In your opinion...What is the #1 reason on why you believe that you live on a ball?

All other observable world's are roughly ball shaped. As above so below.

Circles or Balls?

Oblate spheroids mostly.

Have you used a telescope to see the dark side of your spheroid?

If you can't see the back side of the moon and you never will. How do you know the "Planets" all named after Roman Gods have a back side?

All you have ever seen with your own two eyes is a illuminating light. And you know it

Mk. I have a telescope and can track planetary rotation using a digital camera and math, so yes most bodies, we can see the whole thing and we have. The moon doesn't rotate, but ide suggest "who built the Moon" by Butler and Knight to look into that more, it is a fascinating object. Math is useful because we can track not only rotation but movement and wobble. Are you suggesting that these Celestial bodies are all Phantasms linked to a flat Earth riding on the back of 4 elephants standing atop a gigantic turtle? Ide like to know your theory and how it works...since we're all here in this divine experiment together.

When a boat appears on the horizon you first thing you see is the top with the remainder becoming visible as the boat gets closer.

Called a inferior mirage. Has nothing to do with a globe or a curve. Next time you see that, pull up a zoom lens and you magically bring up a ship from the othet side of the curve.

Have you ever seen a Mirage? Misused or Made-up word to explain that the Pythagorean theorem fails every test. If you believe in a Mirage you believe light bends over a curve of what should be hundreds or thousands of feet/miles beyond eye level. Have you used critical thinking yet on that?

This is not for you because you won't watch it, but for others who are reading this and are interested In the truth...

Level of Perception. Get a Zoom Camera and you would see it way before your eyes do. Test is on your own.

Earth doesn't move. No gravity. No ball.

I agree but give the ballers one reason why!

South polaris

South? What about North?

My head is round(ish) and so are my nuts (BALLS). So, I live on a ball, assuredly.

In all seriousness. I have no idea what the fuck the shape of the Earth is, nor, do I think it matters or do I care, tbh. Flat earthers are just as bad as space fanboy global Earthers, imo.

Have a cider or joint, and come sit at the Hollow/Growing Earther's table. We could blow your mind...

I had dinner at that Restaurant the other night and wasn't a fan of my server. Enjoyed the food through. ✌ 😎 Do you server a three course meal or just two?

"It doesn't matter what you think I need"- The Rock

Alex says " How will he give me the cash ? "

Haha F you Trebek

Airplanes probably

Did you say Air "Planes" or Air "Balls"?

Ohhh good one that got me... earth deffs flat

The Sun seems to go under the horizon no matter where an observer is on the planet. The only shape where that would work is a spheroid. But I know you're not actually looking to be convinced one way or another. Flat-earthers have a cop out for everything.

So you're saying the sun moves out of your perspective? As far as your eye can see? Watch a plane fly. It starts under the horizon and ends up going right over your head and the whole time hasn't changed altitude. That's perspective!!

No, what we see doesn't work on a flat earth. If that were true, you guys would already have a relevant model. The most popular "flat earth model" is still a projection of the globe.

Perspective already proves that the Sun isn't close. Seriously, start thinking.

If the Sun is supposed to be close in the flat earth "model", why doesn't it change in angular size or angular speed over the course of a day when viewed through a solar filter?

This only gets worse when you take into account the equinox Sun rises and Sun sets. On those days, the Sun will rise due east and set due west regardless of your latitude.

An experiment has already been performed on the equinox with over 20+ participants. The results support the globe earth and matched predictions for the model, while it made no sense on a flat earth whatsoever. Unless you believe that there are multiple magical Suns at the same time. Flat Earth is broken to the point that Sun angles are all that's needed to debunk it.

No, the planes and the Sun do not move so far away that I can't see them - they move below the horizon. And wow! A situation where a plane moves from below the horizon to above my head and then below the horizon again? Without ever getting closer or farther to the ground? Sounds like a spheroid to me!

What you just said explains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pzf-UpsTUc

Only thing wrong is your conclusion is based on what you were told by TBTB

Did I cite TPTB? Or have I used my own observations and simple geometry?

Hey, if you can see and curve then so be it...

Would you say it just travels out of your line of sight perspective?

Things that move through the sky definitely go below the horizon.

Or do they just move past the horizon out of your perception? The human eyes can only see so far...

Nope, the Sun definitely moves -below- the horizon.

Time zones. If the Earth were flat, the sun would rise and set at the same moment for everyone/ every longitude.

Would it?

Why wouldn't we? It makes much more sense for us to be on a ball than that the Earth is flat. No, nobody in the past ever thought the Earth was flat. Source : Stephen Fry, QI.

Either way, I have more important things to think about than the shape of the Earth, because ultimately, who cares?

Science says there is a thing called the inverse square law. Objects in the sky can't be billions of miles away.

Have you ever been driving next to someone in the other lane on a road at a certain velocity and notice that their vehicles rims have the illusion of being stationary?

That has nothing to do with this argument. I just like that optical trickery.

aliens kidnapped me and i was able to see earth from space
