Why do you reject the wisdom of your ancestors, flat earthers? You discredit philosophy and your heritage. (media.conspiracies.win)

The sun rises in the East. Don't even need to quote wikipedia for that one.

Not only does it rise in the East, it does so year round, everywhere on Earth (somewhat North East or South East depending on which hemisphere you live on). The only way that could work on a flat Earth is if the world looked like the map you see in a school class room: north pole on top, south pole at the bottom, random cut-off somewhere in the Pacific, with the sun moving around the middle, which is obviously retarded. You would not be able to start from, say, New York and travel in one direction until you returned to the same place. You would not be able to cross either pole. You would have to have an edge of the world somewhere in the ocean (or on land), and at each pole, which is retarded.

If one of the poles was actually the circumference, and the other the center of a disc (which would allow us to cross the Pacific and go over at least one pole), then the sun would come up due north for some, due south for others, and every direction in between for everyone else. And that would change as the orbit of the sun rotated around the disc such that everyone would, at some point every year, see the sun rise due North and due South. But at least you would get seasons, except there would be eight of them as the places near the rising and setting sun would get summer while the places furthest would get winter. One full cycle (or year) would have two summers, two winters etc., one where the sun rises due North, one where the sun rises due South.

Oh, and everyone would experience the sunrise at the exact same time, so no time zones (unless light physics are a conspiracy theory as well).

If the sun's orbit stayed constant, you would have a permanent hot zone along it's route and permanent winter elsewhere, no change in seasons.

None of this requires any math or physics. You can replicate it with a frisbee and a tennis ball.

Unless the FE crowd can show somewhere on Earth where the sun rises due North or South, the Earth cannot be flat and, in fact, must be the surface of a three dimensional shape, probably a sphere. Fucking chuds...

Incredible that you shit out this double digit IQ nonsense when you could've taken less time to just watch a five minute FAQ video about flat earth that explains this 101 retard level garbage

Fucking embarrassing, guy

The flat Earth model doesn't explain why the sun sets. The flat earth model says the sun just hovers around different parts of the earth. Meaning it should just get smaller OVER the horizon, not set nor rise from the horizon.

I'm fairly open minded. I remain unconvinced the earth is flat.

The sun (and moon) disappear into the vanishing point.
