and promoter of the flat earth society, con man, snake oil salesman Mark Sargent was getting interviewed on a TV special about the flat earth society. Marina Van Zeller interviewed Sargent privately and seriously looked him looked him calmly in the I asking, "now do you really believe all this stuff about flat earth?" He smiled and quickly looked down a couple seconds to compose himself. Then stated that he did, he absolutely did and so did the rest of the people at the convention. You coukd see right through him. He's not even a great liar. Earlier in the show they did an experiment sending a boat out with a striped sign on the side and the farther it went, a complete stripe was no longer visible. Further, the next stripe was disappearing. She said what do you think of the experiment? Sargent's yells, "how many of you here believe the earth is a globe?" No response and then someone shouts "yeah, flat earth!" The attendees cheer. For some it's more of a mistrust in everything. In government and finance and the inequalities in our society currently. But yes, Sargent a straight up fake and he knows the earth is not flat too.

    another stupid thing i've heard MANY flat-earthers say:
    "i used to believe earth is a globe until i saw SOMETHING that changed my mind."
    and that's their ENTIRE argument.
    NOT ONE of them has EVER even TRIED to explain what that "something" WAS.
    i like to call that their "obvious bluff" argument.
    i've also heard a lot of them say "SOMEONE proved earth is flat."
    and again, NOTHING ELSE.

      actualy not: the flat earth "theory" is a mentaly protection for a few poor souls out there. in their mind, the Mankind is the center of the existence, they are made from good (or from something other, higher existenz), and is made as a Mirror of those higher existence.. to tell them, they are just naked apes, that have learnd to form complex grunts to communicate ideas, but are basicly still just the cousins of schimpanseas, that hurts their feeling. The flat earth theory is not the reason or even the goal of those people, its just a tool to ignore the evolution theory.. that thing, that they realy hate and are afraid of.. because.. the universe, the evolution of the human from some unicellular, who just want to be more, than a unicellular in a pile of dirt - they made them feel.. well.. small.. that is what they are afraid of. the evolution theory and the fact, that the earth is just one small ball in a small galaxy in a big pile of balls and galaxies are two the Insults to humanity that Sigmund Freud postulates.

    Justin Peters did two videos on flat earthers. I responded to several people with math and science explaining why the earth was a globe, the measurements at the equator. The measurements going all the way around from north to south, how to divide the total distance around the earth by 360 degrees in a circle to find the drop. The math needed to see a certain distance uninterrupted. No scientific or mathematical replies, only that I was repeating what I learned in school. I am retired USAF and did flight training. So, here is a word for you - pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

    There is a guy, Scifun, he said:
    Soon there will be only one thing we can do to make flat earthers back into normal people. Send them into space. And then let them out in a spacesuit. And when they say "the round helmet makes things look round!" just tell them how to take it off.
