If the sun revolved around a flat earth, we would still alternate between night and day. But it can't explain why it isn't daytime all over the world at the same time, or why seasons change.

The sun is close (approx 3000 miles) and lights up a limited area like a spotlight as it circles above the earth plane. The appearance of the sun rising and setting is caused by perspective. See Gleason's map and atlanteanconspiracy.com.

It sure is. Check out "200 Proofs Earth is not a Spinning Ball" by Eric Dubay on either Youtube or you can download the e-book for free. You can also look at atlanteanconspiracy.com for Eric Dubay's articles and videos on the topic. He sticks to natural science to explain the flat earth. He also links to other free e-books written in the last century by people who performed experiments to prove whether there was actual curvature.
There is controlled opposition to the flat earth that will try to throw things out there to ridicule it, like falling off the edge. The edge is actually an ice wall at the perimeter, which globalist claim is the continent of Antarctica.

There are plenty of videos I could show you to prove the globe, like the testing flattard series. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JgY8zNZ35uw

Why should I watch something that starts out insulting others' intelligence? Did you look at the work I cited above? It's presented in a serious, logical manner, not with puppets.

Why does he insult you and your conspiracy buddies? Because you guys are idiots! The manner it is presented in does not matter, but the content does, and so far the manner your evidence is presented in is all it has going for it.

Poor people actually need help. I'm intelligent enough to figure out which is bullshit (ball earth or flat earth). If you don't think I'm intelligent enough to believe what you believe, that sounds like a you problem.

Obviously you aren't as you are telling me in your comment above that hearing that a flat earth is mathematically impossible from multiple sources you still don't beleive in the globe. Look, I'd be fine with you beleiving in the flat earth if it had any evidence that it existed, but sadly there is none.

What makes you think I wasn't taught the globe model in school and thus have to watch some amateur YT video? At least the teacher didn't resort to using puppets or calling us retards.

Your logic: sure everything he says is true, and sure it disproves my ridiculous theory, but in the beginning he insults my kind so everything he says doesn't count.

Your logic: believe whatever anyone in authority tells me is true because thinking for myself is dangerous and retarded.

I beleive almost nothing authority tells me unless I can do some research to prove it. You are falling under an inverse appeal to authority fallacy, where you assume everybody in authority is trying to lie, trick, or swindle you. What does a global conspiracy saying that the earth is a globe help anybody?
1 up, 7y
Ad hominem attack and shitty grammar.
See, I can pull debate club jargon out of my ass, too.
How about the reason for a globe conspiracy is to convince everyone that we are a cosmic accident and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. This leads to the idea that humans are a disease and need to be exterminated.
Exactly the opposite of the idea that the earth is intelligently designed by God, and that we are actually special to him.

This YouTuber, if you take time to watch his videos, doesn't try to teach the globe model, but simply disprove the flat earth model.

You're assuming I haven't already looked at all of the debunking flat earth videos before I came to my conclusions. I'm not some flighty idiot who believes everything put in front of me. I've always wondered why people believed in unbelievable things if they weren't true, so I research them for myself until I am satisfied that all of my questions are answered. By you assuming that I'm too stupid to understand means you think you are smarter than everyone else. Guess what? No matter how smart you think you are, there is always someone smarter. Don't be so cock-sure that you have all the answers and everyone else are idiots.

Yesterday, something happened that I don't want to talk about and it made me really angry. Usually, I take my anger out on people with different beliefs than me, and I geuss this time I took it out on you. I'm sorry, I know that I didn't really argue my point and really just called you names, and I'm sorry for that. I'm probably going to take a break from making any kind of arguement for a while. Have a nice day.

Apology accepted. I'm sorry you had such a bad day and I hope you feel better soon.

Look, I really want to be done with this arguement. I'm starting to tilt and I can tell my anger is rubbing off on you. You wanna just call a truce?
1 up, 7y
A truce? After you insulted my intelligence repeatedly?
BTW, you are the one who kept the argument going by insisting that I needed to get my shit together, and that I am an idiot for believing something that you don't (like you're some type of f**king authority).
I just don't understand why my three month old comments on a meme that you had nothing to do with made YOU angry. I don't know you from Adam!
It's not like I'm advocating something evil.
But if you want a truce, fine. Run along.

Lots of people that are not flat earthers don't have their shit together. Why don't you go help them? I'm sure they need the help a lot more than I do.

I don't like it when people beleive in things for reasons that make no sense and hold up to no scrutiny. If you beleived in the flat earth for something that makes sense and is provable with empirical evidence then I wouldn't be so angry.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Because I do, and you're not going to change my mind on that one, either. A lot of unbelievers think God and Jesus make no sense and hold up to no scrutiny. My own personal experience tells me otherwise.
The flat earth does make sense and is provable with empirical evidence that you apparently refuse to look at, but I'm not going to force it on you. Why should I?
Again, what I believe is doing absolutely no harm to you, so why are you trolling me? You do realize that my original comments on this meme are a couple of months old?

Necromancer shaming is pretty meta right now, isn't it?

Anywho, if you can show me one study that isn't easily disproven (aka the vaccines cause autism one) about the flat earth, id be happy. For me, beleiving in Jesus is more of a logical thing. You see, if you beleive in god and there happens to be no afterlife, are you punished? No. But if you don't beleive but there is an afterlife, you are getting punished. Christianity itself is just the religion that makes the most sense and one of the only religions without a weird convoluted backwards ideology.

Necromancers, or necros, are people who revive old or "dead" posts. Meta means that it is the trend now in days.

In other words, you don't have any original ideas. Got it.
