I mean yeah, the next logical step from 'flat earth' is obviously 'trees are bushes and mountains are trees.'

 

[SDCowboy]

Trees hundreds of kilometers tall? Hmmmmmmm.

Wait, so trees possibly sticking out past our atmosphere? I guess the earth used to just be a giant spike ball. XD

 

[Khaz]

Alright, I'm convinced

How can someone be a flat earther? If a plane flies in a straight line, non-stop, it will arrive at its departure location. That is absolute, irrefutable proof the world is round.

 

[Sblargh]

How many people believe this kind of stuff vs how many people is pushing the envelope to see how far they can take the first group?

 

[Arulan]

 

[Ashodin]

I BELIEVE IN MOUNTAINS

THEY'RE REAL TO ME GODDAMMIT

Spoiler

only nightvale kids will get this

It's like Pac-Man, if you go off the edge you just appear on the other side.

Hi neogaf, just to let you know, you are all humans with big letter H!

Link to no forest on flat earth video

Like I read it but wow, just wow.

 

[Syncytia]

I'm 20 minutes in and this as far as I'll make it.... for today.

So far I've got:

Organic things either rot or dry up in amber. Something about petrified forest and frogs, how could there be magical morphing into rubble. And how do we have transmorphing wood into semiprecious stones. Petrified forest is a fake museum/circus.

"HOW STOCK OF WOOD BECOME PRECIOUS STONES? No answer. But I have."

The official story is that trees fell to a volcano 225 million years ago and they burned in hells fire and rather than rot into the ground they transmorphed into precious gems. And as we see in the picture below, the trees are not broken but perfectly sawn

So. The petrified forest is a fake museum; why did people make this circus of silicon trees? If we notice, the trees are actually very small compared to sequoias in California. The petrified forest is actually made up of branches of the giant silicon trees.

The hills are the stumps.

Then we have Devils Tower. How did this magically form from lava into the air?

And look at the basalt columns in perfect hexagonal shape. You know what else is a hexagon? Bee hives.

The blind sheep cannot see this.

 

[Ashodin]

Yo so like these people are tired of life as they know it so they're going to make shit up about it to seem cool and interesting because honestly life can get a little boring sometimes you know?

 

[FelixOrion]

“They make us think that this is a forest,” he tells us, “when you are actually looking at thirty-meter bushes.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Oh sorry roses don't exist either probably.

 

[Jack Scofield]

I mean. Their proof is pretty much irrefutable that trees used to be huge af.

Goodness.

So...what happened to the rest of the tree, according to these conspiracy theorists? And what would have caused it to be cut so perfectly?

 

[The Lone Courier]

Aliens or lizard people.

 

[WordAssassin]

Not a ball. That would require the Earth to be spherical. It's flat. Duh.

It used to look like a spiked plate.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Neat! The world is vast and full of wonders.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Obvious troll

 

[caffeware]

New evidence of the flat earth comes forward everyday. For example, if tides are created by the moon's attraction, how come lakes are not affected by it.

Open your eyes people.

Oh, true true.

Open your eyes people.

Mind = blown. Can't explain that.

 

[Haly]

I believe it.

Open your eyes people.

While I know you're joking, lakes are affected by it if they're large enough.

 

[Dynomutt]

Dolphins or Lovers...

 

[Zeuanimals]

Makes sense. Flat earthers don't seem to be the type to go outside much.

 

[Lyonaz]

Man I wished our world was populated with giant 100km high trees, what a place that would be.

 

[Trouble]

 

[NYR94]

Anybody good enough with math to explain why this is wrong? These flat-Earthers not only think the Earth is flat but also infinite.

[Lagamorph]

So Flat Earthers think we're living on present day Kashyyyk?

 

[RustyNails]

It's pretty clear that they're trolls now.

 

[Ontoue]

And where is the giant machinery used to cut down these trees you say?

#wakeupsheeple

 

[ClosingADoor]

Hundreds of kilometers tall? That would be pretty cool. But I think any tree would collapse under its own weight at that point.

 

[aliengmr]

That's a lot of stupid.

 

[LakeEarth]

His evidence is that some mountain looks like cut tree trunks? CUT tree trunks? I think there's a small detail he isn't considering there.

 

[kamakazi5]

You have to assume the "leaders" are trolls trying to see how far the followers will go (360 degrees, minimum).

Exactly, it's comments like this that really make you realize that they know exactly what's going on but just love screwing with gullible crazies.

 

[SDCowboy]

Hundreds of kilometers tall? That would be pretty cool. But I think any tree would collapse under its own weight at that point.

Not to mention it would be hard for a tree to exist where there is little to no atmosphere. Heck just the treeline on mountains is only a couple miles. lol

 

[Zeuanimals]

His evidence is that some mountain looks like cut tree trunks? CUT tree trunks? I think there's a small detail he isn't considering there.

Yeah, cut tree trunks are obviously just small mountains.

 

[NobleGundam]

So if the Earf is flat and there's an incoming asteroid in the shape of scissors I'm guessing we're all fucked right?

 

[Protein]

We need CNN to give us both sides of this to make this fair and unbiased.

 

[Username1198]

I think there right and smokey the bear was trying to warn us; "only YOU can prevent forest fires"

Think about it.

 

[Kinsei]

I couldn't even last four minutes into the video.

Dolphins or Lovers...

Both. I can only see four dolphins though.

 

[TickleMeElbow]

I mean. Their proof is pretty much irrefutable that trees used to be huge af.

Goodness.

Damn imagine if someone built a hut and lived up there.

 

[TimeEffect]

I mean. Their proof is pretty much irrefutable that trees used to be huge af.

Goodness.

But how cool would it be if he was right?

I wish we had trees that were the size of mountains. Would have been magestic

 

[Piecake]

Feminine frooties!
(slightly nsfw)

But can Dolphins turn into feminine frooties?

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Why give these morons the satisfaction of acknowledging them? If they think people are listening to their ridiculous ramblings it'll only encourage them. If they had two brains they'd be twice as stupid.

 

[Shaanyboi]

How come these trees haven't evolved into humans?

They're getting there, you'll see...

 

[Speevy]

 

[Dynomutt]

I remember seeing a documentary about this. Essentially evil space beings were once thought to have planted a big tree that absorbed the world’s energy, storing it in its fruit, and whoever eats it is granted godlike power.

I would cut down big ass trees to prevent power hungry beings from total domination. Thank our saviors.

 

[_Ryo_]

I'm not watching an hour and 30 min of bullshit. Can someone summarize?

Edit:
Like, a funny neogaf summary, not the article, I meant

That would involve making someone else watch an hour and thirty minute video of anger inducing bullshit though.

Only a true sadist would ask this of someone.


So, imma put the task on Mandrake.

 

[eBay Huckster]

You'll just walk straight into the crackpot.

moonwalking is a thing
