This comment is so understated, yet I could scour the depths of the English language and never find the right words to describe just how far beyond retarded this really is.
Im curious, how fast do flat earthers think the moon moves, or the sun for that matter. In their defense, the formula for calculating this works either for them being really close, or really far away. Cant really find proof of that, but someone here im sure knows what im talking about. I however did find this.
The first distance to be measured with any accuracy was that of the Moon. In the middle of the 2nd century BCE, Greek astronomer Hipparchus pioneered the use of a method known as parallax. The idea of parallax is simple: when objects are observed from two different angles, closer objects appear to shift more than do farther ones. You can demonstrate this easily for yourself by holding a finger at arm's length and closing one eye and then the other. Notice how your finger moves more than things in the background? That's parallax! By observing the Moon from two cities a known distance apart, Hipparchus used a little geometry to compute its distance to within 7% of today's modern value – not bad!
Knew about parallax, triangulation and/or the distance to (or spherical shape of) the lights in the sky? The horoscope doesn't require any of those things.
Someone knew the world was round, long before humans could supposedly even add and subtract. Inconsistencies, for sure.
Possibly, but the first people to historically record such a thing (that survived to us, anyhow) were the ancient greeks and they came to the conclusion by sitting around and guessing. The ancient egyptians conceived of a flat world, for instance.
Even a freshman physics student can refute trolls like this.

When you are driving, or in/on any moving vessel, look at the ground close to you and compare it to the ground far in the distance.
The ground near you appears to be moving very quickly (when you are, anyhow) and the ground in the distance (or a bilboard, for instance) seems to be moving much more slowly.
The reverse of this effect is the reason you can see things moving very quickly at a great distance (of course, assuming they are big enough and light from them is received by your eye).
If the bullet were large enough (or illuminated in some way, like a tracer round for instance) you could do this test yourself to confirm - but it is the exact same situation as with the billboard.
The billboard is moving the same speed relative to you as the ground right below the window of your car, yet appears much slower. If you could fly the car up to be close to the billboard - it would appear to whiz by just like the road does (close to you) on the highway. Likewise, as you get farther and farther away from the billboard it appears to move slower and slower - even though you are still traveling the same speed.

This is beyond retarded

Has no basic understanding of the parallax effect, or even relative motion if I had to guess.

Mainstream science, gatekeepers of truth.
We know that someone had a good idea bout everything long before the greeks started toying with the idea. Whoever built the horoscope knew.
Whoever built the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism knew.

Also requires none of those things - right?

Flat earthers will never provide any data that can actually be measured.

Get out of here, you fucking paid shill.
Fuck the amount of retardation here.
We truly deserve that asteroid hit on earth .
Learning ? Thinking dor oneself , who needa that? Just meme, bro!

This is a false talking point. Tracer rounds actually appear rather slow in real life. Easily discredited without any math.
Think before you post.
The Lost History Of The Flat Earth
Satellites are not orbiting the earth in space. It is a fake and gay lie.
Over 95% of international data and voice transfers are routed through the many fiber optic cables that span across the sea floors all over the world.
