"Flat Earthers" are wrong #819: water drains clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern. #itsaglobe
same for stars:
-
look south, stars spin clockwise;
-
look north, stars spin counter-clockwise;
i know flat-earthers explain this with "it's an optical illusion" - lol - which is funny because flat-earthers claim everything about their "model" can be validated with simple observation #oops #fail
but i was just curious if one of you flat-earthers would care to explain the "water drain" phenomenon.... obviously not an "illusion", so you can't use that excuse.
...waiting...
I'm convinced the overwhelming majority of "flat earthers" are just trolling, and the rest are certainly not worth arguing with.
What I can't reconcile, is how we can see objects that should be blocked by the earth itself due to its supposed curvature
There's other evidence that contradicts the spinning globe model but the distant objects evidence is hard to wrap my mind around
Sphere with a 3959 mile average radius, we are told
This means on the surface of the sphere, and this is a simplified formula but is accurate up to hundreds of miles, but on the surface we should see a drop of 8 inches per mile, squared
8 inches after one mile 32 inches after two miles 72 inches after three miles, etc
When I go out to the shoreline and look across to a distant island, I can see everything, including the shoreline on the island
What I'm seeing should be blocked from my view due to the curve of the earth, and there's just no arguing against what I see with my own eyes
It does not reconcile with what we should expect to see, if this is a ball with an average radius of 3959 miles
There's videos of others performing the same observation across much greater distances, across spans of water, which is important because we know water finds and maintains its level in whatever container its in
We also have so many large famous flatlands around the "globe"
Earth surface is a minimum 70% covered in water, so, where's all of this supposed curvature?
Did something about my comment give you the impression I believed the spinning globe fairy tale
If there's no curve on the Earth, why can't you see New York from the Rockies?
common question! you can increase your viewable distance by increasing your optical power, i.e., binoculars or a telescope, or your altitude, but at some point you are going to be bottlenecked by the density of the atmosphere itself
the air, water vapour, etc
Maybe our crater is flat inside this huge hollow Earth dome....boom just covered it all for use frikkin guys :P:P
See examples in the replies...
paid to troll
i.e., shilling
prove it
Go to a flat earth convention and realize that not one of them was stupid enough to get the covid shots or follow plandemic regulations. Do not go to 'flat earth society' meetups, they are government funded shills. You are too far gone to ever overcome the globe deception unfortunately.
