    I actually remember doing that experiment. Somewhat mundane to watch, but effective.

    So the entire universe is a conspiracy.

    You can see the ISS from earth. Do some research dude .

    As Voltaire eloquently put it: Common sense isn't common. Everything boils down to perception and especially socal media can warp people's perception pretty drastically and can sway people away from reason and logic by using emotionally charged and accusative language, and of course de-contextualized quotes and shamelessly altered images. Especially fringe theorists know how to use this trick very well: They call themselves educated thinkers and everyone who follows their path is called awakened even though their basis of proofs is as shaky as a castle built on sand. Then through herd mentality you have this crowd calling for supposedly indoctrinated "sheeple" to "wake up" and see the world as warped as they do. This is why a few people still follow theories like Flat Earth as they do today and are pretty much vocal if not shrill about it.

    You "can't see" the Earth's curvature because people don't have a practical use for it any more and therefore rely on sloppy experiments, back then when there were still huge battles at sea or invading ships been expected the observation posts knew to look out for sails first, these days you can just take a plane and see the curvature on clear days by yourself and if that's not enough you just have to wait for an eclipse and check then Earth's shadow being cast onto the moon. I mean I have seen it myself, not sure why others struggle seeing it.

    Clearly an omnipotent being can be stopped from watching you by simply drawing the curtains.

    The moon spins, but to do what you're saying doesn't quite work. I believe it takes an entire earth month for the moon to rotate around. That being said, because it's so slow, it always has the same face towards the earth. Looking at it later will change the shadows you see on the craters, but not the actual location of the craters.

    You left out the context. I learned that as I was reading on it and edited the post. It still changes, but much more subtly.



    Oh and I was browsing Hammerfest's videos. They pretty much say the exact same thing as he does: "Everything is fake, no we won't provide any sort of evidence or alternate explanation for the evidence beyond that it is fake."

    I'm the type of person that tries to always hear evidence presented by both sides, but they sure make it difficult when they don't actually provide any evidence, and just make irrational blanket assertions and assumptions over and over. Fake fake fake fake fake. It actually hurts my brain to listen to. Though a humorous highlight was one of them claiming that the Nazi Freemasons were behind it all.

    I always try my best to understand people's positions through reason, but I really need to come to terms with the fact that positions that were not obtained through reason cannot be understood through reason.

    I'm curious about one thing: how has NASA managed to hide its time traveling tech from everyone? I mean, if the Earth is actually flat and not spinning, and we've been lied from NASA this whole time, then NASA should have sent agents to time travel all the way back to Newton's times and brainwash everyone there too!

    Even more so, there is evidence that Mayan mathematicians also believed that the Earth wasn't flat and it was spinning... And even in Ancient Greece, I think, someone managed to build a theory of that. That time travel tech is surely great, I want to get my hands on it!

    It must all be connected! The aliens (AKA "the lizardmen" as they are derogatorily named by the sheeple of today) allied with the Nazi Freemason New World Order. The aliens would get the rest of the universe all to themselves, and the New World Order would get the time travel and cloaking devices necessary to enact their sinister plot for world domination and hide the true nature of the universe from mankind.

    But if the world is flat, then where did aliens come from? Oh, wait... Nobody has ever been deep in the ocean, and all footage we have from there is obviously fake. The lizard people live deep underwater and control the world through Nazi Freemason New World Order posing as NASA! We have figured it out, yaaaaay!!!

    Yep, it's one of our basic childhood "facts." They seem very interested in wanting you to believe that you live on a spinning ball, don't they? They want you to know that in Kindergarten, even... before you learn a lot of other, more practical things.

    No, just because Flat Earthers believe the Earth is flat, that doesn't mean they think the Earth is smooth.

    You've never seen the ISS from Earth. You can't see the ISS from Earth anymore than you can see the Great Wall Of China from space (even if there was such a thing as space).

    I could make a case for space. Call me a space-case.

    The tech you need practical things to use wouldn't exist without those "impractical" things taught in schools.

    Is it a satire? If so, nicely done.

    You can see the ISS from earth, try it yourself go to "heavens above" and set up your location and see when you can observe it, then hope for good weather and watch it with ya own eyes. And yes you are right for the first time in this thread, you actually cant see the great wall of chine from space. GOOD JOB!
