I don't get how flerfers think the sun just rotates around the Earth, yet everyone sees it rise and set over the horizon and not fade away into the distance in the sky. These aren't smart people.
Questioning why astronauts need pressurized suits in space if it's a vacuum... the most basic answer is because our bodies are normally under pressure from the atmosphere. 14.7 psi at sea level. Vacuum = death. Is he saying air pressure is fake? A simple measurement like that. Where does it end. Of all the flerfers featured here recently, this one kinda creeps me out the most. Not quite sure what the heck is going on here.
@@MattExzy that's the trouble, he openly claims that gravity doesn't exist so trying to explain air pressure to him, let alone pressure gradients, isn't going to work.

This reminds me of a guy I met last year who learned that I liked space and got excited because he said, “I genuinely want to have somebody explain” some of the basic questions about the moon landings. Where are the stars? Why no crater? That stuff. And I got about one sentence into camera exposures when he interrupted and went on a rant that sounded EXACTLY like the guy in this video. Then he told me I needed to read 20 books that will show me the “truth” of our world. Only then could I talk to him on his level. When I suggested one book (I think it was Sagan) he immediately dismisses this as me showing how little I know about the universe. What I’m saying is that this type of person exhibits a very similar personality/speaking style. Once you spot it, it saves you a ton of energy, because they are intellectual dead ends.
"I wrote the most important legal argument in history." As an attorney, I can assure you that this didn't happen. It didn't happen so much that it created a lot of jealousy amongst all the other things that didn't happen
Wait... is he honestly saying that if we were on a spinning globe we would FEEL it??? So, he thinks he has the super power of being able to feel movement? Does he not drive in cars or fly in airplanes? Man, we would be screwed if we felt those forces.
While there's no way to feel or even detect an unchanging velocity, we can detect a change in velocity (an acceleration), and the rotation we experience on the surface of a globe is accelerating us continuously in a slightly different direction as the Earth rotates. (Some?) flat earthers seem to think that we should be able to feel that acceleration from rotation (ironically, because it would only exist on a globe), and they would be technically correct - there IS a detectable acceleration there, which can be demonstrated by experiments like the Foucault Pendulum. But it's just too small of an acceleration for humans to detect it naturally.
I love how they happily use all the technology that relies on the very science they keep demanding can't exist to transmit thier utter nonsense. The irony is lost on them.
Flat f*scists hate real world physics, but don't mind when it provides them with water, food, power, telecoms, healthcare, heating, transportation and all the rest. They will never put their money where their mouth is, because they can't.
Why are they amazed at how they aren't blown away by something going 1000 miles per hour but they're perfectly fine not being pressed against the back of a plane?
Because planes don't exist in their reality remember? It's all just a giant Hollywood set when anybody walks on and they gas you to sleep. Flerfers are morons.

Dan has become quite the gish gallop rodeo tamer through lots and lots of practice. I listened to this video while preoccupied with other stuff so I got very little of the "arguments" / counter-arguments, they were more of a blur. The net impact however - not on the content level but as a superficial impression - was a calm, concise takedown, point by point. I'm pretty sure this is exactly how one should deal with a gish galloper. While that is next to impossible during the ride it can be done with a recording.
Shi$!? That’s why we not going anywhere do not bring evolution in to part let’s stick on try to convert the flat brain people, then when the rest of your family from chimpanzees and orangutan 🦍 became mankind we talk about evolution!
Ben Shapiro another master of it. Once you see they're doing it, let them ramble on, then ask them do they plan on debating the ACTUAL argument that was presented or just going to continue to wander off into the Twilight Zone. It'll give them the hint, you're not falling for their BS, and they'll have to change tactics. A college kid did this to Shapiro and instantly shut Shapiro up.
It's so mind numbing. In this case he knows more than experts in every field. From law to environmental science.... Hard to not end this with a "fkn idiot"....
I told one them since they don't understand math or believe it explains the globe with geometry then they don't believe they have 10 fingers then....I never got a response.
@wiseman312 I ask them why everything else in the known universe is a sphere but Earth is flat and where the magic dome came from. I get the same answer as you get.
@SunblokAnsand It's the only logical way to end it. My favorite part is how he is so proud of sending a letter to scotus. In his nugget, that makes him a genius.
The irony of him telling scientists to go do something “useful” while he uses a medium (the internet, computers, WiFi, smartphones, etc.) that exists precisely due to the years of hard work and research of scientists, including astrophysicists.
While flerfers are totally retarded, they don't typically think that the Van Allen belts are real. They just use them in their arguments against manned space flight because it's part of the globe model. And is used as one of the reasons why the globe model supposedly doesn't make sense.
ME: What is on the bottom side of a flat earth? FE: Lava. ME: What prevents the lava from drifting away from a flat earth? FE: Dome. ME: So there is a semi hemispheric dome on the top side of the earth, and a semi hemispheric dome on the bottom side of the Earth, forming a globe around the flat earth? FE: [ crickets ]

I'd love to see what he's submitted to SCOTUS - this greatest legal argument ever. He reminds me of a friend I had in college decades and decades ago, even the hyperspeech approach to argumentation.
That man actually said this "this is the trouble with science in this world these days, the way that people think they know things, they dont" Literally sums up flat earthers
he don't think that he knows things, he believe that he knows things. That a big difference. That guy is 90% personal incredulity, the rest is dumbness.
Don't you ever wish you could "magically" teleport one of these guys to the space station and ask them to step outside if they don't believe it is real?

The Supreme Court thing is undoubtedly him saying he filed an amicus brief without knowing the words or knowing the insignificant feat that is. All it requires is a filing fee and sticking to formatting rules. Everything else beyond that is delusion.
@puffdaddy69 Nah man, there's something about the combination of ignorance, confidence, and that shitty attitude they all have that just makes me wanna explode. 🤣
@puffdaddy69 In a way, it is torture! It is truly sad and scary that people such as this are truly stupid and uneducated! You would think by now that with all we have accomplished and with all the scientific evidence and documentation we have at this point that flat earthers would choose to be more educated and have better critical thinking abilities! But NO! Flat earthers choose to be ignorant and uneducated! So yes it is torture to live in a society where people such as this still exist today!
Don't do drugs, kids. This dude is methed up. Of all his ranting, he offered up exactly zero reasons why he is correct and the globe is wrong. The most accurate thing he said in all of this was at the 12:41 mark when he says "I don't know". That's correct, sir... you genuinely don't know.
I actually think he's just a bit of a potato. I could be wrong though, I have absolutely no idea who this human shaped potato is. I've seen some pretty methed up characters though, and he seems pretty sober. Can you look up submissions to SCOTUS? Be funny to read his super awesome contribution to American law institute place thing. I think I'm drunk.
They never come up with any real reasons why the globe is wrong, or to prove the earth is flat. they just say things are fake, space is fake, the ISS is fake, gravity is fake etc. etc.
When the flat earth geographer says “this is the problem with science in the world today, people think they know things but they don’t, they want to know but they don’t” may be one of the most ironic things a flat earther has ever said.
It's funny in a sad way. He kept trying to laugh and talk mockingly to whomever it was in his chat, but at the same time you could hear this distinct anger in his voice, especially once he got to the parts about space and the moon. Instead of debating the person in his chat, he was more annoyed at how dare anyone come to his chat and have an opposing thought.
As soon as anybody says the Earth is spinning you know their 😂knowledge is zilch.Also this guy thinks he is smarter than all the great scientists that have spent their entire lives giving us all the knowledge we have today . Stupid is for life with this 1clown
"It's kinda hard to get it into your head in a way that makes any sense that is gonna be acceptable to your brain because you just don't want to accept it. It's not some gotcha thing." - a flat earther This is how I will describe irony from now on.
Dan, your patience with these tools is incredible. I don't even make the effort to debunk them, and they exhaust my patience. I don't know how you force yourself to put in the effort to debunk them time and time again, despite nothing new being brought to the table by the flat earthers. I applaud your mental fortitude. Well done, good sir. Well done.
I know a person with a borderline personality disorder in the middle of a manic episode when I see one, and yeah; this "Messiah" needs to close TikTok and take his antipsychotics. The way he had zero focus and just ranted or changed the subject mid sentence as his attention shifted focus; this was like trying to talk to my dad when he's been alone too long and gets himself worked up about a hypothetical conversation he's been dwelling on and just spews at the first person to socialise with him. I kind of feel bad for people like this because they do have serious mental and/or behavioural issues that could otherwise by kept in check if they seek and maintain treatment, but the very nature of these illnesses and disorders have a habit of making most patients averse to the idea of help because they convince themselves it's everyone else that is "wrong, blind, being puppeted, etc" and the treatments are just trying to make them stop seeing the "reality" they have.
As someone with borderline personality disorder myself, I completely agree. That's precisely what's happening here. The difference between him and me is that I'm aware of my mental illness and work to control it, whereas he clearly does little to control it or manage any form of self-awareness. Admittedly this particular flavor of mental illness is extremely difficult to work with, and if you're not spending substantial amounts of time working to control it, it easily gets away from you.
Yeah, textbook borderline personality exhibiting paranoid and narcissistic traits. They think they're in communication with the higher power and are chosen to enlighten everyone else. Hard to treat even with therapy and medication.
Agreed. Can't help feeling a little sorry for him. Unfortunately in these times it's too easy for these weaknesses to be exploited by a growing industry of misinformation. Watching such people I feel akin to the Victorians who used to take a Sunday stroll to mock and gawp at the inmates of the asylums.
Definitely bring him back. This guy is different to the other flat earthers. Other flat earthers are just dumb and ignorant (and I think in some cases, just faking it for the money). This guy is a straight up narcissist. He's not just questioning the globe, just flat out "everyone's dumb except me."
Man, the narcissism in flat earth is DEEP! I don't know how it didn't implode upon being founded with all of these narcissists arguing with each other. They really have a way of inflating their sense of self-worth.
I saw someone mention the other day.'If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now'. Irrefutable proof of a globe earth.....
Reminds me of the guy with the toy helicopter, launching it from the bonnet of a car, while parked, then while moving, to prove the Earth is flat. He never did respond to me asking him to explain, in the case of a car being driven at 60mph (100kmh), how a butterfly can fly around inside the car, and not be flung and be stuck to the back inside window of the car.
What an absolutely infuriating individual. He's certainly mastered the art of saying so much, so fast that nobody can find an opportunity to object. Can I just emphasize the very first thing he said about the sun? Look at these words: "The sun is too high - and going too quickly - for us to really have that good of a look at it for too long after it's disappeared beyond our vision." The sun is going so fast that we can't see it *after it has disappeared.* Wow.
I noticed the phrase _"beyond_ our vision". You sort of know what his explanation's going to be for sunsets. I'd like to stand with him on a beach watching a sunrise or sunset with a long lens on a camera and tripod just to talk about what we are seeing.
So somehow for a person say 1000km further looking at the same sun coming into view, has a slow sun and for the person seeing the sunset it speeds off, so the sun can move slowly and fast at the same time. Quite amazing
I think the SCOTUS thing probably did happen. He wrote what he thought was a legal argument, stuck it in an envelope, and mailed it to the Supreme Court of the United States. Then the person who sorts their mail said, "...da fuck is this?" and tossed it.
I mean it might have been really important in the sense that they though “dude, tf is this sh*t” and ended amicus briefs because they just didn’t want to deal with this anymore! 😂
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Well can you imagine this guy being able to keep a job? He'll need to live at his parents' house or in government housing for sure.

Listening to flat earthers hurts me. It's like... can open, worms everywhere. I can't help asking myself how can anyone reach adulthood and be like that. They are so ignorant they're disturbing to listen to. Dan, you're a hero for doing this. It takes a strong stomach to listen to this kind of crap every day 😂👍👏👏👏
I let someone go for being a flat-earther - after an issue with a IT service call where not only was the issue not fixed but he disconnected the feed from the Satellite receiver because satellites don't exist. Needless to say the client wasn't very happy but another tech was in the building so it was a fast fix. A month later we got a request for a reference from a job he had applied to (HughesNet ) we debated but in the end just confirmed he HAD worked for us..
Relative speed - Here’s a great example - Driving in your car. If you’re in your car, and the car is going a steady 55mph, how fast are YOU going? Also 55mph. Do you feel any wind on your face if the windows are closed? No, because all of the air inside the car is ALSO travelling at 55mph. Your arms are not pinned to the sheet by the speed, because your arms are moving at 55mph. If there is a FLY in the car, it doesn’t get pinned to the rear window, because the FLY is also moving at 55mph!
He is SO confident that the atmosphere is held rigidly in one place while the earth independently rotates beneath it. Why are these people so convinced that their oversimplified models are reality?
I read a long time ago that this idea somewhere in the 19th century really was considered. The balloon went up, earth passes by, the balloon goeds down..tadaa! A nice way to go from Paris to London say. I wonder if they realised that going back with the same means of transportation was going to take a little bit more time....
"the most important legal argument ever..." yeah, right. The brain on this one is REALLY SPECIAL :) It's nice to meet such a humble and honest person. Evolution took a nice turn when this guy was made.
Except that he said "I've wrote the most important legal argument ever and submitted it to SCOTUS." Submitted it... I.e., mailed it in... Not that he's wrote a legal argument for SCOTUS. Not that any Justice has actually seen it. Not that any Justice is prepared to use it as a part of any case that they are working on. People write arguments and send them to Justices all of the time. Hell you and I could write something right now in this comments section that either agrees with a decision they've made or disagrees with it, or have nothing at all to do with anything they are debating and send it to them, then we could also turn around and make his exact same claim, "We've wrote the most important legal argument ever and submitted it to the SCOTUS." Just because we made the claim, doesn't mean the letter makes it past an assistant who reads the nonsense thinking it was potentially fan mail from a highschooler looking to go into law as a career and immediately throws it in the trash recognizing it as the garbage it is. Oh, excuse me, submitting it to the trash can.
He said he wrote the most important legal argument ever. No actual lawyer would ever dare to say something like that. I imagine he did some crayon scribblings about being a sovcit.
why do people keep ripping on "owning yourself"? that's weird... how about him just being a straight up fool... the entire foundation of America is formed on being sovereign, not being owned by some king, etc...
"that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of acceleration being experienced on that little point" That almost killed me. This guy is trying to make out he's intelligent yet doesn't know the difference between acceleration and velocity. 😂😂 Love it.
I can't help hearing his argument translated as "bullet trains are impossible because passengers would be crushed at the back of the cars and/or subjected to gale-force winds if a train went that fast". The flat earth response to analogies often consists of just dismissing them as "that's a different and irrelevant thing"-being cynical, I speculate it's because analogies offer a tool that might, very occasionally, cut through their Gish Gallop-however, if they bother to engage with the analogy, I imagine they'd make a big deal about the train being enclosed, even though the train being enclosed is either analogous to "no friction in space" (Earth is sufficiently isolated from external factors manipulating the atmosphere that it might as well be enclosed) or "the gases making up the air came from the crust-or something roughly stationary wrt the crust-so it started out with the same angular momentum as Earth" (the enclosed train carries the air inside it along with it just like all its other contents).
As a member of the bar of the US Supreme Court who actually had a case there, at best this guy wrote a one page amicus brief with crayon and mailed it in which was probably placed in the circular file.
Let me tell you, it's always a gamble. My sister has two children with mental illness, and no one asks for that. It just happens. And I think this guy is bipolar too, judging by this manic presentation, but of course I'm no doctor and can't diagnose anyone.
Writing a brief and submitting it to SCOTUS is completely meaningless unless the court decides to hear the brief. Anyone can submit a brief and they get thousands of briefs each year that they reject. It's kind of like saying "I'm going to be rich because I buy lottery tickets!"

Regarding jettisoning the lander, it's very common for large equipment to be abandoned in big projects. E.g. tunnel boring machines are often buried after completion (think there's 4 buried above the Channel Tunnel). Obviously with the moon lander it was done to save weight (and fuel), which made the mission cheaper and easier. When certain modules have done their job why keep them? In the case of the tunnel borers, it's a similar idea - It would have been too costly and there wouldn't really be a use for the specialised machines after completion.

The Dunning-Kruger is strong with this one and I find his lack of Science disturbing. He spends more time insulting people's intelligence and bragging that he knows more than trained scientists and engineers than actually presenting any actual scientific discourse.
Which is why he's smarter than the rest of us: because he's always right about everything, and never needs to learn a thing. I bet he was classified as "gifted" in 1st grade and has just coasted since then, and his parents don't have the heart to kick him out because they know he couldn't survive.

Dan has become quite the gish gallop rodeo tamer through lots and lots of practice. I listened to this video while preoccupied with other stuff so I got very little of the "arguments" / counter-arguments, they were more of a blur. The net impact however - not on the content level but as a superficial impression - was a calm, concise takedown, point by point. I'm pretty sure this is exactly how one should deal with a gish galloper. While that is next to impossible during the ride it can be done with a recording.

Shi$!? That’s why we not going anywhere do not bring evolution in to part let’s stick on try to convert the flat brain people, then when the rest of your family from chimpanzees and orangutan 🦍 became mankind we talk about evolution!
You've just described Conservative politics.
Ben Shapiro another master of it. Once you see they're doing it, let them ramble on, then ask them do they plan on debating the ACTUAL argument that was presented or just going to continue to wander off into the Twilight Zone. It'll give them the hint, you're not falling for their BS, and they'll have to change tactics. A college kid did this to Shapiro and instantly shut Shapiro up.
It's incredible how these people struggle with elementary school math yet are so confident that they know more than astrophysicists.
He clearly also doesn't know the difference between velocity and acceleration. One of the first basic concepts in physics.
It's so mind numbing. In this case he knows more than experts in every field. From law to environmental science.... Hard to not end this with a "fkn idiot"....
I told one them since they don't understand math or believe it explains the globe with geometry then they don't believe they have 10 fingers then....I never got a response.
@wiseman312 I ask them why everything else in the known universe is a sphere but Earth is flat and where the magic dome came from. I get the same answer as you get.
@SunblokAnsand It's the only logical way to end it. My favorite part is how he is so proud of sending a letter to scotus. In his nugget, that makes him a genius.
The irony of him telling scientists to go do something “useful” while he uses a medium (the internet, computers, WiFi, smartphones, etc.) that exists precisely due to the years of hard work and research of scientists, including astrophysicists.

Glober: What about the Van Allen belts?
Flerf: Oh yeah, those are real!
Flerfs are the ultimate cherry pickers
Or according to this guy, the Eddie Van Halen belts. They rock!
While flerfers are totally retarded, they don't typically think that the Van Allen belts are real. They just use them in their arguments against manned space flight because it's part of the globe model. And is used as one of the reasons why the globe model supposedly doesn't make sense.

This guy is a master in the art of the Gish gallop. As defined by Wikipedia: The Gish gallop is a rhetorical technique in which a person in a debate attempts to overwhelm their opponent by providing an excessive number of arguments with no regard for the accuracy or strength of those arguments. Gish galloping prioritizes the quantity of the galloper's arguments at the expense of their quality. The term was coined in 1994 by anthropologist Eugenie Scott, who named it after American creationist Duane Gish and argued that Gish used the technique frequently when challenging the scientific fact of evolution."

he don't think that he knows things, he believe that he knows things. That a big difference. That guy is 90% personal incredulity, the rest is dumbness.
Literally sums up theists, too.
That was a long way to say ‘I really don’t understand anything and I don’t trust clever people’.
You nailed it. They don't trust people more intelligent than themselves. They feel like the wool is being pulled over their eyes so they lash out.

I think about that every time one of them mentions space tbh
You can show them up a lift at a tall building, if they continue to tell you that gravity does not exist.
Tell them to go to the beach and watch a ship go over the horizon ,then race to the top of the nearest tall building and watch it again.Then they can leap off the building and discover gravity and upon hitting the footpath find out how electro-magnetism binds atoms together.

But NO! Flat earthers choose to be ignorant and uneducated! So yes it is torture to live in a society where people such as this still exist today!
Don't do drugs, kids. This dude is methed up. Of all his ranting, he offered up exactly zero reasons why he is correct and the globe is wrong. The most accurate thing he said in all of this was at the 12:41 mark when he says "I don't know". That's correct, sir... you genuinely don't know.

When the flat earth geographer says “this is the problem with science in the world today, people think they know things but they don’t, they want to know but they don’t” may be one of the most ironic things a flat earther has ever said.

It's funny in a sad way. He kept trying to laugh and talk mockingly to whomever it was in his chat, but at the same time you could hear this distinct anger in his voice, especially once he got to the parts about space and the moon. Instead of debating the person in his chat, he was more annoyed at how dare anyone come to his chat and have an opposing thought.
As soon as anybody says the Earth is spinning you know their 😂knowledge is zilch.Also this guy thinks he is smarter than all the great scientists that have spent their entire lives giving us all the knowledge we have today . Stupid is for life with this 1clown

"It's kinda hard to get it into your head in a way that makes any sense that is gonna be acceptable to your brain because you just don't want to accept it. It's not some gotcha thing." - a flat earther

@@Not_An_EV Let's be honest here, ANY "explanation" from a flat Earther doesn't make sense.
"The way they think they know things." He says without a hint of irony.
I was thinking about the same irony of what he was saying about people who had false ideas in their heads.
I know a person with a borderline personality disorder in the middle of a manic episode when I see one, and yeah; this "Messiah" needs to close TikTok and take his antipsychotics. The way he had zero focus and just ranted or changed the subject mid sentence as his attention shifted focus; this was like trying to talk to my dad when he's been alone too long and gets himself worked up about a hypothetical conversation he's been dwelling on and just spews at the first person to socialise with him. I kind of feel bad for people like this because they do have serious mental and/or behavioural issues that could otherwise by kept in check if they seek and maintain treatment, but the very nature of these illnesses and disorders have a habit of making most patients averse to the idea of help because they convince themselves it's everyone else that is "wrong, blind, being puppeted, etc" and the treatments are just trying to make them stop seeing the "reality" they have.
yeah i think you might have a point here. to say it carefully.
As someone with borderline personality disorder myself, I completely agree. That's precisely what's happening here. The difference between him and me is that I'm aware of my mental illness and work to control it, whereas he clearly does little to control it or manage any form of self-awareness. Admittedly this particular flavor of mental illness is extremely difficult to work with, and if you're not spending substantial amounts of time working to control it, it easily gets away from you.
Yeah, textbook borderline personality exhibiting paranoid and narcissistic traits. They think they're in communication with the higher power and are chosen to enlighten everyone else. Hard to treat even with therapy and medication.
Agreed. Can't help feeling a little sorry for him. Unfortunately in these times it's too easy for these weaknesses to be exploited by a growing industry of misinformation. Watching such people I feel akin to the Victorians who used to take a Sunday stroll to mock and gawp at the inmates of the asylums.
It's what I call "Talking AT you" not too you
Definitely bring him back. This guy is different to the other flat earthers. Other flat earthers are just dumb and ignorant (and I think in some cases, just faking it for the money). This guy is a straight up narcissist. He's not just questioning the globe, just flat out "everyone's dumb except me."
Man, the narcissism in flat earth is DEEP! I don't know how it didn't implode upon being founded with all of these narcissists arguing with each other. They really have a way of inflating their sense of self-worth.

Where are all of the Flat Earth surveyors?
Reminds me of the guy with the toy helicopter, launching it from the bonnet of a car, while parked, then while moving, to prove the Earth is flat. He never did respond to me asking him to explain, in the case of a car being driven at 60mph (100kmh), how a butterfly can fly around inside the car, and not be flung and be stuck to the back inside window of the car.
What an absolutely infuriating individual. He's certainly mastered the art of saying so much, so fast that nobody can find an opportunity to object. Can I just emphasize the very first thing he said about the sun? Look at these words:
"The sun is too high - and going too quickly - for us to really have that good of a look at it for too long after it's disappeared beyond our vision."
The sun is going so fast that we can't see it *after it has disappeared.*
Wow.
Yeah, not exactly genius level logic coming from this douche canoe.
It's called a Gish gallop.
I noticed the phrase _"beyond_ our vision". You sort of know what his explanation's going to be for sunsets. I'd like to stand with him on a beach watching a sunrise or sunset with a long lens on a camera and tripod just to talk about what we are seeing.
So somehow for a person say 1000km further looking at the same sun coming into view, has a slow sun and for the person seeing the sunset it speeds off, so the sun can move slowly and fast at the same time. Quite amazing
I think the SCOTUS thing probably did happen. He wrote what he thought was a legal argument, stuck it in an envelope, and mailed it to the Supreme Court of the United States. Then the person who sorts their mail said, "...da fuck is this?" and tossed it.

Relative speed - Here’s a great example - Driving in your car.
If you’re in your car, and the car is going a steady 55mph, how fast are YOU going? Also 55mph. Do you feel any wind on your face if the windows are closed? No, because all of the air inside the car is ALSO travelling at 55mph. Your arms are not pinned to the sheet by the speed, because your arms are moving at 55mph. If there is a FLY in the car, it doesn’t get pinned to the rear window, because the FLY is also moving at 55mph!

I can't help hearing his argument translated as "bullet trains are impossible because passengers would be crushed at the back of the cars and/or subjected to gale-force winds if a train went that fast".
The flat earth response to analogies often consists of just dismissing them as "that's a different and irrelevant thing"-being cynical, I speculate it's because analogies offer a tool that might, very occasionally, cut through their Gish Gallop-however, if they bother to engage with the analogy, I imagine they'd make a big deal about the train being enclosed, even though the train being enclosed is either analogous to "no friction in space" (Earth is sufficiently isolated from external factors manipulating the atmosphere that it might as well be enclosed) or "the gases making up the air came from the crust-or something roughly stationary wrt the crust-so it started out with the same angular momentum as Earth" (the enclosed train carries the air inside it along with it just like all its other contents).

Yep, I haven't heard such nonsense since boomers claiming they played golf on the moon.
Regarding jettisoning the lander, it's very common for large equipment to be abandoned in big projects. E.g. tunnel boring machines are often buried after completion (think there's 4 buried above the Channel Tunnel).
Obviously with the moon lander it was done to save weight (and fuel), which made the mission cheaper and easier. When certain modules have done their job why keep them? In the case of the tunnel borers, it's a similar idea - It would have been too costly and there wouldn't really be a use for the specialised machines after completion.

Flat earther is being asked to explain sunset. Flat earther says its a trivial thing, let's move on.
I know why flattie doesn't want to talk about sunsets. I get it.
That made me almost spit out the toast I was having. I'm amazed a grown man would say that online knowing everyone he's ever met, will know he lied to them when he told them he stopped 'using'.
It's when the sun gets "beyond your vision". Let's move on to more important stuff rather than getting hung up on tiny details.
Gawd, could you imagine having this goober as an employee?
Do you actually think that he's employable?
He would never get hired. He's literally too stupid to do what I do.
I am willing to bet that IF he indeed wrote an argument for the Supreme Court it is Sovereign Citizen related.
Yes, he has a major sovcit vibe.
Sure, his "most important legal argument" was him telling the scotus how they don't have any jurisdiction over him.
I would personally front the cost of sending this man to space if I could see the look on his face as he voluntarily exited the air lock only to experience the vacuum of space in nothing but his flat earth T-shirt and jeans.
The delusion is strong with this one.
“This SCOTUS thing didn’t happen did it?” - Scimandan 2023 best quote ever
I like to imagine he just wrote "to supreme court" on an envelope and dropped it in a mailbox.
@@TheRenofox written in crayon and faeces
I thought it was gonna be the face palm clip but that was much better
It was probably an amicus brief. Anyone can send those to the court.
@@neilward9281 The one crayon left that he hadn't eaten...
Everything he says about "globers" is the exact same thing we say about The Flerfs. The difference is, WE HAVE ACTUAL FACTS, EVIDENCE, AND PROVABLE, REPEATABLE EXPERIMENTS.
They have "theories" and "possibilities". We are not the same 😂
The Dunning-Kruger is strong with this one and I find his lack of Science disturbing. He spends more time insulting people's intelligence and bragging that he knows more than trained scientists and engineers than actually presenting any actual scientific discourse.
If he had used the proper legal term 'Amicus brief' for his submission to SCOTUS, I still wouldn't have believed him.
If he filed any brief, it was a Jabberwocky brief.
“This SCOTUS thing never happened. Did it?” I spewed my drink. You owe me a cup, if tea, Dan!😀
He's so arrogant even though his entire argument/'proof' is "my brain can't comprehend it so it cannot be true" 😂😂
Which is why he's smarter than the rest of us: because he's always right about everything, and never needs to learn a thing.
I bet he was classified as "gifted" in 1st grade and has just coasted since then, and his parents don't have the heart to kick him out because they know he couldn't survive.
Flat Earth Geographer sounds like Dane Cook doing stand-up... laugh and all.
The Earth being flat is the biggest joke! 😂
My favorite thing is that Dan doesn't even have to debunk the guy. The flerf's own rambling is enough.
