We had consultant come and do some IT work for us a while back. He was studying for his next Pilot's exams, and boy, were there exams. Lots of weather stuff, obviously navigation, and there's no way any of that works on a flat Earth, so a FLERF just wouldn't pass a pilot exam. They'd have been taught how things work on a globe, and seen how things work on a globe, so how then could they doubt it?
@@mrxmry3264 Hold on there. I’ve flown an ultralight and I didn’t need to take curvature into account for navigation. On the other hand, not sure if I would call myself a pilot.
Things I never learned in flight training: -How to avoid flying off the edge of the Earth. -How to avoid crashing into the giant ice wall. -How to fly around our small, local sun so I don't hit it. -Where to submit my non-disclosure agreement about the "true" shape of the Earth. Why did none of my instructors tell me any of this?? Oh, wait. I think I know...
-How to avoid the glass dome over the earth. -How you don’t really need supplemental oxygen at high altitude because the air is kept in by the dome and is really at the same pressure everywhere under the dome.
-Use lots and lots and lots of sun shade when flying under the sun, don't want to bake all the people on the airplane...maybe sun tan lotion all over the airplane?
How to avoid flying off the edge of the Earth. ??? where did you get that from, you're very ignorent and dont even know anything about flat earth which is where we live
"Don't believe everything they tell you," said every conspiracy theorist ever, shortly before believing everything told to them that might support their theory.
I'm sorry, but we "globe earth shills" don't accept just anyone stealing valor from pilots. Can you give me any interesting scientific sounding words that i can fluff my confirmation bias with to prove yourself one of the winged ones? XD
@@Soundbrigade It is a clip from a documentary called 'Behind the Curve. Bob Knoedel procured a $20000 laser ring gyroscope and found a 15 degree per hour drift, the sign of earths rotation. It is a great clip honestly.
This just proves FE'rs do absolutely no research at all. As Wolfie stated, a single Google search would have proven this entire "whistle blow" as complete and utter nonsense. Bruh. You guys are just beating a corpse at this point. X'D
im waiting for the FE folks to use something like spongebob as evidence or counter evidence at least it will be amusing. i.e. "clearly we live in a flat earth that is completely submerged underwater with only small islands."
These comments feel rehearsed. You two are the same guy, aren't you? Comments one after another, rapid succession, with a "you should watch this" link? Lmfao. Get your bot asses out of my comment thread.
Man I am not kidding you I was at work the other day and there were people talking on the other table, I just heard 15 degrees and my instinct was to shout "Thanks Bob".
I did that with a coworker and he surprisingly knew what I was talking about lol They were talking about the temperature and I jumped in “you guys talking about the 15 degree per hour drift? Thanks bob” and he asked if I was talking about “that dumbass flat earther thing” Hated him before that, now he’s my best friend, gonna ask him to be my best man this summer
As a pilot myself (coincidentally flying the same type as Wolfie) I've often considered trolling flerfers but I simply can't be bothered to put in the effort. These drop-kicks are simply a waste of oxygen and I just know my patience would expire part way through the exercise and I'd just tell them to fark off. So I admire your patience for doing this, my attention span wouldn't.......oh look! A squirrel!!
The problem with trying to prove anything with flat earth sufferers is that they won’t believe anything you show them. Show then a video of opposite direction traffic on TCAS visually being above the horizon and they won’t understand. How can you get them to realise that a plane, half way across the Atlantic, can only communicate via CPDLC and that VHF comms don’t work? How can you demonstrate the agony of trying to talk to Indian ATC on HF? They’ll just reply it’s all lies and rubbish and NASA / lizard overlords are controlling everything.
a grown up man with the wilful mindset of a toddler, I don't have the slightest sympathy for that... the first step to consider actually using your brain might be simply to avoid further embarrassment by realizing how easy this could have been avoided... we usually learn this around pre-school age... some folks however manage to be stunningly pain-free :D

You understand that Sigma Octantis is a pole star, right? Or as close as we have to a pole star. If you were to do a time exposure of this star, all stars would seem to rotate around it over the course of a few hours, or as long as you can see the stars in the night sky. But how, globber? How do you see this in South America and then see the same thing looking directly south, which is 180 degrees turned around, in Australia? Flats have the answer, but globbers pathetically do not.

The governments cannot risk that, they want to control you and your beliefs just like Ed Harris did to truman, if it is revealed we live on flat earth the governments would lose there hold on the people and there beliefs, not the mention the consequences of the lie itself.

So flat earth it is, they found it, crapped themselves, buried it out of fear of consequences and indoctrinated you with the globe earth in school before you could even count to 2...they want you indoctrinated with the globe earth very very early because its so important to keep it secret....

Here's a "discussion" I had with a flat Earther on a Facebook group. He was arguing, as do all flerfs, that rockets cannot possibly work in space. After much questioning, I finally got him to explain how rockets work: by pushing off of air. So I asked him if he could agree with these 2 premises: rockets accelerate as they gain elevation, and that air density gets lower as you gain elevation. (He accepted the fact there is less atmospheric pressure on top of Mt. Everest than at sea level). By now he was trapped, but just didn't know it yet. I followed up with "How can rockets accelerate as they gain elevation if there is less and less air to push off of?" His response? "PROVE THAT ROCKETS ACCELERATE!" He had agreed 15 seconds earlier. What I find particularly funny is that he wanted me to prove that rockets accelerate, not that atmospheric pressure decreases. I mean c'mon, you really think a rocket is going at the same speed 2 miles up as it was 50 feet off the ground? It's really telling of the flat Earth mindset: conserve their beliefs at all costs.
That's called moving the goalposts, they do it all the time for globe proofs. That's why debating with a flat earther is a complete waste of time; they will not ever admit that they are wrong. They cannot, it would mean the end of their imaginary world.
Would it say that gravity was a very weak force and all you require is an umbrella to defy it? Or even just laughing and you can have a tea party on the ceiling?
Or if they somehow did end up googling it and expectedly coming up empty handed, then you could just say “oh Google is lying, they’re hiding all information about Kreptactic Flight Sequentials” and they would just take that at face value and not doubt it for a second.
I heard a story from MCToon that said commercial pilots that allow people to see the cockpit often tell flat earthers that come in there it is indeed flat just to get rid of them.

It was a long overnight run on a lonely road for me, so I turned the CB radio on. Now CB radios only receive a few miles away, and this conversation went on for a good hour or more. So whomever it was, was running with me, and not far away. He was explaining how to pick up a hopper load (type of dry bulk trailer) of potatoes in Idaho and run it down to Louisiana. He was explaining all the do's and don'ts, the ins and outs, and all the inside information about the scales, police, road and weather conditions you find along the way. He was a veritable fountain of information that night. He sounded like someone who really had done it enough to do it again in his sleep. But then things took an unexpected turn. He was telling us how you never want to pull a full load (80,000 lbs in the US) out of Idaho because potatoes absorb moisture from the air on the way to Louisiana. And by the time you get to the humidity of Louisiana, those potatoes could absorb an extra 2000 lbs or more of water. He then went on to tell us about the fines and troubles offloading a ton of potatoes before being allowed to complete your delivery. It all sounded good until he started talking about the variable humidity in Idaho. And that on a humid day, you could load more weight than on a dry day. When asked how to know how much you can load on any given day, he said, "When you're out in the field waiting to be loaded, you find yourself a frog. Then you flip it over on its back and rub its belly. If the belly feels dry, you need to leave up to 2000 pounds, because those potatoes will be as dry as the air. But if the belly feels wet, then its safe to load up to your limit" At that, I started laughing so hard I almost put my own truck into a ditch. He really had me going, and sounded super credible until he dropped that fat one on us. In the years since, I pulled a number of potato loads out of Idaho (and lots of onions too). But it was always a backhaul in a refrigerated trailer. And I always went to Minnesota or Wisconsin. So the humidity disparity was never an issue. Too bad too, because you'll never catch me rubbing any frog bellies out there in the field.
Great video! I love seeing this kind of teamwork to use logical Jiu-Jitsu against the flerfers. It’s always great when Wolfie, Wally and BTSG get added visibility as well. Those guys are fantastic. Good work everyone. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
You guys need to get together maybe once a year to put your heads together to pull a big prank on the Flerfs. Make a secret holiday out of it. Like, FTFE Day (Fool the Flat Earth Day). Yeah, FTFE might get a little big headed that a holiday is the same spelling as his name, but what the hell? Roll with it. It kind of makes it funnier.
Lol 😂 I'm not sure if that "big headed" part was an intentional play on his actual head size...I mean I love FTFE and his content but honestly speaking he does have a big 💆🏻♂️, I'm guessing it must be from all that braining he does regularly 😅😂
What, and allow the flerfs a chance to predict the day? No, do it irregularly throughout the year. Let's all take part. I am already thinking of some ideas.
@@clivedavis6859 Of course never let them guess the day. Well they can try. But maybe schedule it a different day every year. Keep them on their toes. Secondly, they're too dumb to be able to guess or not take anything literally. So, I'm willing to bet that if they did this, they would manage to nail them every year, and they would fall for it every year. All you have to do is butter these guys up, say what they want to hear, and you're in. I'll bet that even if they did this on the same day every year, they would still manage to successfully pull it off.
This was pure gold! There is one downside to this exercise, however. This is how most conspiracies are born: someone makes a joke remark and someone is ready to push it further and expand it until the origins are lost or simply ignored by those who want to cling to their newly discovered wokeness. In a few years, we might see this KLS or BTSG being brought forward as undeniable truths by a new generation of nutters!
Satellite dish pointing for geostationary satellites from multiple locations proves the Earth is a globe. The math is absolutely impossible from a flat plane.

Odd that there is a gyroscope allowing for the horizon line on the instrument panel to adjust as it turns. Why would we need gyroscopes on a flat plane?
This is by far one of the best videos you have done so far. It demonstrates they will believe anything if it is in their favour no matter how ridiculous and easily researched. What a bunch of idiots.

One of your best, Dan. I followed that whole F-16 debacle last year. Didn’t for a moment believe he was a real pilot and joined others calling him out for stolen valor.

@@spaceflightguru5380 No. Not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is if there's a South Pole star that all stars rotate around and it can be found going south, how can you see it in Australia while also seeing it in South America and also in South Africa?

@@beckydoesit9331 if you look straight up at a spot on the celing above a bag on the floor, and walk one way, the spot will point to the bag if you draw a line to the horizon, but the same thing happens if you walk in another direction, the spot and bag can be substituted for anything, and you can prove for yourself how the pole star works -addmitedly on a much smaller scale. And with the point I brought up earlier about the position in the sky, it proves the earth is round. With the rotation, because it is at the base of the rotation, all the stars would seem to spin around it. If you drew a line from the north pole, to the south pole, and extended it to the star, it would come very close to intersecting the star (it isnt exact) like a spinning top.

@testing wrong. it was 53 miles away and from the top of tower hill at warren dunes. The observation in fact fits the globe perfectly fine when elevations and refraction are taken into account. Furthermore Joshua himself in an interview with the news pointed out the refraction present. In fact if you look at his timelapse of the whole thing you see the image stretch the buildings up and down throughout and eventually they invert upon themselves confirming it was indeed high refraction conditions. On top of all of that a surveyor went out there with his equipment and demonstrated that it wasn't until the proper elevation was reached that you could see the tops of the buildings of chicago. he then measured to the buildings and confirmed curvature. Your goose is cooked. Sit down, shut up, and go away. You are dismissed. Thanks for another easy win for the globe kiddo.
@@ScottBott5000 observation, measurement, experiment, calculation, and real world travel say otherwise. Why is all navigation based on a globe? If you think it is not then by all means provide a functioning FE map, model, flight plan, measurement, and a formula to determine exact distances between locations that we can test against reality. If you cannot provide those things then its time for you to kick rocks because your fairy tale is no more. RIP FE. Thanks for another easy win for the globe kiddo. This is where you run away.

Im retired master, i have asked several leading flerfs to explain how a basic navigation formula such as lat=zendis+dec works on a flat earth. To date i have recieved no reply.
Somebody estimated that if some miracle happened and the Earth conformed to the flat Earth model, tomorrow, it would cost around a billion dollars to redesign all of the navigation systems. Satellites would be impossible for one thing. We would also need a lot more bandwidth to keep all of the radio transmitters from interfering with each other. I have no idea how much it would cost to find new laws of physics.

That is just one of the 'chemicals' I use to troll the deluded idiots who decree "Chemicals are bad" in the various "health" forums. I think they'ce cottoning onto the 'sodium chloride' one. 😉
Another fun thing to consider is the F-16 had an internal fuel capacity of around 6500 pounds. For it to fly 1500 mph, let's just say mach 2 for accuracy, it needs to use full reheat (afternurn). In that state, it burns close to 60,000 pounds of fuel per minute. It wouldn't be able to sustain mach 2 for 10 minutes anyway. If taboo knew this, he would see his "airforce pilot" friend was yanking his chain.
@@dogwalker666 yeah modern fighters can only do short bursts of super sonic travel. The Concorde was different as the engines were specifically designed to be most efficient at mach 2, thus it could make the trans-Atlantic crossing it did.
@@brianmvalley5634 indeed she was smooth as silk with those RR Olympus engines, looked so graceful, even looked like she was going fast when on the ground.
This is also why they had multiple external fuel tanks that could be tacked on, and also why mid-air refueling capabilities were built-in to many such fighter craft. It's also why most fighter jet fights occur at subsonic intercept while descending from cruising altitude. It allows them to keep their KE up (so they are most maneuverable) while not having to worry about supersonic shockwaves during a turn ripping their wings off. F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, and F-18s all have to operate this way. They only go supersonic to escape or gain distance, and then only in a mostly straight line. And not for long.....it's simply too expensive fuel wise. (Σ)
One of their biggest responses towards questioners has always been, "Do your own research". Seen in a different light, I think this just means. "You do the research coz I can't be bothered."
So the curve of the earth can't be eight inches per mile, because that would be too much for pilots to deal with? Well, I would like to see a pilot that could fly straight and level for a mile and NOT vary by more than eight inches up or down.
And the ratio of the earth’s circumference to average human height is equal to the ratio of average human height to the size of this flat earther’s brain :D
10 seconds into their "Whistleblower" video, I had already found an issue. Basically, they're saying that the pilot's are altering their flight plans to "appear" that they're flying on a globe. Okay, since that's what they're doing. Why are they doing that? Who do they have to alter these flight plans for? Aren't the people that read these flight plans already "In-the-know" about the Earth being flat? Why do they need to go through all this extra work to prove something that has no necessity to be proven. It affects no one on Earth in any way shape or form. Knowledge of the Earth being actually flat would literally change NOTHING about everyone's daily lives, and no amount of money would be lost as a result. There's a balance that supposedly "depends" on this knowledge that, coincidentally no one in CENTURIES, not even ONE person came forward to blow the whistle, yet every single solitary secret on earth has had at least ONE whistleblower before the secret came out. Hell, we even have whistleblowers for Aliens! I have yet to see one legit official from the government or ANYONE for that matter, coming forward with proof of a Flat earth. The Earth being the ONLY planet in the entire UNIVERSE that is flat, now THAT is something I struggle to believe, especially when you can observably see that the earth is globular. Just look UP!
I feel bad for these guys. How many times are flat earthers gonna investigate aviation? It's humiliating. Planes are not anti-g cars, they are extremely sophisticated falling gas tanks, lol. You can reach near mach 2 in these birds, but to "fly off the ball", as they depict in their head, it'll require mach 33... this is because you're falling back to the Earth the entire time, 9.8m/s2. It doesn't matter where your nose is and if it's faster than sound, your butt is falling back to Earth, constantly. The falling and, manipulation of, is measured in what, yea, gravity, G's, it's literally a gauge on the plane. Your nose is almost always up in cruise because of, what, yea, gravity. Guess what, steam gauge of this in every plane, ever, AoA.

We had consultant come and do some IT work for us a while back. He was studying for his next Pilot's exams, and boy, were there exams. Lots of weather stuff, obviously navigation, and there's no way any of that works on a flat Earth, so a FLERF just wouldn't pass a pilot exam. They'd have been taught how things work on a globe, and seen how things work on a globe, so how then could they doubt it?

-How to avoid crashing into the giant ice wall.
-How to fly around our small, local sun so I don't hit it.
-Where to submit my non-disclosure agreement about the "true" shape of the Earth.
Why did none of my instructors tell me any of this?? Oh, wait. I think I know...
-How to avoid the glass dome over the earth.
-How you don’t really need supplemental oxygen at high altitude because the air is kept in by the dome and is really at the same pressure everywhere under the dome.
-Use lots and lots and lots of sun shade when flying under the sun, don't want to bake all the people on the airplane...maybe sun tan lotion all over the airplane?

You understand that Sigma Octantis is a pole star, right? Or as close as we have to a pole star. If you were to do a time exposure of this star, all stars would seem to rotate around it over the course of a few hours, or as long as you can see the stars in the night sky. But how, globber? How do you see this in South America and then see the same thing looking directly south, which is 180 degrees turned around, in Australia? Flats have the answer, but globbers pathetically do not.

Here's a "discussion" I had with a flat Earther on a Facebook group.
He was arguing, as do all flerfs, that rockets cannot possibly work in space. After much questioning, I finally got him to explain how rockets work: by pushing off of air.
So I asked him if he could agree with these 2 premises: rockets accelerate as they gain elevation, and that air density gets lower as you gain elevation. (He accepted the fact there is less atmospheric pressure on top of Mt. Everest than at sea level). By now he was trapped, but just didn't know it yet.
I followed up with "How can rockets accelerate as they gain elevation if there is less and less air to push off of?"
His response? "PROVE THAT ROCKETS ACCELERATE!"
He had agreed 15 seconds earlier.
What I find particularly funny is that he wanted me to prove that rockets accelerate, not that atmospheric pressure decreases. I mean c'mon, you really think a rocket is going at the same speed 2 miles up as it was 50 feet off the ground?
It's really telling of the flat Earth mindset: conserve their beliefs at all costs.
That's called moving the goalposts, they do it all the time for globe proofs. That's why debating with a flat earther is a complete waste of time; they will not ever admit that they are wrong. They cannot, it would mean the end of their imaginary world.
If the email was from Mary Poppins he probably still would have bought it
Would it say that gravity was a very weak force and all you require is an umbrella to defy it? Or even just laughing and you can have a tea party on the ceiling?

We could tell you really enjoyed that!! This was one of the best episodes you've done: great job Dan and the others.
It was a long overnight run on a lonely road for me, so I turned the CB radio on. Now CB radios only receive a few miles away, and this conversation went on for a good hour or more. So whomever it was, was running with me, and not far away.
He was explaining how to pick up a hopper load (type of dry bulk trailer) of potatoes in Idaho and run it down to Louisiana. He was explaining all the do's and don'ts, the ins and outs, and all the inside information about the scales, police, road and weather conditions you find along the way. He was a veritable fountain of information that night. He sounded like someone who really had done it enough to do it again in his sleep.
But then things took an unexpected turn.
He was telling us how you never want to pull a full load (80,000 lbs in the US) out of Idaho because potatoes absorb moisture from the air on the way to Louisiana. And by the time you get to the humidity of Louisiana, those potatoes could absorb an extra 2000 lbs or more of water. He then went on to tell us about the fines and troubles offloading a ton of potatoes before being allowed to complete your delivery.
It all sounded good until he started talking about the variable humidity in Idaho. And that on a humid day, you could load more weight than on a dry day. When asked how to know how much you can load on any given day, he said, "When you're out in the field waiting to be loaded, you find yourself a frog. Then you flip it over on its back and rub its belly. If the belly feels dry, you need to leave up to 2000 pounds, because those potatoes will be as dry as the air. But if the belly feels wet, then its safe to load up to your limit"
At that, I started laughing so hard I almost put my own truck into a ditch. He really had me going, and sounded super credible until he dropped that fat one on us.
In the years since, I pulled a number of potato loads out of Idaho (and lots of onions too). But it was always a backhaul in a refrigerated trailer. And I always went to Minnesota or Wisconsin. So the humidity disparity was never an issue. Too bad too, because you'll never catch me rubbing any frog bellies out there in the field.

@concerned citizen I'd say that's a pretty accurate view. What else are you doing besides being a man child who clearly has some kind of attention deficit in his life?
@@soloskirmisherrts5043 I think it's sad that you feel the need to argue with some random internet user about their life choices.
This is the best flat earth debunk video I have seen in a long time(!). Absolutely flippin' epic!
One of your best, Dan. I followed that whole F-16 debacle last year. Didn’t for a moment believe he was a real pilot and joined others calling him out for stolen valor. By that time Wolfie had scared him off. Then the supposed Qantas pilot showed up. Didn’t realize that was Wolfie. Great job by all involved.
After KLS, this came to my mind: "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow!"
Well Dan, I have to say this has been the best vid you've ever done! Sitting here with a massive grin trying not to laugh at how gulable these flerf are 😂🤣. Keep up the awesome work 👍
If I told Taboo Conspiracy it said gullible on the celing, he would look up and when it wasnt there go "where, where is it?" for 5 minutes, continually insisting I tell him where it is
Catfish all you want, but globbers will never answer the mystery of Sigma Octantis. They fail to explain how, this star, that can only be seen south of the Equator, can be seen in South America, looking directly south, and also be seen in Australia, looking directly south, and seen in South Africa, looking, again, directly south. You understand that Sigma Octantis is a pole star, right? Or as close as we have to a pole star. If you were to do a time exposure of this star, all stars would seem to rotate around it over the course of a few hours, or as long as you can see the stars in the night sky. But how, globber? How do you see this in South America and then see the same thing looking directly south, which is 180 degrees turned around, in Australia? Flats have the answer, but globbers pathetically do not. Just goes to prove the saying... flat is where it's at.
@@beckydoesit9331 you forget there is a north star as well. But still even if you draw a straight line to the horizon, it points south, but the latitude you are on affects the distance between the star and the horizon, which has been proved. If you're on the south pole, it would be directly overhead. Plus, according to most flat earth models, there isnt a south pole.
@@spaceflightguru5380 No. Not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is if there's a South Pole star that all stars rotate around and it can be found going south, how can you see it in Australia while also seeing it in South America and also in South Africa?
@@beckydoesit9331 Because we live on a globe if you look south from any of these locations you are all looking towards same point south pole and Sigma Octantis is pole star . Now try the same on flat earth model and they would be looking in opposite directions try looking north from these locations can we see Polaris north pole star ? we should on flat earth
@@beckydoesit9331 if you look straight up at a spot on the celing above a bag on the floor, and walk one way, the spot will point to the bag if you draw a line to the horizon, but the same thing happens if you walk in another direction, the spot and bag can be substituted for anything, and you can prove for yourself how the pole star works -addmitedly on a much smaller scale. And with the point I brought up earlier about the position in the sky, it proves the earth is round. With the rotation, because it is at the base of the rotation, all the stars would seem to spin around it. If you drew a line from the north pole, to the south pole, and extended it to the star, it would come very close to intersecting the star (it isnt exact) like a spinning top.
This is by far the biggest trolling I have ever seen… this was pure gold… I feel bad for the guy tho, if it was me I would feel so stupid
Taboo conspiracy is deliberately deceiving people all the time. Only honest thing he could do is that he deletes his channel and stop deceiving people.
@@mikep9604 no kiddin!!! You should see his response video he put on his page… freakin crazy
@@KleinZaffre I have seen his video. And once again his followers believe in all the lies he spreads.
What if flat earthers never believed the earth was flat in the first place and were the ones trolling us?
@@markymark443 then that would be the biggest trolling ever… but if that was the case I think people would’ve went with it for so long they started believing it
Excellent! I've just got to get more mischievous in my debunking. This video had me rolling on the floor! Great job SMD!
While I think this can be an effective technique in some cases, there also need to be debunkers who only stick to facts and straight-forward approaches like you, Blue. I like your no-nonsense debunks and science driven rebuttals.
@@Tsudico I don't disagree, but a bit of mischief from time to time is good too. SMD plays it pretty straight most of the time. I guess that's why I really liked this one!
Also, I love how the horizon is curved in all the plane footage. Lol.
You can't see curvature from that height. Any curvature you see is probably distortion from the lens.
Doesn't mean the earth is flat though lol
@@jacobcorr337 ah, understood. I dont know a lot about cameras. But agreed, the earth isnt flat.
citizen your point?
@@jacobcorr337 Then again, are flat-earthers really that worried about how the equipment distorts their findings?
@@LustraGaming They'll use it as an excuse whenever it suits them. Show them photos of the earth shot from the ISS showing a clear curve and they'll say that's because a fish-eye lense was used.
So "Do your own research" really does mean "Take everything at face value" to these people.
Well, they do apply one criterium: "Does it fit my predefined beliefs?"
Taboo Conspiracy wants to swallow whatever nonsense crawls into his inbox. "THAT'S STUPID!"
That clip of the 15 per hour drift with the thanks Bob kills me 🤣
Oh, you guys....you've really made my day. I'd been watching some kinda grim videos, and was looking for something to cheer me up--you've done it, alright. Keep up the good work!
imagine if flat earthers were smart enough to actually fact check before they posted something...oh wait then they wouldn't be flat earthers
Sorry your earth is not a ball. my condolences
@testing Cute story. Zero evidence to back it up.
@testing wrong. it was 53 miles away and from the top of tower hill at warren dunes. The observation in fact fits the globe perfectly fine when elevations and refraction are taken into account. Furthermore Joshua himself in an interview with the news pointed out the refraction present. In fact if you look at his timelapse of the whole thing you see the image stretch the buildings up and down throughout and eventually they invert upon themselves confirming it was indeed high refraction conditions. On top of all of that a surveyor went out there with his equipment and demonstrated that it wasn't until the proper elevation was reached that you could see the tops of the buildings of chicago. he then measured to the buildings and confirmed curvature. Your goose is cooked. Sit down, shut up, and go away. You are dismissed. Thanks for another easy win for the globe kiddo.
@@ScottBott5000 observation, measurement, experiment, calculation, and real world travel say otherwise. Why is all navigation based on a globe? If you think it is not then by all means provide a functioning FE map, model, flight plan, measurement, and a formula to determine exact distances between locations that we can test against reality. If you cannot provide those things then its time for you to kick rocks because your fairy tale is no more. RIP FE. Thanks for another easy win for the globe kiddo. This is where you run away.
@@ScottBott5000 sorry that reality seems to upset you. 🌍
This is hilarious. It's well known flat earthers are gullible and never really do any kind of research but this really highlights their desperation to find that imaginary evidence for flattardia.
You guys are great. Well done.
This reminds me what planarwalk did once during a live stream. The leaked document of earth shape agency and Jeranism jumped right into it.
Great prank. Oh and thanks both Bobs
The 'fifteen degree per hour drift' is unpredictable! Nice
Thanks, bob!
I wait with anticipation for the 15 degree drift clip every time I watch a new SciMan Dan video.
i dO mY oWn reSeArcH really means "I'll believe ANYTHING, really, ANY THING!"
The reason his "pilot friend" wants to stay anonymous is because the "pilot friend" is talking crap.
The whole flat Jenga tower falls over. Again.
They never learn, but hey, they're Flerfers.
So this endorses the deception, embarrassment and publicly humiliating a poor, defenceless flat earther??
Good move, keep it up 👍🏻
Yes it does
I now say "thanks Bob" everytime I see that 15 degree per hour drift clip.
Me too. So, you're not alone!
It's a Pavlovian response.

WOW! This is so awesome!!!!
It’s like flerfs are the public at large 2000 years ago, and you guys are the church.
I think the church isn‘t that old.
@@erikhamann could be. Seems everything they spew from their face holes is just a flat out lie.
i used to be a pilot, but got fired when i flew of the edge of the flat earth. No idea why they fired me, i just flew underneat the earth to my destination in australia. passengers just thought it was night, because the sun was blocked by the earth the whole way
BTW. Wolfie is not just a pilot. He’s a qualified instructor on the top of the list.
Probably one of the best SciManDan videos ever done. Thank you for this.
I really wanted that Kreptactic stuff to be real. MAN, that was good!
Must be somewhat related to Zetetics .... at least in the same area of ”science”.
Toronto, Ontario. 4:55am. Can't sleep. Nothing good on the streamers! What's this? It's Flat Earth Friday! I'd forgotten! All is well again!
I keep waiting for this guy to say, "then I certainly cannot trust the cup in front of me."
Flerf: Which means you've studied, and in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal, and would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I clearly cannot choose the wine in front of me.
_You're trying to trick me into giving away something, It won't work._
It has worked. You've given everything away. I know where the poison is.
_Then make your choice._
I will, and I choose... what in the world can that be!
*Flerf quickly deletes his channel while your back is turned.*
@@richardhanck972 lol
Unfortunately, the flat earth community will see this catfish collaboration as evidence to their beliefs that they are onto something.
I'm not a pilot, I'm an old sailor.
Until recently we used Celestial Navigation.
I'll become a fanatic Flerfer the very moment a Flerfer can explain to me how Celestial Navigation works on the preposterous Space Tortilla 🥙
Not holding my breath while waiting 🧐
Im retired master, i have asked several leading flerfs to explain how a basic navigation formula such as lat=zendis+dec works on a flat earth. To date i have recieved no reply.
The problem with most things that prove that the Earth is not flat is that their child-like minds cannot comprehend it.
Somebody estimated that if some miracle happened and the Earth conformed to the flat Earth model, tomorrow, it would cost around a billion dollars to redesign all of the navigation systems. Satellites would be impossible for one thing. We would also need a lot more bandwidth to keep all of the radio transmitters from interfering with each other. I have no idea how much it would cost to find new laws of physics.
Guys, I'm an astronaut. I can tell you, the Earth is flat. I've been to space.
Source: trust me.
I assume it's that easy to gain the trust of a Flat Earther.

@@ScottBott5000 And you believe that the Earth is stationary despite the fact of star trails and sunsets. You do not have one scrap of evidence to back up your cult indoctrination.
@@ScottBott5000 Know* not think. It's a proven fact, even by flerfers.. "a 15-degree per hour drift", thanks bob.
Hey Dan. I don't pop in as much these days, when you've heard one conspiracy debunked so often it loses the novelty, but stuff like this keeps me going. Keep on being a voice of reason, stay smart, have fun.
I wonder if this guy is aware of the dangers involving dihydrogen monoxide.
That is just one of the 'chemicals' I use to troll the deluded idiots who decree "Chemicals are bad" in the various "health" forums. I think they'ce cottoning onto the 'sodium chloride' one. 😉
reminds me of a silly comic where the hero tricks an environmentalist into signing something by telling him it's a petition to ban "oxy dihydride".
Another fun thing to consider is the F-16 had an internal fuel capacity of around 6500 pounds. For it to fly 1500 mph, let's just say mach 2 for accuracy, it needs to use full reheat (afternurn). In that state, it burns close to 60,000 pounds of fuel per minute. It wouldn't be able to sustain mach 2 for 10 minutes anyway. If taboo knew this, he would see his "airforce pilot" friend was yanking his chain.
I actually was a little surprised that was all it could do, they would have to max out to intercept a cruising Concord.
@@dogwalker666 yeah modern fighters can only do short bursts of super sonic travel. The Concorde was different as the engines were specifically designed to be most efficient at mach 2, thus it could make the trans-Atlantic crossing it did.
@@brianmvalley5634 indeed she was smooth as silk with those RR Olympus engines, looked so graceful, even looked like she was going fast when on the ground.
This is also why they had multiple external fuel tanks that could be tacked on, and also why mid-air refueling capabilities were built-in to many such fighter craft. It's also why most fighter jet fights occur at subsonic intercept while descending from cruising altitude. It allows them to keep their KE up (so they are most maneuverable) while not having to worry about supersonic shockwaves during a turn ripping their wings off. F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, and F-18s all have to operate this way. They only go supersonic to escape or gain distance, and then only in a mostly straight line. And not for long.....it's simply too expensive fuel wise.
(Σ)
@@heliumphoenix indeed that makes sense.
Wow, Wolfie did this?
I knew there was a reason I liked him; he's pretty slick!
One of their biggest responses towards questioners has always been, "Do your own research". Seen in a different light, I think this just means. "You do the research coz I can't be bothered."
LOL I just read some of the flerf snowflakes comments crying about "deception, lies, etc". Oh, the irony is thick enough to cover my pancakes. 🙄
So the curve of the earth can't be eight inches per mile, because that would be too much for pilots to deal with? Well, I would like to see a pilot that could fly straight and level for a mile and NOT vary by more than eight inches up or down.
A bit of rough air can make a plane move up or down by much more than that.
I love it when people don’t take consideration how small you are compared to the earth
Maybe it's the same folks who claim Devils Tower is really a tree stump who imagine they are much bigger than they are.
And I love it when people watch Level by Hibbeler Productions yet still believe the earth is a globe.
And the ratio of the earth’s circumference to average human height is equal to the ratio of average human height to the size of this flat earther’s brain :D
@@sandeepsanghera1069 I also love that! Proves that there are sane people out there that don't get swayed by lunacy!
10 seconds into their "Whistleblower" video, I had already found an issue. Basically, they're saying that the pilot's are altering their flight plans to "appear" that they're flying on a globe. Okay, since that's what they're doing. Why are they doing that? Who do they have to alter these flight plans for? Aren't the people that read these flight plans already "In-the-know" about the Earth being flat? Why do they need to go through all this extra work to prove something that has no necessity to be proven. It affects no one on Earth in any way shape or form. Knowledge of the Earth being actually flat would literally change NOTHING about everyone's daily lives, and no amount of money would be lost as a result. There's a balance that supposedly "depends" on this knowledge that, coincidentally no one in CENTURIES, not even ONE person came forward to blow the whistle, yet every single solitary secret on earth has had at least ONE whistleblower before the secret came out. Hell, we even have whistleblowers for Aliens! I have yet to see one legit official from the government or ANYONE for that matter, coming forward with proof of a Flat earth. The Earth being the ONLY planet in the entire UNIVERSE that is flat, now THAT is something I struggle to believe, especially when you can observably see that the earth is globular. Just look UP!
Hoagie Tablers, the Hero we didn't know we needed.
Me, in total sync with Dan: "Thanks, Bob" 😂
I beat him to it.
I feel bad for these guys. How many times are flat earthers gonna investigate aviation? It's humiliating. Planes are not anti-g cars, they are extremely sophisticated falling gas tanks, lol. You can reach near mach 2 in these birds, but to "fly off the ball", as they depict in their head, it'll require mach 33... this is because you're falling back to the Earth the entire time, 9.8m/s2. It doesn't matter where your nose is and if it's faster than sound, your butt is falling back to Earth, constantly. The falling and, manipulation of, is measured in what, yea, gravity, G's, it's literally a gauge on the plane. Your nose is almost always up in cruise because of, what, yea, gravity. Guess what, steam gauge of this in every plane, ever, AoA. UGGH line of sight radio, beacons, radar based on altitude over horizon, declinations, GPS triangulation, FLCS trimming, altimeter using barometric which follows curve, I mean... I can't... You have to be absolutely insane to believe any pilot is a flat earther.
It's a shame I can only give you 1 like for that.
Love that image of constantly falling back to Earth. That should certainly be used more often 👍👍👍
But wait! I thought flerfs didn't "just blindly believe anything they're told" and "do their own research"?
Were they lying?
oh, actually they have a REALLY bad case of "confirmation bias fallacy".
they will believe anything they think is in their favor, and call everything else fake.
