If that were any true, nights would be super short in Canada and we all know that's not the case, especially during winters.
There would also be no sunsets. Only the sun moving away in the distance each evening.

You don't understand, all of these things are illusions, none of those things have ever happened. You're just believing what people have told you to believe.
Have you looked with your own eyes, look beyond the lies!

There was a gaffer who thought the first Word War had the technological level of the middle-ages, and hell no i'm not gonna go find that post because i feel sorry for that guy. I also had a teacher who would microwave her creditcards and any other cards of hers that had a visible microchip to "not get spied on". There is no bottom to human stupidity, flat-earthers need to step up their game to impress me and not just remake a misconception from ancient times.
It just really bothers me that we have millennia of study and research into stuff like this, all peer reviewed and studied without bias, and they think it can all be dismissed with "Where's the curve! Airplane windows have fisheye lenses!"
Why does the sun disappear over the horizon if the earth is flat? Wouldn't it just remain high in the sky but fade out according to them? Why do we have different climates? Why do hurricanes rotate in different directions depending on the hemisphere?
I don't get how anyone can believe in a flat earth. It's like not believing that 2+2=4.
Antintellectualism is ruining modern civilization and you can thanks Hollywood for that, where in every story the scientist know nothing and the Everyman solves everything with his wit.
They didn't though. Columbus knew it was round, wasn't that the whole basis of his mission?

I had a conversation with a person who shared this view recently. It was like talking to somebody that believes in God, I tried my hardest to keep a straight face.

is there an official flat earth map of the world, I'm curious to see what's in the centre and where i am in relationship to it?
Say what you like about these nut jobs, but conspiracy theories are a fuck-ton of fun to talk about.
I guess we all owe them that.
No, the basis of the mission was that Columbus thought the earth was smaller than everyone else did - meaning he thought he could easily sail to India by going West.
Columbus was completely wrong of course, but just happened to stumble accross a new Landmass. (He still thought he had landed in India though).
Speaking of winters, how do flat earthers explain that one if we're all on a flat surface? Shouldn't all regions get snow at the same time if that were the case? Let me guess, they have some dumb shit explanation just like the whole flat Earth thing to begin with.
Lol.. this also seems very anti intellectual
Well it's not the cause but it helps normalizing things like this.Movies have been been around for well over a century. Two of the current major studios are over 100 years old.
It's really the internet and particularly the stupidity still that we call social media.

I wonder if conspiracy theorists deep inside actually find comfort in believing that everything is controlled and follows a plan. That believe just makes the world much more comprehensive
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.
I...I... I'm not sure how to deal with what you just described. Holy shit.

I dying at this stupidity.

I'll stick to my guns and refuse to make fun of people for believing differently than I do, even when there is tons of evidence against what they believe, I won't make them feel like shit for believing it.

How does that explain a lunar eclipse?
Do you say this about holocaust deniers? "Virginia Tech was a haux"? How about Pizzagate, leading to armed lunatics going after innocent store owners?
Alright, this is one too many. I feel like in the past week I've come across more discussion about flat earth believers than the rest of my life combined. Facebook, reddit, GAF. Someone even brought it up in real life. Has actually been a general increase in interest on the topic lately?

There's supposed to be an invisible/dark object of equal size in rotation with the Sun and Moon.
End of thread.
Whenever these jokers come up with their flat earths and fake moon missions, i remain unimpressed. These guys aren't trying hard enough i say, they mostly qualify as mild amusement to me.
This is actually something I think disproves this kind of nonsense for the sheer fact that there is an answer for everything down the most crazy detail. We don't even know most of the creatures living in the oceans or rain forests but we of course have all the answers to flat Earth questions. Again it's like arguing with a child in a lot of ways.
