I have a public sundial that I look at down the street. All year long the thing is accurate to within 15 minutes or less. No one ever adjusts it because it's set in concrete. I would have to measure how many degrees off it is at maximum, but I would guess 1 or 2 degrees (angle of the shadow). I want to test out that globe simulation so I could get a rough estimate of how far off the shadow is between spring and fall, but if those pics are at all accurate, 45+ degrees off would equate to HOURS of error. It's not even close.
OMG. Did you have geometry classes in your school?
You will have ±15 min precision during a year if you put a stick parallel to Earth axis, and not like on your picture. You could take a globe, glue stick parallel to rotation axis and suddenly find out that now stick shadow do not change its angle when you simulate orbiting the sun.
If you repeat on the Earth what is shown in your meme, you will get ±1 hour precision from vertical stick at same latitude. On the planet with 30° inclination as in the meme, instead of Earth's 23°, you will get ±1.5 hour precision, if that planet will have same rotation speed as Earth.
Well, this is yet another funny example when FE apologist did not even bother to find out how things works before making some statements about that thing. This is even more hillarious than that thread when they thought that gyroscope in mechanical aviahorizons is a source of plane orientation data, when in reality gyroscope in aviahorizons is used as a ~10 minute dumper for a plummet. :)
Is it a kind of infectious disease among your kind? Why you don't want to learn how things work? Or your goal is just shit on every forum where something out-of-narrative discussed? Do you know what people did with well poisoners at the time?

You sound vaccinated.
