Hey guys, I am an active believer of flat earth. I used to be like many of you. I once believed that flat earthers were just autists in denial of science. Until I was shown the truth. Unfortunately my opinions have been ignored and I hope that the people of Yea Forums spread my message. There are many reasons for why the earth is flat.
The aeronaut can see for himself that Earth is a Plane. The appearance presented to him, even at the highest elevation he has ever attained, is that of a concave surface - this being exactly what is to be expected of a surface that is truly level, since it is the nature of level surfaces to appear to rise to a level with the eye of the observer. This is ocular demonstration and proof that Earth is not a globe.
Look, I totally understand. I used to have your mindset. But you must look at the evidence.
There are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet - notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's "convexity." It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe.
I hoped this was the last place I would run into flerfer trash. Now I see there is no escaping the retardation. God help us all.

I have no intent on telling lies. I lived my entire life believing lies. I want to spread this message out because it's disappointing seeing the world deny this fact even though there is countless research.
Josiah Lopez
And also this is not the only evidence I can concur. The lights which are exhibited in lighthouses are seen by navigators at distances at which, according to the scale of the supposed "curvature" given by astronomers, they ought to be many hundreds of feet, in some cases, down below the line of sight! For instance: the light at Cape Hatteras is seen at such a distance (40 miles) that, according. to theory, it ought to be nine-hundred feet higher above the level of the sea than it absolutely is, in order to be visible! This is a conclusive proof that there is no "curvature," on the surface of the sea - "the level of the sea,"- ridiculous though it is to be under the necessity of proving it at all: but it is, nevertheless, a conclusive proof that the Earth is not a globe.

>research Yeah and I should believe the research of uneducated boneheads over scientists.... why exactly?

>A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's "convexity." Gravity pulls toward the center of the earth; "falling a foot" means getting a foot closer to the center of the earth

I will now refer to myself as R.W. I know it may seem strange to arrive here of all places. But I have no place left. I want people to not accept, to discuss the possibility of a flat earth.

Take a moment to try a jump into the air. Have you ever thought about how remarkable it is that so little effort is required to jump a few inches off the ground. Your puny muscles, weighing just a few kilograms, can overcome the gravitational force of the Earth, all 6 × 1024 kilograms off it. Gravity is a real weakling – 1040 times weaker than the electromagnetic force that holds atoms together.
Although the other forces act over different ranges, and between very different kinds of particles, they seem to have strengths that are roughly comparable with each other. Gravity is the misfit. Why should this be so?
So far, our best explanation comes from string theory, the leading candidate for a “theory of everything”. String theory requires that the universe has more than the three spatial dimensions that we experience, and possibly as many as 10. According to string theorists’ best ideas, gravity is so weak because, unlike the other forces, it leaks in and out of these extra dimensions. We only get to experience a dribble of the true strength of gravity.
The proof of this might come through experiments that probe the gravitational attraction between objects that are very small distances apart. String theory suggests that the unseen dimensions are hidden from view because they are rolled up small, or lie “end-on” to our dimensions, making it hard to detect their presence.

I am not trying to convince anyone. I do not expect a single person to become a believer of flat earth. It took years for me to change. I am just here to lay out the evidence for you people to discuss. Thank you.

All right then, how do I get pulled back to the earth then?

Light refracts in the atmosphere. distance=sqrt(7*height/4) is an AVERAGE calculation for how reacts in our atmosphere.

If it makes you feel any better no one thinks you're intentionally lying, we just think you're stupid and misled and now subjecting us to your delusions.

Psh, space isn't REAL. It's all an illusion by the jews running nasa to keep people from the truth of flat earth.... because, reasons???
Brayden Brooks
Ill just hit you with the "why is literally every other celestial body a globe then? And why is the Earth the literal only exception" 2/10 made me reply

Why are all the stars different in the southern hemisphere from the northern?

Now, this is good one. I am interested in OP's answer.
Honestly, sad things about these bullshit opinions is that people who believe them often go long way to prove they are right - while the majority of people on the right side just happened to be right and don't really have good arguments for their opinion other than "everybody says so".
(Mind you, "everybody days so" isn't terrible reason to believe some things, but it isn't exactly scientific, you know?)
