who believe that the Earth is flat it looks like should be taken out so that space can really witness for yourself how the actual shape of the Earth. all technologies already developed and still believe that the Earth is flat, that's really weird.

That's probably what they want...a free ride into space.

This is notbatman's moment to shine.  The entire world is watching a new rocket push a car into orbit around a globe. 

If he has proof that the earth is flat - NOW IS THE TIME TO POST IT.

Otherwise, well, it's no different than claiming a fairy tale created the planet.

It's actually incredible to see a simple notion like this get over 10,000 post replies.  Who wudda thought?  Amazing...


Really? Where have you been?

Plus the OP replies to everyone to keep the thread going, this is a "grab your popcorn" thread...


This sums it up perfectly:

https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/books/irresistible-why-we-can-t-stop-checking-scrolling-clicking-and-watching-1.2996663

"One feature of this literature is a mutually congenial tendency to medicalise eccentric behaviour: the lustre of science lends moral authority to the quack author and a plaintive urgency to the reader’s perceived woes, driving each into the arms of the other."


"According to some surveys about 40 per cent of Americans suffer from a form of internet addiction. If you’ve ever felt a Pavlovian glow at the “ding” of your inbox filling up, or if you happen to compulsively check your messages late at night, when you should be sleeping, you too might be hooked."





Everyone loves a good troll...even when they hate them....

Billionaire Admits FLAT EARTH On Live TV! (MUST SEE!) -- https://youtube.com/watch?v=XxxNEEf3gzA


I think he misspoke his lines (and a lot of this is ad lib), he probably meant to say flipped on it's axis (wasn't there a movie about that), although his hand did mimic a spin motion.

What's amazing is that something (a fan?) actually remembered something other than "im gonna smash your face" and "what the rock is cooking" from the WWE...



Hey this guy might agree with you

B.o.B is not the only person who thinks the Earth is flat. A number of people who are members of the Flat Earth Society believe the truth, the human planet is not round.

They also dismissed all the evidence that shows the Earth is round, just like Earth's photographs from outer space. According to them, it is nothing more than a conspiracy engineering advocate that the Earth is round governed by the US Space Agency (NASA) and other government agencies.

One of their leading theories calls the Earth a similar disk, where the Arctic Circle is at its center, while Antarctica, an ice wall 150 feet or 45.7 meters high, is on its edge.


They claim, NASA employs a number of people to keep these ice walls tight, preventing anyone climbing them and falling off the earth's disks.

While the Earth's day and night cycle is described as follows: The Sun and the Moon are spherical objects of 51 kilometers in diameter, which spin at 4,828 kilometers above the flat Earth.

Like the spotlights, the sky balls illuminate different parts of the planet in a 24-hour cycle. Proponents of this theory also believe there is an invisible object called "antimoon" (anti-Moon) which is responsible for obscure the shape of the Moon, into a crescent moon for example.

Furthermore, for them, Earth's gravity is nothing but an illusion. The attractiveness of the earth, they say, does not speed things down, but it is the Earth's disk that accelerates the motion of 9.8 meters per second squared, driven by a force called "dark energy."


The Flat Earth Society's way of thinking follows the way of "Zetetic Method", an alternative scientific method developed in the 19th Century.

"Essentially this method emphasizes reconciliation between empiricism and rationalism, and makes logical conclusions based on empirical data," said the deputy chairman of the Flat Earth Society, Michael Wilmore of Ireland on the science site Life's Little Mysteries.

Their details may be ridiculous and like a joke, but its supporters really consider it to be a more sensible model of astronomy than can be found in textbooks
 



Thank you for the informative post...I worry you know too much about the subject Smiley


I think this thread is more about trolling and possibly mental illness (although I hope not) than it is about the earth actually being flat.

Random aside: My mind was wandering on matters involving texture mapping to triangle meshes, and it occured to me that the "Flat Earth" map is merely a texture map for a spherical surface.


Better wait and post on Monday, I think the FE proponents aren't allowed out on the weekend.

Where are you New Jersey?


Some people are D!cks, some people don't care and just want to complete a transaction, and sometimes (this is important) you might be interpreting their reactions based on a negative "self image" you hold of yourself.

The point moving forward, is to change how you feel about yourself.



Side question: do you have a family and many friends close by?

I hope this helps:


"Why does love make us so irrational?

That common belief is incorrect. It isn't love that makes you irrational - you're irrational and the emotions you feel are a result of it. A rational human being feels emotions too, but when they love, the love they feel will tend to be more rational and reasonable. It will simply make sense to them and likely also make sense in the eyes of others.

Your emotions are a result of the quality of your thinking - not the other way around. For emotions that make more sense, improve the quality of your thinking. I think you'll find that any love you feel in the future will be more genuine and lasting."

Wait also, ice age and the earth's precession ?

Try to get on a jet plane and fly in a straight direction without turning and without stopping, if you get to the original place, it means the earth is round.

What websites / services could be replaced with blockchain technology.


Many are saying ebay's fees are out of hand, ebay/paypal enjoy a virtual monopoly, although it does provide a well needed service...the question to you is:


Can ebay be replaced with an alternative that utilizes blockchain tech?
