    "its hard to win against a smart person, but its damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person."

    I was a "Flat Earther" for 4 years......then, I turned 5.
  • @timothybogle1461
    The interesting part of the plane experiment. A jetliner pitches up 3 degrees when at cruising altitude. The level showed this perfectly.
  • The scariest thing is not that they think the earth is flat. It the belief that if it were, people would spend trillions of dollars and dedicate countless lifetimes to convincing us it wasn’t.
  • @blank4700
    As they say, "The Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe."
  • @user-tp6vt6ib4y
    The horizon is 11.4 miles away that is when things start to disappear it's actually kinda weird just watching the top part of a superstructure over the horizon every sailor knows that
  • @rskelly5721
    You’re using a level on a plane to prove your theory… you’re on a plane… how does this make sense? 🤦🏼‍♀️ The plane can tilt regardless of what shape the Earth is…
  • @user-ew1uo5ev4e
    If earth is flat explain why my life is going downhill constantly
  • @chaseviking5096
    I just got kicked out of a flat earth group on FB. All I did was asked if the 6 foot social distance has pushed anyone off the edge of the earth yet.
  • @1234567mrbob
    I don't think flat earth people take their own "belief" seriously. It's a social club, something to belong to, like Star Trek conventions are to Trekkies.
  • @jimburow706
    Can you see the surface of the moon with a telescope from your home? Yes. Then why can’t you see this “ice wall” with a telescope from your home?

    « Arguing with a flat earther is like playing chess with a pigeon, no matter how good you are, the pigeon would knock the pieces, shit on you, and claim himself as the winner »
  • @NJVArtimations
    How can these flat earthers watch the sunset and say wow flat earth is amazing
  • @Bliving457
    The flat earth stuff just never made sense. Everything we see in the sky is balls. Round balls everywhere. But we aren't on one? Besides the countless people that have been to low earth orbit to see for themselves, the maths prove we are also a ball flying through space.
  • Remember before the internet, we thought ignorance was just lack of information? Yeah, that wasn't it.
  • @ClemensAlive
    Flat Earthers watching their YT videos...on Smartphones....that rely on mobile data and GPS...wich uses satelites around the earth...to proof that the earth is flat. xD
  • @jpgonzalez6043
    Also why does the moon appear upside down in Australia compared to the US?
