    The earth’s surface is about 70% water. The vast majority of that water is not carbonated, therefore the earth is flat.

    Everybody knows the earth is round… like a pancake (or pizza).

    But the biggest question remains, whe the turtle reaches it’s destination, what will it do there. (And is it male or female)

      We have our best men ready to go over the edge to finally determine the sex of the turtle! We certainly live in interesting times.

      The turtle is metaphor.
      That is a symbolic representation.
      Anyway, that is not what flat earthers say.

    Are you assuming that the majority (or even a plurality) of folks here are flat earthers? (Are you a flat earther?)

      you’ll always know a flat-earther when you meet them. they won’t shut up about it.

        You talk about what you love.
        You keep quiet when you don’t know.

    N/A. All the “arguments” are stupid as fuck.

    There is a lot of mockery in this thread.

    But I have to flip the question back to you.

    The consensus is that the earth is round and rotates at 15° per hour.
    This has been even been proven by experiments conducted by various flate earth societies (see Behind The Curve documentary on netflix).
    In addition, all the ISS Space Walks and rocket launch live streams that show curvature beyond the typical “lens distortion” arguments.
    And the video footage dating back 50 years of the earth, looking very globe-like (no government is efficient enough to hide such a broad conspiracy for such a long time, without ANY leaks).

    So, why do YOU think the earth is flat?

    Basic maths: To calculate the Earth’s circumference, you multiply its diameter with pie. So it’s obviously pie-shaped.

      We’ve probably hit critical mass where moveling these shenanigans to a shittyaskscience or shittyasklemmy community makes sense.

    My first BF once said to me “you are proof the Earth is flat.”

    “How so?”

    “You are the world to me, and you are–”

    “Nope, nope, forget I asked.”

          You do not really love him then (even though, even though you’ve heard it a bajillion times!)
          Where there is love, it will please your hearth even when he slaps you.

            Why not? Not sure where the confusion is.

            When I say a bajillion times I mean from people in general.

    Water runs downhill, erho there are hills, ergo the earth is not flat. Checkmate, atheists!
