He has to be joking.
He's an artist, he had to travel around the world at some point.

He has traveled around the world - in a circle around the north pole, which is at the center.

Hip-Hop beef got weird. B.o.B - Flatline - feat. Neil Tyson

NDT must respond with his own track.

 

[Brazil]

I liked you Bob.

 

[LiK]

someone blast him off into space so his ignorance can be taught.

 

[MrBigBoy]

Once you reach the edge there is an invisible dimensional rift that immediately transports you to the other side of the disc to give you the illusion of an unbroken single land mass.

Duh.

Oh yeah why didn't I think about that.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Yeah, the song just makes it worse.

 

[Kaladin]

Wtf at this song. Flatline, there is no superior bloodline? Maybe the flat earth thing is a gimmick to explain why his music fell off.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

But besada...

GoPros aren't reliable for documenting the earth.

A curved lense would make straight lines appear curved?

So that's why all my videos look like this:

Just like the settings of your favorite 16-bit RPGs, our world is a donut. If you go far enough "North" in Canada, you can see Patagonia.

Spoiler

donuts are just bagels for people who are not freemasons.

"What if the world was made of glazed donuts?"

 

[CloudyTuba]

Can't believe you took the time to do this. Really awesome.

BoB with the troll promotion for his new track, don't know if it was worth all the slander he got though

What happens when you pretend to be an idiot: Everyone thinks you're an idiot.

When you reveal you were just pretending to be an idiot: Everyone thinks you're an idiot.

If only people really knew the earth was square

 

[Chuckpebble]

B.o.B. is a genius. Why? Because I had no idea this person existed yesterday. Well played.

 

[Mineshaft_Gap]

You're all a bunch of fucking shills for the global globe companies.

Wake up sheeple.

 

[Kid Kamikaze10]

For the "earth is flat" shit, he gets props for using his conspiracy fuckery to get views.

For bringing up Holocaust Denying via referencing David Irving? Fuck him.

If Earth is flat, why are all the other planets round?

Because we're special.

Yeah this shit's gone past funny into fucked up
Also don't holocaust deniers hate everyone who isn't white on general principle, what with being Neonazis? Why would BoB namedrop someone who wants him dead?

A bunch of my friends put a balloon with a camera high enough to see the curvature of the earth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU-lrfs_ipo

We're done here.

Lol this is proof? And its funded by NASA? Sure. Also the transposed text did little to hide the amateurish edits and matte paintings.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

NASA should offer him a trip on the U-2 plane so he can see the curvature himself.

 

[sarcastor]

Evidence of a spherical earth:

1. boats go over the horizon
2. other planets are round
3. you can literally sail around the world
4. nothing else explains the sun and the moon
5. go-pros and high flying balloons
6. astronauts. in space.
7. video of earth, the sun and other planets.
8. thousands of satellites in orbit. constantly being tracked as they orbit Earth

Evidence of a flat earth:

1. I can see a city 25 mile away, therefore the earth is flat.
2. ???

He was NEVER trying to be funny. He's serious about it all! Why can't people understand this?

"I'm going to pretend to be a racist/antisemite flat earther in order to get people to like me and buy my records"

How does this plan work?

The mass conspiracy theorist is a completely undertapped market when it comes to popular music.

"Hey, you ever hear of this B.o.B guy?"
"Nah, who's that?"
"He's this rapper. Done a few Top 10 songs."
"Nah, don't know him."
"He thinks the Earth is flat and downplayed the atrocities committed by the Nazis."
"Shit, I gotta buy that album!"

 

[Noema]

It's kind of elegant, in a demented way. Perfectly explains compasses and why circumventing the earth according to the maps we use still wouldn't get you to the edge. They've even worked out models for the solar and lunar transits to account for how day and night cycles would work on a flat Earth:

Gotta hand it to them, they've given it some thought at the very least.

It's epicycles all over again.

Also, I really want to see a debate where Flat Earth assholes and Hollow Earth assholes try to discredit one another.

well to their credit there is a lot you can list in the second list there if you resarch it.

 

[shoreu]

People actually believe this on my Tl too. I felt surrounded by morons

 

[DragonSworne]

How do flat earthers explain sunsets and sunrises? The lamp theory doesn't explain that.

 

[Yagharek]

People actually believe this on my Tl too. I felt surrounded by morons

On the plus side this confirms you're of above average intelligence.

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Nope, he can't be serious. I've enjoyed a B.O.B. ditty in my day. Nope, he can't believe that.

I was thinking about this question. 16 miles is 0.06425% of the Earth's circumference. That's loosely around one twentieth of a single percent (more exact fraction being closer to 8/125).

This translates to around one fifth of a single degree with it comes to angles (0.2313 degrees exactly).

If my math is right and I didn't screw this up, please someone tweet this to him:

Short answer: None. This is a real circle I created in Photoshop, zoomed in to display only "16 miles" worth. Just because it looks flat doesnt mean it is. That is literally a circle we're looking at.

You photoshopped your photoshop! The earf is flat dooood!

 

[FStop7]

In all seriousness it's pretty fucked up that BoB took himself down the holocaust denial road.

 

[Tubobutts]

In all seriousness it's pretty fucked up that BoB took himself down the holocaust denial road.

All conspiracy theories have to involve the Jews somehow. It's a law.

 

[AxelFoley]

Question to Flat Earthers--if the Earth is flat, have any of you ever been to the edge? I would think by now someone would go and take a picture of the edge and bring back proof.
