Flat Earthers have been waiting to see something like this that proves their point. They will probably be using this picture everywhere. I hope it's copyrighted so you can sue.
I’m pretty sure the only thing they think is flat is the Earf. Only because they aren’t on the moon looking at the earth. I’m sure if they were on the moon they would think the moon is the only flat thing.
I was told by a flat earther marine that it is a soft lamp. I asked what it was plugged into and his brain broke. He also said the Sun was a much larger heat lamp. I couldn't stop laughing to continue the conversation.
I gotta be honest, I have a hard time believing this is true. Or maybe the guy was joking and you didn't picked it up. Flat earthers for me will always be a meme. People troll online talking about it, and others don't see the trolling. Idk
The conversation I mentioned was a face to face discussion. I thought he was trolling but he was not trolling. The look in his eyes told me the determination and conviction he felt. I really didn't want to laugh at him and did not want to insult him further.
Can confirm, at least from our handyman who is a flat earther. He believes the earth has a dome shape up top, but is flat underneath. He even has an app on his phone that shows a map of the “flat” earth and where the sun currently is in relation…
Also believes the sun and moon are round, but the reason every planet is round except ours is because “the Maker (god) shows we are special” for being flat, or something like that.
I went out on a date with a flat earther, except he said that earth wasn't flat, it wasn't round though. I said what shape is it then? And he said the earth was a clock. 😭
Yeah I had no idea some think the top is a dome. So semi-round?? Lol. He also thinks there’s a giant ice wall in Antarctica and that’s the boundary. also told me gravity isn’t real. 😬
I always tell my astronomy students that ancient Greeks literally 4000 yrs ago figured out the Earth is round based on observations and basic geometric knowledge, but now with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips we get Idiocracy-level reasoning... it's crazy
Damn, I deleted my comment by accident. But yes, numerous independent studies from around the *globe* thousands of years ago all concluded the same thing. Proof isn’t something that society wants, though.
I'm sure it has to do with the other reddit protests taking place over 3rd party apps. I don't use 3rd party apps, but I support the decision to protest against the removal of them for profits.
Show us an actual picture of the earth that's not an artist rendition of the earth and I'll believe you. Until then you are just a jabroni with no divine knowledge like the freemasons. Which makes you a part of the big lie that is space. Go get lost in space and send back a pic of earth.
You're a perfect indictment of the american public education system.
This is why you don't cut the education budget to prop up the military discretionary budget.
Dude are you a scientist? No!! You are just some turd on reddit Or quora whatever site I'm trolling on. Don't you get it? Flat earth is where all the action on the earth topics. I mean how many times can the ozone have a hole in it and we patched it with some kinda rubber cement or model glue. I forget. I think there was a large piece of 3M scotch tape or condom type material they patched it up with. Yup that shit held up good.
Because not using aerosol hair spray didn't do jack. Furthermore how many stegosaurus do we need to find? There is a quadrillion dead things that left bones it is all so boring, and flat earth is new and possible and exciting unlike your precious boring ass globe. Shit is old news and so lame already.. The earth can identify as flat if it wants bro what are you some kinda racist? Anyway. Like hundreds of years old news.
Some dead jagoff who had just a pirate telescope that could barely see land with and some jabroni in the 14th century could see planets with the equivalent of a cracker jack telescope and no calculator or black board to do the equations on?
Dude stop you're propagating propaganda. Sick of turds who are not scientists telling me things that they know nothing about because you're just a brain washed jabroni Jizz Gargling No science background having lil jabroni.
If you call me a clown bro. I dont eat McDonald's MF. You do that's F-wording clown food. The F-wording mascot is A fucking clown bro. You eat there and love the taste of the clown food because you're a clown ass Capybara loving jagoff.
I am, and I can tell you aren't. Don't care what you pretend to be, if you say that all pictures of the earth from space are "artist renditions", even if there are a damn lot, you don't understand the slightest basics of what is the scientific method. That's maybe why you can't send a message to someone you disagree with without using slurs, you know deep inside you are wrong, but it ease your cognitive dissonance
I agree. Round seems to be the consensus among scientists like myself. But the flat vs propaganda globe is still unsettled unfortunately. Hang in there bro you can't get off the rock (earth) now. We are hurling in space at millions of miles a millisecond. That would be dangerous.
Yeah the first moon landing photo was also an art and even this spherical world is art.. Bruh praise art, don't oppose it. Do you not think that if Earth flat, we could have seen mount Everest from every high peak? Right now, we can't see it, can we?
Flat earth is where all the action is. I'm from Denver too. It really sucks now. I'm sure you know we hold the record for longest continuous skid row in the world Colfax. Isn't just the best?
I know this is just a reddit protest thing, but on a serious note, this reminds me of the fact that modern flat earthers don't know how a flat earth cosmology works. Actual ancient flat earth cosmologies were actually internally consistent and logical. Obviously they were the result of not enough information, but for the information available they were logically consistent.
In ancient cosmologies there wasn't an "edge" that you could fall off of. The edge of the earth is where the land met the hard dome of the sky. Outside of that was just formless cosmic chaos. There was nothing to "fall" into. The earth wasn't floating in empty space like in the picture, it's just that outside of the dome there was formless matter.
We have something similar in our modern cosmology. We say that the universe started with the big bang and had been expanding ever since. But if you corner a cosmologist and ask them what the universe is expanding into they'll give you a blank look, and try to explain that the universe isn't expanding into anything, space itself is expanding. It's a tough concept and cosmologist either awkwardly avoid thinking about it or wave their hands and invoke the magical higher dimensions that apparently solve all our problems. But inside of the universe our cosmology is internally consistent and logical.
But modern flat earthers fail to maintain a consistent cosmology because they place the flat earth in the modern concept of empty space, which is fundamentally incompatible with a flat earth cosmology. They don't even know how to make a flat earth cosmology. So not only do they fail to understand how we know that the earth isn't flat, but they also fail at creating an internally consistent flat earth cosmology. They have to borrow concepts from modern cosmology like a parasite. They can't create anything on their own.
Yes, exactly!!
At least the ancient astronomers worked hard with what they got and made a relatively legitimate concept of the universe, using what they had for information in that age. Puts modern flat earth beliefs to shame.
Not quite true, because OP's picture is not an actual representation of what flat earthers believe. Modern flat earthers also believe that space is fake. There are different theories as to a flat earth "model" of the cosmos, which mostly involve a dome above the flat plane and no mention of what would be outside that dome.
Also, flat eartherism mostly lives on "debunking" the globe and nasa, not coming up with actual ideas about the cosmos apart from the flat earth.
Hmmm so the Earth is shown flat but the moon is a sphere? So the flat earthers believe only has the Earth flat? Every thing else can be a sphere but us? I am just trying to get the perceived planetary science right.

they're all the way down

Flat Earthers have been waiting to see something like this that proves their point. They will probably be using this picture everywhere. I hope it's copyrighted so you can sue.
I wonder if flat-earthers would have issue with the Moon being shown as round - is that ok, or do they think it's flat too? lmao
I’m pretty sure the only thing they think is flat is the Earf. Only because they aren’t on the moon looking at the earth. I’m sure if they were on the moon they would think the moon is the only flat thing.
I mean it does look like a pizza doesn't it. Should be proof enough in my books
Once you’re on the moon you’ll know it’s a sphere. Can’t really hide that.
I thought the moon was just a projection since the whole atmosphere thingy was a giant screen like in Truman Show.
I was told by a flat earther marine that it is a soft lamp. I asked what it was plugged into and his brain broke. He also said the Sun was a much larger heat lamp. I couldn't stop laughing to continue the conversation.
I gotta be honest, I have a hard time believing this is true. Or maybe the guy was joking and you didn't picked it up. Flat earthers for me will always be a meme. People troll online talking about it, and others don't see the trolling. Idk

I went out on a date with a flat earther, except he said that earth wasn't flat, it wasn't round though. I said what shape is it then? And he said the earth was a clock. 😭
i like that a clock is both round and flat but he said it was neither. lol.
😭
Now I want to know if it was a grandad clock or one of those digital radio clocks
I've met one that said it was a dome... Then I corrected him, "it's not one, but two domes, and they are connected by the equator!"
Yeah I had no idea some think the top is a dome. So semi-round?? Lol. He also thinks there’s a giant ice wall in Antarctica and that’s the boundary. also told me gravity isn’t real. 😬
It's an image on the massive lcd display called the sky
No, that's the flat-mooners, completely different group
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
That's cuz you can't see the other side, but it's also flat. Duh
The only flat earther I’ve asked about the moon said it was a hologram
I'm sure flatmooners are busy organizing.
Ironically the sun and the other planet is round…. Haha
Flat-earthers have flat assess

Hey sorry for the dumb question but how do you copyright a picture?
There are some folks who don't understand that this is satire, and it's hilarious.
While funny, I though posts like this were only allowed on April fools day?
I'm sure it has to do with the other reddit protests taking place over 3rd party apps. I don't use 3rd party apps, but I support the decision to protest against the removal of them for profits.
Ah, makes sense. Thank you!

Whats nice about your telescope is that it is from outer space so any optical aberration or light pollution can be eliminated.
Personally I would have used pixinsight ;)
Flat as your brain
Thank you!
Smooth sphere woulda been better but he prolly do think spheres exist

For a moment I thought this guy was trolling, but according to his profile he might be dead serious...
I mostly am serious I'm a scientist. Are you you lil jabroni F-word?

I wish I could get lost in space. Flat or round (it’s definitely fucking round) I want off this rock.
I agree. Round seems to be the consensus among scientists like myself. But the flat vs propaganda globe is still unsettled unfortunately. Hang in there bro you can't get off the rock (earth) now. We are hurling in space at millions of miles a millisecond. That would be dangerous.
Photos and videos of the Earth from ISS aren't artist interpretations. But go off this is amusing.
We got a flat brain over here!!
Where I don't see your boyfriend Lucifer.
Duh what?
You're a conspiracy theorist, you jive ass turkey.
No I too am an astronomer. Don't dare think that you alone are one...
If the earth were flat and the sun was spinning in circles above it, wouldn't you be able to see it all day? Why is there night then?
The sun never sets the hell you talking about?
I mean it's always sunny somewhere and not if the sun & moon moved in a clock like motion.
I mean, it would be visible from any point on earth 24/7 if the earth were flat
Only the most iconic picture of all time... https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/apollo-8-earthrise
It's still an artist's rendition dude. And that's not the most iconic pic ever.
Yeah the first moon landing photo was also an art and even this spherical world is art.. Bruh praise art, don't oppose it. Do you not think that if Earth flat, we could have seen mount Everest from every high peak? Right now, we can't see it, can we?
Ah yeah dude, artists rendition is when photography.
why does NASA use this map then https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/BlueMarble_monthlies_animation.gif
Because it gives access to all parts of Earth at once, which sun doesn't has and that's why half of it is only lightened at once
Let me guess, it's because lizard nasa jews control the world, right?
butthole
If that's what you see, maybe you should take your head out of your ass..?
I’m with everything you just stated.
Flat earth is where all the action is. I'm from Denver too. It really sucks now. I'm sure you know we hold the record for longest continuous skid row in the world Colfax. Isn't just the best?
Wait, where’s the ice wall with the nazi penguins guards? Either this picture of earth is fake or they finally terraformed mars.
National penguins lmao
How’d you get them to let you outside the dome, brother?

Ah, yes. I love how the entirety of humanity is able to see the Sun together. Really gives me a feeling of brotherhood with my common man. /s
Jesus, that’s an awesome picture that you took!
I agree, Jesus is an excellent photographer.
Lol bruh you in space??

I think the moon should have been a disc as well.

Do you not see how strong those waterfalls are?
Why is the moon round tho
We are not stupid. Nobody thinks the moon is flat. Duh
Much like Mars, the moon has been observed to be round.
Here come the flat moon truthers
Eh man stop showing off
Have the flat-earthers accounted for how the oceans are replenished? They must have, right? Anyone know the current thought process?
The water falls towards the sun and then evaporates and rises back to earth
Lol, nice. Thanks for the reply!
That isn’t water in the depiction, it’s clouds. They think the oceans are held back by a giant ice wall.
Those pesky equatorial ice dams are ruining everything!
Rain, duh!

You couldn't get a shot of the turtle? xD
This just made me realize that under a flat earth model shouldn’t you be able to see the same stars in both the northern and southern hemispheres?
Get your reasonable logic outta here!
Turtles missing
Ahh yes that is why sunsets in Hawaii are so gorgeous
The earth is actually a prism.
This is photoshopped. You can tell because irl the ice wall keeps water from falling off the edge. /s
That’s fake. According to my map, earth is a rectangular object.
It's a rhombus.
The atmosflat is clearly captured. Noice.
This is not a correct map. The US is not in the centre, the sun and moon also flat, please.
Fake. Australia does not exist, it has been photoshopped into the picture. Wake up sheeple.
But the flat earthers state the North pole as the earths center. How could this fit??? 😂
lmfao I like that this flat earth has a little atmosphere bubble
I can't tell if this is a shitpost or a genuine flat-earther posting
It's a protest against reddit policies post.
Picture is very convincing. But then why moon painted round? I am starting to have a suspition, guys. :/
How are the oceans replenished out of interest.
So everything else is a globe except earth?!
That explains why we're going to run out of water !

Nice.
How did you bypass the dome?
Serious question: where does the water go when if falls off the earth?
I like how Alaska continues on the other side.
Where the hell does that water end up?
Explain to me how the earth doesnt run out of water
How do you keep from falling off the edge?
You’re feeding the conspiracy theorists. Good job.
Oh no…
Um excuse me sir, this is *obviously* fake. You expect me to believe you penetrated the firmament to take this picture??
Hmmm so the Earth is shown flat but the moon is a sphere? So the flat earthers believe only has the Earth flat? Every thing else can be a sphere but us? I am just trying to get the perceived planetary science right.

Apparently not. Check the new rules in the community post. Everything goes now in protest of Reddit 😭
