RIP Terry Pratchett

"Great A'Tuin is the Giant Star Turtle of the species Chelys galactica who travels through the Discworld universe's space, carrying four giant elephants "

at least whp doesn't actually believe this bullshit. he only seems to use it to fuck with people. what's your excuse for believing this shit again?

Ok I did everyone a favor and actually watched this thing. Some notes:

- It repeats around 1:50, so it's only about half as long

- Some of his points are very interesting like flight times, which I'm sure are explainable, and why we don't explore Antarctica more if there are resources there and it would be economically viable to mine there.

- He cherry picks a lot of his "evidence" and reveals them without context.

- He focuses more on why the accepted belief that the world is round could be flawed and less about how the Earth is flat.

- He doesn't explain the scientific evidence for a round Earth like horizons and the Moon's gravitational pull.

- He takes a sharp turn from logic to speculation around 60 minutes and huge assumptions. It gets weird.

- He actually tells stories of what happened before our world existed as if he was there taking notes. This is where intellectually honest people start to drop off.

- At the end, he mentions his email and phone number, I think an educated GFYer who does his research (won't be me) should Skype with him and ask him the obvious questions. I would watch that.

Thanks for the share, it was a fun video!

I love Flat Earth... but I hate Flat asses

So, can any GFYers disprove Flat Earth Theory?

You think that i believe the earth is flat?

you are an interesting guy Glen.

Where does oil come from? :)

Glad you enjoyed :thumbsup

I like to watch many different kinds of things.
IT is a fun thought experiment.

I think it is funny that some people get so worked up over watching something. It is a form of fiction and sometimes entertaining.

I think people with really small minds are not able to watch or take part in anything that goes against the small piece of reality they cling to. Sad.

Fitty Flatties :Graucho

I like the way you put it, very similar to me :thumbsup

these simpletons believe there is depth, just that earth is not a sphere - rather a large, deep, round plate shaped object. like a deep-pan pizza.

you should read some of the 'arguments' they give on that YT video, fucking terrifying to think these people walk amongst us :helpme

It's a conspiracy theory...
