Lumi's Batshit Insane Thread

I'm not saying the Earth is flat, but I am saying the calculations for the curvature of the Earth are hilariously inaccurate.

It's attached to the main water line of your house so literally your entire houses water is filtered.

This is the system I bought. After shipping and plumber installation it was about 2,500$. Not too bad really. It's an instant very noticeable difference.

That's a great investment. I bought a Berkey Water Filter and a chlorine showerhead filter and noticed a huge improvement in my health within a few weeks.

I love math! Can we start with some better numbers?

1. Hilltop Ski Resort: elevation 1796ft - 2090ft
2. Mt. Susitna: elevation 4,396'
3. Dist between the two: 37mi

Ok, curvature checks out now. Thank you for giving me something to fact verify this morning; things were going a little slow between meetings.

I love this... and although I'm sure you enjoyed doing it, you've gotta know it's futile right?

Great response. Thanks man.

Strange how Kansas is literally considered to be flatter than a pancake.

Don't bother trying to convince people that the earth is flat. They don't care.

Well, it's not that we don't care, it's just that we know the earth isn't flat. But in any case, you're right. Don't try to convince people that the earth is flat.

No, you don't care and you're wrong. Be honest. If the Earth was flat you'd never believe it no matter what evidence was presented.

Well, that's not true, but fortunately we'll never know because the earth isn't flat.

That's a very interesting lie you've swallowed. Nothing I show you will change your mind.

'The born-again Christian thing didn't get any hits and I was told to shut the fuck up, so better move on to Flat Earth.'

Fucking boring, dude.

Is that supposed to constitute some kind of proof?

Yeah, the truth is pretty boring.

Oh, man. The fact that you believe that bears testimony to the potential stupid in people.

Here's the meme version, because you asked.

You do realise that scale has something to do with that reflective thing, right?

Almost as stupid as the current explanation for how Eclipses work.



Sun is millions of miles away, supposedly, and in every other example of how light works we're shown light is coming in at a 90 degree angle, perpendicular to the earth.

Like this:



But that can't work, because the darkest part of the shadow of the moon on the earth would be at least as big as the moon: 2,159 miles wide.



Oh, and if that wasn't enough - the shadow is going backwards. Have fun with that.

Cool video, bro. Where are the stars?
