Round Earth belief claims that earths curvature is approximately 8 inches per square mile. However, when you look at a shoreline from a great distance, no significant "curve" can be seen. The above illustration proves this: the image on the left is how many miles of shoreline should appear if the earth was really a ball. The image on the right shows how distant shorelines actually look. No curvature exists.

Your posts arguing that the Earth is flat has got to be the dumbest shit I have ever read. I'm tired of seeing such ignorance. You must be completely -blam!-ing stupid if you can't accept the FACT that the Earth IS ROUND. Just cuz your ass and chest are flat doesn't mean the Earth is. Welcome to Mute Town. G-Day!

They do you numbskull, ever been in a plane before?

If the earth is flat then why can you take a picture of America from space and not see England. And dont say England isnt real because i live there. And if you say humans havent been to space then why have i seen the ISS.

How small do you think this planet is XD

Even though this is bait, I thought of something and felt like sharing it... If the earth is flat and objects truly do just get too far away to see, how does that explain the sun setting and rising? If it truly does circle over our head, how come it doesn't just disappear in the sky and comeback? Why does it set or rise? There's no reason for it to do so.

Mr. K how thin is the earth

Scale isn't just to weigh things.

Edited by MechaCam: 7/2/2016 7:27:17 PMAhh yes Flat Earthers. I remember writing my pseudoscience paper about you people. How are those Positive Illusions, Confirmation biases and tribalisms working out for you? Would you like to read my 6 page paper about how your Flat Earth Society is nothing but a cult of babbling idiots who are getting in the way of true scientific progress? and About how Flat Earth Beliefs only exist to make you feel all pretty inside and how their confirmation bias is way out of control.

The earth is a disk moving up through space. Straight up. Like a pizza getting hand tossed but it never comes back down. 😒 mmmmm yeah I'm going to have to ask you to just move your cubicle down to the basement. Yeah your going to want to take some roach spray with you too. So um yeah.....

If the earth is flat how thin is the crust?
-
My uncle rode a boat around the world, so f*** off
-
I'm honestly surprised people still take your bait.
-
When I was in space I saw that the earth was actually a large disk. But NASA made me sign a confidentiality agreement.

I agree the earth isn't round[spoiler]its a damn cube![/spoiler]

Edited by Melly Mel0dy: 7/4/2016 4:04:29 AMYou do realise that 8 inches vs. the distance of a mile makes that said 8 inches kinda unnoticeable? It's 8 inches vertical vs 63360 inches horizontal, I think it's safe to say that it [i]feels[/i] like it would be flat, but after a while, the difference is noticeable. Remember when I said that > 100km (or >60 miles for Imperial users) would be about 1/360th of the Earth? Because you might need to remember that for other later talks about this.

They do.
