Sun dials need to be adjusted throughout the year to account for axial tilt. If you do not, you will get inaccurate times (as seen in your meme). Get you own sun dial and you will see for yourself.
“Solar time and clock time line up at noon on April 15, June 15, September 1 and December 24, which is why those days are recommended for setting a sundial. If you want your sundial to be as accurate as possible, reset your dial on each of those dates.”
This is something you can test yourself with a post. Mark the shadow of the post at noon once a week for a year. You WILL see the same shadow patterns that your meme is showing, 100%.
Sun dials DO in fact “point In drastically different directions through the 4 seasons.”
Congratulations, this is probably the best argument AGAINST the flat earth model I ever saw. Why would sun dials “point In drastically different directions through the 4 seasons” on a flat earth?
My claim was the globe model would cast shadows in radically different directions between spring and fall (resulting in many hours of error). The local sundial I use is never more than 15 minutes off, which can be explained by the an analemma.

Very nice. If I had the ability to sticky other user comments I would sticky this.
Look at my comment concerning analemmas. If he was correct, you would have to contially adjust your sundials position all year.

Technically you do but it’s infeasible so a bit of error is acceptable when you’re using an imprecise instrument like a sun dial
