Here's my annual Golden Globes meme... :)

welp, its official, he loses

Creeper aww man

Straw! Plastic! And beer cans!

LOL

That is obviously NASA and the aliens duhhh!!

if anyone Actually believes this is what our planet looks like, I feel sorry for them because they've GONE FULL RETARD!

Sadly.

What? NO UPVOTE?

We have this at times in here. Up vote and it disappears or doesn't hit for some reason.

Ever see the -1 upvote? What the heck is THAT about?

imgflip's server just can only handle so much traffic.

I have made a habit of upvoting before I comment, you know, just to have a routine. Can't say I never miss one though. I like to go back on my pown memes and check for any I may have missed at the end of the day. BUt lately I have noticed site wide 0 ups. It's either a glitch in the matrix or people really not up voting. Have you seen this the past few days?

OWN. Not pown... geesh... we can put a man on the moon but we can't edit our imgflip comments.

but then they also think the earth is flat so what they say doesn't actually MEAN SQUAT now does it ?

I think this is good though to say something. I think it helps newer users who aren't in the know about the way we do things!

You's are all FULL RETARD! LOL!!!

Einstein was a genius in more ways than one

The guy cheated on his wife with his cousin, then he married his cousin, then he got interested in his cousin's daughter... dude was gross

It's surprisingly hard to prove the round earth without putting all your faith in NASA

OR THE FACT THAT YOU CAN SEE THE CURVATURE OF THE EARTH From a Standard Commercial Airline FLIGHT!

"Actually Bro, you wer way way off!"

I was fixing your math for curvature, and I was not off, you're just talking about 2 different things now. The fact that you can't admit when you're wrong even when it's a simple math problem is indicative of a closed mind. Try to remove your ego from the issue and just have fun thinking about new things.

The distance you can see with your naked eye is much less than when you zoom in... you needed 899 million sources for that? hahah These people are using cameras, zoomed in, on things that should be well below the curve. The limitations of human eyesight are irrelevant.

What else ya got?

So, you heard a flat earth drone say that as long as you use a powerful enough zoom you can get any object back into sight even after it has disappeared beyond the horizon, and you actually believed them?

that's the same as some imbecile telling you if you get out a telescope after you finished your dinner & look at your plate with a powerful enough zoom you can get your food back into sight

i don't care what type of equipment they were using the hubble cannot see around the curvature of the earth

you flat earthers look at a parking lot & see that its flat so you conclude the entire planet has to be flat & then you call everyone who is still in touch with reality crazy or one deceived by our government who has absolutely nothing to gain regardless of what shape the planet is ( by the way its a globe)

but it wouldn't matter if it was the shape of a banana the US government gains nothing by tricking people iunto believing the earth is some other shape

there's no benefit to them to tell you our planet is a planet whether it is or is not

you flat earthers will never never never want to wake up.

Come on now, resorting to insults and strawman attacks? I didn't make fun of you for getting algebra wrong, let's keep it chill. We're not liberals after all, we can disagree and still be civil.

I didn't just hear it, I saw it and so did you in that video with the coin on the flat surface. When they zoom in the coin comes back into focus. It's all about angular resolution and perspective. So you are either saying that the coin video is faked or you're saying it can't work when taken to larger scales. Which is it and why?

As for why would the government lie, that's a whole other conversation, and I'd rather stick with the proofs. You made it sound like it was easy to prove, but it seems like you're having trouble.

What else ya got? :]

"I take it you have never been offshore/ deep sea fishing because if you had you would know this."

That makes zero sense, that would happen everywhere on both models as the video showed. You said that video is wrong, but you didn't say how. How is the video wrong? They show bottom up disappearance as it moves away and top down reappearance as it zooms in. Large scale and small scale.

Here's more large scale examples a minute into this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDKc6X8TXNE

What else ya got?

Show me where I said that video is wrong, now you're just makin shit up like most people do when they have nothing just start Inventing shit "out of thin air"

what else ya got is not english, I'm sorry but I only speak/ understand & write in english.

haha you're more than willing to squabble over irrelevant issues but not the main point. I gave you a video showing bottom-up disappearance over a flat plane on both small scale and large scale examples. You said "no if the earth were flat you would not lose sight of objects from the bottom upwards" but you didn't explain. You just reject the video and gave a personal anecdote, even after you disparaged flat earthers for "this guy said" and "mike told me" explanations. And then you start to deflect by being a grammar nazi? hahah come on now. Don't be so defensive, just have fun with it. You can either explain why the video is wrong or you can try a different proof.

What moreover doth ye have?

Once again show me where I said the video is wrong.

I did, but why does that even matter? Why are you trying to deflect into these meta arguments? If you don't think the video is wrong then just clarify your point, if you do think it's wrong then explain why. The video shows bottom-up disappearance on a flat plane and it shows how zooming in can bring it back into view from the top-down, which shows that your example is true on both globe and flat earth and doesn't prove anything.

it's so easy to tell that video was produced by a flat earther, its always the same thing NASA says NASA says why do they say NASA is an evil conspiracy covert operation of our corrupt government & quote them Every chance they get? its pretty retarded!

they can say anything NASA says the sky is falling & their obedient little drones will believe it

NASA says we never went to the moon & People jump to the chance to buy all that they're selling the video is just flat earth moron baloney OH & they need to Learn how to do basic math because the islands being 73 miles apart at 8 inches per mile squared so for 73 miles 73X8= 584 inches 584/12 = 48.6666 well in Hawaii are volcanoes very few if any of them are less than 100 ft tall so you should in fact be perfectly able to see those other islands from 73 miles away

geez these flat earthers don't do any basic math or research for themselves!

Actually Bro, you wer way way off!

according to google who i am quite after checking over 899 million sources is correct

the human eye is only capable of seeing roughly 3 miles on a flat plane if your eye is 5 ft above the ground

so just as I said once again the video is just more donkey shit by flat earthers

there are no eyes on the planet that can see another island from 73 miles away its horse shit these flat earth videos are all like this they just say bull as if they have somehow performed any kind of a test & proven their mouth flatulence

i don't care what kind of vision someone has
no one on the planet in the history of mankind has ever seen an object 73 miles away its bs which is essentially what flat earth is teaching its followers.

Why does it matter who made it if the argument is sound? That was quite a NASA rant, but I'm not sure what your point was. Also, your math is incorrect - you forgot that it's 8 inches per mile SQUARED. The way you calculated it would be a linear equation, but the curvature is supposed to become more dramatic over farther distances - it's exponential. So with 8in per mile squared at 73 miles would be 73*73*8 = 42,632 inches or 3,552 feet.

Geez these globe earthers don't do any basic google searches to check their own assumptions! hahah all in good fun.

What else ya got?

You can? I've flown a bunch and I've never been able to see the curve. Here's a globe earther explaining why you can't see the curve from commercial airplanes.

Or maybe you want something more sciencey.

http://www.thulescientific.com/Lynch%20Curvature%202008.pdf

Maybe try using more caps next time because caps = truth

For starters, I don't need caps for any kind of (this is true because it was typed in caps baloney ) but good try though

that article you linked me too was a page that another flat earth dumbass put up I can tell by how wrong the article was

in it he stated that ancient greeks concluded the earth was a sphere by observing ships as they sailed over the horizon, well that is a big garbage lie the ancient greeks didn't conclude
they proved the earth is a sphere using mathematics we can do the precise same thing today

just like the greeks did back then by calculating angles & doing simple Geometry equations eratosthenes proved the earth is a sphere I'm sorry you've been lied to but this planet we live on is not flat man

the flat earth society is a humongous money $cam & they're making million$ off of people who just believe without doing a splinter of research.

Strange that you discard all their points based on an introductory sentence, but you're mistaken - the idea of a spherical earth predates Eratosthenes by a couple of centuries at least.

I never claimed to be a flat earther, but I'm open-minded and they have a lot of good points, and it's fun to think about. And science should welcome skepticism, wouldn't you agree? I hope you don't say "the science is settled" because I looked at your memes and you don't seem like a lefty.

Back to Eratosthenes, his conclusions depend on a distant sun and flat-earthers believe in either a local sun or a projected sun. Here's an visual explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6OfkTprs2I&t=43s

Totally agree that the flat earth society sucks - they're like the Alex Jones of flat-earthers, meant to discredit the real flat earthers (not that they need much help with that).

Keep em coming, but side question - do you trust NASA?

NASA is just the SLUSH FUND the US government uses to hide BILLION$

your question is too broad, Vague/ Generalized do I trust NASA to what?

an I didn't discard all their points because of an introductory sentence I Merely made the point that they Started the article with a false premise, there is always an ulterior motive when someone does that, its like when someone sticks their foot in the door so the front door won't close all the way then they have their in I just stated that what the article said was Incorrect.

It indeed is incorrect to start right off the bat with your first line being a line of swiss cheese.

And no they do not have a lot of good points they have a lot of ( this guy said ) or ( well mike told me )

eratosthenese conclusions are scientific, they are verifiable, testable and falsifiable if a flat earther could prove the sun was only a 100 miles above the earth or so he would be proven wrong but this is only an idea of some guy that the sun & the moon are very nearby to the earth.

You don't trust NASA - at least you're not completely brainwashed, but try to control your spiraling here.
The article said "One of the ways the ancient Greeks concluded the Earth is spherical was by observing ships on a horizon" which is 100% true.

Sphere earth idea first documented 5th C BC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth
Eratosthenes 3rd C BC
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes

But that is all totally irrelevant to the whole reason I gave you the article, which outlines why you can't see the curve from a commercial airplane. Not sure why you ignored all of that. You seem pretty defensive. The religion of science wants to comfort you with all the answers, but it's important to know the difference between theory and fact. We have no proof of what the sun is or where it is. Eratosthenes' conclusions depend on a theoretical assumption so it proves nothing. What else ya got?

When you are out Fishing off shore ocean fishing which I've been hundeds of times as you move further off shore say around 8-9 miles off you begin to lose sight of the hotel/ condiminium buildinds that are on the beach coastline they disappear from the bottom up you are not losing sight of the building from the borttom up because it is just getting too far away but because it is on the other side of the horizon & you cannot use the dumbest argument in the univerese and say ( water doesn't bend )

the statement is true water does not bend it doesn't have to bend but it will follow the contour of the ocean sea floor which is the same shape of the planet we live on after 14 miles offshore you completely lose sight of the tops of 10 story buildings on the beach because you cannot see over/ around the horizon

it sucks you been lied to & bought it believe me I know we've all been lied to several times in our lives an often we believed it but the earth is indeed a globe and the flat earth society is just scamming people out of money & out of their sanity.

I don't believe everything I'm told and no if the earth were flat you would not lose sight of objects from the bottom upwards I have used a pair a binoculars with a 120X zoom on them and you cannot get the buildings back into view because they are on the other side of the horizon after you pass 14 miles offshore

I take it you have never been offshore/ deep sea fishing because if you had you would know this.

Once again, I don't hold a belief either way, I just don't believe everything I'm told, and once again I agree that the flat earth society is a scam, most flat earthers do, too.

To your point, that same bottom-up disappearance effect is the same on a flat earth. It's not from curvature it's from perspective and angular resolution. Here's a video demonstration. https://youtu.be/3rPvhFq7Ykk
