Support NeoGAF

To be fair though, the horizon isn't an artefact of the curvature of the earth; more the sheer distance. Even if the earth was flat, you wouldn't be able to see the end of it wherever you were.

The easiest way to "prove" the earth isn't flat is just to watch a time-lapse of the stars.

Alternatively, airplanes. If the Earth was flat it would be faster and more efficient to fly in a "straight line" on the map rather than an arc.

What's underneath flat earth? 🤔

Centipedes and stuff.

 

[HStallion]

My standing challenge to any and all Flat Earthers to prove they are right by shoving me off the edge of our flat word to my death (AKA The Sinclair Gambit) has gone answered now for ten years and counting.

Fucking cowards.

I just make a bet with them that if they are able to take me to the actual edge of the Earth I'll give them $5000 but if they can't do that they have to owe me that $5000. Surprisingly no one has ever seriously taken me up on the offer despite being absolutely sure the Earth is flat. You'd think they'd like an easy 5 grand.

 

[Acorn]

We're getting weekly threads about it on gaf. For like the last two months atleast either due to bemusement or some celebrity stating their belief in it before lulz "I was only joking that I was an idiot, you suckers!" Statements follow.

 

[Markoman]

Anyone have a link to these videos I wanna see how crazy they are.

Here you go...but be warned, at some point your brain will scream "kill me" OR you will fall down the rabbit-hole.

Just go to 4chan, and check out the /x/ board. Every crazy ass theory and conspiracy you could ever want along with ghosts and pyschics. It'll make you want to slam a handle of whiskey and eat a bullet.

 

[Tertullian]

Yeah well, if the Earth's not flat, how come there's a NeoGAF thread about it every fucking day? Checkmate you dirty rounders.

 

[SilentRacoon]

What's underneath flat earth? 🤔

A smashed cockroach God freaked about and that's why earth is in its current flat form.

Missed the thread last week about Joe Rogan with a flat-earther on his podcast?

Big, if true.

Jesus almost an hour. What is this like a religion thing or something. Reminds me of Scientology jargon.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Someone said this in the last thread and they meant it.

 

[HStallion]

Nah fam, its hollow.

This is another one I love just going,"Ok cool Hollow Earth is real. Lets go there RIGHT NOW! No more bull shitting about conspiracies or anything, lets go right fucking now!" I'm still waiting to go there.

 

[Markoman]

Nah fam, its hollow.

Why not both? With lizzard people living inside.

 

[platocplx]

Nah fam, its hollow.

Came to talk about hollow earth. Not even disappointed lmaooo

 

[Lenz44]

Nah fam, its hollow.

If I had to choose between the two, the hollow earth theory is way cooler.

 

[caffeware]

It's coming!

 

[OldMan]

Flat earth theory is what's occupying all the hive minds out there.

It went from ice bucket challenge, planking, Harlem shake etc. to now this flat earth theory.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

The whole flat Earth is most bonkers to because WE'VE LEFT THE PLANET AND LOOKED BACK AT IT. It's clearly NOT FLAT.

Have you personally seen it bro? Keep an open mind man.

For flat Earth to be true, you also have to believe that the moon landing was fake and space travel, satellites, etc. aren't real

 

[Big Nikus]

What's underneath flat earth? 🤔

Adrien Brody.

 

[Extollere]

HAHAha. All that needs to be said really. I really wanna know the flat Earth theory for gravity. What causes gravity on Earth if the planet is a flat disc? And how / why is the Earth flat when the other planets are round?

Certainly they have some kinda canned response for these questions, right?

You can't expect verifiable facts to change peoples minds. I mean this is 2017!

Yeah but they'll just say that it's done to perpetuate the myth or some shit.

 

[JC Lately]

Nah fam, its hollow.

This remind me of that CYOA book, the Underground Kingdom. Was all about exploring the interior of a Hollow Earth. Also there was black hole at the center. Which even by CYOA standards makes no fucking sense.

Yup, and the argument the guy who believes in the flat-earth said that if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, it isn't true.

 

[KernelPanic]

What's next? Rejecting Copernicus and stating that the Sun orbits around the earth?

All the other planets are flat too. So is the moon. I mean, duh.

 

[Markoman]

When you think the guy with the fake tan and crazy hair is the wackiest person you've ever seen/ listened to in regards to """science"""...welp, this world still manages to surprise me.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Flat Eart OT coming soon.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

congrats you've ruined your Youtube suggestions

get ready for autoplay to queue up conspiracy theory vids and infowars rants

 

[Maintenance]

I can understand hollow Earth but I'll never understand flat Earth.

Flat Eart |T

Fixed

 

[lastplayed]

All the other planets are flt two. So is the moon. I mean, duh.

Well just get a good telescope and you can see Jupiter do a complete rotation within a short amount of time.

 

[HStallion]

When will the spherical earth movement takes off to counter the conspiracy to keep people believing the Earth is flat?

It started a few thousand years ago I think. These things take time obviously.

Nah man, the moon is a sphere that glows putrid light. Why else would there be dew on the grass in the morning?

 

[Not]

It's propagated by sad, scared people who don't like how their own personal reality is turning out and are now seeking to control it by deciding for themselves what is and isn't true.

 

[Acorn]

Yup, and the argument the guy who believes in the flat-earth said that if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, it isn't true.

At some point these people evaluate the numbers needed to pull off a flat earth cover-up and conclude that it still exists.

100,000s of people hell lets make it millions all successfully keeping this secret from the public with no compelling evidence leaking out.

Most governments can't stop leaks about interpersonal conflicts leaking but they can carry out a huge conspiracy lol

 

[JC Lately]

Clearly a trick. Telescope manufactures are in on it, just like NASA, the FAA, etc.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

False. The Earth is a triangle or more importantly, a slice of pizza shaped Earth filled with the greatest and bestest of cheese and topped off with the most deserving of toppings, yes even pineapple plants.

Delicious. Checkmate, scientists ✅

As I said its the secret that apparently no one is aware of but also everyone is in on it.

 

[Markoman]

Wait a second... with the sheer amount of conspiracy theories out there, looking at it mathematically...one of them has to be true, right Gaf? But which one is it, that should be main question for the rest of this century and the main purpose of this message board.
