The Ancient Greeks concluded Earth was a sphere, which has been validated by scientists ever since. Despite this, there is a movement growing claiming the Earth is flat.

    For many years, people have clashed on whether the Earth is flat or round. What are your thoughts on this heated debate?

    I just love how the first picture of earth was taken in October 24 1946 and the first ever editing software for pictures was invented in 1987

  • I hate the Mount Everest shadow showing up every day in front of my house.

    From the series True Flat Earth Stories :
    Once upon a time there were two flat-earthers who wanted to dig in a fence post. When the post was in the hole, there was soil left over. They dug another hole and shovelled the soil into it. And again there was soil left over......... A third flat earther had been watching them for a while and finally called out to them: "Guys, you have to dig deeper.
  • @JTMagXX
    Anyone who thinks they have proved the earth is flat, would’ve been approached and told “hey, congrats you figured out the truth, but we are trying to keep the world convinced they are on a globe, so can you keep your findings a secret?!” There hasn’t been even one credible flat earther, who has ever even claimed to have been approached by these same people, asked to lie, and said no. Over hundreds of years? And of all those who have been asked, not one said no??? Explain that.

    I love the idea of being skeptical of really routine things in life. Always entertaining.

    If the Earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off it by now.

    If the Earth was flat, there would be a Round Earth society.

    Flat earthers can never explain why the stars are vastly different in the northern hemisphere than they are in the southern hemisphere

    7:35 how is it possible that water is still visible behind the boat (and stripes)? The curve should not only make the stripes disappear, but also prevent water from being visible behind the boat.

    Flat Earthers goes like:
    "show me evidence"
    -shows evidence
    "That's fake, show me how it works"
    -shows how it works
    "You're being brainwashed"
    -Huwat?

    I must say and thank the flat Earth community for their tremendous commitment and extraordinary efforts in their fight to achieve and reach absolute stupid..
    As you guys are so close to this Nobel prize worthy discovery I salute you..
