    A flat earther dies and is waiting at the pearly gates. St Peter says to the man, before entering heaven you may ask God one question. The man asks God , is the earth flat or a globe. God replied, the Earth is most definitely a globe . The man exclaimed, holy crap , the conspiracy runs deeper than I could have ever imagined.

I found this video and showed it to him. He is actually pretty good at math and such, so he checked over the (very obvious) things that you stated in the video. He is no longer a flat earther, and frankly feels stupid for believing it for so long.. Now I just gotta convince him the moon landing was real imo. Thank you though, helped out a lot man.

People like this aren't stupid (like we know who) but is basically lack of information. They can digest new knowledge and correlate with what knowledge they have. But it happens that the poor guy stumbled upon the flat model first, before his good friend provided him with a source of information for the guy to rethink the earth model.
      Its like how school teach really basic science stuff like if you put static on an object, it can attract water because water is a polar molecule. Very simple to prove water is a polar molecule. Its replicatable. Later down the line in education, you discover more stuff about intramolecular forces, and electrostatic forces. You now realise that while it is true that water is polar because surface tension of water is caused by hydrogen bonding, the forces aren't enough to curve flowing water. And its simply electrostatic charge on the object that curved the water. Still simple and coherent and replicable.

      Actually his agenda is to vaccinate the entire globe. Dave's agenda is not to debunk flat earth but to attack anyone that questions whether vaccinations are safe or not. He's just using the flat earthers to smear what he calls "anti-vaxers".
      This whole agenda is to smear anti-vaxers. Dave uses the same technique that flat earthers use of guilt by association in order to achieve this without actually arguing the vaccination issue on merits.
      Mr. Dave is using the same technique flat earthers use but because you don't notice he's using baseless rhetoric to smear antivaxers just like the flat earthers use baseless rhetoric to smear those who know and can prove the earth is a globe.
      Why don't you notice it? Because he's deliberately hiding it by using real science to debunk flat earthers so that you'll trust him -- so that when he attacks "anti-vaxers" (his way of smearing people that dare to ask questions about the safety of vaccinations) you won't notice he's doing it because he first gained your trust by using real science to (correctly) discredit flat earthers.

    Once had an older friend who was brilliant but had formal education only through elementary school (in the 1910's). He had unparalleled knowledge of human nature but knew no science. One day he argued for flat Earth based on the following argument: "Let's say I leave my house, go have a meal at a restaurant, a drink at a bar, and have sex at her house with the cute girl I picked up, and come home and my house is still here. If the earth moves, how is that possible?" He was utterly convinced by my counter argument: "Let's say you are in your seat on the train going from LA to Chicago. You go have a meal in the dining car, a drink in the club car, and have sex in a berth in the sleeping car with the fine woman you met. Then you go back to your seat and it's still where it was when you left. Does that mean the train didn't move?" A light went on in his head and he understood. At the age of eighty he became an eager science student, learning everything I could teach him. He lived to 101, getting to see the new millennium, having been born in the last few days of the nineteenth century. Rest in peace, Tony.

    I'm a hobby (astro)physicist but psychologist by trade and I thought of a psychological model to go with the flat earth society and why it is so much more prevalent in very meritocratic societies - i.e. the USA.
    A large part of US culture is Calvinistic in essence saying with hard work come more blessings. This translates into the "American Dream" where anyone can become anything regardless of heritage only depending on their own talents and efforts. Unfortunately this also puts a lot of blame on those who, well, don't get very far on the social hierarchy. The mind is wonderful at compensating for negative thoughts and emotions, rationalising them away unconsciously in amazing ways.
    My hypothesis is now, that most flat earth followers are a special type of narcissist personality who fail to reach a societal level they think they deserve. You can then either reevaluate your self-image (which is painful) or you re-evaluate society. By subscribing to a conspiracy theory you not only elevate yourself to an elitist, enlightened level only attained by few, you also simultaneously degrade every person that you previously had to "look up to", e.g. academics, politicians and "smarter" people. Furthermore, you find others with exactly the same mindset and company is always good.
    That is also the reason why challenging any flat earth follower with rational arguments will most likely amount to nothing, because following your logic they would have to challenge their self-image and re-evaluate their social standing.
    And the unscientific part of me relishes the thought of a perfect trap where you either have to get down to the bottom with your argumentation or admit you fit into the diagnosis of an anti-authoritarian narcissist... But that is really just a side note.

      Of course, anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the globe earth model wouldn't be so silly as to propose that "north" means "up" as on our globe Earth, "up" means "away from the center of the planet". Since the ocean suface is equidistant from the center of the planet both in Chile and in Mexico, ships going from the former to the latter wouldn't be going up. Anyone proposing otherwise in regards to a globe-shaped Earth is just silly.

    If the earth was flat, and the atmosphere was contained by a dome, wouldn’t atmospheric pressure lessen as you moved south? Because there’d be less air above you as you move closer to where the dome meets the earth.
    The flat earth model also fails to explain earthquakes and satellite technology
    Edit: actually there would be no pressure gradient anywhere. So pressure wouldn’t decrease as you increased in altitude if there was a dome

We have realms which pass through each other ethereally, a world of mountains and streams upon the back of a great god or beast, the entire world existing upon the side and base of a mountain, "traditional" flat earth (hilariously, even unpopular at the time due to being incompatible with navigation), and so many more. We have worlds of rings, small pocket worlds created by divine pantheons, and even worlds born out of the battles of primordial gods, but flerfs chose "it is a pancake kinda" out of all of them?

      I fear that reporting them is only going to force them to place their content under a different category (except for those exercising prejudice or discrimination). Let them have their 'conspiracy crowd' (there aren't very many). I think an in-depth study will show most views come from those who oppose the concept rather than those who support it. WE, the skeptics, are the target crowd.
      The danger is that these conspiracies are very seductive to people who feel they are in a particularly negative position ONLY as a result of others around them. It feels good to mistake placing blame with feeling 'awakened'. FE videos are huge money makers because the idea supports this good feeling and doesn't treat it as taboo, or insane. The channels are only using these poor souls. I hate to say it but Dave has now supported FE (indirectly) by posting this. That is why you'll never see space agencies get involved like this.

      @Dylan Stewart yeaa see I tried to find one but istead I found out that most of flat earthers don‘t accually believe that there are other planets out there... they say, that they are lights in the sky just like the sun... so for them they are what we would call „stars“ but you know... for them they are lightning balls... sorry man... was disappointed too, but what can we expect...

    Here's my question if the Earth flat, why would everyone lie about it? Why would governments lie about this? What do they gain from tell you the Earth is a different shape?

      of, a few of them say, "THE government is trying to hide god."
      utterly absurd.
      if "THE" government wanted to "hide god" they would ban churches and bibles, not lie about things that ANYONE can see for themselves just by looking from a tall building!

      Consistency isn't flat earthers' strong suit. "Hiding God" seems to be the most common answer, but when asked directly, most of them tend to avoid answering and give responses like so they can keep funneling money to NASA or something like that. They seem to think atheists are much more numerous and powerful than they really are.

    This is getting out of hand. To think how far we've come in terms of technology and our understanding of the universe and yet more and more people seem intent on dragging us back into the dark ages. From alternative medicine proponents an antivaxers to Flat earthers and Young Earth Creationists, it's an absolute epidemic. And it's only going to get worse as we continue to lag further and further behind in areas like education and research.

      There is no dark ages, never was and never will be! Why I say that, is because God created the Heaven and Earth, in the book of Genius chapter 1 God tells us that He created everything! Not the big bang theory, we didn't come from Ape's, nor is the Globe spinning thousands of miles around the Sun! If you do some what of the Bible where does it tell you we are spinning, and we came from Ape's?

      @@douglasbachman9868 It's almost as if the Bible isn't a science textbook and was written by primitive people who were speculating about how things came to be. 😱
      The term "dark ages" refers to the medieval period when things like medicine and technology were practically nonexistent and the culture was dominated by practices that caused untold consequences. Are you seriously trying to argue that practices like blood letting and dumping refuse in the street were good ideas? That discoveries like the workings of the circulatory system and the germ theory disease weren't completely revolutionary?
      Evolution doesn't say humans evolved from apes, we share a common ancestor. If god created everything as it appears today, why do we see a gradual increase in complexity spanning millions of years throughout the fossil record? This increase in complexity is mirrored in genetics. If creation were true, all fossils would resemble the creatures we see today. I could go on and on about the evidence for evolution. I have degree in biology, after all.
      Inflation theory was first proposed by a CHRISTIAN PRIEST! Red shifting of galaxies and cosmic background radiation support the theory of Inflation.
      What about Jeran and Bob doing seperate experiments that show the curvature of the earth and 15 degrees of rotation per hour, as the heliocentric model predicts? Why can't you flat earthers predict eclipses like we can with the heliocentric model? How does the fact that the stars rotate around two different poles fit with the flat earth? How do sunsets work on a flat earth? (Don't give me that vanishing point BS. If that were true the sun would disappear uniformly, not from the bottom up.)
      Get your head out of the Bible and actually learn about what you're trying to debunk. Presenting a strawman version of the theories Kent Hovind style just proves you've no idea what you are talking about.
      If you want to believe that god used Inflation and Evolution to create the world, knock yourself out. But denying these things exist, despite all evidence to the contrary, is just asinine.

      I don't know what kind of treatment you're referring to, but if it's science-based, then that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about homeopathy, crystal healing, reiki, the really really dumb stuff.
