      have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you’ll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.

        Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.

        No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.

      No silly waves are on land. Have you ever heard of earth’s largest wave? Wave Everest. A lot of people climb it every year. Sometimes they call them land waves to distinguish them further from water mountains.

        They’d just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard…

        I actually had a guy come into a store I used to work in, he came around closing… guy would not leave until I heard his salespitch about the flat earth…

        A week later I learned he called corporate who demanded I be fired over refusing to hear him out. Manager told me he had no choice, fire me or get fired and have the replacement fire me.

        It worked out though, Travis eventually left and the new manager couldn’t get anyone to stay… when he found my old file and how long I stayed he offered my job back.

        I had found something closer, easier, and higher paying so I just laughed the offer off. I love my new gig

        I knew someone who like to use flat Earthism to illustrate that there’s little point in debating someone who has no interest in being persuaded. He’d basically state the Earth is flat and use every rhetorical trick in the book to defend his position, exhaust his opponent, and then say, “Could you imagine how frustrated you’d be if I actually believed any of that?” He eventually got his DDS of all things, but I thought he’d make a good lawyer.

          You can debate someone into changing their mind but it’s more like water eroding a stone than any cathartic moment you’d hope for. It’s still worthwhile especially when you consider an audience that’s not inhibited by being ‘under attack’

It’s a giant rug thats’s floating in space propelled by genie’s dark matter astro-projection that moves us at 9.8 meters/sec² and our world was created by an entity named God who’s 3 wishes to the genie was 1. to create this magnificient space rug to house 2. the people that will be spawned created on this wonderful place and will 3. forever worship God and his Magnificient Space Rug and that non-believers will have to suffer their entire life believing in the Round-Earth Conspiracy.

        This has been disproved. We live on a globe in an experimental non-magical universe kept at a university run by wizards who live on a disc held up by four elephants on the book of the Great Atuin.

    I know it’s really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by “gerwin” screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.

    There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn’t appear to be one of them.

    (Googling for “water mountain” just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)
