I tried to watch this poo poo, and at first I was giving the dude benefit of the doubt. Like maybe somehow Jacko jumped around on a flat earth depiction and somehow that was mockery? I don't know but I didn't think just showing the Earth as a sphere is mockery

From what I've seen on the Before it's News poo poo, most of them will just react with "Heh, it's so SIMPLE, a toddler can reason with this." And then do something like show a graph of a parabola with un-named axis (or like the Y axis will just be labelled with a 'delta' symbol or something).

That video I posted tries to explain it - the Sun is actually quite small, just like a lightglobe in your house. And that lightglobe doesn't light up your entire neighbourhood, does it? Just the same as the sun doesn't light up the entire earth at once. It all makes perfect sense!!!

I genuinely can't tell whether the Flat Earth videos and sites are longcon trolls or 100% serious, there's some wicked Poe's Law going on there

Wait, so it's a disc, with a finite amount of land and oceans and poo poo, but it doesn't have an edge?

Antarctica is the edge. The "South pole" isn't a pole, it's the circumference of the Earth!

Then how to people go to the South Pole? God, at this point in the theory you might as well abandon the physics of it all and just go full-Matrix and claim "It doesn't HAVE to make sense! It's all a big, wacky simulation!".

umm maybe if you looked at the diagram you would see that space borders the south pole. Do you know how loving cold space is?? As you get closer and closer to the edge it gets colder and colder!!

The entire world is surrounded by giant impassable ice cliffs. The UN have established a no fly/no sail zone and won't let the public close enough to investigate them. :tinfoil:

All of this flat Earth theory is nonsense of course. Geocentric theory on the other hand has some real merit.
