  2. I’m probably just singing with the choir here but just wanted to say how much I’ve appreciated your frank and informative videos. I don’t watch mainstream news but after spending time with my elderly parents who always have it on, I was struck by the contrast of all the doom and gloom around Covid compared to your more down to earth, factual presentations. Given how much stress and anxiety affects our physical health, I think these news services should be absolutely ashamed of themselves and I was able to share with my parents some of the things I’ve learnt from your channel that they’re not getting from the crap on tv.

  6. The Goodies was a popular show in Australia and staple viewing for a lot of Aussie kids growing up in the 70s and 80s. The actors actually had ties to the Monty Python cast back before they were Monty Python and the humour in the Goodies is similar although distinctly unique. A lot of the shows would be considered too politically incorrect by today’s standards but it was awesome show back in the day and superbly well written and produced.

  7. My wife got it earlier this year and I had to isolate with her - didn’t even try to keep my distance, just figured oh well I’ll get it too. But I didn’t. But then a month ago I did get it. Different mutation maybe? Or a bit run down? Who knows. But for a while there I assumed I was one of the lucky ones that was immune - I was wrong about that. Although it has to be said it wasn’t that bad.

  9. The problem is people were either complacent and / or trusting of the government. Essentially being forced into a medical experiment should have caused an uproar but the propaganda campaign to belittle and ridicule those who exercised their right to bodily autonomy was extremely effective.

  11. The overarching question here for me is why are we vaccinating kids in the first place? Correct me if I'm wrong but they aren't really at risk of ending up in hospital so why?? It just makes no sense to me. And yet I see parents panicking that their kids aren't vaccinated yet. To me it seems that they are being driven by fear or the desire to be seen to do the right thing - but where is the scientific evidence that kids need vaccines for Covid? This is a genuine question, not trying to be inflammatory. I just don't get it. As for the side effects being rare ... yeah, I don't think they're that rare.

  14.  @dalelore2725  "The mandates are here until it is safe to end them" It's safe to end them now. Other countries are using common sense and ending this nonsense. At this point, any governments still trying to enforce them are clearly doing it for reasons other than health and safety.

  16. I would like to see this too. From what I can gather, the 2% reduction in gray matter was only in some cases, not all (but I haven’t been able to find out what that percentage was). Also, it’s unclear to me whether those studied had caught the earlier Covid variants or Omicron. I’ve had a slight pain above my eye since getting Covid which concerns me so I’d like to know more as well.
    24
  17.  @melbilla  There are plenty of us who understand, especially the insanity of parents vaccinating their kids for a virus they have next to no chance of getting sick from. I know what you mean though about the abuse. I follow the science as much as I can and some of the official "health advice" seems to be a direct contradiction but the sideways looks I get - and even aggression - when I bring that up with people makes me not want to talk about it. People have been brainwashed, I really believe that.

  22.  @SS-ub5qz  If you're not a troll then you're a brainwashed clown which is actually worse. But anyway, I'm not interested in fighting with you. What you need to understand is that this isn't an anti-vax protest, that's just a lazy way of dismissing why people are protesting - and probably indicates that you believe everything that the mainstream media is telling you rather than using your own brain. This protest is anti-mandate, there is a distinct difference. But if it's easier for you to just label everyone who is capable of thinking outside of the mainstream narrative as tin foil hat wearing idiots, then good luck and I hope that works out well for you.

  23. I had the same thing happen. My wife got Omicron and had mild symptoms for three days (one bad day with a migraine but otherwise nothing unlike a cold). I had no symptoms. Presumably we both picked up the virus and our immune systems dealt with it efficiently - as it's designed to do. I know one thing, I won't be rushing out to get a booster and I don't care who tells me I need it. Not gonna happen! Good on you for not succumbing to the fear mongering. I really believe this thing will end when people realise their fear is irrational response to media manipulation.

  24. This has happened at a local school near me in Australia so it's a global trend of absolute stupidity. In this case there were teenage kids identifying as cats and defecating on the school grounds rather than use the toilets. The solution that the teachers came up with was to put litter trays in the toilets to entice them. On one hand it's hilarious but also deeply worrying that it's come to this.

  39.  @jonmcdevitt the vast majority won’t have any issues. There’s a lot of fear mongering, especially with this crowd. The reality is people getting illnesses might be caused by Covid, might be the jab or it might just be because people do get sick regardless. Personally I stay away from boosters because I reacted badly to my 2nd jab and I’m not high risk. I think people should do what’s right for their own bodies and not pay too much attention to fear mongering on either side of the debate.

  40.  @DerekF-u7e  Most people are pro-vaccine because the data is pretty clear that they're the most effective way of keeping you out of hospital. Personally I would have preferred a safer option like a traditional protein-based vaccine but unfortunately that wasn't on offer. I don't think anyone should be forced into it though.

He now lives rent free in her head while she makes videos for her channel, mostly devoted to bringing him down. I actually think she's probably right in a lot of her criticisms - and I say that as someone who held JC in fairly high regard at one point - but her channel and her followers are super-toxic. It's basically one big mud-slinging fest, fueled by egotistic vax cultists, masquerading as a science channel.

  44.  @rajsra3842  Look, I'm really not interested in slanging matches. The point of this rally, which you think is a joke, is that it's against vaccine mandates. These mandates are causing massive disruptions to people's lives and at it's root they imply that bodily autonomy is no longer an individual choice. That might be a joke to you but for many people it's actually quite serious and something potentially quite dangerous - even for you if you pulled your head out of your arse long enough to realise it. What this protest represents is hope for people all around the world that there is power in numbers and governments are there to work for the people, not to control them with draconian rules that do more harm than good.

  49. Thanks for shining a light on this issue. Tassie already has a massive amount of existing plantation forests - it really does beggar belief why Will Hodgeman would want to claw back the relatively small amount that was allocated in the forest agreement when there is no demand for woodchips and in the process plunge Tasmania back into a forest war that has been going on for decades just when it seemed that finally there was light at the end of the tunnel. I can only assume it's part of the "Green is bad" mentality that was shoved down our throats during the leadup to the election. Good on you Will, you fucking wanker. I didn't vote for you.

  51.  @carmillamorgan3783  Maybe, I didn't hear that. Regardless, that wasn't their core purpose. I've watched interviews with the organizers who have spelled out their reasons and it was primarily to have their voices heard and to have vaccine mandates lifted. There was never any mention of overthrowing the government. And if they demanded that Trudeau resigns, that was likely in response to the fact that he called them racists and misogynists and then ran and hid rather than doing what a real leader would do - engage with them and find a solution. He should resign, he is a disgrace.

  53. Well it might have something to do with it being a new type of vaccine without very limited long term safety data vs what we do know - that the vast majority of kids will be very mildly effected by current strains of Covid. So yeah, that's why people are making a big deal about it. If it stopped transmission then ok, maybe it would make sense but it doesn't do that so there is simply no medical or scientific reason for it, it's just parents choosing to live in fear rather than look at it rationally. However, if you look at it in terms of profits for pharmaceutical companies, suddenly it makes much more sense.
    7
  54. Hmm that's a rather generous assessment. I'm not sure that her motivations are all that altruistic - there are plenty of people promoting anti-vax sentiments that she could make videos on and yet she seems weirdly fixated on John Campbell. Given that he turfed her off his channel, I think it's more likely that what she is actually compelled by is a sense of personal bitterness towards him.
    7
  55.  @Joem2648  She has a loyal band of followers who scout the comment forums looking for people to put down to feed their shallow egos - which she clearly encourages (and joins in on at times). And yes some of the people who comment are arguably trolls or conspiracy nuts looking for a slanging match but there are lots of people who simply have concerns with aspects of MRNA vaccine production and the way it was rolled out, etc. They are also targeted and insulted. You only have to look at the video titles and comments on any one of her videos to see the rampant toxicity. It's just a bit sad and pathetic really. If she wants to have a science channel, great - make it about science and leave all the condescending vitriol for people with differing opinions out of it. I would have a lot more respect for her if she did that.

  64.  @JB.99999  I object to you calling what I said fear mongering. It is a fact that there is no long term safety data. It is a fact that vaccinations do not prevent transmission. It is a fact that pharmaceutical companies are making obscene amounts of profits. It is also a fact that there is no sound scientific or medical reason to have children vaccinated against a virus that has a miniscule chance of doing them serious harm. But if you'd like to dispute any of that with actual data, please do.

Especially our "comedies". It hasn't always been this way. Australia produced some great comedies in the late 80s and early 90s.

This means, fairly obviously, that density isn't influencing their acceleration as density isn't a force, it's simply how compact a material is, and therefore doesn't account for the force - whatever you want to name it - that is pulling on these objects. Density and buoyancy as alternative an explanation for gravity is frankly childish and silly.

  81. I'm no doctor but if this new variant is replacing delta like they say and the likelihood is you'll get mild symptoms similar to a cold, I'd be seriously weighing up whether it's worth getting a vaccine for it, especially when there's no long term safety data on it.

As if any space agency is going to go to all that effort just to prove to a bunch of conspiracy idiots what’s been established fact for over 2000 years!

"start giving me 60 million dollars per day like NASA gets and I'll start putting together a working flat earth model for you guys" This excuse that flat earthers have about lack of funding is so lame. The reason you idiots can't come up with a working model is because your pancake theory is a stupid fantasy and anyone who bothers to make real life observations - such as the southern hemisphere stars for example - can see that the globe "theory" is clearly correct. "I'll end the 1959 Antarctic Treaty and we'll go there and have a look around." Why would you need to do that? The Antarctic Treaty doesn't prohibit exploration, it mainly prohibits environmental exploitation and military activity. I honestly don't think a single one of you morons has ever bothered to actually read it. Here's a simple idea - and strangely one that no flat earther seems willing to do despite there being nothing stopping them - go to Antarctica in January and prove that the midnight sun is a hoax and everyone who claims to have seen it is lying about it. If the Antarctic midnight sun exists then it should tell you that the flat earth model is very, very wrong. If you can prove it doesn't exist then maybe people will start taking you mental midgets seriously. Of course the sad truth is, it doesn't matter what evidence goes against flat earth, some dickhead flattard will just make some excuse for it and that will be accepted as fact. That's how it works right?

  128. No measurements? Practically every square inch of earth’s surface has been measured and those measurements only conform to a spherical shape. Until you idiots manage to come up with something resembling a working map then sorry but earth is a sphere and flat earthers will continue to be the dumbest people on the planet.

  130. If I told you that petrol isn't real and the oil industry is a scam to hide that fact that cars actually run on unicorn farts, would you celebrate that as different point of view that warrants serious discussion? It's all good and well and write essays on why we should take flat earthers seriously but their ideas are nonsense and trivially easy to debunk.

  131.  @baubljos103  nonsense is nonsense, that’s the point. You can label what I said with whatever fallacy you want, at the end of the day until flat earthers provide even a scrap of evidence to support their idiotic ideas- which they are patently unable to do - then there is no good reason to take them seriously.

  141.  @kye741  I wouldn't call myself an expert but I have a general interest in astronomy. You can learn about this stuff yourself if you want to. Even a basic knowledge of astronomy makes it fairly clear that flat earth is complete nonsense! Just the simple fact that two people standing a few thousand km apart will see the moon from the exact same phase an angle should be enough to tell you that it can't possibly be a local object like flat earthers say - and if they miss something as glaringly obvious as that, then chances are they're not worth paying any attention to!

  142. If he has $200,000 to give away then why doesn’t he do a trip to Antarctica and confirm or disprove that there is a midnight sun in January. If it exists (which it does) then that means flat earth is a load of shit. But I think we all know that idiot has no intention of parting with his money. Since when have flat earthers ever admitted to being wrong?

  143. Last year someone I’ve known for some time - and someone I’d considered a friend - went off on a rant at me for merely questioning whether mrna vaccines were safe given the lack of long term safety data. I thought it was a reasonable position (and still do) but It turns out he was a real vaccine zealot and proceeded to call me every name under the sun. I was really shocked and that was when I realised that we were now in a divided world and many people have bought into the idea that any discourse outside of the official narrative should be treated with contempt. I forgave the guy but I just think it’s really sad. We are all humans having a human experience in a world going mad - the division needs to end.

We have been hosting AFL matches for a few years now, as far as I'm aware the existing stadiums in Launceston and Hobart have done an amiable job of allowing these guys to kick their funny-shaped balls through the big sticks so why exactly do we need another stadium and why is this more important than all the tents popping up around the place because people can't afford rent or can't find a place to live?

Blue Claws yeah, I agree, it is entertaining ... but I dunno, I used to find all this flat earth stuff engaging but it’s been a few years now and none of them are saying anything new (not that they ever did).

  152.  @KangenAlec  That's all well and good apart from the small problem that the evidence for it being local is zero and flies in the face of observable reality. And also, do flat earthers really expect people to believe that their magical flying spot light sun manages to magically illuminate exactly one half of the world at any given moment? Wow, anything is possible in their fantasy world isn't it?

I often see my own kids as a litmus test for the state of the world. My son has started referring to everyone as "they" now because he says "it's just easier". Personally I would be offended if he referred to me as "they" - I guess that makes me transphobic now.

  158. The Saros cycle can predict the day of an eclipse. It can’t predict the exact time or, in the case of a full solar eclipse, what the path of totality will be. That can only be calculated with a knowledge of heliocentric orbital mechanics. The Earth’s circular shadow during a lunar eclipse also tells us that Earth is a sphere, not to mention that flat earthers still can’t explain how a lunar eclipse occurs, something that is trivially easy to explain by the heliocentric model.

  159. Well technically it wasn't doxxing which is probably why she got away with it. His home address was also his work address and this was publicly available information. For it to be classed as "doxxing" she would've needed to be divulging private information. For him to complain about being unsafe is disingenuous to say the least. If he was that concerned about his and his family's safety, maybe he shouldn't have continually harassed a youtuber with millions of subscribers! And before anyone says it wasn't harassment, it was criticism. No. It was harassment. If someone made a channel about you and populated it with videos all about how rubbish you were at your job, even if it was legitimate, I doubt you would see that as criticism.

  168. There was a flat earth debate about a year ago between a famous flat earther, Dave Murphy, and a scientist (may have been an astrophysicist, I can’t remember). Dave said all the usual flat earth crap we’ve all heard a thousand times but the science guy clearly wasn’t prepared for all the nonsense coming out of Dave’s mouth and stumbled his way through the debate - plus English wasn’t his first language to make it worse. So, of course, Dave won the debate easily and all the flatties took it as a win. Does that mean he was right? Hell no! Dave is a moron. But he was charismatic and well rehearsed with his flat earth bs.

  182. Ross Thatcher Simply put, there are two celestial poles which can easily verified mathematically to be pointing 180 degrees opposite from one another with two entirely distinct star fields rotating in opposite directions around each pole star. I'd say that's pretty conclusive proof. I could go on but I'd like to hear your grounds for refuting this well known fact before I entertain any of your other fantasies. There is actually no proof whatsoever that the Earth is flat, just a lot of denial and distrust of science with arguments based on incredulity rather than hard evidence (or just plain ignorance of scientific facts and a disregard for how those facts were ascertained). I'd say that's a pretty big problem for the flat earth movement. In order to be taken seriously you'd first have to present a model that actually comes close to matching what we can readily observe and can make reliable, repeatable predictions. No such model has surfaced and there is a very good reason for that.

  202. You're right it doesn't make a lot of difference to our daily lives what shape our planet is but to say "no 1 knows" isn't right and that's the point - we do know. The beauty of science is we can use it to tell us truths about the natural world that our senses alone can't. I think the reason a lot of people get up flat earthers isn't so much because they think Earth is flat, it's because they are willingly attempting to take a massive dump on centuries of scientific progress whilst providing no actual alternative theories that make any sense.

  211.  @MikeSmith-di7gb  "once you put enough water droplets together and form any body of water that's not in motion, it always lays flat anywhere on earth" Water is a liquid, it conforms to whatever force is being applied to it. Just because a large body of water might appear to be flat from close up, doesn't mean it is. "Why do I have hundreds of pictures and videos of clouds BEHIND the sun?" You don't. The sun, in case you haven't noticed, is quite bright. Cameras have difficulty processing that amount of exposure, hence the sun appears to be in front of the clouds. See, a little bit of reasoning is all it takes - you don't have to reach far flung conclusions about 500 year old conspiracies about hiding the true the distance to sun. "After all, everybody knows it's a ball, it's so ubiquitous, you have all of mainstream science on your side the proof should be laying around everywhere, now go find me some real proof" Yes, we live on a sphere. We've known that for over 2000 years. If you wanted to prove that to yourself beyond any reasonable doubt then you would. It's really not that hard. But let's me honest here, it wouldn't matter what proof gets thrown at you would it? You'd just ignore it like every other flat earther. "Believe this crap if you want but some of us have working brains." You've got a funny way of showing it.

  229.  @tbrown3356 if you want to navigate over long distances then yes, spherical coordinates are what are needed and is what’s used on a daily basis. As for the known distances on earth conforming to a sphere, I don’t need to prove it, its proven by millions of people travelling around the planet every day who can reliably verify that those measurements are correct. You flat earthers are always demanding proof aren’t you? But none of you seem to be able to prove your silly little space pizza fantasy is actually true. Funny that isn’t it? Like I said, when one of you absolute tools can demonstrate with verifiable data that known distances between two locations on earth can all work on a flat plane then maybe you’ll have a leg to stand on. But I think we all know that’s never going to happen.

  252.  @kye741  As others have pointed out, our current understanding of the heliocentric model (which is our generally accepted without any real doubt to be our physical reality) is that we should see the moon during the day during it's waning stages which is half of it's 29 day cycle. To answer your last couple of questions, in Australia you would see the same thing as you see in England, just at different times. So in other words if the moon is say a waning crescent and seen during the day in Australia, in England you would also see the same phase of the moon and, for all intents and purposes, the same angular distance from the sun.

  261. I very much doubt that the majority of people claiming to be flat earthers actually believe the earth is flat. My guess is it’s largely a troll movement. Also, those stats you bring up refer to one survey. I’d be interested to know how it was conducted (ie. how many responded, how the questions were posed, how widespread the respondents were geographically, etc.). Statistics can be misleading. For example if 99% of respondents were 99% sure that Earth was a globe, technically those 99% had some degree of doubt. See what I mean? I refuse to believe there are than many idiots in the world.

  313.  @luckyhaskins69  "I could build a small scale model to prove my theory that water ,here on this earth,will flow downhill until it is contained" But we're not talking about a small scale object are we so what you're saying is irrelevant. "the gullible masses are easily persuaded into saying "but we have a working model"...which is actually incorrect" It is a working model. Your opinion on that is irrelevant to the fact that it quite literally works. "you have a theoretical model,perhaps a reverse engineered mathmatical model, but a physical, working model of the sphere earth can not be built" Well of course you can't build a planet. That's not an argument. Science aims to understand the natural world through observation and collecting data to fit a hypothesis, it is not predicated on needing to recreate the thing being studied before it can be said to be truly understood. The heliocentric globe model correlates observable reality with our understanding of our position within our solar system and it's a working model that correlates precisely with the World Geodetic System which has many practical daily uses. Unless you can demonstrate that this isn't the case (which you can't) then anything you have to say is just meaningless waffle.

  320. Flat earthers are patted on the head and labelled as stupid, as you put it, because it’s trivially easy to debunk for someone with even a moderate level of intelligence. There is quite a long list of easily verifiable observations that clearly indicate that earth is not a giant snow globe. The evidence, when it’s looked at honestly, overwhelmingly indicates that earth is a tilted sphere orbiting the sun.

But as it is, their density / buoyancy nonsense falls very short of that.

  333. We’ve known earth is a globe for over 2000 years, that’s not exactly a new idea. Apart from the points already raised, if earth was flat we’d see all stars rotating around a single point which would be viewable from everywhere on earth. That’s not even remotely what we observe in reality - we have a two celestial poles, each only visible from either hemisphere - just as you would expect on a globe. I could go on but I’m sure you get the picture.

  342. It would be nice if Australians could believe anything Scott Morrison says but the truth is he is all talk and in my opinion an ineffectual leader. Originally he said vaccinations would be a choice and there would be no mandates. That didn't really pan out (ok, technically you have a choice if you're happy with being a social outcast and losing your job - some choice that is!). Then he was saying it's time for governments to back off - that was a couple of months back and we're still being told what to do by state governments. I've come to the conclusion that he just says what he thinks people want to hear - and with an election looming, it's obvious that this is a response to the fact that many Australians are opposed to mandates and segregation.

In the images you've linked the sun's rays are shown to be parallel for the sake of simplicity because for all intents and purposes they are as the sun is much larger than Earth. But because we're talking about the moon's shadow, the interplay of these angles has the effect of producing umbral and penumbral shadows.

  364. Øbi it has been overwhelmingly demonstrated that the whole “horizon rises to eye level” argument is false. And if an object has gone below the horizon, or is partially obscured, no amount of zooming in on it is going to bring it back into view. That’s just another flat earth lie.
    3
  365. Øbi so if that were the case then it would be trivially easy to prove - show a ship or whatever disappearing below the horizon and then zooming in on it and seeing it magically reappear. Despite the army of morons saying this happens, strangely no one has been able to demonstrate it. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that flat earthers are just lying idiots.

  371. Ross Thatcher The answer to your first question is that we do see different stars throughout the year but the amount depends on your proximity to either pole. The Earth's tilt remains the same throughout the year so if you are at either the north or south pole you won't see any difference to the night sky. On the equator there is a marked difference throughout each season. The change is variable depending on how close you are to the equator. The answer to your other question lies in the difference between a solar and sideral day. This information is easily accessible which is why in my first comment I just said they have already been explained. Don't get me wrong, it is a good question but it seems to me that you haven't actually taken the time to find out what the answer is.
    2
  372. Ross Thatcher Well Ross, you can believe what you want. However, in your original post you're suggesting that the points you raise are somehow inconsistent with the heliocentric globe model. They aren't. As I suspected you are just going to refute anything that goes against your flat earth belief (despite the total lack of proof for any of it) ... speaking of fictional nonsense!
    2
  373. Ross Thatcher By the way you know this video is making fun of flat eathers don't you? Probably if you want a serious debate this isn't the place for it but having said that, it's very difficult to take any flat earther seriously because you're all either trolls or just tapped in the head.
    2
  374. Ross Thatcher "It's a pretty poor premise to base all your proof on mathematics alone, when the proof required is that of viable, observable, ACTUAL, evidence." Maths is the best choice for ascertaining hard evidence. Our senses alone are very poor measuring tools. For instance you mention using a spirit level to check for curvature - a classic example of why using your senses is not necessarily going to give you a reliable conclusion because the Earth is too big to detect curvature at ground level. Whether you're into maths or not (and I'm going to take a stab and say that maths and science isn't your thing), using maths to make empirical measurements that can be retested and verified is the best weapon we have against the sort of guess-making and conjecture that is rampant among the flat earth movement. It's all very well to say science is religion and people put their faith in it blindly, but the fact is the scientific method has brought you modern medicine, global communication, air travel, even the computer you are using right now - all made possible through the rigours of the scientific method and the process of peer reviews. The proof is in the pudding. The flat earth movement has been around since the 1800's - how much has this belief contributed to advancements in technology? None - because it's all complete nonsense. "If the Earth is truly spinning, as you say, then how is it possible for stars in one hemisphere to spin one direction, and the opposite in the other? That's ridiculous and obviously something you've read in a book" It's not ridiculous, it's reality! It's actually not that hard to grasp. Here's a 180 degree timelapse of star trails from the Equator which, as you would expect on a globe, is the only place you can see both celestial poles : http://cseligman.com/text/sky/equatorlarge.htm On the right are stars spinning around Polaris - imagine them spinning anti-clockwise. Now keep imagining them spinning and look to left and you'll see that they would be spinning clockwise around the southern celestial pole star (Sigma Octantis). The question you need to ask yourself is how can they be spinning in the opposite direction around a separate pole star to the south on a flat plane? The standard flat earth model doesn't allow for this - there is no question at all about it, it's wrong! "...or made up, but is most definitely not something you've observed for yourself and able to speak of from experience" Actually I have observed this for myself. I live in the southern hemisphere and I've done a lot of star gazing and I can assure you the southern celestial pole exists. On any given night I can see the Southern Cross (Crux) rotating clockwise around it and anyone south of the equator can verify this. To refute this known fact because it goes against what you want to believe is just being stubborn and frankly childish! The big challenge for flat earthers is figuring out how there flat earth model can possibly accommodate this reality and so far no one has been able to. "All evidence points to the stars appearing to rotate around Polaris..." There is no evidence that points to this. "which means in the ball-earth model, the Sun itself is the centre of the entire universe" No one is saying the sun is at the center of the universe. "exactly as you lucifer-worshipers insist it should be" That's right, I'm a devil worshiper and every full moon I go out and drink the blood of a virgin. I love it. "on magical spinning ball-earth planet-sized objects, all obvious logical observable repeatable logical FACTS can be just ignored..." It would be nice if you people followed that and stopped ignoring facts. It makes you all look very silly.

  375. Ross Thatcher Nice work, completely avoiding my main points which disprove the flat earth theory. I know that's the common flat earth tactic so no surprises there. Lets try to stay on point. Firstly, the horizon: There is no reason why you would see the horizon curving away around from ground level, you need to get that idea out of your head because it's just wrong. The fact that we see a horizon proves that we live on a globe. The fact that we see ships and buildings dip below the horizon from a certain distance away also proves that we live on a globe. The flat earth idea that this is somehow due to perspective is totally unproven and not in accordance with any known perspective laws - my guess is someone just made that up because they couldn't come up with any other rational explanation. And please don't try to tell me that telescopes will bring things back over the horizon - that is completely untrue! So the flat earth movement can't sufficiently explain why things dip below the horizon without resorting to lies or making shit up. They can't even explain simple things like why the sun and moon go below the horizon and not disappear to a point as they should if their model was even close to being correct. It's funny how the use perspective to explain some things and then ignore perspective when it doesn't suit their needs - such as explaining why the sun and moon don't grow as they approach and shrink as they move away like they should if they're so small and close. So, putting all that aside, why is it that you can't see Mt Everest from anywhere on the globe? They say it's atmospheric distubance that obscures things from being seen - but the moon is said to be 3000 miles away and we can see that on the horizon ... how is this possible? Care to explain? So then you go on to mock what I've said about how the scientific method has brought us a wealth of technology and the flat earth movement has brought us precisely nothing by completely disregarding the obvious truth of that and jumping up and down about modern medicine, claiming satellites don't exist (just stupid, of course they fucking exist you nong, you can see them with your own eyes!), more jumping up and down about how computers bring warfare or something - look, I'm not trying to say that modern technology is good or bad. I'm saying that these things wouldn't exist if science had it all wrong like you people like to claim. The flat earth movement pretty much requires every field of science to be disregarded. Totally ridiculous. No wonder no one with any sense takes any of you seriously! Now as for your insistence that the "bigness" of the Earth is somehow a lie and is used as a kind of scapegoat to defend all the lies ... really? Really?? The dimensions of the Earth in this day and age are well known. Flight times are measured with precision from one continent to another and guess what, those measurements only work on a globe! Anyway, whatever mate. You believe what you want to believe. Commercial space flight is just around the corner - are you prepared to eat your words or will you still be clinging onto your fantasies?

  376. Ross Thatcher I think you're forgetting the the Qantas flight from Sydney to South America .. funny, you guys still haven't been able to explain that one. Oh yeah, I forgot, airline companies make dummy flights to fool people into thinking the Earth is a globe because ... reasons.

  377. Ross Thatcher "You obviously haven't done any research on this topic and stick to your lamestream popular indoctrinated beliefs. Those of us who HAVE done the research know better. " Oh I've done the "research", don't worry. I'm still yet to come across a single convincing argument that isn't completely retarded. By "research" you mean watching youtube videos? Hmm, because everything you see on the internet has to be true right?
    2
  378. Ross Thatcher Well someone has to do it. You say you're not out to refute anything but clearly you are. You've made your mind up that this flat earth thing is onto something and now you'll refuse to accept any evidence to the contrary. That's not being open to the truth - that's called being brainwashed. You began this thread by insinuating that science can't explain why, if we orbit around the sun, we don't see changing stars throughout the year and the simple fact is we do. Yet when given an explanation of that you dismissed it because apparently you know something that every other astronomer on Earth doesn't. That's delusional! And if you are going to make delusional remarks then people are going to call you out on it! My guess is if you spent as much time actually studying astronomy and the night sky as you do watching stupid videos on youtube, you wouldn't be making daft assertions.
    2
  379. I agree. Not saying there's a justification for it, it's wrong, unethical and a gross invasion of privacy - HOWEVER, famous celebrities pretty much waiver their rights to privacy (and get a handsome pay cheque as a consolation) so they must know the lengths people will go to to get their hands on this sort of thing.

  385.  @lovingtruth8157  It doesn't bother me that you personally choose to ignore intellectuals. Like I said, I'm not the thought police and you can believe what you want. What I do find disturbing is that there is a global trend towards science denialism and you are contributing to that by attempting to give archaic, outdated ideas legitimacy. It's nothing personal against you. It's like if my house gets infested by ants, I don't take a personal disliking to any one ant in particular but I'm still going to lay down some ant rid and try to alleviate the problem. Similarly, I think there is an onus upon people like myself with a science background (astronomy and computer science in my case) to defend the underlying principals of scientific thought against archaic and blatantly misleading ideas. You are the yin and I am the yang.

  392. Mate, I'm a recent subscriber and I've been really enjoying your back catalogue but I think you missed the mark with this one. This seems more like an opinion piece - and clearly your opinion is that you don't think he has any talent! Now that's fair enough and I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan but if I can say a couple of things. Firstly, humour is subjective. Ponderland was a great show and I personally thought it was very funny and found Russel to be a very engaging and entertaining presenter. Secondly, the titles of his videos (which you seem to be basing your analysis on, rather than the actual content), are intentionally over the top and designed to be click bait. I don't necessarily agree with that approach but what he talks about in his videos seem to be at least based in real life events and then he offers his own opinions. I wouldn't call him a conspiracy theorist per se but no doubt he does attract them. Thirdly, I don't think you have represented his work in drug rehabilitation (which is considerable) very fairly at all. As for the allegations, you do rightly point out that there is no way to ascertain the truth behind them in the absence of any evidence. However, it's not unfathomable that it was a coordinated attempt to silence or at the very least discredit him. It seems rather odd to me that a member of UK parliament was writing to several platforms like Youtube, Rumble, etc. with a letter clearly aimed at persuading them to demonetize him. Over mere allegations? That's a bit weird don't you think? I've never heard of anything like that happening before. Whether he is guilty or not, I have no idea. But supposedly the TV channel behind that documentary interviewed over a thousand women and only a handful came forward ... anonymously. How hard do you think it would be to find four or five women, unrestrained by any accountability, who are willing to stretch the truth a bit if they felt used, simply didn't like him or just wanted to create drama for whatever reason? Only time will tell if charges are laid and a court case occurs. Until then, he should be assumed innocent until proven guilty.

  394.  @KangenAlec  That's not what happened. There are no Antarctic Treaty military forces you absolute mong - if you actually bothered to read it you would find that the Antarctic Treaty specifically prohibits military activity. He was apprehended by the Norwegian government for breaking their Antarctic regulations, no doubt spurred on by his reckless behavior that led to the deaths of his crew mates.

  398. REMIGIO PEREIRA all your questions are rubbish and have been answered to death. The fact that you’re still asking them just goes to show that you aren’t interested in hearing the answers - which is a very common trait among flat earthers and people who say space is “fake” (whatever that means). Your original post is indeed a text book gish gallop.

  399. Well 1) they are vast distances away so the observable parallax is virtually imperceptible and 2) they are rotating with us around the galactic centre. There are a multitude of things about the way we observe stars that make no sense whatsoever on a flat earth but they don’t seem to focus on those things.

  412.  @simeonb3726  Unless you can cite a credible source that the camera was set up to shoot at 1:1 then you can't say they're fake based on the size of the moon in the image. You would also need to be able to prove the photo is at the original dimensions and hasn't been cropped in. It's very doubtful that you're going to be able to get that information but unless you have all these details, your comparison as you've stated in your original post cannot be applied.
    2
  413. Simeon B "There is a well known optical illusion (known as the moon illusion) where the moon looks larger than it is when it is close to the horizon" That only applies to how the moon appears to the naked eye - not relevant to what we're talking about. "there is no effect to make it appear comparatively smaller" ... apart from a wide angle lens. Like I said, unless you know how the lens was set up you can’t state with any certainty whether it’s fake or not based on how the large or small the moon appears so you’re wasting your time trying to argue your way out of it. Any rational person could see that what I'm saying is just a simple fact.

  417. GlobeKrusha "how do you test celestial poles? Through pictures on the net. Have you ever been to the Poles to actually verify such claim" It might be an idea to know what you're talking about before you start reeling off daft questions. A celestial pole is the point in the sky around which all stars appear to rotate. It's not a physical location on Earth. There are two celestial poles - one due north in the northern hemisphere, one due south in the southern hemisphere. This in itself is a very clear indication that the flat earth model - which has only one point of rotation - is obviously not a representation of reality. What Lyle is saying about the vertical height of each celestial pole matching your latitude mathematically only works on a globe. Whether you want to accept it or not, it proves that Earth is a sphere. By rights this should settle the debate but of course flat earthers are typically immune to any proof put before them and I imagine you will be no different. However, if you're open to it, this website explains it quite well : http://debunkingflatearth.blogspot.com/

  422. Flat earth is popular on YouTube and that’s about where it ends. What you need to realise is that scientists work in the real world studying real life problems. Putting flat earth in perspective, it’s trivially irrelevant to the vast majority of people and completely inconsequential in the scientific community. Beyond being a fun subject for people to argue about in YouTube comment sections, it really has no other purpose. Now you can think what you want about Neil Degrass Tyson, at the end of the day he is a media personality talking about science and flat earth is not a scientific subject.

And yet I see politicians spruiking the idea and parents panicking because they haven't been able to get their kids jabbed. It's insane. I questioned a friend of mine who was proudly posting pictures of her kids on Facebook after being injected about why she did it when there is no medical or scientific precedent for it (as politely as I could) and she said it was to protect the vulnerable and to protect against future variants. Neither of her reasons were based on any evidence that I can see. I can only assume parents do this either out of irrational fear or out of a desire to be seen to do the right thing.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that if all known distances on Earth only conform to a sphere then Earth ... is a sphere. It's that simple. You can dance around it as much as you like, you're not going to change that simple logical fact that proves you and every other flat earther wrong. The sad thing is that while you might get some gratification by sitting on your arse typing out your word salads and feeling like you're winning an argument, at the end of the day Earth is still a globe and you are just wasting your time on meaningless drivel that in years to come will be forgotten about. Is that really how you want to spend your time?

    2
  458. flacofuerte7 according to the giant space pizza model, the sun should change size quite dramatically. A solar filter will show beyond any doubt that no such change occurs, meaning that the sun isn’t close to us. No ifs, no buts, no bullshit about perspective or atmospheric lensing because some dumb fuck told you the atmosphere works like a giant fresnel lens. The simple fact is, the sun stays the same size and moves across the sky at a consistent rate of 15 degrees per hour because it’s far away and the earth is rotating.
    2
  459. The dimensions that you have given dictate that it would noticeably increase in size as it approaches then shrink as it moves away. This doesn't happen. End of story.
    2
  460. Videos recorded without a solar filter mean nothing. There is nothing you can say that will make you right about this. The fact that the sun remains the same size and traverses the sky at a consistent rate means the flat earth model is wrong. It's as simple as that.

  468.  @poldariser8686  I’m pretty sure “firmament” in the Bible has a different meaning to the one flat earthers talk about. And the Bible never specifically refers to earth as being a disk. If you want to take it literally, it describes earth as “God’s footstool” (whatever that means). Funny, I don’t see any footstool-earthers, no one seems to take that one literally ...
    2
  469.  @poldariser8686  if you want the truth, you only have to examine the facts of observable reality to see that earth can’t possibly be flat, that’s just pure stupidity. Have you heard of the southern celestial pole?
    2
  470.  @poldariser8686  a celestial pole is the point around which we see stars rotating, which astronomy tells us is the earth’s rotational axis. In the northern hemisphere Polaris sits pretty much bang on the northern celestial pole. So even though flat earthers can’t really agree on a model, they all agree that stars rotate around Polaris. Problem is this only works in the northern hemisphere. Everyone in the southern hemisphere sees the same thing happening in the opposite direction (ie. If they look south at night they see a different set of constellations rotating around the southern celestial pole). This simple observable fact tells us very clearly that flat earth is just a load of nonsense. There, you can stop investigating now. It’s not flat. You’re welcome.

  484.  @Lordani66  so one debate that never happened? Like I said, who has Eric debated? No one. And I know from personal experience that if you do challenge Eric he just blocks you from his channel. Look at the comments on any of his videos - do you not find it strange that this so called flat earth “king” only ever seems to have glowing reviews? Honestly, what an idiot! So much for debating! Chances are Eric doesn’t believe a single thing he says, he’s a con man who lacks any real intelligence but is smart enough to know there is an audience of paying customers who will swallow any old nonsense if it makes them feel special.
    2
  485.  @Lordani66  There have been too many people calling out to debate him to count and the record stands that Eric has responded to precisely ZERO of them. Sorry but your hero is a mental leprechaun.
    2
  486. Do you honestly think anyone cares what a bunch of science illiterate imbeciles think?
    2
  487. So what do you believe - other than “they” are lying? Which model is the right one? Seems to me that flat earthers saying “don’t know but it’s just not what we’ve been told” is a cop out to hide the fact that you can’t back up any of your beliefs with actual scientific data.

  489.  @tbrown3356  Why would I be angry when I’m right and you’re wrong? Navigation over long distances relies on spherical geometry. That’s just a fact. What I would love to see is a bunch of flat earthers loaded in to a boat and given the task of sailing around the world with the caveat that they couldn’t use any maps that are a globe projection (because clearly that would be based on a false premise) and they wouldn’t be allowed to use GPS - which shouldn’t be an issue because satellites don’t actually exist (lol). Of course we’ll never see that because the truth is, despite all of you demanding to see proof and experiments, none of you seem willing to actually do anything to substantiate your nonsense claims beyond posting links to dumb videos and expecting others to waste their time watching them. It’s pretty simple - come up with a working flat earth map or a model that adheres to observable reality and maybe you won’t be the laughing stock of the internet. I’ll wait ...
    2
  490.  @tbrown3356  by that you mean globe projections? Is there some part of that term that you don’t quite understand? No, navigation over long distances isn’t going to work if you don’t use global coordinates. Honestly, at this point you’re just arguing for the sake of it. There is no such thing as a working flat earth map, stop pretending that there is.

  492. Nunya Business science doesn’t work by proving anything, it aims to prove that a hypothesis is wrong. If it can’t be falsified then that hypothesis holds until eventually, after failing to be proven wrong through the rigours of peer review, it becomes a theory. As such, the “theory” that Earth is a globe - regardless of the fact that it’s been photographed and measured extensively - is considered a scientific fact. If you honestly think any flat earther has proven otherwise then you’re delusional. The flat earth theory, is actually not a theory at all, it’s a hypothesis and is trivially easy to prove wrong. The fact that we have two celestial poles for example is a clear demonstration of that and the list of ways to disprove it goes on and on. When you idiots come up with a working model of your space pizza which explains all observable phenomenon then - and only then - do you have a scientifically valid voice. Until then you will be ignored by the scientific community and laughed at by everyone else will IQs above 50.

  493. Nathan the evidence for Earth being a sphere orbiting the sun is abundant, so much so it’s not something that’s ever going to be seriously debated. This information is readily available to anyone who’s genuinely interested. But in my experience flat earthers aren’t actually interested in truth, they are mostly just attention seeking idiots who are best ignored. To think there are millions of people in the world today actively conspiring to keep Earth’s true shape hidden is just beyond stupid - and you expect flat earthers aren’t going to be ridiculed?

  500. If you take the time to study it, there is nothing about the way we view the moon that doesn’t work on a globe. It definitely doesn’t work on a flat earth though. For a start, if it was local and small like they claim, we’d see it from different angles and phases but that never happens - their entire belief system unravels from that one observation.

There are many so-called misinformation spreaders out there that she could be fact checking but she appears to have a weird fixation on John specifically. Her channel is a toxic cesspool vilifying anyone who even slightly questions any aspect of covid vaccines and she encourages spiteful comments from her little menagerie of sycophantic followers. I wouldn't have an issue with her if her "Back to the Science" channel was actually about science but it's not, it's clearly an ego-fueled revenge project against John Campbell for kicking her off his channel and an attempt to smear and belittle anyone who dares to question the mainstream covid narrative.

  509.  @jimygod  you don’t need to build a mile long swimming pool, you can just use common sense. Go to the beach and watch a boat sink below the horizon - there’s your evidence that water is curving. If that’s not enough, consider the fact that intercontinental navigation uses global geometry - and it works flawlessly - and so if 70% of Earth is water, then by extrapolation we can reliably conclude that it’s curved. Generally you would only do an experiment to prove something that isn’t blatantly obvious in the first place.
    2
  510.  @jimygod  Alright, well a ship is just one of many, many examples of how we know Earth is a globe. "All 4 corners will have a different level of water. This is something that cannot be disputed, if a heliocentric enthusiast and a Flat Earther work together on the project." But they would dispute it. The Earth's demonstrable sphericity is also something that cannot be logically disputed and yet here we are ... The thing with flat earthers is that no matter what evidence you throw at them they will find some way to dispute it, even if they have to make up their own laws of perspective and physics - which they do - or simply resort to lying - which they also do. Often. The simple fact is that if Earth was actually flat then this would be verifiable through simple observation of reality and measurements. The sun and moon would behave in a certain way. Stars would behave a certain way. Objects at a distance would appear a certain way. Distances between two points on Earth's surface would be a certain way. But when you do that, what you will find - beyond any shadow of a doubt - is that Earth is a sphere. I could list numerous ways that proves this but let's be realistic, you'd find some way to dispute it and I'd be wasting my time. So maybe let's just leave it at that.

  511.  @hi0u91e9  Generally it seems like JC omits relevant information that doesn't support his, let's say, anti-establishment predisposition. Susan has pointed out many examples of this, as have plenty of others. If it was once in a blue moon I might be inclined to put it down to an honest mistake but I can't help coming to the conclusion that he is pandering to his audience. I can't give you specific examples but they're out there if you take the time to look. So that's why I don't follow him anymore. During the height of the pandemic I found his calm approach a welcome respite from the hysterical fear mongering in the mainstream media. This was particularly evident during the emergence of Omicron, which John correctly reported as a less harmful variant while the mainstream media continued their frenzied alarmist approach. Unfortunately he seems to be following a less reasoned narrative now. That said, I personally find Susan grating and her followers are even worse. I've actually been banned from commenting on her channel for some reason, not sure why. I don't think she likes criticism very much. I think her channel is basically there to poke fun at and belittle anyone who questions Covid vaccines plus she clearly has an unhealthy fixation with John and I find all of that distasteful. For a channel that is supposedly about science, she should at least attempt to remain impartial. But whether I like her not, she has a right to express her views, as does John. But I think they should be seen as being at polar opposite ends of an issue and the truth is probably somewhere in between.

  512.  @MrSirhcsellor  I would add to that that a culture has developed of ignoring expertise in favour of opinion, not just with science but certainly science has suffered as a result. In a society where we want sound bites and quick information (the average tweet for instance is just 33 characters), long winded explanations tend to get overlooked even if they are factual.

  514.  @joedav67  you make a fair comparison I suppose although i think there is a reasonable expectation that someone who continually makes very unfunny comedy movies is going to cop some flack. Apparently Adam Sandler is a super nice guy but personally I find him about as funny as a fart in an elevator. I’m not actually a fan of SSSniperwolf by the way but I’m also not a fan of witch hunts. Putting aside what she might be like as a person, as far as how she makes money, I don’t see her really doing any harm. Whether it’s “stealing” is a bit of a gray area when it comes to reaction videos. The line between what is a meaningful and substantive reaction is blurry. Her reactions might be lazy and ethically she probably should credit the videos (although I don’t believe that’s an obligation) but at the end of the day she’s popular with kids for whatever reason. If she can make a tonne of money doing that then good on her. That’s not to say she should be immune from criticism but the way I see it, Jacks films was very intentionally targeting, bullying and harassing her. Now if he came out and said “you know what, I probably took that too far, my bad” then he’d have my sympathy. Everyone stuffs up, that’s human nature. But to cry to YouTube to try and have her deplatformed and make himself out to be a victim, I’m sorry but that just screams “I’m a massive p*ssy”.

  530. AreUawake you telling me to “piss off” if I can’t answer your question was your version of being polite was it? If you want to have a civil conversation then I’m happy to dial it back a notch but if you’re just here to draw attention to your channel then I’m really not interested.

  531. AreUawake I watched your video (probably against my better judgement). To be honest I really don’t get what you’re trying to say - maybe you can explain it to me here? I definitely didn’t see anything “globe destroying” in there.
    2
  532. AreUawake no, you’re a globe denier apparently - same coin, different side. Nah man, I gave your video the time of day and it made no sense. If you can’t make a point clearly then I’m not going to waste my time trying to decipher it. I’ve learned from bitter experience not to waste time over the nonsense spewed out by conspiracy nutcases. I’ve studied astronomy both as an amateur enthusiast and at university. Observations of the celestial sphere don’t conflict with the heliocentric model or the fact that we live on a globe. They just don’t. But if you want to believe idiotic conspiracy theories then you go right ahead.
    2
  533. AreUawake your video has some production values, I’ll give it that. I’m sorry if I’m coming across a bit harsh, it’s healthy to question scientific concepts but 99% of science deniers, or whatever you want to call them, are just woefully ignorant and totally uninterested in hearing any explanations if it conforms to the mainstream scientific narrative. To see this utter bollocks not only being spread around as “factual” by people who really have no idea what they’re talking about but to also see them being championed by other equally clueless individuals is disturbing to say the least.

  544. Why are you bringing up nonsense flattard arguments as if they haven’t already been answered thousands of times?
    2
  545.  @footprints2324  well, a) level (in the case of water) just means equally distant from the centre of earth’s mass. It doesn’t mean that water is flat. They are two different meanings. B) a plane and the atmosphere through which it travels are rotating with the earth. It’s the same principal when you jump in a moving train, the train doesn’t move under your feet because you are travelling with the train’s momentum And b) a ship can only see as far as earth’s curvature will allow.
    2
  546.  @footprints2324  "How can the Water in an Ocean curve along with the Curvature of earth. Water always stay in level and hence WATER LEVEL." That's fairly simple to answer - gravity. This can be observed quite easily by looking at planets like Jupiter through a decent telescope - even though that's a gas giant, it's the same principal. Gravity causes the gas to coalesce into a spherical shape. It's really not that difficult to see the effects of Earth's curvature. I was in the south east of Tasmania this week which is an area that has very high sea cliffs. I took a boat out to sea to witness the migration of the short-tailed shearwater and as we ventured further out you could literally see the coast line sinking below the horizon. "If atmospheres rotating with the Earth, then how do you expect the atmosphere to stay with the planet unless there is an outer covering. And how can plane catch up with 66600 miles per hour moving object and land with an accuracy. And also the spin which is around 11000." Basically friction between the air and Earth's surface causes the atmosphere to move with the Earth. There is no need for an outer covering nor has one ever been detected or observed. The "firmament" as flat earthers like to call it is just a fantasy. " A ship can be still seen with a powerful camera such as Nikon P1000, for miles and miles" A zoom lens, no matter how good it is, won't be able to resolve an object below Earth's horizon. It honestly baffles me that some people actually think this is possible. A zoom lens can resolve an object too small to be seen with the naked eye if it's close enough to not be below the horizon but if you zoom in on a ship for example that let's say has sunk half below the horizon, it will still be half sunk when you zoom on it, just bigger - it won't magically reemerge in full view. Flat earthers say that this happens but it doesn't, they are either knowingly lying about it or they are just repeating a falsehood out of gullibility.
    2
  547.  @footprints2324  I’m not seeing any videos but if it’s Eric Dubay I’m completely uninterested.
    2
  548.  @footprints2324  Well what you want to believe is up to you but I think you'll find that all the things you mention here have a valid scientific explanation if you look into it honestly. There are simple proofs that tell us beyond any reasonable doubt that Earth is a sphere - the southern celestial pole for example, or something as simple as intercontinental navigation which is calculated using great circle routes (ie. spherical geometry). It doesn't take a whole lot to figure out that flat earth is complete nonsense! It has no foundation in reality, it basically amounts to people saying "I don't believe that's possible so it must be fake". You'll notice that flat earthers devote all their energy into trying to tear down mainstream science rather than explaining how their model is correct - because if you ask them to explain the numerous ways in which their model fails to match observable reality they have no answers. I don't know how sincere you are but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. It only takes one verifiable observation to conclude that a hypothesis is wrong and can therefore be dismissed. In this case, take the fact that anyone in the southern hemisphere who looks south at night will see the same constellations rotating around the southern celestial pole. Look at any flat earth model and you'll see straight away that they should all be looking in different directions. So therefore it's wrong. No further investigation required - it's just wrong, end of story. Ask any flat earther to explain this and without fail they will make some excuse why they don't need to answer this question and change the subject. Every. Single. Time!
    2
  549.  @footprints2324  simple, verifiable astronomical observations tell us quite plainly that Earth is a sphere so whatever inferences are made to the contrary by looking at air travel or anything else must be based on faulty reasoning and is therefore not worth investigating. So no, I’m not really interested thanks.
    2
  550.  @footprints2324  a plane tilts 1 degree every 111km, hardly something a pilot is going to be consciously aware of. Simple astronomical observations include Polaris going below the horizon south of the equator, the fact that we have two celestial poles, the fact that anyone in the Southern Hemisphere who looks south at night will see the same stars rotating around the southern celestial pole, just to name a few. If flat earthers can’t provide a model that explains this logically when the existing model explains them perfectly, then it’s obvious nonsense.
    2
  551.  @footprints2324  Earth’s circumference is 40075km. Divide that by 360 you get roughly 111.3km (69 miles). Another way this can be tested is that as you travel north or south each pole star (depending on which hemisphere you’re in) will drop by 1 degree every 111km that you travel. This is mathematical proof that Earth is a sphere. This wouldn’t happen if we were standing on a flat plane. By the way, that last video you linked - you know that’s a joke channel right?
    2
  552.  @footprints2324  he’s making fun of flat earthers. It’s not meant to be facts and data!
    2
  553.  @footprints2324  I’ll refer back to what I said before, there are simple, irrefutable proofs (some of which I’ve already listed) that Earth is a sphere so any claims to the contrary are going to be based on faulty logic. A guy sitting in front of flat earth map (which itself can be overwhelmingly demonstrated to be wrong) talking about planes is 100% guaranteed to be nonsense.

  554.  @footprints2324  yeah but nah ...

  568. It is. It’s also pretty east to debunk so probably not worth spending a lot of time being open minded on.
    2
  569.  @raypeery6317  The existence of the Southern Celestial Pole, seen by every person in the Southern Hemisphere if they take the time to look, remains unexplained by flat earthers - because it shouldn't be possible if Earth is flat. There - debunked. See how easy that was?
    2
  570. Well it’s hardly a surprise. The amount of people I’ve heard about, some of them I know personally, who’ve had horrible reactions made me think right away that this “completely safe” vaccine was potentially dangerous for some people. And yet when I dared to suggest that it’s safety was questionable I’d get sideways glances or even open hostility. So I just shut up about it, probably like many others.
    2
  571. And yet none of you geniuses can present the slightest bit of evidence proving this is fake. Isn't that weird?

  586. MinnesotaFlats it’s well known that the flat earth model is laughably inaccurate. Any flat earther who’s pressured into explaining how anything works on the space pizza model will very quickly try to change the subject. Why is that do you think? So how can you possibly compare the two models when one side doesn’t have one that even works?

    2
  590. Have you considered the possibility that you don’t understand what level actually means?
    2
  591.  @pauladams5083  it actually has multiple meanings depending on its context. In simplistic terms, yes it just means horizontal. In a wider context it can mean various different things. Look up the definition of sea level and you’ll get a variety of definitions. Earth’s curvature is rarely taken into account for most practical purposes. You do realise that our planet is quite large don’t you? But there are a instances where it becomes a factor - very large bridges for examples. Besides, if earth was flat then why do we see large objects sink below the horizon the further we get away from them? It seems like a fairly obvious sign that we live on a spherical planet. Otherwise logically we would see them disappear to a point. I’ve never heard a rational counter argument from flat earthers for that.
    2
  592.  @pauladams5083  Sorry but I'm not going to watch any video made by that idiot. If you believe anything that Phuket Word says then you are a true imbecile. "To say surveyors account for the curvature of the Earth is a lie." Ever heard of geodetic surveying? You might want to look it up. Look, it's not that hard to determine that Earth is a sphere. The fact that we have two celestial poles is a clear indication that the flat earth theory is a massive load of bollocks. Until a flat earth model can account for this observable reality - which, of course, will never happen given that it is counterintuitive to the whole concept - then Earth is a sphere. Get over it!
    2
  593. Show me a flat earth model that explains why everyone in the southern hemisphere who looks south at night sees the same star constellations rotating around a point due south, no matter what continent they're on, then I'll be interested in what you've got to offer.
    2
  594.  @pauladams5083  For calling you an imbecile? Well I apologize if I caused offence but seriously, Phuket Word?? Come on man, the guy is an utter moron! But if ending this discussion because you're unable to respond to my last point is what you need to do to conveniently bow out then so be it. I totally understand that it's something you're never going to be able to give a rational explanation for.
    2
  595. I think you're missing the point. Of course they have a right to speak their minds, it's the arrogance in thinking that ordinary people care about their opinions.

  609. Coffin Man yes his videos would be remarkable if it wasn’t for the fact that he misidentifies land marks. So your 1200 miles is based on faulty information. But hey, if you want to believe complete nonsense then good for you - don’t let me stop you from being an idiot.

  610. Well firstly you don't have to see Earth from space to ascertain it's shape. To name just one method, Earth has been measured in it's entirety as evidenced by the proliferation of international travel and those known distances will only conform a sphere. This is something anyone can check for themselves. There are other methods as well but that is probably the most obvious one. As for whether we have been to space - this evidence you speak of, are you sure it's evidence or just people speculating? If you're going to confidently assert that it's a lie then you need some pretty solid proof to back that up and personally I've never seen anything even remotely resembling that.

  611. Zooming in on a ship that’s below the horizon won’t bring it back into view. That’s just a load of flat earth horse shit that no one with a brain believes.
    2
  612.  @dustinjames7490  if a ship has gone below the horizon, no amount of zooming in on it is magically going to make it reappear. Exactly how stupid do you need to be to think that’s true?
    2
  613.  @dustinjames7490  is that right? So why has no one ever filmed this then? Should be fairly easy to prove if it were true. But it’s not - which is why no such footage exists. You’re just repeating flattard lies.
    2
  614.  @dustinjames7490  oh right, so “they” are suppressing the truth. Of course they are! Not that you’re just making things up or anything ...
    2
  615.  @dustinjames7490  I’m not saying governments don’t suppress truth but using that to prop up the complete lack of evidence regarding your lies about zooming in on ships is laughably pathetic. So much so that I can’t take you seriously. The simple fact is if there were any truth to it it could be very easily demonstrated by anyone, even flattards with their almighty Nikon P900s! But despite this ludicrous claim being repeated as nauseam by flat earth f$&ktards, there remains to this day zero evidence that this actually happens. And why is that? Because it’s a load of horse shit - and I think you know this full well.
    2
  616.  @dustinjames7490  the total absence of evidence speaks volumes. Like all flattard claims it’s just repetition of complete nonsense and excuses being made when asked to provide evidence. Nothing new to see here, just the same old shit.
    2
  617. Look kids, it's another idiot
    2
  618.  @KangenAlec  so according to you, for 500 years millions of people who would need to be in on this lie have been paid off to keep it a secret (for no justifiable reason). The number of people colluding to keep this a secret would have exploded in the last 100 years, including but not limited to, professional and amateur astronomers, cartographers, many people working in the airline industry, many people working in the maritime industry, etc. By believing earth is flat, you must also believe that every airline pilot, travelling sufficient distances, at some point will realise that earth is actually flat and before they can tell anyone they get tapped on the shoulder by the mysterious “them” and told to keep it a secret. If you honestly believe that then there is little hope for you.
    2
  619.  @dluvv19761  Our explanations are based on what's observed. We are able to judge the distance to some of the closer stars based on slight differences in parallax by taking measurements at opposite positions in Earth's orbital cycle. Even then, the difference is very small, almost undetectable, due to the extreme distances. The stars we see in the night sky are also travelling with our own solar system around the galactic center - so there is a reason why their movement from year to year is so minutely small. The flat earth explanation of the stars - that they are close by and spinning around with this dome (which no one has ever seen or even detected the presence of) - does not reflect real life observations in any way shape or form.

  624. There are already satellites taking pictures of earth from space. Let’s be honest, if they did put a camera on the moon conspiracy theorists would invent some reason why it was faked - so why would anyone bother going to all that trouble and expense just to prove to a bunch of morons that Earth is a sphere?

  626.  @rurang_ii  you won’t get answers from that twit, he goes onto this video and writes the same things every day. Flat earthers are predominantly trolls, they don’t actually believe that earth is flat. The few that do believe it most likely have a few screws loose. Their beliefs aren’t based on facts or evidence, they have an emotional connection to the flat earth movement, probably because they are lonely and it gives them a sense of belonging or it validates their deeply held anti-government paranoia.
    2
  627.  @KangenAlec  this is trivially easy to disprove. If any of that bollocks were true then this magical flying sun would need to considerably speed up over the Southern Hemisphere summer but in reality the sun always appears to move at the same speed - 15 degrees per hour - no matter where or when it is measured.
    2
  628.  @tw3f4tes52  It's not an explanation - they don't have an answer for why southern hemisphere stars rotate around a point to the south so all they can do is try to dazzle you with bullshit and hope you don't notice.
    2
  629. Don Corleone well yes you are telling lies. Whether knowingly or not, you are. You can see Polaris for a few degrees latitude south of the equator if you gain altitude but eventually it goes below the horizon. I often hear flat earthers claiming that it can be seen from the Tropic if Capricorn - that’s all good and well but if there is no documented evidence of this then it can be dismissed as bullshit. Which is what I’m doing here. I’m saying you’re a bullshitter. The existence of the southern celestial pole very much eliminated any possibility of your fantasy space pizza being reality. Just saying it works or I haven’t looked into it is really quite pathetic. On your fantasy model you have all stars rotating around Polaris over the North Pole. Is this not the case? So how can everyone below the equator see stars rotating around a different point to the south? Which flat earth model explains this?
    2
  630.  @KangenAlec  how convenient that it only appears at the exact same time that orbital mechanics predicts the moon will cross in front of the the sun but remains undetectable at any other time. What an extraordinary coincidence! Some might say it’s almost magical! Or maybe you’re a complete moron ...
    2
  631.  @KangenAlec  so you keep claiming but despite repeated requests you’ve shown no ability to back that up with any evidence. Conclusion : you’re full of it.

  632.  @MikeBlackbird  So you gonna answer any of those questions or just resort to the old "do your research" line that all flat earthers resort to when put in a corner?

  650. The same could be said for any latitude either side of the equator, doesn’t have to be 45 degrees, so long as they are roughly the same coordinates then the flight times will be roughly the same on a globe earth, becoming exponentially further as you move away from the equator. A good example is Atlanta to Los Angeles vs Sydney to Perth, all sitting around 33 degrees. Yes, you are absolutely right. However I have tried making this point many times only to be met with attempts to change the subject or just crickets.

I'm glad to hear some one actually did it with predicable results.

  669.  @kurts6278  by the way a couple of my comments have been deleted by YouTube’s ridiculous censorship algorithm but you get the gist.
    2
  670.  @kurts6278  yeah I can see that you’re a reasonable person and I have felt for a long time now that rational discourse should be encouraged on both sides, rather than just shutting people down and labeling them conspiracy theorists if they don’t go along with the mainstream narrative. There’s a lot of things to do with the vaccine rollouts that to me, and to many others (including Dr Campbell it would seem) simply don’t make sense. And I’m firmly of the belief that the response has less to do with health than it does about massive profits being made by pharmaceutical companies in collusion with governments interfering with bodily autonomy and mainstream media inducing a climate of fear and compliance. It’s only in those terms that things start to add up. If that makes me a conspiracy theorist then so be it.
    2
  671.  @kurts6278  Looking at it rationally, I think they are safe enough for most people, at least short term. But there is a risk and most of us have heard stories about people getting horrible side effects. I personally know someone who got a booster and has since suffered from extreme fatigue and loss of motor-function in her arms. This has been going on for over a month since her injection. I know of another case of a young girl here where I live who acquired ticks and can't control the movement in her arms ever since getting vaccinated. Doctors are at a loss to know how to help her. I know of several other cases, enough to make me think that this is not entirely uncommon even though it would appear to be taboo for mainstream media to talk about. This stuff isn't normal, you don't hear about this sort of thing happening with other vaccines! Maybe it's because so many more people are getting them that the number of people with side effects goes up as a result, but still it's clear that for some people they aren't particularly safe. And that's not mentioning the known instances of heart problems. And long term effects of repeated doses - who knows what that might be doing? No one does because the studies haven't been made, we just cross our fingers and hope for the best. And putting faith in pharmaceutical companies who are clearly all about profits .. only a fool would think they have the health and well being of humanity at their core. Again, I don't have a problem with vaccines or any person choosing to get one if they feel they are at significant risk of serious symptomatic illness but given the risks of complications, however small they might be, forcing it on people who don't want it is just plain wrong and honestly it amazes me how many people are so accepting of it. I really think fear has hypnotized many people into a state of irrational compliance and I think it's sad that this happened so rapidly, even sadder that some people have been so eager to attack others just for wanting to make their own decisions. Edit : I'm not accusing you of attacking others but I've seen that behavior from many others, even someone who I once considered a friend.

    2
  676.  @luckyhaskins69  except if has been done - but naturally flat earthers reject every bit of evidence as fake even though not one of them can explain what their process is for arriving at that conclusion beyond “I don’t want to believe that so it’s fake”.
    2
  677. Unfortunately your “overwhelming evidence” is just you being gullible and believing whatever you’re told. Even if the Bible did say Earth was flat (which it doesn’t) why would you use a 2000 year old book as a science manual. If your car stops working would you take it to a mechanic or would you consult the Bible to see what it might have to say on the matter?

  678. iB McFly you’re an idiot. Why can’t I see Polaris from Australia?

  679. iB McFly um yeah, the app on her phone is not giving her correct information. She even says in the video comments that she is facing south - how can someone face south and see Polaris?? Obviously she is seeing the southern celestial pole and doesn’t have a f$&king clue what she is talking about - a bit like you. If this is what you call “research” then I feel bad for you.
    2
  680.  @nimmerkaur5370  personally I doubt many of them actually believe earth is flat. It’s largely a troll movement. And those that do believe it either have a few screws loose or are just monumentally ignorant of basic science.

  685.  @eJuniorA2  I think the difference is that astrology seems relatively harmless and few people take it seriously and also there isn’t a huge online debate around it (if you really call flat earth a “debate”) so it’s influence is relatively small. And also, flat earthers are typically quite arrogant and vocal (the worst kind of stupid), I haven’t seen astrologers loudly proclaiming that everything you believe is a lie and science is the devil!

  689. As far as the “medical procedure that shall not be named” goes, I certainly don’t think they are as safe as we were told, nor do they appear to really be doing anything. Yet now they’re trying to con parents into giving it to toddlers. It’s absolutely insane. But whether they are causing excess deaths, that’s inconclusive. However you shouldn’t underestimate the impact of stress and anxiety on the global population.
    2
  690.  @thewolfman751  "so why can we make observations further than what we should be able to" That's a questionable claim. I've seen many videos supposedly showing this and what you will almost always find is that they've used a simplified curvature calculator, they haven't taken atmospheric refraction into account and the measurements for distance and viewing height are vague or just not mentioned. All these things come into play if you're going to make a genuinely scientific evaluation of an observation. A better question would be, if the Earth is flat, why can't we see entire mountains 100's of kilometers away at sea level? Why do we see large objects dip below the horizon as they get further away? "The 'flat earth' model was misrepresented in the video, you can at least agree that her opening argument was a strawman" I would agree that most flat earthers don't believe Earth is accelerating upwards but her video was more about why the philosophy of zetetic astronomy is flawed so I wouldn't call it a straw man argument. If the video was purely about flat earthers' explanation for gravity then yes, it would fall under the definition of a straw man argument. As it stands, the upwards acceleration of Earth as claimed by the flat earth society is a very minor side note in the overall presentation.
    2
  691.  @thewolfman751  flat earth isn’t gaining popularity. It exists largely as a subject of ridicule on debunking channels. The only reason it’s still being talked about is because people are fascinated by how idiotic some people can be.
    2
  692.  @UntamableFreeman  " Take a photo of the sky above your head. 6 months later take a photo of the exact same area above your head. If we are going around the Sun once a year like you claim, 6 months later you should see different stars" Yes and this is exactly what happens - with equatorial stars, circumpolar stars remain fixed - exactly what the heliocentric model predicts ... so your point is? "The Michelson-Morley experiment set out to prove the movement of the earth" No it didn't "but in fact proved the opposite" No it didn't. Ok, so in short you know nothing about astronomy and everything you know about classic scientific experiments is what you've learned from flat earth videos. I have better things to do than try to drum sense into a mental leprechaun. I think we're done here.
    2
  693.  @UntamableFreeman  it’s an acceptable response because you are talking shit. The Michelson Morley experiment was not trying to prove the earth was spinning, nor did it ever prove otherwise. If you had the first idea what you were talking about then you would already know this but it’s quite obvious that you don’t know anything beyond what an idiot flat earther has told you on some moronic YouTube video.
    2
  694.  @UntamableFreeman  you took a quote out of context and you were called out for it. If you had a shred of integrity you would admit that. What’s worse is you’ve just repeated something you’ve heard from another flat earther because you’re incapable of forming any original thoughts of your own. And the saddest thing is, despite the fact that you’ve been completely owned in this thread, you will disregard it and continue to go on repeating the same drivel to other people. If you were actually interested in genuine knowledge you would show some humility and accept that you were wrong.

The Blue Marble image was composed of strips of near earth orbit images stitched together but there are geostationary satellites further out capturing entire disk images. What would be the advantage of putting a camera on the moon? Just to prove a point to a bunch of science-illiterate twat droppings that are going to call it fake anyway? What's the point of that exactly? Unless there was a considerable scientific benefit to doing this (and there isn't) then it's just a waste of time and resources. The only one waffling here is you. Why are you so dumb? Answer that.

  702. Erik Bakker Yes, that's true but when the sun re-emerges your eyes aren't adjusted for high amounts of bright light and you can easily damage your eyes if you're not careful. However, they're your eyes, do what you like, just be careful.
    2
  703. Yeah .. I don't know about that. They don't show a great deal of respect for other scientists or anyone who agrees with scientific consensus. I don't have an issue with anyone who is genuinely curious and wants to think outside the box, but flat earthers don't fit that category. My personal take on it is they are just contrarians looking for something to argue about and make themselves feel better about their educational failures.

Is there a problem there? Oh hang on, yes there is a problem - according to the magical space pizza theory lunar eclipses shouldn't happen. That's right, I forgot, flat earthers haven't figured out an explanation for that one!

  719. Putting aside the flagrant disrespect you are showing these people's families, this conspiracy theory that there was no one on board is easily dismissed as nonsense. As this video demonstrates, they all have traceable back stories, as do their doppelgangers that are touted as being the same people - and they clearly don't match. But even more ridiculous is the idea that seven of the most famous people on Earth would be able to continue living on in prominent public roles without anyone, including their families, batting an eyelid. Maybe you should grow up hey?

If you think about the process required for your reply to this comment to appear on my feed, the numbers involved would seem similarly staggering - and to anyone fifty years ago it would indeed be unbelievable - and yet here we are.

  723. Which part of the Antarctic Treaty mentions this? You seem to be an expert so I assume you’ve read it? What evidence do you have for these alleged military forces?

  730. Mike Blackbird still trying to change the subject to sticks and shadows? Why is that Mike? You’re not scared are you?
    2
  731. Mike Blackbird New York to Tokyo (6,736 miles) takes roughly the same amount of time by air as Sydney to Santiago (7,046 miles). Which flat earth model explains this? Try to not change the subject to stick and shadows if you can.
    2
  732.  @theflatouttruth6499  it is both wrong and extremely stupid. Any thoughts to the contrary is an indication of extreme delusional thinking.
    2
  733.  @theflatouttruth6499  there is no evidence for it. If the flat earth model was reality then it would be self evident through observation. Unfortunately for flat earthers the opposite is true. What’s even sadder is that this is so obvious that even a child can grasp why it’s wrong which begs the question why grown adults peddle this absolute nonsense. Personally I don’t think many of you actually believe it, you just do it for attention - although admittedly I only think that because I’m clinging on to the hope that people can’t possible by that woefully ignorant . For example, if two people standing a few thousand kilometres apart view the moon at the same time they will see it, for all intents and purposes, from the exact same angle and phase. Clearly if it was as close as you deranged imbeciles say it is then this would be impossible. And yet there it is, in plain sight proving that your idiotic “thinking man’s theory” is completely wrong. Like I said, this is a concept that’s so obvious even a child could comprehend it and yet here you are, claiming your imaginary pizza world with its magical perspective-and-physics-defying sun and moon is meant to be a fact! So are you just pretending to be an idiot or are you actually an idiot? Because it’s one or the other.
    2
  734.  @theflatouttruth6499  which one of your videos explains what I said about the moon? I don’t see it there. Maybe you could just explain it rather than trying to direct me to your channel. Or you could just be honest and admit that you can’t. Here’s another one - in reality two observers standing on two different continents in the Southern Hemisphere can both look due south and see the exact same constellations rotating around the southern celestial pole. This is simply explained by the fact that we live on a globe - it remains completely unexplained by flat earthers. And yet it’s a verifiable, daily reality. So let’s see how you avoid answering that.
    2
  735.  @theflatouttruth6499  yes, none of them are relevant. Please respond to the points I’ve raised.

  736. Well you go ahead and design a rover capable of live streaming from 200 million kms away. Why not live stream in 3D? Shouldn’t be too difficult.

  739.  @efil4zaggin743  Pretty sure she did that - or at least had enough interactions for him to know it was bothering her. I look at this from a neutral point of view - I'm not a fan of either Youtuber but I'm not the only one to point out that he was clearly harassing her. It wasn't just critique, it was quite a bit more than that. So I don't think she should have turned up to his house - that was weird - but I don't think we should turn a blind eye to the fact that he was cyber bullying her either.

  740.  @KangenAlec  that’s not proof, that’s just you saying NASA.

  742.  @luckyhaskins69  regardless of what cherry-picked bastardisation of history has led you to that conclusion, he was still a con artist.
    2
  743.  @luckyhaskins69  flat earth hero offered a large amount of money (100 grand from memory) for anyone that could produce flight charts that proved a globe within certain parameters that he laid out. His challenge was taken up and overwhelmingly met by an experienced pilot. He, of course, kept changing the goal posts and never received a cent - probably on the account that it would have eaten into that idiot’s meth fund. Offering large sums of money with no intention of parting with it and then claiming it as a victory is one thing. But why is it that not one single flat earther is willing to prove their “model” is correct? Why have none of them gone to Antarctica in the summer months to witness the midnight sun (or prove that it doesn’t exist as the case may be)? It does exist of course, as hundreds of thousands of people can testify, and it overwhelmingly disproves the flat earth model. Still waiting for one single flat earther to actually try and show evidence that they’re model is correct. Almost seems like it’s too much to ask doesn’t it?
    2
  744.  @luckyhaskins69  You're just waffling on at this point.

  745. I’d recommend watching the Joe Rogan episode with the palaeontologist where they dissect one of Eric’s videos about dinosaurs. The guy swears a lot and some people might not appreciate that but it highlights the result of Eric’s lies going up against someone who has actual expertise in a field of knowledge.

  746. If it was simply a matter of facts then the debate, if you can call it that, was over before it began.

  748.  @flookd5516  I can’t believe this guy is still making multiple comments on this video every day. Kinda hope it’s a bot, otherwise that’s just truly sad.

  752. Matthew Poole you see those two planets either side of sunset or sunrise, just as you would expect. As for “NASA faking everything”, just because you saw it on a YouTube video doesn’t mean it’s true. All those “space is fake” videos are beyond stupid. Just idiotic, speculative nonsense.

  754. How far you have fallen Ms Adern. You were beloved by so many, now you are reviled for selling your country out.
    2
  755. A true proponent of the scientific method understands that science isn’t about proof, it’s about collecting the available evidence to arrive at a conclusion and then trying to disprove it. If it can’t be disproven after peer reviewed attempts then it advances to a theory. As such there is overwhelming evidence that we live on a sphere. I have to laugh at flat earthers who say they are using “real science” when their model is so trivially easy to falsify.

    2
  759.  @captainmeow2771  you don’t need to look any further than the sun and moon. The simple fact that the sun doesn’t alter in its apparent size throughout the day is clear evidence that it’s not a small, local object whizzing around above our heads. Or the fact that two observers standing thousands of kms apart will see the moon from pretty much the exact same angle. These are two simple observations that show that the flat earth model is clearly wrong. As for the earth’s shape, observations of the stars from different latitudes demonstrate conclusively that earth is a sphere, none more obvious than the fact that we have two celestial poles, something that flat earthers still have to ignore as if it’s a trivial inconvenience. But probably the simplest and most obvious proof is simply by looking at known distances between any two points on earth which will only conform to a sphere - especially when you look at distances in the Southern Hemisphere. If this isn’t enough evidence for you then you are probably just not being honest in your search for truth.

  760. The thing is with the Spanish Flu and even other diseases we had fairly recently, people back then were used to people dying. If you made it to old age then you were lucky. Now it’s expected. We’re just not used to being afraid of these sorts of things.
    2
  761. Flat earthers will die by their own sword - that sword being the complete lack of any practical application for any of their nonsense claims. In the coming years it’s going to become painfully and embarrassingly obvious that they are unable to produce anything of value.
    2
  762.  @jabraun00  yes it will be interesting to see. That's if any charges actually get laid. At the moment it's just mainstream media pushing a story in an attempt to slander someone and really that's how it should be viewed, not as a foregone conclusion of guilt. Interesting though that a member of UK parliament would be contacting various platforms to get him demonetized over unproven allegations, isn't it? Smells awfully ratty to me.
    2
  763. You do know it’s spelt with a C don’t you?
    2
  764.  @KangenAlec  so how does your flat earth “science” explain the fact that we have two celestial poles?
    2
  765. Just some very small minded people who will no doubt achieve very little. I agree, this is an astounding achievement and should be celebrated!
    2
  766.  @reeyonarya1522  We have already measured earth in it's entirety - this data is used every day for navigation. We know it's a sphere, there is no doubt about that. Don't be a dumb dumb and accept reality.
    2
  767.  @reeyonarya1522  and?
    2
  768. Or it could be something to do with the overwhelming evidence of it being a sphere vs the complete absence of evidence for it being flat.

  771. I don’t know, I tend to think the majority of so-called flat earthers don’t actually believe it, they just just enjoy pissing people off (ie. they are trolls) or they have something to gain by pretending (financial gain, notoriety, attention, etc.). I suspect true believers are very much in a minority and consist of people who have a few screws loose or are just plain uneducated.

  772. I still haven't slept Oh no You want to see a picture of Earth from space? There are thousands of them. There are these things called search engines - type in “photo of earth from space” and prepare to be amazed. Or are you really that lazy that you need others to do this for you?

  777.  @Soli_Deo_Gloria_.  you asked "We can go to Mars but lost the knowledge and technology to go to the moon?". You understand that the Apollo missions were the combined effort of over 20,000 contractors? So post-Apollo the ability to connect all those individual pieces were scattered with no reason to retain that information. The technology itself wasn't lost, it was gradually replaced by superior technology. So your original comment is implying that if the pool of knowledge required to go the moon was "lost" then it can't be possible to go to Mars - which, as hopefully you can now see, is a rather simplistic and incorrect way for seeing it. I hope that helps.

  780.  @KangenAlec  you say the sun is currently orbiting over Australia and Sth America in which case it would need to travel faster to make its daily orbit. What powers this acceleration and how does the sun know to slow down and return to the Northern Hemisphere position? Why wouldn’t it just spiral away? More importantly, how is it that the sun measurably moves by 15 degrees per hour no matter where the observer is standing on earth or what time of year? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the flat earth model of the sun is completely wrong.
    2
  781.  @KangenAlec  yeah I’m sure that will be completely legit ...
    2
  782.  @WeaponX-mk6lo  given that you’re on a flat earth video calling Neil Degrass Tyson a shill, it’s not unreasonable to think that you’re probably a flat earther. Plus the fact that you instantly launched into a barrage of insults is typical of a flat earther’s lack of anger management that comes with being constantly wrong about everything. But anyway, what have you got against Neil?

  785.  @davesaenz3732  I’m not the one saying this is fake, you are, so the onus is on you to provide evidence. Can I prove this is really from Mars? No, of course not, any video can be faked. But do I think a team of highly intelligent engineers who’ve spent years designing this thing wouldn’t notice if it was fake. No. Do I think they’d build this thing, stick it on top of a massive rocket and launch it and then presumably let it fall back into the ocean and hope no one notices? No. Do I think they could somehow disguise the incoming signals to make them look like they were coming from Mars when in fact they were being transmitted from here in on earth? No. Is it conceivable to send and land a craft on another planet. Yes, absolutely - it’s just a matter of timing and calculating orbital mechanics (landing safely is another thing altogether). See I can actually give you reasons why I think this is real. But you’re saying it’s fake. So what is your evidence for that? “It looks fake to me” isn’t evidence.
    2
  786.  @davesaenz3732  you’re free to express your opinion of course but you’re one of hundreds of people here claiming this is fake. I’m yet to hear anything other than opinions though. Still waiting for some actual evidence.
    2
  787.  @davesaenz3732  if you can’t prove it’s fake, and I think it’s safe to say you can’t, then there is no real reason to think that it is. Fake because “reasons” is the best all you naysayers seem to be able to do.

Yes, it's being buried by Youtube's search algorithm in accordance with their policy of not promoting misinformation but anyone can still watch these videos if they really want to. It's fairly obvious at this point that there is zero evidence supporting it, the only reason it's still in the public awareness is because debunking channels draw attention to it - but even that's getting pretty boring at this point. It's just the same nonsense repeated and over and over and it's now gasping it's last breaths.
    2
  792.  @themodsify  Many people. Bart Sibrel has made a career out of these claims, he's never going to admit to being wrong.
    2
  793. Flat earth videos are all still there, they are just not promoted by YouTube’s search algorithm. Which is fair enough given that they are full of lies and misinformation. As for your sun and moon observations. Did you observe them growing as they approached and then appearing to shrink and slow down as they moved away? No? Then they’re not local objects whizzing around above your head. It’s not that hard to figure out.
    2
  794.  @Gimo76  "Yes I do see both change sizes as they come and go" That's interesting given this has never been observed by any astronomer ever. Were you under the influence of anything at the time? "So, how do you explain them being in the clouds in front of and behind?" I don't need to explain that as it's never been proven. Don't you think it's more likely that the camera's inability to process bright objects is causing an illusion? "If it is 8” per square mile for the curve to show then we should see this imaginary curve." We do. Have you never seen a large object appear to sink below the horizon the further you get away from it? Do you have a rational explanation for this that isn't "perspective because reasons" or repeating nonsense about zoom lenses bringing them back? "If we were actually going 60,000 miles an hour how are we not all blown off our planet" I'm sorry but that's a really dumb question.

    2
  800. @Paul Rodney ”Bogus huh Lol..Prove it, Prove or debunk me that im wrong?" Yes bogus. If something is below the horizon zooming in on it isn't going to bring it back into view. That's ridiculous and there is zero evidence to support that nonsense claim. I don't need to debunk it. You made the claim - you prove it! You can't because it's complete nonsense and you know it! "you wouldn't be needing for me to answer the flaws if you looked it up yourself before talking junk here..There is enough info out there to get all sorts of flaws, son" Firstly, I'm not your son. Secondly, it's very obvious at this point that you've got nothing so you're resorting to the usual flat earth tactic of saying "the information is out there, you need to do the research". It gets a bit old. "Other polish Cosmonat is Miroslaw Hermaszewski" Yes I'm familiar with that interview. He says it's flat and then he smirks. He's obviously joking. And also, in the same interview he also talks about seeing the Earth as round - which you would know if you "did your research". At any rate, a youtube clip of someone saying Earth is flat is not evidence. Evidence would come in the form of a working flat earth map or a working flat earth model. Lets not pretend that either of those things exist! It would come in the form of a rational explanation as to why we have two celestial poles. Or how the sun rises east everywhere on Earth during an equinox. Or why Polaris can only be seen north of the equator. Or why the sun never changes size and traverses the sky consistently at 15 degrees per hour. You know - explaining how all these things that clearly point to Earth being a sphere orbiting the sun can be explained by a flat earth model. And the truth is you can't explain any of these things without ridiculous word salads and gish gallops. So lets stop pretending that you have anything valid to say here. Flat earth is demonstrably complete nonsense and has no relevance in the real world apart from being something to laugh at.
    2
  801.  @paulrodney4433  "You are turning my words and you know it..You just dont want to embarrass yourself my not explaining yourself or defending your words" Am I though? This is what you said - "They say if you dont see a ship anymore in the distance in the seas, where its been proven time and again that when you zoom in with P900 cameras, you see the ship again at a very long distance.. " To me that says a ship doesn't go below the horizon, it just goes out of view (ie. zooming in on it will bring it back). Is that not what you meant? Because the only other way to read that is that you're saying zooming in on a ship makes it bigger which isn't exactly ground breaking information is it? Let's call a spade a spade and just admit that you've been called out on repeating a very blatant lie. "Like i said, P900 have focus in on objects waaay beyond the scientist curve calculations" So you say. I'd say you're doing what all flat earthers do and conveniently ignoring atmospheric refraction. "i can tell want your last say out of pride and ego so ill let you have the last say, how bout that?" Ok thankyou. I very much enjoyed destroying your argument. Have a nice day :)

  808.  @alkivari9491  Water, or any liquid for that matter, will be drawn to the center of Earth's mass by gravity. It's as simple as that. In other words it will flow from a higher altitude to a lower altitude and altitude is simply height above sea level.
    2
  809.  @alkivari9491  It's not that hard to understand.
    2
  810.  @alkivari9491  It's really quite simple. You have one point which is a higher elevation above sea level and another point with is a lower elevation. Water will flow from the higher to the lower elevation. Eventually it will end up at sea which, no surprise here, is at sea level. Which part of this is confusing to you?

  815. Have you checked that you’re not an idiot? You probably should look into it.
    2
  816.  @ethanstube5087  all you need to do is stand by the ocean and watch a ship dip below the horizon. Or alternatively from a boat you can see the coastline disappear beneath the horizon. It’s fairly obvious that this is caused by earth’s curvature. Flattards’ “it’s caused by perspective because reasons” argument is pure nonsense.
    2
  817.  @ethanstube5087  and what Matuse is saying is right - the scientific experiment you claim would satisfy this “debate” is not possible without creating a moon sized object with sufficient gravity to hold water to its surface. Obviously this is not possible which is why flat earth idiots keep bringing it up as if it’s some kind of slam dunk. The reality is that a) there are far simpler ways to determine earth’s shape (which have been done and overwhelmingly indicate that earth is a sphere) and b) no amount of evidence will change a flat earther’s mind because they’re all f&@king morons.
    2
  818.  @ethanstube5087  liking your own comments? That’s sad.
    2
  819. finding solutions the point here is, water doesn’t fly off earth’s surface because it’s held down by gravity - and that gravitational pull is due to Earth’s mass. So pouring water on a tennis ball isn’t a viable model to test the theory. Surely you do realise that?
    2
  820. finding solutions well if I get the gist of it, you wanted to test if water can stick to earth’s surface by pouring water on a tennis ball and spinning it. That tells me you don’t really understand the relationship between gravity and mass.
    2
  821. finding solutions sarcasm doesn’t really work in a comment unless you spell it out. This is especially true when it comes to flat earth.
    2
  822. Flat earth videos haven’t been deleted off YouTube, Google merely altered their search algorithm so that videos with misleading content don’t show up. I have yet to come across any flat earth video that has “reasonable” things to say! In fact I’d go as far as to say that flat earthers are the antithesis of reasonable. They are either willingly lying for personal gain, woefully stupid or mentally ill.
    2
  823. It is only slightly pear shaped. From a distance it would appear perfectly round.
    2
  824. Benjamine Hester you can believe you what you want but no one has ever said earth is literally pear shaped. It was meant as an analogy to describe Earth’s very slight oblateness. Even in the interview with Neil Degrass Tyson, which is the source of the whole pear comment, he specifically said, “on a cosmic scale, Earth is a perfect sphere”. So really I don’t know why people get so hung up on the pear thing.

  835. It just seems crazy to me that people are vaccinating their kids when they don't actually need it. People have stopped listening to reason and science and are responding to the relentless fear-mongering being orchestrated by mainstream media.
    2
  836. I don’t know about that. I think even more than monetary gain it has become what it is because most of these people just want attention and while people keep giving that to them it’s not going to go away. If everyone refrained from making any type of flat earth comment for a month, most of these idiots would implode with frustration. Unfortunately for many of us who are interested in science, it’s hard to sit back and watch them take a massive dump on the last 500 years of scientific discoveries.

  849.  @ginnydare13  "All stars rotate East to West around Polaris just above the central North Pole like in a planetarium dome" If that were true then that would be great evidence to support the flat earth theory. Unfortunately that is very, very wrong. It is only true north of the equator. "The planetarium dome of our Earth however is so vast that the law of perspective doesn't allow you to see all the stars from any one vantage point." Or maybe the Earth is a globe and that's why you can only see half of the stars from any given view point? That seems far more likely than your flerspective argument. If Polaris is at the centre of your imaginary dome then we would see it from everywhere on Earth. How can it be obscured by Earth's horizon at any point if we live on a flat plane and we would always have direct line of sight to it? "You can however see Polaris ... from every point on Earth all the way to the Southern Tropic of Capricorn." You can not see Polaris from the Tropic of Capricorn. No one has ever seen this and there is absolutely no evidence to back this up. You are just repeating a lie. "whereas in the south, from the equator, neither the so-called south pole star, nor the remarkable constellation of the Southern Cross, can be seen simultaneously from every meridian, showing that all the constellations of the south - pole star included - sweep over a great southern arc and across the meridian, from their rise in the evening to their setting in the morning" More bullshit. Circumpolar stars in the southern hemisphere rotate around the southern celestial pole. There is no sweeping over a great southern arc. Here's a tip for you : Samuel Rowbotham was a known con man who just made shit up.

  856.  @tonydixon635  I agree - drivel. It’s actually quite sad that you’ve fallen for this stupid crap. The burden of proof is on the person or group of individuals claiming that 2000 years of scientific consensus is wrong, not the other way around. Water is a fluid and therefore is moulded by the forces acting upon it. Even water in a cup can be slightly curved due to surface tension - and in the case of Earth’s surface it bends due to gravity. And before you go off on a rant about gravity not being real, you should know that I have zero interest in your scientifically illiterate opinion on that matter. All you have to do to see this in action is watch a ship disappear below the horizon - and if you must, watch it through a telescope and note that a telescope doesn’t magically make it reappear like flat earthers like to claim. Your whole “water seeks its level” spiel is nothing more than a flat earth mantra which you are mindlessly repeating like a deranged automaton. Now speaking of the burden on proof, if earth isn’t a sphere, maybe you could explain why two observers standing on different continents in the Southern Hemisphere can look due south and see the exact same constellations rotating around the same point. If Earth was flat they’d be looking in vastly different directions. Makes perfect sense if they’re on a globe doesn’t it? So when you explain that one - in your own words, not by linking to some dumb arse video - and then I’ll listen to your flat earth rant.
    2
  857.  @tonydixon635  no sorry you can’t just dismiss my last point by hand waving it away as irrelevant just because it’s inconvenient to you. The southern celestial pole is only explained by the fact that we live on a globe. If you can’t give a reasonable explanation for how this works on your magical pizza world then I’m completely uninterested in any of your nonsense essays.
    2
  858.  @tonydixon635  more deranged word salads from you. At least you cobbled together a reply, even if it was complete nonsense and didn’t answer the question. This has nothing to do with perspective or vanishing points, you completely ignored the fact that there are two celestial poles and not one like the flat earth model clearly implies would be the case. And yet again a flat earther fails miserably. It’s fine Tony, you can believe (or pretend to believe as the case may be) that earth is flat despite the overwhelming evidence for earth being a globe, I really couldn’t care less.

  866. How do you research something when no one seems to have a clear idea on any aspect of the subject at hand? Granted, the description she gives isn’t one that most flat earthers adhere to but the truth is that literally everything they believe (or pretend to believe at least) is equally as ridiculous as anything promoted by the flat earth society. In fact at least the FES has some definitive ideas, even if they are wrong - it’s better than the limp cop out that many resort to by saying “no one knows for sure but it’s not a globe” or making stupid excuses why they can’t provide details due to lack of time to prepare! To me comparing the FES to other flat earth ideas is like looking at two turds and claiming one is less shitty than the other.

  887.  @MikeBlackbird  You are so full of it! The sun is visible 24 hours a day for a few weeks in Jan - Feb. Thousands of people have seen this. Why would they lie about it? "And ALL (antarctica 24hr sun) video / footages have been faked and doctored, and Exposed" Have they now? And your proof for this is what exactly? Let's be realistic here for a moment, if that's even remotely possible for you - why would anyone go to the trouble of faking Antarctic time lapses when thousands of people go there every year and could easily verify that this fakery was taking place? Where are all the whistle blowers? They must pay all those tourists a LOT of money to keep quiet about it. Or maybe - just maybe - the Antarctic midnight sun is real and you're a delusional imbecile talking shit?

  892. Have you actually tried zooming in on a boat that’s gone below the horizon? I think you’ll find that telescopes and modern cameras can’t actually see around corners, that’s just a silly myth that flat earthers keep repeating in some vain hope that it might come true. The issue with high altitude photography is not that you can’t see earth’s curvature, it’s the lens width. If you had a full field a view at 100,000 feet I’d be willing to bet it would be quite obvious. I did have a laugh at Ego the black space cowboy though.

Probably the best way to deal with these fuckheads would have been to ignore them but unfortunately, for the time being at least, we will have to endure their fantasy bullshit and accept that every legitimate rebuttal to their ignorant claims will be drowned out by a chorus of retards saying the same stupid shit over and over.

  940. LovingTruth if you really looked into it honestly, you would realise that Earth’s sphericity is self evident through simple observation and common sense. I live in the Southern Hemisphere - any night of the year I can look south at night and see stars rotating around a point which is known as the southern celestial pole. It is a fact that everyone in the Southern Hemisphere sees the same phenomenon in the same direction. The simple explanation - and only explanation - for this is that we are all looking at southern axis of Earth’s rotation which is demonstrably 180 degrees opposite to Polaris in the northern hemisphere which happens to almost dead centre on the northern celestial pole. Now whether this is Earth rotating or whether everything is rotating around us is another matter but it does firmly eliminate any silly fantasies about our planet being a giant space pizza.
    1
  941. LovingTruth well you would see the same patterns if a) all the stars we see are extreme distances away from us and b) they are all travelling with us around the galactic centre - which is what modern astronomy says. If you want to believe in geocentricism then that’s fine, I’m not the thought police, but there is a reason why it was abandoned 500 years ago. The heliocentric model explains what we see like retrograde motions of outer planets far more simply without the need for convoluted and complex mechanisms. Plus it’s been confirmed beyond any real doubt with modern technology. But, like I said, if you want to live in the dark ages because it appeals to your spiritual beliefs then that’s up to you.

  942. LovingTruth you are right, science isn’t about proving things, but illuminating falsehoods to arrive at a conclusion that can’t be disproven hence why heliocentricism is accepted as fact.

  949.  @opxchaos5757  Eric has “lots of evidence” you say? Well you don’t have to take my word for it, just go through his 200 “proofs” and ask yourself the simple question, is this substantiated with actual proof or is it just a claim. A couple of examples - he claims the Statue of Liberty can be seen from 60 miles away (he doesn’t say whether or not this is from sea level but we have to assume this is implied) but provides no evidence to back to this up. He merely states it as fact. Another example, he claims Polaris can be seen from the Tropic of Capricorn. Again, stated as fact but not substantiated by a scrap of evidence (that would be difficult given that it’s blatantly untrue). I could go on but if you want to prove me wrong, by all means do.

You haven't done any of this so what you're saying is merely anecdotal and at any rate, 37km isn't that impressive. Have you repeated the test from a greater distance to see if it still holds true? I'm going to guess not. What you've done is thrown a dart at a wall then drawn a bullseye around it and claimed a victory.

  963.  @ZighyBlue  I'm not trying to be overtly judgmental, I'm just pointing out that your anecdote holds no water if you can't present any actual evidence. I could tell you that I saw a sasquatch riding a unicorn - is that evidence that either of them exist or it just a cool story? There is a mountain of evidence that Earth is a sphere which you have to ignore to come to a conclusion that it's flat based on one observation that you haven't even tested. You're hardly in a position to be telling anyone what science is!
    1

There are thousands of timelapses showing the midnight sun in Antarctica - I’ve got a few on my channel actually - no one has debunked them. Just saying “that’s fake” isn’t debunking. Antarctica sees around 30,000 visitors each year, most of whom visit in the summer. There are thousands of anecdotal accounts of the midnight sun - are you really going to suggest that they’re all lying?

  968. Hamster Lord well thankfully I couldn’t care less what you think. If you think anyone would lie about a natural phenomenon then that’s just plain stupid. And no, they’re not debunked. Like I said just saying “that’s fake” isn’t debunking. You can clearly see the shadows doing a 360 degree spin. They are from webcams. Do you really think people sit around making fake timelapses? Really?? Are you actually deluded enough to think that?

  970. Hamster Lord so few? You really have no clue do you? There are a number of research stations there that do daily webcam timelapse animations daily. You can check them yourself for a few weeks in January to February. But of course that would require having a brain. I’m sorry but you really are an idiot.

  971. Hamster Lord well I wasn’t calling you a dishonest scum bag, that would be a little harsh. Delusional maybe. I never said I had thousands, I said there were thousands. I have a few which is what I said.

  972. Hamster look, whether or not you think Antarctica has a midnight sun is beside the point and you’re not the first knob end to claim everyone is lying about it. My point is why haven’t any of these big shot flat earthers with YouTube channels gone down there to prove it one way or another? It seems Iike a simple way to settle it - although I’m sure they’d pull some excuse out of their arse once they realise they’re wrong.

  973. There's a difference between traditional vaccines and the more recent, controversial ones - for a whole range of reasons; from the fact that they were rushed onto the market, they do weird, unnatural things to your cells, to being forced onto a lot of people or at the very least coerced with the threat of being social pariahs if they dared to exercise their bodily autonomy. It's quite a bit more nuanced than just "ooooh science".

  987.  @REMIGIOPEREIRA  "How do you contain particles in a vaccum of space without a seal?" It's called gravity. "Why do bubbles show up in your space station videos?" They don't. It's debris. Bubbles don't float around in different directions do they? "Why do you have videos with guys in oxygen tanks swimming while you fix the station?" They train in a pool, this is common knowledge. "How did you get past the VA belts without the new technology of the Orion back in 1969?" They flew through it. Orion and Apollo have completely different trajectories. "Why were the moonrocks faked?" They weren't. Almost half a tonne of moon rocks were collected during the Apollo missions. One misidentified rock in a Dutch museum doesn't mean they are all fake. "How did your rockets work to propel against no air environment?" They don't need air to push against. "How did you manage to film the moon landings before you arrived" What are you talking about?? "and how did you film it after you took off?" With a remote controlled video camera "How did the footage get to earth if you were filming the takeoff from moon?" Radio waves "Who stayed behind to get your footage?" Stupid question I could keep going but I have a question for you : why ask questions when you're not interested in hearing the answer? Here's another one : if other people can find reasonable explanations to these questions, why can't you?

  992. @ political witch hunts have a tendency to go that way. When you compare, let’s say, invading another country leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians and destabilizing an entire region for example, what he was charged with was on the more trivial side. Fact is, they threw everything they could at him, as well as being shot, shot at, demonised by the media for years and he still soldiered on and he still won - convincingly. Whether you like him or not, I think the will of the majority should be respected and he should be given a chance to do his job.
    1
  993.  @nou2769  Yes well political witch hunts have a way of turning out that way. Guilty or not, if you compare his charges to, oh I don't know, let's say invading another country based on a lie, leading to hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and destabilizing an entire region, I'd say they're on a more trivial side of things. Whether you like him not, he's incredibly resilient. Despite his political opponents trying to put him jail, being shot, shot at, and being demonized in the mainstream media for years, he still kept soldiering on and he still won - convincingly. So I think the will of the majority should respect their democratically elected leader, or at least respect the position he's been granted, and just let the guy do his job.
    1
  994.  @nou2769  Whether he was found guilty or not, it was very obviously orchestrated by his political opponents in an attempt to bring him down. The fact that despite his opponents trying to jail him, being shot, being shot at, and being demonized in the media, he still soldiered on and that show of defiance and strength is probably what resonated with so many Americans.

  1002. Sure, for those who are vulnerable the vaccines have had a valuable role to play. The issue here is that the technology behind mRNA vaccines has never been used for vaccines, they were rushed onto to the market and as such there is no long term data on their safety. They have also proven to be extremely unsafe or even deadly to a small number of people. So the issue here is with people being forced or at the very least strongly coerced into being injected with something that they either don’t want or aren’t sure about. When you bother to look beyond the narrative that we’re all being force-fed, it seems pretty clear that there is some shady shit going on and that makes a lot of people extremely suspicious.

  1016.  @elijahkennady8831  Yeah ... that's a massive stretch. The theory of Evolution is not in any way predicated on the Big Bang theory. Of course you're welcome to cite any references, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Earth's sphericity was determined through measurement well before the Big Bang or evolution theory.
    1
  1017.  @elijahkennady8831  The answer to that is a bit beyond the scope of Youtube comment - and I'm not going to say anything differently to what you could look up on line. But with all due respect, you appear to be clamouring for an argument. You originally started out saying Nasa was hebrew for "deceit", then saying the Big Bang theory is a false claim, then trying to tie the Big Bang theory to evolution, etc. Now you've moved on to how the Big Bang theory was arrived at. Is there any point to this?

  1027.  @brixtyoutube8166  that is utter crap. Once something has gone below the horizon no amount of zooming in on it is going to bring it back into view. If an object is large enough you can see it dipping below the horizon with your naked eye. Zooming in on it will just enlarge it but the obscured portion will remain the same. Honestly it boggles my mind how gullible you’d need to be to believe that nonsense. Here’s a tip, don’t believe anything Eric Dubunked tells you.

  1028. Why?

  1029. Tony Basoni so if gravity doesn’t exist, how is it that you can drop an object and it will accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s/s? What causes this acceleration?

Corner a flat earther into explaining exactly what they believe and watch them squirm!
    1
  1053.  @ienjoyapples  They don't have an argument for everything unless you let them keep changing the subject or spamming you with a gish gallop. Pin them down to elaborating on what they actually claim to believe and almost always they will start squirming. "They aren't ignorant or stupid either. The olympic level mental gymnastics required to argue in favor of flat earth requires both a high degree of intelligence and knowledge of contemporary science." I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. They can regurgitate verbatim nonsense flat earth arguments by waffling on about laws of thermodynamics or the Michelson-Morley experiment for example but very, very few of them actually know anything about the actual science behind these things. Ask them why the southern celestial pole exists and usually they'll reply about never being able to go there so no one really knows what it is. I mean seriously! If that's demonstrating a knowledge of science then I'm Margaret Thatcher. They are good at being contrarian mostly. Some of them know enough terminology to sound convincing but they are a minority.

  1074.  @carlosdiaz6405  Here's a tip, if you want people to take you seriously, don't start off by saying Earth is flat. Literally all the evidence points very clearly to it being a globe orbiting the sun. To claim otherwise puts you firmly in the category of a gullible ignoramus, I'm sorry to say. Don't mean to be rude but that's just a fact. I don't dispute that we may not know everything there is to know about gravity, it's a work in progress - as is this case with most scientific inquiry - but the existence of gravity has been established beyond any real doubt even if it's mechanisms are still being debated and discovered. Drop two objects in a vacuum and they will demonstrably accelerate downward at 9.8 p/s/s - every time. This has been replicated millions of times in classrooms all over the world. If gravity doesn't exist, what is causing this acceleration? We can also use gravitational theory to very reliably predict orbital mechanics with pin point accuracy.

  1075.  @jasepoag8930  He said himself at the start that it's his opinion. And his opinion is very biased so make what you will of that. I'm not particularly a fan of Donald but there's so much rhetoric and hatred from the left, I think it's wise to take it with a grain of salt. They were saying all the same things last time and the sky didn't fall in then, I doubt it will this time around either.

  1077.  @daevaskye  I'm not completely discounting some of what you're saying here - there is some question as to whether complete lock downs are the best option and certainly the media has over-hyped this to the nth degree (no surprise there). However some of your facts here are very questionable. For instance you're omitting that Sweden's mortality rate was 4 times that of the USA a couple of months ago and while the numbers have dropped, there is a question mark whether or not there approach will prove to be effective. However, there is no question that this virus is markedly more severe than a flu so it's not really fair to call people who are worried about it "clueless morons". We have not lost "nearly all our freedoms" - that is the kind of sensationalist rubbish that you'd probably accuse the media of! You are just being asked to wear a mask if you're in Victoria and stay home if possible. It won't be forever.

My wife has had it, she's fine, as is everyone else I know that got it. It's time for people to stop panicking, stop listening to the fear mongering from mainstream news and for f**k's sake people, get a grip! If your governments are still trying this crap, then it's time to say no.

  1106. The sheer audacity that these politicians, some of the biggest liars on the planet, would try to tell Australians what's true and what isn't, just beggars belief. And I'm not just talking about Labor - let's face it, if the Liberals were in they would be trying to pull the exact same thing. I'm glad that the Australian people have stood up to this and I hope we continue to let these pricks know that we're not interested in being "kept safe" by having our freedoms stripped away.

  1107. I once tried to get some catnip for my old cat because I figured he’d done the yards, he deserved it - the look I got from the woman in the pet store smacked of “you’re an animal abuser - get the f$&k out of my store”. RIP my old friend, you were a great cat.

  1108.  @KangenAlec  or maybe rather than suggesting people go to a known con artist’s channel you could explain why the sun never changes size and moves 15 degrees per hour no matter where it’s viewed from or what time of year. But you won’t because you’re not capable of answering any questions.

  1129. Why would anyone debate you when your requirements are based on a woeful misunderstanding of science? 8 inches per mile squared doesn't describe Earth's curvature. The Michelson-Morley experiment never concluded that Earth was stationary. And E=MC squared wasn't formulated to prove the heliocentric model. You've just humiliated yourself before anyone debated you. Well done.

  1143. ​ @TheLiam85  "how about controlling the cosmology of the human population and embedding a pseudo science religion of nihilistic atheism making money and consumption god while atvthe same time quelling all natural curiosity" Which part of that is evidence of this video footage being fake? "and if younunderstood science and natural law your statement that it's entirely possible would have never left your mouth" Would you like to explain in your own words how science and natural law prevents a craft being sent to Mars? "look what the catholic church achieved and all they had available was a book no one could read and some impressive buildings" Which part of that is evidence of this video footage being fake? "or we could mention the billions of tax dollars nasa gets?" Again, not seeing how NASA's budget proves this is fake. "go watch the old nasa footage from back in the day and tell me that looks real. Or do you think there is a Tesla floating around out there." Not seeing the relevance. Even if old NASA footage was faked, that doesn't imply that this is. Please refer specifically to this video.

  1144.  @TheLiam85  "2nd law of thermo dynamics, entropy law. Think on that when nasa is telling you gas pressure exists next to a vacuum" Sounds like flat earth crap to me. Is that the level of your expertise - regurgitating things you've heard on ridiculous youtube videos? I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but I'm yet to see anything resembling evidence from you, just your opinions that everything is fake. Disappointing.
    1
  1145.  @TheLiam85  what am I denying? Just saying words isn’t evidence of anything other than you not actually understanding what they mean. At this stage you’ve done nothing but regurgitate nonsense ideas you’ve borrowed from idiotic flat earth videos. I’m still waiting for you to provide evidence to support your claims, something that you obviously incapable of doing.
    1
  1146.  @TheLiam85  "you claim there is a pressurised system next to a vacuum" Well technically I haven't claimed anything, I'm just asking you to provide some solid evidence of fakery in this video given that it's "absolute nonsense" as you say. You're presumably implying that our atmosphere should be sucked out into the vacuum of space unless our planet is inside a container (thereby demonstrating a woeful misunderstanding of how air pressure works) so it's you who is making the claims here. Now I'm sure you've had it explained to you why this conclusion is completely wrong so I don't think I'll waste my time repeating it. However, I can only conclude that your scientific credentials are non existent and discussing these things in depth would be like trying to explain how a combustion engine works to my cat. If you'd like to discuss direct evidence of fakery in any of Perseverance's images then I'd be happy to investigate what you provide. Not really interested in your silly flat earth crap though.

  1148. Zachary Hill it’s dumb because it doesn’t explain anything properly. Density is a property of matter, it isn’t a force. Why do objects accelerate towards the ground at 9.8 m/s/s? If they are accelerating then a force is being applied to them - this is not something that can just be waved off as inconsequential. And what causes them to go “down”? Why not sideways? Flat earthers can’t explain any of this and yet it’s observable, repeatable, testable - you know, all those things they claim is so important!

This is something that you nutters are patently unable to provide to back up any of your stupidity and that’s why no one cares about flat earth. It’s an idiotic conspiracy theory that has run its course. Might be time to move on don’t you think?

  1153. Any one who knows more than basic science isn’t going to end up a flat earther given that it’s trivially easy to debunk with even a small amount of scientific knowledge. Personally I think most flat earth “leaders” (if you can call them that) know full well that Earth isn’t flat but have just found an easy way to siphon money out of stupid people who’ll literally believe anything they’re told.

As far as I can tell he lives in an echo chamber deleting comments so his nonsense can appear to be unchallenged even though all his videos are trivially easy to debunk And 2) as if a debate would end the discussion. It’s not like presenting facts and evidence has the slightest bit of impact on this stupidity. Bearing in mind that flat earth has very little influence in the real world, the only real way to end it is if everyone just ignores you attention seeking idiots.

  1178. Nunya Business um ... I didn’t say anything about Christians. Look if you really want proof that Earth is a sphere then it’s up to you to do that. Asking others to explain it to you is just lazy and clearly you’re not interested. But you only have to gain a basic understanding of astronomy to realise that it only works on a sphere. If the stars demonstrably form a celestial sphere as you traverse the planet - which they do - then that means you’re looking up at them from a spherical surface. It’s pretty simple. But it’s up to you to learn more rather than being a time wasting f*%ktard. And with that I will say farewell.

  1180. Yehudah Wayne so basically you’re asking for proof and no matter what this person says, you’ll just say “that’s not proof of anything.” What a fun game, can I play?
    1
  1181. Yehudah Wayne what they are saying about the two celestial poles is actually proof if you bother to look into it, although admittedly they have glossed over some of the details. At the very least the existence of two celestial poles indicates very clearly that we aren’t living on a flat disk! To be more precise, the fact that each pole star will shift by 1 degree for every 111km that you travel north or south and the angular height of each pole star will always match your latitude is proof that we live on a spherical planet. You can argue against that if you want (and I’m sure you will) but it remains a fact whether you accept it or not.

  1186.  @whirledpeas3477  No need for the insults. If you don't believe in God then good for you. But there are 7 billion people in this world with 7 billion different points of view. Maybe yours isn't the definitively correct one. Ever thought of that? Part of growing up is acknowledging this. I'm just saying, the reason people might believe in God is because you can't actually prove he doesn't exist and for many people this belief is a comfort, for others it's something they hold to be true because of their experiences. Lots of Christians also wrestle with their doubts but enjoy having the support of their church community. There's a whole bunch of reasons why people choose to believe in God that don't necessarily make them stupid.

  1190. There’s a lot to be said for legalising some drugs and ending the black market trade. People talk about marijuana bring a gateway drug - of course it’s a gateway drug if you’re buying it off some dodgy dealer! As far as ecstasy goes, I think it’s pretty overrated. In my 40 odd years I’ve come to realise that recreational drug taking is a massive waste of time and money but having said that, when you’re 20 you don’t think about consequences. So yes, pill testing is a good idea. Not being a reckless dickhead and putting your life at risk is also a good idea.

Regardless of whether it was legal or not, do you think it's ok for your government to freeze your bank account if they don't like the way you think? That's a slippery slope wouldn't you say?

How is it wrong? How do you account for the fact that objects accelerate downwards at 9.8 m/s/s? If they are accelerating then a force is being applied - what is this force if it’s not gravity?

You’ll get some flat earthers using certain documents as evidence where they are making aeronautics calculations for example and factoring in earth’s curvature is so negligible on the outcome that they model it on a flat plane. It’s not evidence of earth being flat but flat earthers have very primitive brains and don’t understand a lot of things.

  1203.  @jimygod  I’d say watching a boat disappear hull first is evidence actually. Yes, you could build an elaborate experiment like you describe with a considerable investment in time, effort and finances. But for what? To prove something that’s been known without any reasonable doubt for over 2000 years? And what makes you think flat earthers would accept the result if it wasn’t in their favour? At this point I think it’s clear that they’re not actually interested in finding out the truth, it’s more about clinging onto a position no matter what evidence is thrown at them. So yeah, you could waste your time if you really wanted to - or, like I said, you could weigh up the evidence (which overwhelmingly indicates we live on a sphere) and reach a rational conclusion.

His fans call it "criticism" but the sheer volume of content, not to mention creating an entire channel dedicated to making fun of her, makes his actions harassment, surely? If he was so worried about the safety of his family, maybe he should've thought about that before cyber bullying a famous youtuber! Can't say I have much sympathy for him.

  1220.  @wajmgirl  On his JJJacksfilms channel, there are 40 videos made over a span of about two months. Regardless of how they might have been made, fact remains he uploaded a video about her every couple of days. That's obsessive at the very least.

It’s fair to say it’s lazy and I don’t think she’s above criticism but I don’t think she’s really hurting anyone and you can’t really blame her for exploiting a loop hole in fair use if she’s got millions of fans who enjoy her videos. It’s really up to tech platforms to crack down on this stuff if its illegal.

  1222. So correct me if I'm wrong - this has been around for a while, there have been occasional outbreaks which no one remembers because it was no big deal, and it's not particularly severe. Does that about sum it up? At the same time we have the WHO about to discuss their plans to basically take control over everyone's lives in the event of another pandemic. If I was a cynic, I would say the media attention on this is just a way to remind everyone that they should be scared.

  1226. I’m not an expert on this, just want to make that clear, but to me it’s pretty simple - don’t eat processed junk food, drink more water and, most importantly, watch your portion sizes. Obesity pretty much just comes down to eating too much. If you’re stuffing your face when you’re not even hungry then you’re going to get fat and the fatter you get the more food you have to keep shovelling in. If you can’t be bothered counting calories then just follow that simple plan and chances are you’ll lose weight. And exercise is good for your general health but you have to do a hell of a lot of it to burn fat so if weight loss is your primary gain, just eat less and eat healthily.

  1233. The accounts of these experienced sailors you talk of - can you cite any of these? As far as I’m concerned the fact that celestial navigation in the Southern Hemisphere works the way it does is one of the best debunks of the entire flat earth theory.

  1234. I watched the Joe Rogan interview and I would've liked to hear you talk more rather than listen to Joe talking utter crap about the moon landing conspiracy for half an hour. Most of his points have been overwhelmingly debunked and you made a very good point that there is no actual evidence of the coverup taking place. The most damning debunk of the moon landing conspiracy is that the Russians would've known if it had of been faked but they've never said a thing. Joe's assertion that they lacked the technology to track the lunar modules post low earth orbit is complete nonsense. Honestly, I think he's a good interviewer for the most part but in this case he let his ego and his daft ideas ruin the interview.

  1259.  @footprints2324  my thoughts on Brian Mullins ... he was lauded as a hero by flat earthers because he seemed to know what he was talking about and spoke on subjects that were beyond a lot of people’s ability to comprehend but his discussions seemed to indicate that there were actually some issues with the globe earth model and mainstream science. The problem was that many people did understand what he was talking about and in the comment sections on his original videos they not only tore him to pieces but went as far as reporting him to the engineering fraternity for malpractice. After all, no one wants a civil engineer who doesn’t understand the concepts behind his own profession working on their projects! Interestingly, Brian disappeared from YouTube never to be seen again leading some to speculate that he was rather keen to distance himself from his body of work. I won’t comment on the video you’ve linked as his content has been thoroughly debunked by others. I’d suggest you look up a mirror of that particular video that allows comments and see what others have to say. Always be suspicious of any flat earth video that shuts down any discourse.

    1
  1272. Zrips God can’t be proven either way plus churches provide community for a lot of people. Flat earth is easily proven wrong even for someone with low intelligence. I’ve no doubt there are genuine believers who are either highly religious or mentally ill, but just like religion, you’re going to get a lot of posers. For anyone who’s bored and looking for an easy way to get a bit of attention and entertain themselves by being an annoying cockhead, flat earth is the perfect vehicle for that.
    1
  1273. Zrips plus I personally don’t know how that survey was conducted - do you? How many people were asked? How were the questions worded? How did they select the participants? Etc. As the saying goes, there are lies, damned lies and statistics!
    1
  1274.  @Zripas  No, that's actually not my argument at all. I'm saying that the reason people believe in God isn't necessarily because a book told them to, although that may be the central reason, but also because churches provide a real community for people. I suppose you could argue the same for flat earthers - that there is an online community that also reinforces their beliefs and gives them a sense of comfort - and that may be true but it's not as tangible as an actual place with a physical presence of a congregation. But besides that, my main point is that you can't prove that God doesn't exist any more than you can prove that he can. But it's trivially easy to prove that flat earth is a load of nonsense if you look at it with any sort of intellectual honesty. To go back to what you were saying about religion, I don't think a society where we tell people what they can and can't believe is a very healthy one. I would say the same for flat earthers - I think it's ridiculous and I love to poke holes in their stupid theory but it's not up to me to tell anyone what they should believe. When you start claiming something is fact when there is no proof for it then that's a different ball game. But say what you will about Christians or whatever, churches actually do a lot of good that isn't necessarily broadcasted. I'm not a Christian myself but I have close ties with a local church where I live and they do a lot of good things both locally and abroad, particularly with youth, the poor and the vulnerable. They don't advertise that but there is a lot of good that they and many churches do behind the scenes that most people aren't aware of.

If you want to exist in an echo chamber of stupidity then yeah, go talk to flat earthers.

I once pressed a flat earther on this and eventually he had nowhere to go but claim that “they” were lying about the true distances. Hmmm ... and yet no one has noticed this despite international travel going on all over earth at any given moment? Sounds legit ...

At any rate, are we really at a point where no one is allowed to say anything that falls outside of the mainstream narrative, especially when it comes to Covid and the control measures around it (much of which is highly questionable in my view)? If anything that just makes me even more suspicious.

Otherwise you’re just another dumb arse on YouTube parotting the same ignorant bollocks we’ve all heard before.

  1313. Jason Wallace I don’t recall any false information. I thought it was actually quite well made and a good perspective on the subject. The comment section in particular is quite active at the moment and I must admit I do enjoy poking holes in flat earthers’ daft ideas. I don’t need confirmation of the globe, it’s just a fact and it’s self evident if you look at it with any sort of intellectual honestly. That’s the big difference with flat earthers - it’s intellectually very dishonest.
    1
  1314. Like your whole water is flat argument - that is predicated around the idea that gravity doesn’t exist when it obviously does. If there was no force being applied to an object then it wouldn’t accelerate towards the centre of earth’s mass. The fact that you have a demonstrable and consistently measurable acceleration implies the existence of a force. To deny that is just being silly. We may not understand why gravity exists completely but there is no doubt that it does exist, regardless of what you might have to say about it.

  1316. Jason Wallace no a butterfly doesn’t destroy the whole concept - it has wings you doofus. What do you think would happen to the butterfly if it didn’t have wings? Anyway, I said I wasn’t going to get into a discussion about this - and yet here I am arguing about it. You got me. If you want to believe gravity doesn’t exist you go girl. I don’t care what you believe.

  1319.  @jasonwallace3319  if you can explain why we have the southern celestial pole in the Southern Hemisphere then I’ll hear you out.

    1
  1329.  @ww3659  from what I’ve seen that evidence isn’t overly convincing. Usually the important details such as observer height and the actual distance to the object being viewed are glossed over or not mentioned. These things are obviously important if the study is going to be considered scientific in any way. And the distances shown in these videos are rarely more than 30 miles. If earth was flat, we should be able to see things that are 100 miles away at least. And I’m yet to hear a rational explanation why large objects appear to sink below the horizon as you move away from them.

  1346.  @KangenAlec  it also causes tropical storms to rotate one way in the Southern Hemisphere and the opposite direction in the northern hemisphere.

  1347.  @A-Constant-Lull  Yeah .. I dunno man, I think a lot of them are kinda stupid. Either that or con artists and trolls. I've heard their arguments, none of them are good. If I were to be generous, questioning the basis of one's belief - whether it's through personal experience or just because it's what we've been told is true - is a valid thought experiment in a general sense. But as for proving Earth is a flat disk, they have failed miserably (probably because it's not).

  1350.  @User-yy6xt  I’m not personally worried about it. It’s a movement that will eat itself in time as it becomes abundantly evident that none of their claims have any substance. I think it’s unfortunate that people get sucked into it - both those who believe it and those who waste their time “debating” it - but it’s unlikely that any true flat earth believer would ever have been lining up for Nobel prize so it’s no great loss to humanity if someone spends a few years embarrassing themselves by believing something utterly stupid.
    1
  1351.  @User-yy6xt  Nah, it's a globe, this has already been overwhelmingly proven in a multitude of ways. If you actually believe Earth is flat - and my guess is that you don't actually believe that, you're just looking for attention but if you do - then you are not worth wasting time on.

  1352.  @raypeery6317  No, I'm really not. If someone wants to believe idiotic ideas, that's their prerogative. I think it's a great shame that the internet has allowed this nonsense to flourish but honestly, I'd rather live in a world where wrong ideas are allowed to be discussed than one where only the official version of the truth is allowed. So no, I'm not worried about it. Science will continue to lead to new discoveries and inventions, hopefully not to the detriment of humanity, while the flat earth theory will continue to contribute nothing.

  1363.  @steelearmstrong9616  That's actually not true at all. Statistically the average age was lower because of high infant mortality.

  1364. I live in Australia and I can tell you flat earthers are extremely rare. I've never met one. I only know of two or three that have youtube channels.

  1367.  @pauladams5083  no one can go to Antarctica? Really? Tell that to the thousands of tourists and people who work there. A friend of mine came back from there recently. You still haven’t explained how we have two celestial poles if earth is a flat disk.
    1
  1368.  @pauladams5083  well no, you can’t go there and start exploring - there are checks in place to ensure you’re not going to die or need rescuing. But you can still go there! People do all the time. My friend spent six months there a couple of years ago.

I actually know someone else who went there in a yacht and spent two weeks with a Danish research team. So your whole “you can’t go to Antarctica” claim is complete nonsense. As for exploration, there are literally hundreds of well documented expeditions. And you still haven’t explained how we have two celestial poles.

  1378. Well you’re not going to get it from flat earthers because they don’t have any. As much as science can prove anything, celestial navigation proves beyond any reasonable doubt that we live on a spherical planet. Plus anyone can look at the known distances between any two points on earth and see that they only work if earth is a sphere!
    1
  1379.  Hendru Ajib  I don’t know about that, it’s not that hard to figure out. It’s just a process of elimination. The simple fact that everyone in the Southern Hemisphere who looks south at night will see the same constellations rotating around the same point is enough to completely eliminate any possibility of flat earth being true. That’s just one of many examples. If anyone wants to prove earth is a sphere, all they have to do is take two points in the northern hemisphere, note the distance between them, then find two points in the Southern Hemisphere with corresponding latitude and longitude and see if the distances match. If they aren’t wildly different - and they won’t be - then earth is a sphere.

  1380. The vast majority of the images coming through show a peaceful protest. With so many people turning out, it's expected you're going to get some rabble but to represent a few bad apples as being the majority view of the protesters says a lot about your own integrity. This sort of demonizing is just parroting the mainstream media's attempts to vilify these protesters and I'm sorry but it doesn't wash with anyone who's eyes are open to this sort of manipulation.

  1389. I don't think he was entirely innocent but I think it was an extremely toxic relationship and those situations bring out the worst in people. When it was all happening live, I tuned out to it because I found the idea of making entertainment out of a relationship breakdown to be pretty vulgar - plus as someone who was in an emotionally abusive relationship for many years, I found the whole thing a bit triggering. But the general gist I got was that he was innocent and she was a bit of a loon. I watched the Netflix documentary figuring it was a significant event in pop culture, but I came away from it thinking they were both horrible people. I certainly didn't think he came across as an innocent victim and it surprises me that people think that.

  1391.  @SS-ub5qz  with delta almost displaced entirely by omicron world wide the only people taking up hospital beds are the morbidly obese and people with pre-existing conditions. Your argument about the unvaccinated taking up hospital beds doesn’t hold water. Perhaps we should be telling fatties and diabetics they are no longer welcome to participate in normal society in case they take up a hospital bed? What do you reckon?
    1
  1392.  @SS-ub5qz  oh let’s not forget smokers. Make them stay at home. Also athletes. And people who drive cars. All potential hospital bed thieves.
    1
  1393.  @lg8587  The data that I've seen shows that the unvaccinated are around a third more likely to require hospitalization. So while it does appear that vaccination is helping to some degree, those who are vaccinated are also representing a significant proportion of those numbers. Obesity appears to be a common denominator for many cases. However the important factor here is that Omicron is much less pathogenic and for the vast majority the symptoms will be mild. Also, evidence shows that after infection you will get natural immunity. So the question isn't whether or not vaccinations are working, the question is do we really to rethink the health strategies and the control measures. That's why I think this protest is important and I hope it's just the beginning of ordinary people standing up to the fear mongering and coercion tactics.
    1
  1394.  @lg8587  lol that’s not where I’m getting my information from. Death rates have dropped in pretty much every country except maybe where there are high comorbidities. It’s well known at this stage that Omicron is considerably less pathogenic.
    1
  1395.  @lg8587  it’s a combination of both. Omicron replicates in the bronchial passage rather than the lungs. That’s why people aren’t getting pneumonia from it. The symptoms are more like a common cold for the vast majority, with vaccinations playing a role in keeping hospitalizations down. I’m not saying they are useless (although they are disappointingly short lived in their effectiveness). The point is we are now dealing with a far less dangerous variant and so governments need to adapt their strategies. The lock downs and the general climate of fear and anxiety has done an enormous amount of damage in the last two years to peoples livelihoods and general well being. Do you not want to see an end to this?
    1
  1396.  @SS-ub5qz  there is no evidence that unvaccinated spread Covid more. That is simply not true.
    1
  1397.  @SS-ub5qz  Relatively safe for most, at least in short term. Dangerous or even deadly for a few. Long term, no one knows. I guess we just cross our fingers and hope we don't see spates of weird immune side effects down the track. But it's not an argument about whether people should or shouldn't get vaccinated, it's about the damaging control measures and at the heart of it, the right to choose whether or not to participate in a medical trial. There are many people who have good reasons to want to avoid it - from people who have autoimmune diseases, people who had horrible side effects from the first jab to people who have had Covid and have natural immunity.
    1
  1398.  @SS-ub5qz  Yeah, it's not preposterous. Most people know of at least one person who's had a serious side effect, from heart conditions to limb paralysis. To say it's completely safe, even if you write it in all caps, I'm sorry but you're living in a fantasy land. Again, most people won't have a problem but some do. And yes, it's a medical trial. mRNA technology has never been used for vaccines prior to this and there is no long term safety data. If that doesn't qualify as a medical trial then I don't know what does! I'm not a conspiracy theorist, these are just simple facts. But as I said, I'm not claiming that these vaccines haven't had a role to play in keeping hospitalizations down, you only have to look at the data to see that they have been successful to some degree. But how long does this go on? That's the question. To me and to many other people it seems ludicrous to think that we can vaccinate our way out of this pandemic, especially now we have a significantly less pathogenic variant. It seems the obvious way forward at this stage is to let it run it's course, allow people to build up natural immunity through exposure and end all the mandates and control measures.
    1
  1399.  @SS-ub5qz  It just sounds to me like to you're repeating the negative rhetoric from the mainstream media, a lot of which has been vastly over-exaggerated. Like the "desecration" of a statue which was simply where someone put an upside down Canadian flag on it and put some clothes on it! There was one person with a Nazi flag. Whoop-dee-doo! So your attempts to paint it as a far-right extremist movement don't wash with me. You are no better than the mainstream media. People are sick of these lies and manipulations of the truth. The large majority are from all walks of life, not racists, not fascists, just ordinary people who are fed up. I'm sure it's causing a ruckus locally and will probably be a short-lived inconvenience but it's also sending a message to the rest of the world and I think that's awesome. If that makes me "complicit in their crimes" (whatever those crimes may be) then so be it. But I think you're full of it.

  1400.  @SS-ub5qz  I don't live in Canada, I'm actually in Australia but the situation is similar in many regards. I'm frustrated that my country, which was once seen as an idyllic location, has been tarred internationally by rogue premiers acting like power-crazed tyrants with an ineffectual prime minister who seems incapable of doing anything about it. When you see things like a 50 year old woman being arrested, thrown in a paddy wagon and charged simply for refusing to show her medical details on demand, it makes you wonder what the hell happened to our once great country. And most frightening of all is that so many people are not only ok with this but actively encourage it! In all my years I never would have thought so many weak-minded, apathetic people would willingly allow themselves to be brainwashed into accepting the segregation of people who in this case simply want to uphold their bodily autonomy. So while you may see what's happening in Canada in a negative light, for me and I'm sure for many others, it's a sign of hope and a clear message to these pricks that enough is enough. As for vaccinations, I had my two shots, got exposed to Covid and was asymptomatic. I won't be getting a booster, thanks very much.

Honestly, I think all the hate is coming from a bunch of Star Wars nerds who just don’t like anything that Disney does. I can understand that with the sequel movies, they were truly terrible, but for casual viewers who haven’t pored over every bit of Star Wars lore in existence and couldn’t really give a stuff, Obi Wan has been good so far.

  1432. I've looked into both sides of the Port Arthur conspiracy theory and honestly the evidence for Martin Bryant being the perpetrator is fairly overwhelming. The main argument seems to be that a mentally handicapped man couldn't shoot accurately from the hip - forgetting of course that the majority of deaths occurred in a small, crowded cafe. When he was outside his accuracy was vastly diminished. He was also filmed - and the story is corroborated by eye witnesses. I personally don't think it's a bad thing that SLR's aren't easily made available. I could have easily killed a friend of mine playing around will a stolen army rifle when I was young, not realising it was loaded. Also, they didn't "take our guns" - they bought back restricted weapons during a no-questions-asked amnesty. Australia has significantly less gun crime as a result of this. You can still own a gun in Australia, it's just harder to do than it is in the US. And if we were all armed to the teeth, what difference would that make in reality?

  1458. Don Corleone you have stated a lot of blatantly incorrect information here. The southern cross has never been considered a pole star - for a start it’s a constellation, secondly it’s used a pointer to the southern celestial pole. In the Southern Hemisphere there is no bright star conveniently sitting dead centre so the southern cross is a useful way of locating it. And yes, everyone is the Southern Hemisphere can see the southern cross is the same direction, circling around the same point - this fact alone destroys any infantile delusions about living in a frigging snow dome! You cannot see Polaris from the Southern Hemisphere. That is just a lie. If your flat earth delusion needs lies to support it then that kind of says it all really doesn’t it?
    1
  1459. Don Corleone oh its an illusion ... riiiight sure. Hahaha. I’ll give you points for being creative. I live in the Southern Hemisphere, I can assure you the southern celestial pole isn’t an illusion. You said Polaris can be seen south of the equator - you were clearly implying that it can be seen well south, I was saying it disappears below the horizon south of the equator but if you were clutching at straws you could argue that it can still be seen if you gain altitude. I think you knew exactly what I meant. I call the flat earth model a fantasy space pizza because it doesn’t deserve serious contemplation. You can argue about it all you want, the facts are never going to be on your side. It’s pure stupidity to think earth is flat.

  1460. @Don Corleone "I never said the southern celestial pole is an illusion. So their goes your first paragraph." You said, and I quote, "You dont see the stars in the south rotating around the southern crux. It appears they are but they are not. This is just an optical illusion." You're not only delusional but also quite forgetful too I see. You also asked how can Earth be a ball if Polaris can be seen south of the Equator? Now you're saying you weren't implying that it can be seen south of the Equator. So what were you implying exactly? Are you a bit confused?

  1491. My Dad was a mechanic in the early 60's, back before anyone really worried about work place health and safety. The other workers in the shop used to play pranks on each other which progressed onto putting foreign objects in people's lunches - a popular one was to pop a rat's head under the lid of someone's pie and close it back up again. Anyway, my dad had the brilliant idea of putting a lubricant stick, which is sort of like a candle, in his mate Barry's pie. But Dad didn't take into account that the stick would melt with the heat inside the pie and Barry proceeded to eat the entire thing. When he went home sick in the afternoon, Dad started to worry and read the label only to see the poison warnings but not wanting to get in trouble he didn't own up to it. Things got worse the following Monday when Barry didn't turn up for work and Dad found out that he'd spent the weekend in intensive care. Thankfully Barry survived but Dad never owned up to it even though everyone that worked there knew it was him.

  1498.  @xaxzander4633  I'm not justifying it. The very idea of it is completely abhorrent. It's just people from other countries have this skewed idea of what the pandemic was like in Australia, probably because they saw some of the vision from Victoria of the riots or the pregnant girl being carted off by the cops for a Facebook post. Again, not saying any of that was justified but if you asked 99.9% of Australians what life was like during the pandemic, they'd say it was generally pretty peaceful on the whole.

  1510. Why would anyone use a 2000 year old book as a science manual? When it was written the telescope hadn’t even been invented so no one knew what planets were. Regardless of that, the bits that you mentioned sound very open to interpretation to me. The Bible doesn’t specifically describe earth as a flat disk with a dome over it. If we want to be specific, it’s describes Earth as God’s foot stool. Should we take that literally? Where are all the stool-earthers?

  1513.  @EattheFOODTina-ND  If I found someone entertaining then I really couldn't care less what their credentials are. If they were setting out to impart psychological advice and they weren't qualified then yes of course that would be different but he states very clearly at the start of each video that he's not diagnosing anyone, just giving an opinion. I don't see how that can possibly construed as misleading. And yes, I think he's entertaining. Obviously it's just his opinion - and at times I find his content rather biased and not well-researched - but generally I find his dry humour funny and his subjects topical and interesting. Clearly many others feel the same way. If that wasn't the case then he would have no one subscribing.

  1520.  @demetriusroy  How's that working flat earth map coming along? Any luck with that yet? Hmm, no didn't think so. How about a flat earth model that explains simple observations such as why we have two celestial poles, why Polaris is only seen from hemisphere or why we only ever see the moon from one angle. No luck there either? Gosh, what a surprise that is! Oh well, I guess it's just a load of crap then isn't it? Funny how all these things are trivially explained on a globe model isn't it?

They are not your original thoughts, it’s just nonsense you’ve picked up from equally clueless flat earthers and there is no point. However, you’ve made a direct claim that this is taken from Devon Island. Please provide evidence that this is the case.

  1529. Probably because they are the actions of a very tiny proportion of bad eggs among what is largely a peaceful protest. Why is it that detractors of this protest are so keen to smear the entire event with the brush of racism? It's lazy and most people see right through it.

  1530. Roger is an idiot. Aside from that, flat earthers could quite easily prove their nonsense “theory” - for instance by booking a trip to Antarctica - but it’s fairly obvious that they’re not actually interested in finding out truths, they are just contrarians who enjoy the false sense of being superior.
    1
  1531. Paul B it doesn’t actually say anything in the Bible about the Earth being flat - not specifically at least, only if you interpret it that way. But at any rate, the Bible should be treated for what it is, a spiritual guide and a record of the life and teachings of Jesus - not a scientific manual. It was written 1500 years before the invention of the telescope so why anyone would treat it as a scientific text book is truly beyond me.

  1537. " I'm 62 years old with B.S. degree" You have a degree in bullshit? That should make you an ideal candidate for being a flat earth believer then. "gravity has enough force to keep 1,450,000,000,000,000,000 tons of ocean water stuck to the earth, but a small bird can fly just feet off it's water surface" Maybe that's because water droplets don't have wings? Ever thought of that? What do you think would happen to the bird if it's wings fell off? It would fall down right? What mysterious force do you think might be responsible for that downward acceleration? "flying west to a any city should take half the time or even more" The atmosphere rotates with the Earth due to fluid dynamics; unless it's out in space, the plane is flying with the atmosphere. If you throw a paper plane in a train from one end to the other, then throw it back the other way, does your common sense tell you it will take the same amount of time despite the movement of the train? I'm sure you've had this explained to you a thousand times, which part don't you understand? "the many obvious NASA videos of astronauts faking zero gravity in space using CGI, green screens and harnesses" Except in every single case you never see a harness or any actual proof of any of those things, just some moron singling out clips, playing them over and over in slow mo and making claims about them "looking suspicious". To me the only thing obvious about them is that some people will literally believe anything they're told.
    1
  1538. Re: your first video. It doesn't actually show anything. It's an astronaut making some random hand movements over the course of a second or two, played on a loop over and over and someone making speculative claims that it exposes a hoax while in actuality it does nothing of the sort. I've seen that clip before by the way. Who knows what he's doing with his hands, maybe something too small to be seen on camera came floating by and he places it to the side? The second video is just nonsense. It's dressed up as a gotcha moment that "proves" they're using blue screens - that checkered screen was actually used in an another experiment which the flattards also jumped all over claiming it was a blue screen. If it was a blue screen, it would be BLUE - not with white squares all over it! Of all these videos that supposedly "prove" they use harnesses or chromakeys, how many of them actually show a harness, a wire or evidence of chromakeying? None, that's how many. Don't you think they at some point, with all these conspiritards poring over every frame of vision, that one of them would have found some actual evidence that speaks for itself without needing to dress it up with rhetoric?

  1551.  @TheGrenade187  Yep, that's about what I thought you'd say - dodge and weave, throw in an insult - anything to avoiding having to admit you don't have a reasonable answer. Predictably pathetic response from yet another flat earther unable to answer simple questions! I'm surprised you didn't say the answers are out there, I just need to "do my research".
    1
  1552. ​ @TheGrenade187  Yeah, I don't need to watch an Eric Dubay video thanks very much. Linking to a video by a known charlatan who talks piles of shit isn't going to help you. "Expand your mind" hahaha give me a break! Seeing as though you seem to be having trouble, here they are again : "According to your laughably stupid model, you have Polaris at the centre and all stars rotating around it, right? Ok so answer two simple questions : How is Polaris obscured by earth’s surface south of the equator when you’ve got direct line of sight to it? How can everyone in the Southern Hemisphere who looks due south any night of the year see constellations rotating around the southern celestial pole? " There is nothing difficult to understand about either of these questions. Lets see how you avoid answering them.
    1
  1553.  @TheGrenade187  "The north star can be observed from 23 degrees below your globe model middle section" Complete bullshit. I know Eric tells you that load of nonsense but there is no truth to that whatsoever. "You saying you dont have to watch Eric Dubay just shows a plain ignorance." Because he tells so many bare-faced lies. His claims of seeing Polaris from the Tropic of Capricorn is a case in point. Where's the evidence for that? There is none - because it's not true. If you stick to actual, verifiable facts there is nothing to support flat earth. If you have to resort to repeating lies then that says a fair bit doesn't it? "Your an idiot, plain and simple" It's "you're" So to sum up, out of two simple questions you answered one of them with a lie. You didn't touch the second one. At least you tried.

  1554. Got any evidence to support that drivel?
    1
  1555. Well I'm not surprised at all that the story wasn't picked up by mainstream media. If it's anything like the mainstream news here in Australia, it wouldn't be feeding into the fear mongering machine and therefore not worth reporting.
    1
  1556.  @kurts6278  being driven by fear isn’t thinking clearly, quite the opposite. For any young, healthy person the chance of becoming seriously ill from the Covid in its current form is very small. Hardly a deadly disease for someone not in a vulnerable category.
    1
  1557.  @zielonapapuga6754  yes they’re less afraid because they’ve either had it or know people that have had it and have seen first hand that it’s not that bad. For the vast majority it will be somewhere between a cold and flu and for many it won’t cause any symptoms whatsoever.
    1
  1558.  @kurts6278  for the overwhelming majority it’s only dangerous for really old people or the morbidly obese. For healthy people under 65 it’s just not rational to be afraid of this virus when you look at the statistics. I don’t have an issue with anyone getting a vaccine if they want it. But it should be a choice based on individual need, not something forced onto people in order to keep their jobs or to be included in society.
    1
  1559.  @kurts6278  if it’s between having a job or the alternative; having no job and not being able to afford to live then it’s being forced on you. Free choice pfft, what’s wrong with you?? Example : my wife has had Covid fairly recently and the evidence very much suggests that she has natural immunity that will be longer lasting than any protection afforded by the current vaccine booster she is being offered. Which, I might add, she now has to have in order to keep her job. She’s a manager, she’s very good at her job and she wants to keep it however she doesn’t want nor does she need a booster shot. So yes she has a choice of sorts - she can get injected with a vaccine she doesn’t want or need, or she can give up her job. Some f’ing choice that is! I don’t have a problem with vaccines being offered to people if they want them and they are satisfied the benefits outweigh the risks. But how about we stop treating adults like children and let them decide what’s best for their own bodies?
    1
  1560.  @kurts6278  how is being vaccinated going to protect vulnerable people? Explain that to me.
    1
  1561.  @kurts6278  it’s a simple question. How is being vaccinated against Covid going to protect vulnerable people? To clarify - I don’t mean the person getting it, I mean those around them.
    1
  1562. Anyway, long story short, she won’t be getting it and I fully support her decision because it’s utter nonsense to make her get it. It simply makes no sense. And with evidence building that repeated doses of mRNA vaccines (for which there is no data on long term effects - again, this is a fact not a conspiracy theory) is potentially dang-er-ous (excuse my attempts to bypass YouTube censorship), I feel quite vindicated in supporting her decision.

  1589.  @KangenAlec  I think maybe you meant the sun in front of the clouds ... which is just ridiculous and never happens. I’m in the Southern Hemisphere at 42 degrees S latitude and the days are getting long. According to the space pizza model with its flying spotlight sun, the sun is now over the Tropic of Capricorn and by necessity has to be going faster each day to complete its circuit. And yet it traverses the sky at 15 degrees per hour, the same as it does at any other time of the year no matter where it’s viewed from. How do you explain this?

  1593. iB McFly so basically she’s using an app on her phone which is giving her faulty information. The girl in that video has no clue.
    1
  1594. iB McFly and that’s good that you’re doing your own experiments, nothing wrong with that (although I’d suggest using the Bible as a scientific manual is probably giving you a bum steer given it was written 1500 years before the telescope was even invented). But here’s the thing - if flat earth can’t explain a simple observation like the southern celestial pole - which unequivocally tells us that we are seeing two axes of rotation on earth’s surface - then it’s a load of garbage. You can do all the experiments you want, if your hypothesis fails on such a fundamental and easily disproven level then it’s not worth pursuing.

  1597.  @astercite  I see. I was just wondering because I can't see any real reason to vaccinate a child against an illness that doesn't present a significant threat to them and when I've looked it up online I haven't seen any convincing information to justify it, even from official websites. If it stopped the virus from spreading then I could understand it but that's not the case. I don't think you're idiotic, I think there's a lot of fear out there, a lot of conflicting information and a lot of pressure on people to be seen to "do the right thing" even if it defies logic in some cases.

  1602. Personally, I'd be willing to concede that the moon landing conspiracy is true if it weren't for two major problems (which I don't believe they can explain). One is, the lunar modules were tracked all around the world. Can't really see how that was possible if it was faked. The other is the way the dust plumes behave exactly as they would in a vacuum in 1/6 of Earth's gravity. That would be a bit hard to fake pre-CGI. Of all the various points that they make that supposedly prove it was faked, there are always alternative explanations to account for them.

As my wife is a Christian I’ve gotten to know many church goers and many of them are quite intelligent, genuine people. Flat earth on the other hand is trivially easy to debunk and clearly not true.

  1608.  @marcmarc4776  if you want to look at it simplistically then sure. And I’d be the first to admit that a lot of it seems very hard to believe. The thing is you can’t actually disprove the existence of God. But you can disprove quite easily that we live on a giant pizza with a plate over it. That’s the difference. I personally don’t think it really matters if people want to believe in God. If it brings them comfort and makes them a nicer person, is it really a problem?

  1629. Chad Judd whether you say it backwards, forwards or sideways, your argument is possibly the stupidest one I’ve ever heard ... and I’ve heard a lot of dumb arguments from flat earthers so that’s really saying something.
    1
  1630. Chad Judd maybe stop calling people who disagree with you “demons” and you might be taken more seriously. Beyond that, learn a bit of entry level astronomy so you can see why your arguments aren’t worth responding to.

  1632.  @chadmichael5700  the sun rises in the east for everyone because of Earth’s rotation. I don’t think anyone really knows what your point is.
    1
  1633.  @chadmichael5700  How about you just stick to one point? The sun rising in the East and setting in the West is completely consistent with the fact that we view the sun from a rotating sphere. There is no reason the sun would rise in the West in China! Your argument is just stupid as everyone here as pointed out to you. Maybe you should just accept that it's a dumb argument and move on.

  1634.  @chadmichael5700  Um ... no you haven't given proof, you've made ridiculous, illogical claims that don't make one iota of sense.

  1654. Because what we’re dealing with now is going to be at worst like a flu for the vast majority. And that’s at worst - more likely you’ll have sniffles for a few days or no symptoms at all. Getting vaccinated doesn’t mean you won’t catch Covid as easily, there is no evidence for that. It may help lesson the severity and if you’re in a vulnerable category it may keep you out of hospital. But for anyone healthy and under the age of 65 … yeah, you probably don’t need it.

    1
  1663.  @rogerledwell5776  Eric Dubay huh? The yoga instructor who claims you can see Polaris from the Tropic of Capricorn ... I think that says a lot about his credentials. If you believe anything that almighty twit says then I feel sorry for you. Truth is I’ve watched that video you linked and it’s as laughably stupid as I thought it would be. For anyone with even a moderate knowledge of astronomy, it’s very obvious he’s talking out of his arse. Here’s the truth my friend, no flat earther can explain the southern star movements for the simple fact that it just doesn’t work!
    1
  1664.  @rogerledwell5776  and also this “human eyes can only see so far” comment is not relevant. We demonstrably see two points of stellar rotation, one seen in the northern hemisphere, the other in the southern hemisphere - there is no way to reconcile that with a flat earth model and no amount of linking to nonsense videos is going to change that, sorry.

  1665.  @rogerledwell5776  ok

    1
  1681. Murphy James you have no explanation for a lunar eclipse, it’s more an inconvenience than a waste of your time. To think a lunar eclipse is anything other than earth’s shadow on the moon, given that it only ever occurs during a full moon, is a sign of delusional thinking.

  1690. You are correct. It’s a false allegation. Majority of people don’t actually understand what doxxing is. To be guilty of doxxing it would need to proven that she has malicious intent and that the action led to harm or threatened him in some substantial way (saying “I’m scared” doesn’t count). The fact that she also didn’t reveal his address information and that his address was publicly available information would no doubt also make the doxxing charge fail if he took her to court.

  1691.  @therealstin2417  lol
    1
  1692.  @therealstin2417  your original comment is what’s known as a gish gallop. You’ve started out saying the video doesn’t look right and that’s fair enough - it struck me too that it looked weird but I think that’s just because the craft is falling very quickly and there’s not a whole lot of surface detail to give perspective to what you’re seeing. But hey, I’ll hear anyone out if they present actual evidence of fakery. But then you start reeling of a load of nonsense that you’ve clearly borrowed from a bunch of ridiculous YouTube videos without questioning them while simultaneously saying everyone else has simple minds. Maybe you’re just gullible? When you were “doing your research” did you stop and ask yourself whether what you were watching wasn’t just some cherry picked nonsense completely devoid of any substantiating evidence? Or is that just what us simple minded people do?

  1693.  @DR-nw7xn I know two people who dropped dead suddenly at a young age. In both cases it was a brain aneurysm. If it happened nowadays most of the people commenting here would be pointing at you-know-what but this happened many years before that. I was no fan of how this “medical intervention” was rolled out and the way it was coerced on to people who arguably didn’t need it (and this is still going on in some work places which is a disgrace in my opinion). However, statistically there is no evidence that excess deaths are caused by Covid vaccines. As much as some people might like to pin the blame, it’s just speculation and bias, it’s not based on any factual evidence.

  1694. Have you considered the possibility that’s it’s a reflection?

  1695. Dakota Black there is zero evidence that the sun is close to us. The reason you see “hot spots” over clouds is because the water vapour is reflecting the sun’s image. It’s as simple as that.

    1
  1701.  @Kilmoran  Personally I think the vast majority of them are trolls. They probably have next to no scientific knowledge but they are smart enough to know that they only have to repeat any of the flat earth nonsense arguments and they're guaranteed to get someone triggered enough to respond.
    1
  1702. Well he's a shock jock - just because he said some horrible things doesn't mean he actually meant them. I'm not a Howard Stern fan but I'm even less of a fan of yet another SJW trying to cancel someone because of something they once said. You will lose a lot of respect from this video.

  1705. Yes. But you don't need equations - the fact that we have two pole stars is a very clear indication that Earth isn't a flat plane. If you want proof - as much as science can "prove" anything - measure the angular height of whatever celestial pole you can see (that's roughly the position of Polaris in the northern hemisphere) using a phone app if you don't have a sextant and notice that it will match your latitude. Given that a degree of latitude is uniformly 111km from pole to pole (with a slight variance due to Earth's ellipsoid shape), this will only work on a sphere. That should of course be the end of the debate but flat earthers are apparently not bothered by things like factual evidence.

  1717.  @andrewsutherland133  belief in flat earth in modern times goes back to the 1800s but it was very much a fringe belief and never really took off until recently. We have the internet to thank for that. Having said that, I suspect a large proportion of so-called flat earth believers are actually just trolling. Genuine believers just don’t have the basics of scientific education to discern fact from fiction and likely have an emotional attachment to their belief system rather than one based on rational thought. As for whether flat earth was engineered as a way of discrediting conspiracy theories or whether it was an organic development is impossible to say but if it was engineered then it was very successful.

  1720. No one wants to talk about it but p**n has twisted the minds of young people. If I was a girl, I'd probably be scared too knowing what's considered normal behavior now. Plus dating apps are populated with creeps - I've heard very few success stories from dating app hookups. I can tell you, I've never used a dating app, rarely actively chased girls (and when I have it hasn't turned out well) but I've rarely been without a partner and I'm just an average looking man. My advice to younger guys is just don't be an a-hole, be respectful to girls, just be a decent human and they'll come to you. And if not, enjoy your freedom while it lasts.

  1741. I see a lot of butt hurt lefties here looking for someone to blame. It’s not Joe Rogan’s fault that Trump got in, he succeeded because he was the candidate whose message connected with the most voters. End of story. If you’re looking for someone to blame, here’s a few suggestions. You had a candidate who couldn’t say anything of substance beyond her prepackaged sound bites and people didn’t see her as being genuine. Also, people are sick to death of having identity politics rammed down their throats when they are facing real world problems like not being able to afford to eat. Whether you like it or not, Trump’s appointment was the will of the majority. Rather than blame a podcaster, you people need to take a good hard look at where you went wrong.

  1743. I don't consider myself an anti-vaxxer but I held off getting the two jabs for as long as I could - but I have to say the pressure of feeling like a social outcast got to me in the end. Well, that and the fact that I didn't really want to get hospitalized from Delta. I'm now a week into living in close quarters with my wife who has Covid and I still have no symptoms. I probably could have gone with my gut and trusted my immune system as it turns out. But anyway, the real question is should governments have the right to tell us what we put in our bloodstreams. I think the answer to that should be fairly obvious.

  1750. It's hilarious how people like this are so quick to say he's an irrelevant conspiracy theorist and no threat, and here they are putting out endless videos about him. Obviously they do care and people like him and Joe Rogan, etc. are most definitely a threat. The distrust of mainstream news has become widespread since 2020 and will likely never recover. I believe this is the real reason they are trying so hard to bring him down. Clearly, there is a global push to stamp out alternative voices, all wrapped up in the usual "its for your own safety" bullshit. To deny this is happening is laughable.

  1759.  @albertchehade9916  There is a difference between an antivaxxer and someone who is vaccine-hesitant, especially in regards to a vaccine that uses technology not used in vaccines before and for which there is no long-term safety data. The fact is most people would choose to get it anyway because no one in their right mind wants to get seriously ill. But when governments and pharmaceutical companies are not honest about the safety of these products while simultaneously forcing people to have it, you can't blame some people for being a suspicious. At any rate, the likely trajectory of Covid is that it will weaken over time in pathogenicity and will be treated like the common cold. Flus and colds have been bowling people over for centuries, Covid will be no different.

But if you want to call that a win and continue waffling on, be my guest. I don't care what you believe or are pretending to believe. I'd say you've got way too much time on your hands if this is what passes for entertainment in your retirement (that's if you even were a CEO which is doubtful).

  1771.  @DawnDin  I deleted my previous response because it was a bit rude and while I have very little time for flattard nonsense, I apologize for being disrespectful and assuming you do actually believe this crap, I will respond to your points. Facts 1 and 2 are correct. "Fact" 3 is highly questionable. Yes, you can see often see a bit further than the purely geometric dimensions of Earth would allow due to the refractive properties of our atmosphere, particularly over bodies of water where this effect is heightened - but "much" further? Hmm, I don't know about that. All flat earth videos supposedly showing this are over distances rarely beyond 30 miles which isn't that far and in virtually all cases there is no allowance given for atmospheric refraction, and details regarding distances shown and height above sea level are sketchy at best. I have genuinely examined many of these myself and found this to always be the case. Fact 4 "Every body of water seeks its own level" isn't a fact, it's a meaningless flat earth mantra. "There is no scientific method proof anywhere which disproves this statement" is complete nonsense. Celestial navigation for example, which has it's foundations in scientific fact even though it has a practical use, demonstrates beyond any doubt that Earth is a sphere. If you want to argue that Earth isn't a sphere, then explain why we have two celestial poles 180 degrees apart. Good luck with that.

The fact that you're repeating this nonsense claim allegedly from personal experience tells me that you are indeed a liar. If it were true then it would be trivially easy to prove. Funny how no flat earther has been able to demonstrate it isn't it? Why is that do you think?

  1818. I’ve asked questions of the flat earth “model” and none of it makes any sense. So I guess that’s that then : it’s a load of nonsense. As for your last statement, the reason any mathematical calculation is going to “assume a flat, non rotating earth” is because these variables are superfluous to getting a correct result, it’s not an admission of anything.

  1819. Ben Steer oh no I understand it alright. I debunked flat earth in about 30 seconds and I’ve been poking fun at it ever since. It’s just ridiculous. Why would I need to debunk the globe when it clearly explains a whole host of observations. It’s the only model that stands up to scrutiny. It’s pretty clear that flat earthers can’t defend their silly little snow globe - whenever you push them to explain why things don’t add up they will always start changing the subject or resorting to insults - so that’s why they put all their focus on trying to debunk the globe model. Problem is they have lie and cherry pick in order to do it. That says it all really.

I'm not a medical expert but unlike 95% of the armchair experts you get commenting on social media, I can acknowledge that those working in the hospitals who are saying this is a serious problem probably have more of an idea than some keyboard warrior with no medical training who is suddenly a renowned virologist - and I'm guessing you're in the latter category right? What do you think is going to happen if this gets out of control and hospital beds are no longer available?

  1873.  @zaynevanbommel5983  "what about the thousands of doctors and nurses who are telling us that the Coronia virus is not as deadly as the Government and fake news media are telling us ! " Thousands? I've heard quite a few saying it's also a major problem. So who do you believe? I think the situation is more nuanced than that. It seems to effect some regions badly, others not so much. Yes, the mortality rate has been less than what was predicted but my understanding that was based on a worst case scenario such as what was seen in Italy for example. It's not the virus itself that is so deadly - if you get it, chances are you will probably be fine even if the symptoms are initially severe - it's what happens when hospital beds run out. Then you get people being left to die. "Why was the 40.000 protest of BLM allowed to march under the lock down with zero consequences in Victoria ?" Well I'm not part of the Victorian government so I can't comment on that.

    1
  1886.  @objectivityworldview  Well for a start you're using the wrong formula. You're also basing this on a purely geometric basis which would be fine if Earth didn't have an atmosphere but it does. If you want to use math as your basis, try this on for size. The angular height of either celestial pole (which points at Polaris in the northern hemisphere) will always match your latitude. This would work on both a flat earth model and globe at the north pole where it would be 90 degrees (ie. directly above your head). But as you move south the math for this would fall apart on a flat earth model. You would soon find that your measurements, assuming Earth was flat, gave the result that Polaris was at an infinitely different series of heights. On a globe model with Polaris a great distance away, there is no discrepancy. I have only described this in vague terms. For a more thorough explanation check out this link : https://flatearthinsanity.blogspot.com/2016/10/ and scroll about a third of the way down to "How Polaris Can Be Used To Confirm A Spherical Earth". It's fairly cut and dry, Earth isn't flat - as much as you might like it to be for whatever reason.
    1
  1887.  @objectivityworldview  no I’m not denying anything. And given you just flatly ignored an easy proof of earths sphericity tells me that you are the one who’s in denial (not that this is any surprise).
    1
  1888.  @objectivityworldview  If you knew what the scientific method was you wouldn't be talking complete bollocks. The scientific method would require the flat earth "hypothesis" to at the very least have a working model. Further to this it would need to be able to make testable predictions. And further to that it would need to falsify the accepted model of Earth and demonstrate that it could produce more accurate predictions. This is of course predicated on having a working model to begin with which flat earthers have not been able to produce so baseless claims is the best they can do. Now, I've already given you verifiable proof that Earth can only be a sphere which you have duly ignored so unless you have something of any substance to add then I was just assume you're another garden variety troll.
    1
  1889.  @objectivityworldview  making claims and sticking “verified” at the end doesn’t make it true. I hope that was a cut and paste job and you didn’t actually waste your time thinking about that garbage. So which flat earth model correctly demonstrates why everyone in the Southern Hemisphere who looks south at night sees the same constellations rotating around the southern celestial pole? Hmmm, that one’s a bit of a problem for you flatties isn’t it? Which flat earth model correctly demonstrates why we see the same side of the moon, even for two observers standing thousands of miles apart? Which flat earth model explains why Polaris disappears below the horizon south of the equator? If it’s at the centre of this dome then we should all have direct line of sight to it - how is it possible that it’s being obscured by Earth’s surface? These are a few actual verifiable observations. Asking for a flat earth model to explain them is rhetorical of course - we both know that no such model exists. Yet very easily explained by the fact that we live on a globe, as any non-delusional, mildly intelligent person can easily ascertain.
    1
  1890.  @objectivityworldview  there’s not much to negate, you’ve just made a bunch of unsubstantiated claims - which is of course all you can do when what you’re saying is complete nonsense. On the other hand I have given you a number of verifiable facts that completely obliterate your snow globe fantasy which you’ve ignored. Well, of course you’ve ignored them - you’re a flat earther, that’s what flat earthers do : you demand proof and then you ignore it. On that note, I’ve got better things to do than waste my time with an idiot so see ya later.

    1
  1907.  @Gimo76  It's a bit of a stretch to say Youtube are censoring flat earth videos. They altered their search algorithm so that misinformation channels don't appear on people's recommended viewing lists which is why when you search for flat earth you see debunking channels only. The majority of those videos are still there, you just need to look a bit harder. The only reason flat earth channels are getting removed is if they're breaking Youtube policy guidelines - hate speech for instance or COVID misinformation which may be deemed potentially harmful. Slight change of subject, ask yourself this - if the moon is a small, local object why is it that we only see if from one angle? If it's close, two people standing a few thousand kilometers apart would see it from noticeably different angles but this never happens. The moon is always seen from the exact same angle no matter where it's viewed from. Does this make any sense to you?
    1
  1908.  @Gimo76  "YouTube stated they were taking down all Flat Earth videos" No I don't believe that's true. What I said before is accurate. They altered their search algorithm to not promote misinformation channels. And flat earth channels are firmly in that category! "In an ancient writing it states that God made two lights a greater light for the day and a lesser light for the night. They are both the same size and I have taken pics of both and see it." And? How does that explain why we only see one face of the moon if it's supposedly a local, small object? Obviously if this were the case then that would easily be observable. But if we only see it from one angle then it's not a local, small object is it. This is pretty simple logic. "This is getting silly we have so much more to deal with her than flat earth so what it doesn’t make any difference if we believe or not" That may be so but let's stick to one subject and not get side-tracked with talk about vaccines. It's really not relevant. I agree, in the scheme of things it doesn't really matter what either of us believes except that what you believe is obvious nonsense and I'm trying to make you see sense. "No one has answered my question on how can sun and moon be sometimes in the clouds?" I answered it before. It's not in front of the clouds, it's just the way camera sensors deal with bright objects causing over-exposure making it appear as thought it's in front of the clouds. I mean, come on, if that were the case then aircraft would regularly be at the same height as the sun. You're not really that silly are you?

  1910. It’s not in the Bible though. Can you cite which passage specifically says Earth is flat? No, didn’t think so.

  1911. Yes people can believe what they want. But once they start calling it factual in a public forum they are opening themselves up to be shot down. Flat earthers are actively trying to shit all over centuries of scientific advancement so f*%k them.

  1912.  @nosuchthing8  I don’t think anyone needs to prove it, it’s well known at this point that vaccinations don’t stop transmission. Studies have shown that it makes no difference whether you are vaccinated or not, if it wasn’t already obvious. Here in Tasmania we had no Covid until they opened the borders and vaccinated people on planes started arriving. The state was soon inundated with cases. I’m sure if the government could have blamed that on unvaccinated people they would’ve jumped at the opportunity. But no, it was vaccinated people. Now it would be silly of me to claim that vaccinated people are solely responsible for putting vulnerable people at risk here in Tasmania but I’ve seen similarly ludicrous accusations levelled at unvaccinated people.

  1925. Paul Rodney a lot of errors in the ball model? What errors would they be? Speaking of errors, have you looked at the flat earth model lately?
    1
  1926. Paul Rodney a zoom lens might be able to resolve a smaller boat that you can’t make out with the naked eye but once something has gone below the horizon, no amount of zooming in on it will make it come back. I don’t know why you people insist on saying that, it’s just not true. If your theory is based on lies then it’s not much of a theory is it? I don’t know what bridge you’re referring to but if it was constructed in segments, which Is more than likely the case, earth’s curvature would not need to be factored in. There are bridges that have had to take earth’s curvature into account - but let’s just ignore those ones will we? Can’t have any inconvenient truths interfering with our fantasies can we??

  1927. Paul Rodney thanks for that meaningless non-answer
    1
  1928. Paul Rodney I swear if there was an Olympic sport for goal post shifting you people would be world champions. You made a claim that objects don’t go below the horizon, that you just need to zoom in on them to bring them back - now you’re back peddling. Why is that? Could it be something to do with the complete lack of evidence to back it up by any chance?
    1
  1929. Paul Rodney learning is great, just don’t get your information from dodgy con artists on YouTube and you’ll be fine
    1
  1930. Paul Rodney it’s funny how you twits are always saying there’s all these problems with the heliocentric model but I’m still waiting to hear what those problems are. Yet you’ve got a model of earth which is riddled with glaring flaws but none of you ever seem willing to talk about that. As Jeran famously said, “interesting”.
    1
  1931. Paul Rodney you made some bogus claims that supposedly show we don’t live on a sphere - and as I’ve pointed out, repeating lies about zoom lenses isn’t exactly convincing - but as far as I can see you haven’t pointed out any issues with the heliocentric model (ie. all planets orbit the sun). Flat earthers are always going on about all these “flaws” and how they know the heliocentric model so much better than anyone else. So go on then, what are all these flaws?

  1932. Paul Rodney I’m glad. If my dad was a flat earther I would be ashamed.

  1933.  @khirywashington371  people are saying earth is flat either because they’re trolling or they’re just woefully gullible.

  1934.  @khirywashington371  I’ve studied astronomy, I’ve verified what I’ve learnt with my own eyes - things that are impossible on a flat earth but make perfect sense on a globe. That’s enough for me. You don’t need to be a scientific genius to see how daft it is.

  1935.  @sindrenygaard4875  interesting how none of you can decide which country it’s in ..
    1
  1936. I assumed from what you wrote that you believe the Earth is flat. If I was too hasty in my assessment then I apologise. Experiments performed around 2000 years ago showed the Earth to be a sphere. Every proper scientific study since has shown this to be true. You are confusing belief in a geocentric universe with the belief that the Earth is flat. Geocentricism was abolished around 500 years ago, not belief in a flat earth. Even geocentricists knew that Earth was a sphere but chose to believe we were the centre of the universe purely for religious reasons.

  1937. Step away from the crack pipe ...

  1938. Yes to some extent you are correct. But c’mon, anyone with even a moderate degree of intelligence and general scientific knowledge can debunk flat earth in seconds. If believing the earth is flat isn’t stupid then I don’t know what is. Call a spade a spade.

  1946. There are no contradictions, some people just get hung up on the “pear” analogy and think earth should look noticeably fatter - when what the science actually tells us is that the variation is minuscule cosmically speaking. For some reason this is a concept that some people can’t seem to wrap their heads around even though it’s really not that hard to comprehend.

  1947.  @Liliquan  "pro-Campbell mouth frothing seizures" - I have no idea what you're talking about.

Imagine being so driven by bitterness that you spend your life consumed with making videos about someone.

  1953. I don’t think it’s the fault of scientists for not stopping the flat earth movement, for reasons you’ve pointed out, but it does highlight the need for better scientific education. Sadly though, this is only going to be a band aid solution. The fact is that these ideas stem more from distrust of authority figures. In fact I think science is just a generic scapegoat for these people’s fear and loathing of the world around them. The only consolation in all of this is that while centuries of scientific achievements are collectively shat upon by these mental leprechauns, on the flip side it will awaken a scientific curiosity in others who are spurred on to find out how it is that we’ve come to know things. Because flat earth, while being enormously stupid, does ask an interesting question - how much of what we accept as truth is merely what we’ve been told to believe?

  1954. Notice how all these morons screaming fake can’t back their drivel up with actual evidence?

  1955. No he’s right, if you’ve watched debates you can have two sides debating a nonsense subject and there will still be a winner based on who was the most entertaining / charismatic speaker. It doesn’t mean they’re right though. Flat earth isn’t a debate, it’s just a pointless slanging match on YouTube that will never be “won” per se, it will just drag on until eventually it will lose its vogue status and all the red-faced dumb arses who fell for it will be left meekly begging for attention.
    1
  1956. Aitch Dee it’s a stupid conspiracy theory. From the outset, the idea that “they”, whoever “they” might be, would want to hide earth’s shape is ridiculous. The idea that millions of people in the world whose job relies the knowledge / physics of a spherical planet, have at some point been tapped on the shoulder and told “it’s actually not a sphere but you must not tell anyone!” Is beyond stupid. The fact that some people have been conned into believing this ridiculous nonsense despite the complete lack of real evidence beyond some Youtube idiot’s hand waving and rhetoric is a very sad state of affairs. Despite virtually all the world’s knowledge being at one’s fingertips, we truly are in the Age of Stupidity.

  1957. Aitch Dee or maybe he’s just got better things to talk about than some idiotic conspiracy theory that will lead to nothing?

  1958. Aitch Dee he talks about all sorts of stuff. If I was in his position I would ignore you idiots as well. He’s a scientist - flat earth has nothing to do with science.

  1959. Aitch Dee also, regarding your pear comment, if you bothered to watch the actual interview instead of the usual cherry picked garbage that flat earthers are renowned for, you would know that he never said earth was literally shaped like a pear.

  1961.  @timneilson5812  I’ve seen pictures of the far side of the moon. Have you bothered to actually look it up? As for your mud floods, have you considered the possibility that the reason they weren’t reported is because they never happened?
    1
  1962.  @timneilson5812  I think it’s fairly likely that they were constructed that way for a purpose - although I’m not a builder nor am I an architectural historian. However, if this worldwide mud flood actually happened there would be more evidence that just a few old buildings with their lower floors submerged, there would be sedimentary evidence, not to mention excavation sites uncovering previously unknown structures, roads, etc. And no written record for an event that was relatively recent? Come on, that’s just not believable.

Smart phones have created a generation of attention-deficient zombies who are completely addicted to staring at their phones and when it's permeated almost every aspect of society, trying to rally against it is literally like pissing in the wind. I say that as a parent who struggled for years to convince my kids to take a break from their technology, to go outside, learn an instrument, read a book - basically anything other than staring at their bloody devices all day - and I can tell you it was a constant battle that I eventually had to admit that I'd lost.

  1998. American hospitals, as I understand it, are financially incentivised to record deaths as Covid related so if a Covid positive patient comes in with a gun shot wound for example and they die, they are recorded as a Covid death. And with a highly contagious (albeit relatively harmless) virus, chances are a lot of people turning up in their hospitals will be Covid positive.

  1999.  @KangenAlec  I believe what they are referring to is the different constellations compared to what’s seen in the northern hemisphere - and the fact that they rotate around a point due south - you know, all that stuff that flat earthers haven’t been able to explain ...

There are other ways to avoid getting Covid and younger, healthy people are not at risk of dying of Covid - forcing it on people or punishing them for making a choice for their own body is unethical in my opinion - and I'm not alone.

You're entitled to your opinion of course but maybe you need to take into consideration the massive red flags that this is raising up. I find it difficult to comprehend your point of view.

    1
  2019.  @Dxyze  The potential for abuse, the very idea that we need governments to dictate what is true and what's not, censorship of debate, vagaries in the wording, etc. And who gets to decide what is true and what's not? How is that going to implemented? There are many examples of so-called "disinformation" that were censored by tech companies at the behest of governments that turned out to be true. The freedom to discuss and debate ideas, even wrong ones, is central to democracy. Once measures are put in place to stifle that, it's a very dangerous and slippery slope.
    1
  2020.  @Dxyze  My comments keep disappearing so I give up. I hope you're right about this but basically the potential for this bill to be abused is an afront to the very ideals of democracy and I fear we are being led down a very slippery slope.

  2022. There are easier ways. Why hasn’t one single one of these flat earth morons gone to Antarctica to prove the non-existence of the midnight sun there? It’s pretty obvious that they aren’t really interested in proving anything, they just want to call everything fake and annoy people.

  2025.  @KangenAlec  when you’re a tiny, tiny minority claiming that 2000 years of scientific consensus is wrong then I’d say you have some responsibility to prove that what you’re saying is true.

  2041. Juan De La Suerte yes sure you can zoom in on a small boat that you might not be able to resolve with your naked eye - nothing too surprising about that - but if you see a larger ship disappear below the horizon, no amount of zooming in on it is going to bring it back into view.

  2042. Juan De La Suerte hmm I don’t think so. If you believe a zoom lens can perform magic tricks like that then I’m afraid your delusional.
    1
  2043. Juan De La Suerte QED has summed it up nicely. All I’m going to say is, if you genuinely believe this crap, be wary of flat earth videos. The people that make these things are playing you for a fool.
    1
  2044. Juan De La Suerte there are a multitude of ways to tell that Earth is a sphere. One of the most obvious is that we know the distance between any two points on Earth, verified every single day by a massive intercontinental transport network that relies on those navigational coordinates being correct, and those distances will only conform to a globe. It’s that simple. You can easily check this for yourself by comparing flight times with two locations at similar latitudes either side of the equator. They will always be roughly the same. Why do you think no flat earther has ever produced a simple 2D map? It’s because they know it’s not possible and whenever backed into a corner to explain that you will always get a tirade of excuses. There are other ways as well but that’s one of the most obvious. All this flat earth stuff is complete nonsense. Basically their only playing card is the fact that sometimes you can see further than than is geometrically possible but this is assuming light travels in a straight line when we know that it doesn’t. The whole flat earth movement is underpinned by pretending that atmospheric refraction of light doesn’t exist. If you’re sitting on the fence I recommend you stop watching flat earth videos and maybe watch some good debunking videos - Cool Hard Logic does a good job of highlighting how all the maths doesn’t add up. Professor Dave Explains also does a good job of highlighting how ridiculous the whole thing is.
    1
  2045. Are the numbers rising though? My guess is most flat earthers are just trolls.
    1

  2052. @@brandonblop if it turns out to be true then the victims deserve justice. But this tv program, with a deliberate agenda to tell a certain story, supposedly interviewed over a thousand women - it’s not a big stretch of the imagination that they could find four who are willing to stretch the truth a bit under the veil of anonymity. Maybe they were burnt when they realised they were just another one of his conquests and 15 years later they think, you know what fuck this guy, I’m gonna mess his life up. Women can be nasty and I’ve been on the receiving end of false accusations myself so I know first hand how it can happen. Obviously this is speculation but either way, the presumption of innocence is a right that should be afforded to everyone no matter who you are. And the women have a right to be believed as well. I hope the truth prevails.

  2061.  @haxie4516  not under fair use rules. Whether or not you think reaction videos are valid, provided they are transformative in some way, then you can use other people’s content.
    1
  2062.  @thebearer8904  yeah I’m not saying her content isn’t lazy however the rules around what constitutes as transformative is subjective and kind of vague.
    1
  2063.  @haxie4516  well … fair use certainly does apply here and technically what she does is within the bounds of fair use rules. You may not like it but she didn’t make those rules or create the genre. If she’s a thief then so is every other YouTuber doing reaction videos. So what do you do, ban them all? Rewrite the rules? At that point it’s not so much about what Lia Shelesh is doing, it’s a much wider problem - which is why I think this little witch hunt that’s going on with this woman is a little unfair, regardless of what she might be like as a person. The way I see it, she has jumped on a band wagon and found an easy way to make money. I personally think it’s drivel and not worth watching but for whatever reason millions of people find it entertaining. Go figure. But she’s not really hurting anyone and technically not doing anything wrong. And then you get this Jack character who is basically jealous of her because he creates original content and thinks it’s unfair so he appoints himself as the content police and basically starts harassing her. His beef should be with the regulations around fair use - which would be a noble cause but he never should’ve targeted an individual YouTuber like that.

  2066.  @haxie4516  are you liking your own comments?? Anyway thanks for keep your reply under three sentences. Fifteen words or less is preferable. Fair use laws are complicated and nebulous so I don’t see how I can be “objectively incorrect”. But I’m happy to be proven wrong - but just saying “you’re wrong” makes me think that you don’t actually have an argument. In Lia Shelesh’s instance I would say she skirts dangerously close to theft but is within the bounds of fair use. Explain to me why it’s theft (in 15 words or less otherwise I won’t read it).

You keep saying it like it's meant to mean something but you haven't explained how it relates. Just typing words and then saying "so you're wrong" isn't really demonstrating that you really know what you are talking about (and my strong suspicion is that you don't have the first clue but I'm happy to be proven wrong).

Until you dickheads come up with a reasonable explanation for this - and by reasonable I don’t mean some ad hoc theory pulled out of someone’s arse - then you’re flat earth theory is just a silly little fantasy that no one is going to take seriously.

And I think there is some merit in countering this sort of abysmal ignorance. But I suspect for most people, no matter what side they’re on, it’s just an excuse to belittle others online purely for the fun of it. It’s a symptom of a society that largely has their day to day needs catered for and have nothing better to do than argue over ridiculous subjects.

  2101. Bruno Mora the globe isn’t a theory, it’s about as close to being an indisputable fact as you can get given that literally all observable evidence corresponds with this fact. There are a tonne of things that we see that simply wouldn’t happen if Earth wasn’t a sphere. For example, two celestial poles - a verifiable, indisputable fact, unexplained by any flat earth model but easily explained by the fact that we live on a globe. I could keep listing more but something tells me I’d be wasting my time.
    1
  2102. Bruno Mora you don’t know what I mean by celestial pole do you? Look it up and then get back to me when you find a flat earth model that explains why everyone in the Southern Hemisphere sees the southern celestial pole in the same direction. I’ll wait.

  2125. Drum Corps Bear yeah ok but most of the theories that flat earthers “question” are just the ones that conflict with their world view. That’s not questioning, that’s just being contrarian. Plus it’s pretty obvious that most of them aren’t interested in any answers given. I agree with you - it’s healthy to question science, in fact good science demands it, but I think you’re giving way too much credence to flat earthers’ reasoning capacity. Basically unless it ends with “therefore earth is flat” they aren’t interested.

  2129. Drum Corps Bear I could go to the trouble of listing all the ways that observable reality matches the known fact that we live on a globe and, similarly, all the ways that the flat earth model is an obvious pile of crap ... but why bother? I mean really, what’s the point? Flat earth is just a stupid YouTube debate, it’s of absolutely no consequence in the real world.

But yes you’re right, you can’t shut a flat earther up. Doesn’t matter how many times they get proven wrong, they just keep dodging and weaving like the intellectually dishonest vermin that they are.

  2142.  @scottmerrow1488  "No flat earther "deny's science", we use real science to expose pseudo science." Such a load of shit Scott. What you actually do is ignore all the science that doesn't agree with your silly little theory and call it fake. "Earth appears flat and motionless to the scientific observer" You mean just the observer. Adding "scientific" doesn't add weight to your nonsense sorry. According to you, your "scientific observer" would also think electricity is magic and viruses are actually evil spirits just because they can't see them. What you actually mean is Earth appears flat and motionless to you because you've never bothered to properly fact check the bullshit that you've been conned into thinking is real. If you understood what real science is, you wouldn't be here trying to defend your nonsense belief. "This video existing, and your army of internet damage control mong, are evidence that A) you people are triggered and have no lives OR B) you are paid by the de facto world gov't mentioned above." And yet here you are, obviously triggered, commenting on a anti-flat earth video. What was that you were saying about having no life? Scott, no one is paid to comment on flat earth videos. You are forgetting C) some people don't want to stand idly by while a bunch of scientifically illiterate morons attempt to drag humanity back to the stone age and D) laughing at stupid people is a time honoured tradition.

    1
  2152.  @Scoresbyhassan  it only takes half a brain to realise that none of what flat earthers claim makes any sense. Simple deduction of observable evidence clearly indicates that we do in fact live on a spherical planet. If you want an example, the celestial sphere is one.
    1
  2153.  @Scoresbyhassan  it’s not imaginary, it’s directly observable and makes perfect sense when viewed from a spherical planet and makes absolutely zero sense if earth is a pancake. So what does that tell you?
    1
  2154. Am I deflecting? I thought I was answering your question. It’s observable by moving around the globe. The stars we see demonstrably appear as a sphere around us. This is an astronomical fact. It’s fairly easy to explain in terms of viewing from a spherical planet, how does this work on a flat earth?

However, while she might've done the wrong thing by posting images of his house, he did create a channel about her completed dedicated to putting her down. Some might call that "critique", I call it obsessive cyber-bullying. And I tell you what, if someone was doing that to me and I knew where they lived, I'd be paying them a visit as well! At least she had the courage to go and stand up to him. She might've gone about it in a stupid way but she succeeded in making him look like a frightened, nerdy little b-tch so good on her for that I say. Having said that, I couldn't care less about either of them. Just dumb kids looking for attention.

  2178. Yeah, my father in law passed away suddenly a year ago at 79 and I have thought, 'well done mate, you checked out at a good time'. The world has become a seemingly dark and sinister place. Maybe it's always been like that, it just wasn't so obvious. My advice, for what it's worth, if you are finding all of this hard to bear, do things that take your mind off the world. For me that's going for a walk and playing music. And find people in real life that you can talk to. Personally I find reading comments from the online community can be equally alarming - and possibly alarmist. I find that a digital detox now and then is helpful. I think it's also worth bearing in mind that we have become somewhat soft in the modern era because we're not used to potentially deadly viruses circulating around. In the middle of last century and before, it was not uncommon for people to die young from various illnesses that nowadays we don't have to worry about. People had large families with the understanding that one or two kids probably wouldn't make it past 5. That was just normal life - unthinkable now.

  2179. I appreciate Avi’s work as an independent journalist but I’m on the fence with this one. I’ve worked in tv for quite a while and editing down an interview to fit within an allocated time is de rigueur in this industry. I’d have to see the whole uncut interview - if his words are being rearranged and taken out of context then that’s out of line but if they just edited out the fluff to cut to the chase then that’s totally expected.

  2181.  @stevehesh4993  Well I'm sure you could look that up for yourself. The stats on this from many, many studies done all around the world clearly show an increased risk over the age of 65. My parents are elderly, they have had boosters and they are fine. Would I prefer they didn't need them? Absolutely - but I also recognize that the risk from the jab for them is smaller than the risk of getting seriously ill.

  2182. It’s not just mainstream media saying that though. I’m not like some vaccine zealot who thinks everyone should run out and get it, far from it, but the evidence is pretty clear that if you’re over a certain age and/or have significant health issues you are statistically far more likely to end up hospitalized if you get Covid. So if she’s 92 and wants to get vaccinated, don’t you think you should just let her make her own choice?

  2197. Richard Howlett well if you’re convinced that every photo of earth from space is fake then I don’t imagine anything will change your mind. But I know of at least two ISS astronauts that have published photo books of Earth from low earth orbit, all taken with a normal camera. A lot of these photos are easily viewable online (maybe not the originals but you can always buy the book).

  2198. Richard Howlett a couple of years ago I had the pleasure of watching the ISS go past through some pretty decent binoculars, enough to make out it’s distinctive shape. I used a website which calculated its orbital trajectory to tell me, based on my location, precisely when it would appear and exactly where to look. Hundreds of thousands of people have done this. So there is really no doubt that the ISS is a satellite orbiting the Earth. As for whether people are on there or not, well when there is some actual evidence that they’re not then I will take that into consideration. Until then, I have no reason to think otherwise. It helps not being retarded, you should try it some time.

  2204. Richard Howlett there is no proof that NASA footage is faked, it’s just something that you choose to believe. For every 1 second of footage that some conspiracy nut has looped, slowed down and zoomed in on while claiming to see things things that aren’t actually there or failing to consider any other explanation, there are entire 10 minute clips that can’t possibly have been faked which people like yourself conveniently ignore. Check out Tim Peake’s dizziness experiment for example and explain to me how that was faked. As for your cringey flat earth bullshit, you know the entire surface of our planet has been surveyed down to centimetres right? These distances are all verified every single day by a massive transport network that rely on them to get from a to b accurately. So what shape do you think these distances might conform to. Is it a) a sphere or b) a giant space pizza? I’ll give you a hint, it’s not b.

"No going beyond Earth's low "orbit" Apart from the Apollo Etc. etc. Basically everything you've said is easily debunked and is based on your personal incredulity. Good luck with your conspiracies. Bye.

  2207.  @richardhowlett8908  "Time wasting knob" If I'm wasting your time, why are you bothering to respond? "On a 25000 miles globe there must be 8 inch per mile squared, testable, observable, provable curvature in all directions. You don't have that. " What about when things dip below the horizon from a distance. I would have thought that was fairly obvious. Are you going to tell me that if I zoom in on them they'll come back into view? Because no one with a functioning brain believes that crap. "only NASA show a curve" And multiple other space agencies. Guess they're all in on it hey? "you say we have photographs of Earth from space. To repeat myself yet again, we don't. " And you've personally examined each one have you? "Every google image is CGI, a composite or a painting andnif you click on any of them, they admit it." No they don't. That's nonsense. "if you believe anyone has ever gone south across the Antarctic and then north up the other side, then you are very much wrong. Go waste your own time researching it."

On numerous occasions NASA have said right now, that is the furthest we can go" No, they have never said that. Why would they say that?? That is just beyond stupid. Do you believe everything you see on flat earth videos? Because that's all you're doing - just parotting a load a flattard bullshit!

  2211. Richard Howlett all jokes aside, I just don’t care. I know the clip you’re referring to and like all flat earth and fake space nonsense it’s just misleading cherry picked bullshit. I’m sorry that you’re so gullible that you fall for all this stuff. If you honestly believe half the stuff you’ve written here then I hope for your sake that one day you wake up to yourself and how ridiculous all this is. I mean that quite sincerely. Good luck.

  2212. Richard Howlett the difference between us is I haven’t been brainwashed. You watched a few flat earth videos and you don’t have the educational background to discern fact from fiction. That’s why you believe this stupid shit. That’s the only reason. But like I said, I hope one day you wake up to how ridiculous this whole thing is and in the mean time I’d like to give you a life tip : whatever you do, don’t tell anyone you believe this crap! - trust me on that one.

  2214. Richard Howlett nope not admitting defeat. I studied astronomy at uni, I’ve been an amateur astronomer since I was 10. I’m well familiar with how simple observations show beyond any reasonable doubt that we live on a sphere. I just don’t see the point in discussing these simple facts with someone like yourself. I can see that you’re well versed in flattard “facts” even though it’s all complete rubbish so no matter what I say, you’ll just counter it with some bullshit. And around and around we go. What’s the point of that? You seem to have a need to win this argument. If that’s so important to you, fine. You win. Good for you. In the mean time, I don’t care about your juvenile snow globe fantasy, the vast majority of the world’s population doesn’t care, to the scientific community you’re just a joke - basically no one gives a shit about flat earth or the nonsense ignorance-based arguments that support it because anyone with a brain can easily see there is no proof for any of it. If you can’t produce a simple 2D map or a working model that correlates with actual reality then the whole thing is just a clearly a load of shit. So we’ll done, give yourself a pat on the back. You’ve won. Now get off YouTube and go and be a flattard hero by being the first one to prove that it’s true.

  2215.  @michellecardenas6072  people are just scared and have endured two years of being told they might die which, while statistically unlikely, was a real threat. There is so much conflicting information out there and most of us aren’t medical professionals so the clear choice for most people is to follow the medical advice they’re given. That doesn’t make them idiotic and frankly calling them that is unhelpful. There is enough division in the world.

  2240. Just a heads up, if you want people to visit your collection of nonsense videos, you need to turn comments on. You have to be realistic and accept that very few people actually bother watching flat earth videos, it's all about the comment section where people can go and make fun of stupid people.

  2241. You can actually but you need an IQ at least in double digits which rules flat earthers out from understanding it.

  2242. Michael Hämmerle if you want to be strictly scientific about it, no you can’t “prove” it. But the alternative, that the entire universe revolves around us in unwieldy and unexplainable ways - as opposed to the predictable simplicity of the heliocentric model - makes it so unlikely as to be considered nonsense. All the available evidence points overwhelmingly to earth being a rotating sphere orbiting the sun. There, is that better?

  2243. If you actually watched the video, it’s not about what flat earthers believe, it’s about why they believe it, what are their motivations. It seems to me that pretty much every flat earther that attacks this video completely misses the point by jumping on the fact that “real” flat earthers don’t believe earth accelerates upwards. It doesn’t matter, it’s not that important. If two people looked at a duck and one said “that’s a cow” and the other said “no, that’s a cat”, is it that important what they said, or the fact that they were both deaf and blind?
