The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this

A lot of people are turned off by the phrase "flat earth" ... but there's no way u can see all the evidence and not know... grow up

Time-lapse photos of stars form perfect circles... how is this possible ?

Even when Neil deGrasse Tyson tries to talk sense, he ignores him.

@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music

What is even going on here? I know people can get fanatic about crazy things but really? You're going to tell me the earth is flat?

I try to be like Mr. Tyson and ignore an artists beliefs and enjoy the music, but come on son. This is beyond stupid.

More at the link.

Flatten me if old.

If the earth was really flat the extreme edges would be awesome turist locations.

The images would be aweesome ... like the ocean falling into space

Spent a while browsing through some flat earth instagram accounts. Some people believe they are being lied to about EVERYTHING.

You would think he would be like hmm...some of this flat earth stuff makes sense to me...but then again I don't know anything about science so let me defer to the people who do.

If you are just judging from what you can see with your own eyes on earth, go out to the open ocean. On a clear day, you can see the curve of the earth in the horizon.

What's hard to understand about the flat earth people is...what do they think the point is of portraying the planet as round if it's really flat?

What's in it for the scientists, why would they lie?
 
Flat Earth nuttos led me to this little gem:

The Wiki itself is something to behold.

Traveling in a Straight Line
Q. Can't we just circumnavigate the earth by traveling in a straight line without a navigational aid?

A. It is not possible to travel in a perfectly straight line for very long without a navigational aid.

It's not even possible to drive down a long length of highway without turning the steering wheel left or right. Get in a car and see if you can drive down a long stretch of highway without turning the wheel left or right. It's a near impossible thing to do. And when it comes to planes, ships, helicopters, et all., no craft has the ability of traveling in a perfectly straight line without the operator adjusting the craft with regards to visual terrain, compass readings, or what have you.

When one navigates, hands on control is paramount. You wouldn't find a ship captain in New York pointing his vessel in the direction of London, turning on cruise control, and then taking a three week nap in the lower decks. Who knows where he'd end up.
 
What would a flat earth hurtling through space look like?

I imagine not dissimilar to a mortarboard being tossed in the air at the end of a graduation ceremony. So solar systems aren't just some random association of objects orbiting one another, they're actually cosmic commencement ceremonies.
 
Can we pretend that airplanes over flat earths are like shootin' stars
I could really use a globe right now, globe right now, globe right now

This is just the best.
