I saw a meme stating if the world was flat cats would have already knocked everything off the edge. That's irrefutable logic right there.

“It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person, its impossible to win an argument with a stupid person” -Bill Murray

I have a neighbor that’s a flat earther He watches videos on it, does his research… and has the balls to laugh at people for thinking the earth is round. He literally says that “people would know it’s flat, if they just had a little basic understanding of science” These people are fascinatingly stupid.

The Netflix documentary Around the Curve has my favorite example of flat earthers They came up with a surprisingly scientific experiment involving a gyroscope to measure the actual curvature of the earth. They laid out the explanation for what evidence would prove that the earth is round, and what would prove the earth is flat It proved the earth is round Their conclusion: magical sky beams interfered with their measurements

The only thing to fear is sphere itself.

One of my favourite Flat-Earther statements is that they have thousands of members around the globe.

Problem is once flat earthers realize they are wrong, they have built their identities and social orbits (no pun intended) around other flat earthers. They stay to avoid loneliness and rejection.

"Flat Earth Society has supporters from all across the globe." Actual social media post.

Flat Earthers: We can only accept what we can see with our own eyes. Also Flat Earthers: The Earth is surrounded by an ice wall that no one's ever seen.

The fact we are discussing this in the 21st century is worrying.

As a U.S. Navy veteran, whose primary job was running radar as an Operations Specialist, I can say with ABSOLUTE certainty that the earth IS NOT FLAT!!!

Years ago, I spent a year at South Pole Station. Up there on the polar plateau, I would have noticed an ice wall if it had been there, don't you think?

My favorite part of flat earth people is that Bob Knodel made a whole-ass documentary and bought a $20,000 gyroscopic laser to prove the Earth is flat... only to discover it WASN'T flat, and decided that since he didn't like that, the evidence didn't matter.

"Never argue with a stupid person. First they'll drag you down to their level, then they'll beat you with experience." Mark Twain

The refutation of all the evidence which contradicts their theory reminds me of what it was like to try to convince my mother that the voices only she could hear were a result of psychosis…

I remember watching a documentary not that long ago that followed a group of flat earthers who set out to confirm that the Earth was flat, and basically, after every experiment that proved them wrong they simply changed the narrative to suit the results. In a nutshell, they were wrong and could not prove the Earth was flat.

"You know, maybe there's a good reason donkeys shouldn't talk." ~Shrek

Come on. Everyone knows ships disapear because of being outside of the render distance.

"Only believe in things you can see for yourself. Also, there's an ice wall around the disc that no-one has ever seen for themselves, but trust me bro."

The existence of people who don't believe the earth is flat but spend their time pretending to be flat earthers online is worse than people believing the earth is flat...

A flat-earther's greatest fear is... Sphere itself.

How to debate a Flat Earther - walk away in a straight line until you disappear below the horizon. QED.

Reminds me of the saying, "It is easier to fool someone than it is to convince someone they have been fooled." - Somebody smarter than me, probably.

I read a fascinating comment by a psychologist who has a policy of refusing to treat any patient that claims the earth is flat: he has found that they usually have underlying mental health issues and symptoms that need psychiatric care and perhaps medication. He therefore refers those prospective patients to a higher level medical professional. While this is not a causation situation, there is correlation between the firmly held belief in a flat earth belief and symptoms of larger problems.

Remember when we thought it was the lack of access to information that was holding people back? It's not. It's not that at all.

Mercury- sphere Venus- sphere Earth- frisbee Moon- sphere Mars- sphere Jupiter- sphere Saturn- sphere Uranus- sphere Neptune- sphere Pluto- sphere *Yep, makes sense*

"All human knowledge is at everyone's finger tips" leaves out that all human lies, deceptions, mistakes, rumors and misconceptions are also at everyone's finger tips, and thanks to algorithms all are equal in the eyes of google.

I used to think it was round, then thought it was flat, then came back around.

"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." Qui-Gon Jinn

I once asked a flat earther about 'If you keep going west, why do you end up in the east?" His answer boiled down to, shit you not, Pac-Man Physics. If you leave the left side of the screen you appear on the right side of the screen. I still do not understand how this could possibly work.

I like the ad at the beginning and not in the middle interrupting the story. It's appreciated.

Whistler's content (multiple KZfaq channels) is top quality. Insightful, humorous, and always engaging, Whistler carries the short content with his own brand of audacious cheek. Truly entertaining stuff 😂

"Only trust what you can see with your own eyes" Hasn't seen the edge of the Earth.

Conspiracy theory: everyone who believes the Earth is flat is just waiting for a free opportunity to be sent to space to be "proven wrong".

If the curvature of the earth as viewed from an airliner is due to the shape of the windows, why doesn't the terminal building look curved when you're on the runway.

Almost a decade ago, I discovered online that there were people who believed the Earth was flat. I began arguing with them. I tried to understand what made them believe what they believe and thought of ways to debunk their beliefs in indisputable ways. Here are some examples: -Flat earthers said that Antarctica surrounded the Earth, was comprised of 75-150 foot tall ice walls that could not be traversed, and if you somehow did manage to traverse the wall machine-gun-carrying NASA guards would turn you away. I really thought to even think this was truly hilarious. Do these people even realize that you can just book a trip to Antarctica and go there yourself to see that none of this is true? I mean... let's go! Let's go in person and see that none of this is true in reality. See for yourself that there are no continuous tall ice walls and no NASA guards. I'm guessing that flat earthers don't have much money because none took me up on the offer -They were so convinced that the whole global concept was a means of controlling the populous. They somehow merged the globalist "New World Order", which is really about people capitalizing on a unified world government, whereby the word global doesn't refer to the shape of the planet, but the encapsulation of all governments of the world. They don't seem to understand this distinction. Further, they then use MK-Ultra and merge that into their unhinged beliefs for some reason. Then, they claim this is all because of the Rothschilds and Rockerfellers, etc. Then, I asked them a couple of questions: 1) How is it that these people or governments are going to somehow control me more or less just because of the shape of the planet? I mean, if the Earth is round or flat, from a government perspective... my life doesn't change in either case. From a controlling me perspective, nothing changes. My life from a governing perspective isn't affected by the shape of the planet. They of course had no answer for this and merely resorted to ad hominem attacks about how clueless I was and how they felt sorry for me.... even though they are the ones who couldn't answer the simplest of questions 2) Why? Why would anybody require the Earth being round in my mind, or the populous in general? What is the end game? What's it all about? The answer? Seriously... the answer was: so the government could get your money. THAT'S IT! That is all they had! So, I informed them that the government ALREADY has our money they collect in the form of taxes and that they already give many billions a year to NASA, out of a $4 trillion sum in federal revenue a year, and they don't need my understanding or permission to give NASA money because they already have my money and can spend it however Congress decides to do so in their budget. Me believing the world is some shape has literally no effect on anything with regard to them taking my money and giving it to NASA. Again, they had no response to this. So, they cannot even come up with a plausible reason that they can effectively explain in any legitimate fashion that even begins to provide a motive for their make-believe claims. Add-on: No lie, this one Australian guy was really smug about his flat earth positions and attempted to execute a live experiment on the spot on video that "proved" for sure just how the Earth simply cannot be a globe. The experiment? He had a deflated soccer ball and he used his garden hose to spray water on it to show that the water fell off and didn't stick to the ball! HAHAHAHAHA! Seriously! That was it!!! He is completely scientifically brainless! He didn't even consider for a second that the gravity of the Earth, due to its much larger mass than the ball, would overpower any sort of gravitational effects a tiny little ball could even hope to produce. This guy is all flat earthers. Just stupid and wrong.

6:04 You could run a survey in which the only question is "Are you currently taking a survey?" and 5% of people will still answer "Not sure"

The funny thing is if we took a champion of champion among the flat earthers to space and they confirmed the earth is round they would then be written off as bought by NASA.

Crazy thing is, there doesn't "still" seem to be people who believe this, but people who believe this "again"

Like all cult beliefs, some people need to believe they have secret knowledge that only they and their in-group possesses, to make them feel whole.

I ascribe to the theory that if the Earth WAS flat, cats would've knocked everything off the edge by now.

For awhile I questioned the moon landing, then I remembered that 25 years earlier mankind split the atom. And 4000 years ago we built the pyramids. All the while I am sending messages at the speed of light across the globe.

As for sailors, if you are reasonably high up above the waterline you can actually see the curvature with your eyes.

Here are five undeniable scientific facts that make flat earth theory an impossible model. 1. Size of the sun observed in the sky: When observed the sun takes up the same “degrees of space” in the observable sky. This is only possible for a very large object being very far away. In all flat earth theories the sun is a small object moving relatively close to earth shining a spotlight of “day time” upon the surface of the earth. The relatively observed ”degrees of space” taken up by the sun should start as very small at sun rise, be observed to be 3x-5x times larger in the sky at Noon (based on theorized size of the sun and distance from the earth’s surface proposed in the various versions of flat earth models). The sun would then get smaller and smaller in the sky as it approaches sunset. 2. The pattern of the tides. The double low and high tide patterns as seen on earth are only possible if the moon is rotating around a spherical earth. No math models in any flat earth theory can explain the observed tide cycle. 3. Sky Rotation changing. From time lapse studies, we know from the observable sky at night what appears to be a sky rotating counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. This is only possible on a rotating globe. In fact in flat earth models, the sun and northern star (Polaris) should ALWAYS be visible at night. 4. Shadow angles at Noon. Put two tall sticks in the ground 100 yards apart. Watch what happens at Noon. In a flat earth model there should be a time when the shadows cast by the sticks are pointing in opposite directions as the small relatively close sun passes over head. This doesn’t occur the shadows are cast at always the same angle of projection. This is only possible with a globe rotating to reveal a very large very far away sun. 5. Sundials move “clockwise” north of the equator. Sundials move “counter clockwise” south of the equator. This cannot happen on a flat earth with a small sun flying through the sky.

If the Earth is flat, cats would have tossed everything to the edge by now.

"Dropping out of school at the tender age of nine..." And now it all makes sense.

Being a flat earther is like hanging a sign around your neck declaring the dire state of your genes.

I have absolutely no idea why, but this particular video, and the Fyre Festival one, are my comfort videos. I have seen this so many times. I completely threw a teenager off by telling her this yesterday. She said one of her classmates actually did a presentation on it.

A reality show where flat earthers travel to find the edge of the world..

Arguing with a "flat earther" is like playing chess with a pigeon. It sh^ts on the board, and then promptly walks around like it just won the game.

A question i always ask conspiracy theorists is simple. What would the powers that be have to gain by lying to us?

The flat Earth theory is nearly as crazy as the “hallow Earth theory”

Someone wrote: "It's very difficult to argue with an intelligent person but it's impossible to argue with an ignorant one". True words indeed.

I'll tell you who is most pissed by the Flat Earth theory - the Hollow Earthers. No one even talks about their crackpot theory any more.

"Flat Earthers": People starving for controversy, in a world apparently too boring & uneventful for them.

"Join the Flat Earth Podcast coming to you via satellite radio and heard all around the globe!"

If the earth was really flat, flat earthers would swear it was round.

and they call it a "global" conspirancy...

The idea that all world governments would come together for once on any one idea (let alone to keep it secret from the entire world) is quite preposterous.

If NASA came out and said the Earth was flat, the flat earthers would argue that its a sphere.

I have my moments when i think "I'm stupid..." but then i remind myself "well at least I'm not flat earther stupid."

"Anyone who claims something is foolproof drastically underestimates the ingenuity of complete fools."

Apparently the newsletter of the flat earth society was pretty big but completely fell to nearly nobody because the person running the newsletter had their house burn down and lost all the addresses and names of members. (Just as I finished typing it he brings it up of course)

I have entertained many flat Earth theorists. I’ve considered the possibility of them being correct and was absolutely fascinated with how little knowledge was actually applied. It’s very creative and highly imaginative. I just continued to prove to myself that the Earth is indeed spherical. The math works forward and backwards. It’s easy to consider when we know the actual science can only conclude to a spherical planet. It amazes me they don’t seem to want to grasp Eratosthenes evidence. For them to be correct would require a conspiracy of unimaginable proportions, as well as a mechanical sun along with a mobile sky. Sextons usage and celestial navigation are obviously lost with these people. What about the fact our shadow is round when broadcast onto the moon, if our planet is sideways wouldn’t we fall off? Why is there no video evidence of the edge of the world? Why can’t we see Hawaii from California with a high powered telescope? So many things don’t line up for their theory to be correct. Occam’s razor says the Earth is spherical after all is said and done.

"It's a NASA conspiracy." Every other space agency on Earth: "Why did we get left out?"

Flat Earthers: "there's a GLOBAL conspiracy"

It always puzzled me why people believe the flat-earth theory. For one thing, some aspects of physics would not add up, like gravity. If you were on a rotating disc you would be thrown off like an object would if it was on a record spinning on a record player (same concept). Also, we wouldn't have night/day (ligh and dark) but rather the sun would hover around in a circle (same for the moon) above us. Then of course somes the idea of seasons... we would have one (perhaps two) seasons, but they would be the same all year round like having spring or summer all year round. Then there is my favorite argument against flat-earthers... if you stand at a point on a flat piece of land, why can you NOT see for miles? Even if you stood on a high-point, you wouldn't be able to see more than perhaps 10 miles or maybe 20, but not for any great distances over a long distance due to the curvature of the earth.

Flat earthers can't even explain eclipses. 😂

"And that is how we know the earth to be banana-shaped." -- Monty Python and the Search For the Holy Grail

I LOVE flat-earthers! They make me feel smarter!

I have been a Seaman (Merchant) my entire life and I have yet to fall off the edge and I have yet to see the Flat-Earthers give a logical argument for vessels visually sailing over the horizon.

I've met a handful of flat earthers in my life. They always have at least a 100 other weird conspiracy theories to share and they will go on about them all day long. I tried to date a girl like that once but needless to say she was not a stable person and it did not last long.

I always figured flat earthers were of 2 kinds: 1. Trolls who are messing with you. 2. Suckers who believe the trolls.

"There are two types of flat-earther: those that sell the t-shirts and those that buy the t-shirts". - Bob the Science Guy

I couldn't believe this was a real thing the first time I heard about the Flat Earth people. What is wrong with them?

I’m a brand-new watcher, and you can completely ignore this… but opening your video, excited to learn, I click on it, and there’s barely an intro and 1 min 43 of ads. I really like Anthony Padilla’s intros as he mentions the sponsor but gets straight into the intro and video, having the full ad after some constant. This is your channel, and it’s just a suggestion. Keen to learn all about this oddly growing community! 🌏

So, every world sailor and every transcontinental airline pilot all keep the Flat Earth a secret. Nobody cracks and spills the beans? That is an amazingly solid conspiracy!

The Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe.

Arguing with a flerfer is like playing chess with a pigeon, the pigeon's just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it won the game. You can't argue with people who can't think critically.

When I first heard about this high school, I thought those people were just trolling and rapper B.o.B was just going on with the trolling. But now, I'm scared of people. This belief has history, B.o.B wasn't trolling. That's- . . . this is enough KZfaq I had today. Let me listen to some music.

"Trolls are gonna troll. Look below for examples". Owhh.. That's a win for Simon.

Nobody can get to the ice wall because the penguins are guarding it. They may look cute but they've done their duty for millions of years and they're really, really good at it.

Great episode. I would love to see you guys tackle the subject of intelligent design. I suspect that if you did an episode on all the skeptical arguments against evolution it might become your most popular episode ever. You might even be able to break it down into an entire series of videos.

I just recently was able to finally conceptualize that the Earth was A sphere. I'm not a flatter Earth Person. I just don't understand the science of it all. Even when looking at a globe I couldn't quite ever get it conceptually. Recently, I was flying on an airplane, And they had a new 3-D virtual model that shows where your plane is. Sort of like when you use Google maps and look at the street from different angles. That's when it finally clicked. We always see 2 dimensional representations of Planet and it's really hard to Grasp, if he don't understand the science. I finally could understand my position on the planet

"Round Earth is a hoax!" "OK, I hear you. But what is the benefit for those, who push that idea?" "You are in on it!!!"

Their model is wrong. The Earth disc sits atop four elephants, who themselves stand on the back of a sea turtle. Also time is a cube.

For the longest time, I always thought that the flat earth society was just a big meme group. Then I found out that my wife's dad's friend is a true believer. Brainrot is real.

They take Adam Savage's quote too far; "I reject your reality, and substitute my own."

Flat earth society should be really worried about global warming, if the ice melts, there goes all our water over the edge!

Welp, the fact that the movement was started by someone who stopped going to school at age 9 should tell people everything they need to know

Almost no one really believes the Earth is flat. They just say that to be contrarian and disruptive. Especially online where there's no cost for making such statements.

I’m not gonna lie to you, claiming to be a flat earther is my favorite way to troll (actually the only way I ever troll that I can think of 🤔) - but I’m not gonna skew polls. Lying anonymously to mess up results isn’t funny in the same way that saying “if the earth is round then how come the water doesn’t fall off in the south?!” and having people think you’re serious can be. (Bonus points: if anybody actually believes the dumb argument, they get to see the people who think I’m serious explaining too and maybe they learn a thing). Edit: also to be clear, I do not commit to the part. At all. I’m not trying to spread false info or seriously convince a single person. I just like to set my temporary username in stuff as something like xXxFlat_EartherxXx and be a little sarcastic if asked about it. I will always always own up to just being a troll about it

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” ― George Carlin

Flat Earthers - "Only accept that which we can see with our own eyes and prove with our own efforts" Also Flat Earthers - "The Earth is surrounded by an ice wall which we can't prove because NASA is guarding it" logic

I believe that "No child left behind" has a hand in this situation. I believe these, "everyone gets a trophy" grads also deny the moon landings.

Ive always loved the background music like this. Its the same music in the WW1 game called verdun and tannenberg at the starting screen

“Dropping out of school at the age of nine,...” *Wow. I’m shocked. **_Shocked,_** I tell you.* 🙄

If the earth was flat, cats would have swept everything off it.

I refuse to believe they aren't all trolling
