Why can everyone south of the equator see the exact same stars rotating in the same direction around the same fixed central point in the sky due south of them if they’re supposedly all looking in different directions?
Why are the distances between degrees of latitude uniform and don’t grow exponentially away from the equator?
Why does everyone on Earth get the same result for the Eratosthenes experiment, when people nearer the equator should get a much smaller circumference for the Earth than those nearer the poles?
Come to think of it, was Eratosthenes part of the “round Earth” conspiracy?
Surviving records show that the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians based their astronomical forecasts on calculations assuming the Earth is a globe. Did this conspiracy begin at the dawn of civilization, or are all ancient artifacts nothing but Victorian forgeries? If so, why has this never been detected by modern carbon-dating techniques?
Why do arc lengths of given angles of longitude decrease rather than increase south of the equator?
Why does the sun not rise in the northeast and set in the northwest, year round, for everyone on Earth?
Why DOES the sun set, when the law of perspective states that the angular size of the sun’s altitude, like everything else, can’t become negative?
Why does the sun’s angular size not change throughout the day or year, since it is “moving toward and away from us” and is “closer than we’re told”?
Seriously, did you fall asleep during geometry class, or are you just completely demented?
If you believe in zeteticism, why do you keep relying on magical and unprovable solutions, which can’t be shown to exist with your own eyes and clearly don’t exist at all? Apparently, zeteticism is just code for “make any old bullshit up and pretend it’s true.”
If all photographs of a round Earth are a hoax, why not simply create photographs of a flat Earth?
A property of mass is that it has gravitational force regardless of size. If the Earth did not have a gravitational field, wouldn’t that imply that the Earth doesn’t physically exist?
Where is the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station located if the south “pole” is the whole circumference of the Earth?
Wouldn’t creating such elaborate fakes and conspiracies cost an equal–if not greater–amount of money than the science they are supposedly covering up?
The idea of the Earth as a sphere has existed at least since the time of the ancient Greeks, long before NASA. What were their financial motives?
What financial motives could NASA have, since their budget is still cut every year?
How could the sun be a spotlight if it is a sphere? On the flat Earth, the light projection would have to be a semicircle.
Why does the North Star goes to the horizon?
Why do constellations appear to be different in the Southern and Northern hemispheres?
Why is the Coriolis effect stronger near both poles, instead of stronger in the north and weaker in the south?
If the circumferential south pole is preventing the oceans from pouring over the edge of the flat Earth, why didn’t the oceans disappear during the incredible amount of time it would have taken for that ice to form?
If the oceans would–if they could–pour off the edge of the flat Earth, where, then, would they go? Does this mean that whatever keeps the oceans on the surface of the flat Earth only operates in a downward direction on the uppermost surface and is absent on the underneath?
Why are satellites visible from Earth with a pair of binoculars and even the naked eye?
How could a flat body maintain an atmosphere?
Why are other celestial bodies spheres but the Earth is not? How, and why, was the Earth created differently?

I remember years ago looking up the questions they used to post on physics forums and finding answers from 2006. It’s an obvious psyop to steal our time and to make use look stupid.

BTW, I saw “Professor” Dave own David Weiss. Dave Weiss used the inverse square law to argue that you shouldn’t be about to see starts because they are so far. He doesn’t seem to understand flux. “Professor” Dave is a vaccine-shilling twat, but it was funny to see some clown on clown arguing.

This. If I could go back and spend less time trying to understand why people were so wrong, then I could have used the time to make myself much more right.

are celestial bodies spheres? no.

So you’re claiming that every planet is flat, despite the visual evidence of every single telescope ever made?

earth is the only flat planet

So you’re NOT claiming that every planet is flat, directly contradicting what you said one second ago.

This is why no one believes a word you paid shills say.

No one cares, paid shill. Off yourself. Earth is not flat.

Don't you communist zealots get furious when the "white supremacists" you're trying to infiltrate and subvert have nothing but facts?

nice copy and paste lol I dont even know where to really start with this. First off its clear you have no idea what the "flat earthers" actually believe and your knowledge on history is infantile.

ever single culture from ancient Greece to egypt to china to south America all believed the earth was at the center in an enclosed realm. want proof? look into the Antikythera mechanism (a geocentric clock and calendar)

the entire concept of a planet didn't exist in ancient times. The word planet comes from "Astra Planeta" which means wondering star.

"Why are other celestial bodies spheres but the Earth is not? How, and why, was the Earth created differently?"

this right here shows your complete ignorance on the subject. you don't even understand the model your arguing against.

nice copy and paste

Thanks; it utterly destroys you subhuman paid shills every time I post it, so I tend to do it a lot.

I dont even know where to really start with this.

That’s because your entire worldview is a hoax and you’ve been exposed.

First off its clear you have no idea what the "flat earthers" actually believe

Nope, I know exactly what you believe.

and your knowledge on history is infantile.

Thanks for admitting I know more about history than you.

ever single culture from ancient Greece to egypt to china to south America all believed the earth was at the center in an enclosed realm

Whoops, nope.

want proof?

Yeah, but you can’t provide it.

look into the Antikythera mechanism (a geocentric clock and calendar)

Which doesn’t work. Oops!

the entire concept of a planet didn't exist in ancient times.

Which is, of course, why we get the word ‘planet’ from ancient times.

The word planet comes from "Astra Planeta" which means wondering star.

Neat, so… from ancient times.

this right here shows your complete ignorance on the subject.

So you can’t answer the question?

you don't even understand the model your arguing against.

So the Earth isn’t flat?

I'll just respond to your big list o'stuff with my own big list o'stuff.

I'll let people look into what both sides have to say then decide for themselves whos right or not.

Just admit that you are unable to answer any of these questions.

I would not admit I could not answer these questions

Right, as we’ve seen. You refuse to do it. Because you can’t.

pick any one of them

I choose all of them.

I've actually answered literally all of them before. Right now I don't feel like having a 50 point debate all at once so I'll let people take their time and look into it for themselves. They can see if any of my sources counter his or not.

Yeah, jews are known for telling the truth and accurately quoting what people say, aren’t they.

The Earth isn’t flat. Burn in hell, you fucking shill. Do you think we didn’t notice the ramp up in this spam on the day of and after Election Day? Your hoax can’t be covered up with another hoax.
