I WIN.

Gold medal baby fuck yeah!

I'll take a look, but I'm being self serving - I'd love a legit excuse for struggling with structural mechanics



^^^ this part is a nah from me though. These things are built in sections, each column, beam etc is calculated based on load paths etc - it's not one long beam. Most construction involves levelling the ground first too, so I don't think the failure to take a curve into account is proof for a flat earth. Some engineering is an exact science... a lot isn't and works to tolerances, includes factors of safety, amendments to the design are made on site, etc

Well its on to proofs 2 and 3 for you then. Round 2.

Of course they are built like that in segments.
The slight incline would still be calculable and visible as you vertically went up.

That's why its only proof 1 out of at least 200.

A Super sexy face and a super sexy post.
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

Its stuff like this that gives me the biggest boners.
@Dollydud you definitely know how to raise the Tower of Power between my legs.

Ladies, this is what it means to be a structural engineer.
Take lessons from Dolly, who definitely ain't no dud.

Oh my GOD! "hate speech" against the pope and "hate speech" against Catholics

OH MY GAAAWWWD! LOL

If you really want to know what Catholicism is based on feel free to message me off site.
I have been unable to post anything on here about religions I disagree with without my posts being deleted.

Fyi , i happen to like this Pope ( note that i capitalize his title ) . I am also a catholic , but despise those members of it who , were the perpetrators of , or turned a deaf ear , blind eye , and silent tongue to, the very prevalent abuse of children , both physical , and sexual , in fact , you can add emotional as well . Some of the dreadful degradation of innocent , defenseless , human beings , left in their "care" , makes me want to vomit . Having said all that , i have to say that i am fortunate to know some very decent people of the cloth , as well as a number of fine , upstanding, practicing Catholics . I have been heavily involved with Catholicism at various times in my life , but no longer, as i do see religion as " the opium of the masses " , but more to the point , far , far too much evil has been endured by humanity by butchers invoking God's name . Leave me the fuck out .

All spiritual institutions have been infiltrated with no exceptions.
Its the sincere individuals who make the real things happen.

Not the institutions.
Every single spiritual leader in history broke off from previous exploitative institutions.

a change of scenery... the horizon from the ISS...

Am I crazy, or did we completely skip over a rather pertinent post?

Meat Rod: Based on the map you posted elsewhere--the one with the Arctic at the center of a flat earth--a couple of questions arise.

Are we to understand, then, that actual geographic distances are different than we've been told? For example, that Australia is significantly larger, and Canada and Russia significantly smaller, than is generally believed? Or that South America is much larger in relation to North America than is typically represented?

How does the sun, and cosmology in general, factor into this view? And what sort of celestial motion accounts for it being daytime in the U.S. while it's night in India?

Very funny discussion on new flat earth theories. Thought provoking...

It's a fisheye lens. Or an international conspiracy. Or it can't be explained yet, but it will be in the future. Or another reason some guy completely pulled out of his arse.

The evidence? Everything is flat... even when it's not

There is alot to it.
To start off yes, the land masses are about their accurate sizes on the azimuthal equidistant map. But even that map still needs refinement of course. Its about the closest we have to being the most accurate at this time.
The main thing though is the distances ocean wise between stuff south of the southern hemisphere.
The distances are bigger than often proposed. That is a fact southern hemisphere wise.

They are simply dealing with very high altitude planes in those supposed live streams.
There are ways to simulate zero gravity in certain planes used for such fakery.

And yes, they are using once again a fish tail lens to make it appear like.
Notice also that you never see any stars with any of the proclaimed instances where people are supposedly in space taping.
You can even see the stars on earth during the early evening. So the false argument the sunlight blocks the view of the stars when you point towards the black simply does not hold any credence whatsoever.

Its simply too difficult to fakely simulate the stars in their accurate alignments. LOL
For a minute there I thought they were actually showing stars but then I found it was just dust on my computer screen. LOL

Also there is a second method you can use to fake the same stuff they use also.
It can also be faked underwater in a special pool made for the purpose of creating convincing visuals.
In that case thought you just have to avoid the air bubbles from showing up. LOL

The main thing to note is the lack of stars in that supposed live feed.

OK. And the day/night thing?

 

[The Meat Rod Cometh]

OK. And the day/night thing?

The sun moves very highly diagonally above the flat earth disk. Refraction is a big factor in making it falsely appear "directly" over head
There is an extremely large mountain called Mt. Meru that has the shape of an inverted cone. Too far away for us on this part of earth to see.
One of its functions among many is to assure a certain type of shadow pattern to this part of the earth.

There is a ton of detailed math involved in how that part works.
Soon enough I will grasp the math side of it.

Point being, there are legitimate factors that cause such things which make sense.
Diagrams soon to come on that one.

Uh huh.

And the angle of the dangle makes it look bigger too.

One of many proofs the earth is not spinning is that any plane in the air would have to either fly extremely fast to bypass the rotation underneath it OR just wait in the air mostly hovering for the next continent or destination to arrive underneath.

Depending on whether you were flying in the direction of the spin or away from it.

Also water ALWAYS levels out when left sitting. It never curves with a ball but finds its own level, ALWAYS.

Anyone who does not accept the earth is flat and circular now will be doing face palms later that some crazy ass guy online who drove people nuts was actually correct about so many things.

LOL That will be a funny day indeed and any who are globe earthers now will be really pissed off at themselves. This day IS coming and will happen in your lifetimes.
Then you will ask: What else was this "Meat Rod" nut job correct about?
And the research will then and only then finally begin in full and in earnest on all subjects thus brought up by those who are currently globe earth believers.

Are you familiar with the basic idea of how inertia works?

 

[michaelmed21]

This thread makes my brain hurt...
This guy doesn't believe the in a round earth based on that facts we know and can mostly prove but yet he believes there's a giant inverted mountain that we can't see shading the sun from the earth?? What?? Send help.

I don't expect it to happen in mine. Of course, that's only because I'm old.
