"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...

the equator is the horizontal that is closest to the sun, while the arctics are the furthest from the sun - because it's a globe.
it's warmer at the equator than it is at the arctics - because it's a globe.
Dang man I usually get a's and b's :( Well aren't we taught that the earth is tilted on its axis? So in the globe earth model wouldn't one hemisphere have more sunlight and heat than the other regardless of the equator? Also if the earth is an oblate spheroid, wouldn't the part of the globe that jets out further be closest to the sun? One last thing: wouldn't the sun rays heat be kinda negligible between the northern and southern hemisphere since we are so far away and apparently receive the rays at a similar angle and intensity? Just some food for thought. And I realize that these things are elementary and taught to humans at an early age and well agreed upon by "scientists" since the heliocentric model was adopted around 500 years ago.
So, you're saying that all it would take to make you stop spouting this garbage is a picture from a balloon with the sun overhead?
yes
yes, i believe it does
yes, i believe it does
which is why there is relatively little temperature difference - even between the poles vs the equator.
this seems pretty complete:

then it's not "the equator".
if it's another explanation, then you are talking about something else - you'll need to make-up another word for your version of the imaginary line the divides the Earth in half.
"equator" is already taken.
also "inches" "days" and "watts" -- all taken. you'll need different words to describe length, time and energy, respectively.
And you all assume the exact opposite of what "the establishment" says. Equally stupid.
um no, we look at FACTS, not just assume the exact opposite
