@TheFlatEartherr The more you invent new models and simulations to make it work on a flat disc, the more you realize this would only be possible if the light was hitting the side of a sphere.
Sure, we can’t ”see the curves”, so it makes sense to think it’s flat. But we also know how light works.
@shaunchurch@thekitze@supermac_app@tim_cook After trying out Raycast I went back to Alfred in the end. It seems like I value the quickness over flexibility. I don’t like having to press too many keys and diving multiple levels. And some stuff i just don’t get, like managing windows by typing? Prefer shortkeys and dragging.
@TheTwilightDome There is no ”flat earth model”. It’s just biblical truth. It’s a belief. It’s pointless to compare science with religion. Regardless of proof, religious people will still believe in God. And that’s okay.
@CapitalMisto@FCopernicium@sly_sparkane You do understand that ”zooming in” was just a way to explain the scale, right? We are not living on a ”zoomed in” globe. We’re like molecules on a ball. To us, the surface looks flat. Well, if that image above didn’t help you understand, I think this is a lost case.
@CapitalMisto@FCopernicium@sly_sparkane Way to sidestep your statement ”You’re trapped in a 2D drawing. A sphere doesn't just curve down; it curves left, right, and away in 3D space.”
You are really not getting it. You get stuck on ”sphere”, thinking that it’s a little ball. The earth is huge. Zoom in and it’s flat.
@CapitalMisto@FCopernicium@sly_sparkane I think it’s you sir who is unable to think in 3D. That drawing shows the scale of the curvature from a profile view. It’s gonna be the same even if you rotate it 360 degrees. The scale doesn’t change drastically just because you change the direction.
@xdNiBoR@thekitze@supermac_app It does. Just add control key to the short commands. Also, you can set folder to save to via terminal. Or you get @CleanShot for even better experience.
@A_SerdarKilic@benwehrman I’m not even sure what you’re accusing me of. I’m pointing out the absurdity of the flat earth model and here you are talking about gravity. Feels like we’re on the same side bud
@A_SerdarKilic@benwehrman I’m not talking about globe model. That model has its ruleset and explanations already, which doesn’t involve simpleton logic such as ”water finds it level, must be contained, so earth must be flat”. It’s that reasoning that hints that the earth is a plate standing on something.
@benwehrman@A_SerdarKilic By pure observation: A stationary object must stand on a stable surface. Where is the earth disc standing on? God's table? If yes, where is that table standing on? Etc.
@benwehrman Ahh they're finally referring to Gods and magic. All this curiosity, "How can water stick on a spinning ball??", but nobody questions how God can exist.
@TheGlobeIsDead Show me a picture of an airplane nose diving below the horizon as it gets farther away. Now imagine the sun. Even if you don't think it's 93 million miles up, the chances of it converging in the middle without also becoming small as pixel, is even less than an airplane.
@FlerfWatch Even flat earthers must agree that the sun is higher up than what our airplanes can fly. But we never see airplanes nose dive below the horizon as they fly further away from us. But somehow the breaks all the rules of perspective.
@FlerfWatch Maybe the flat earth sun plays hide and seek with us? It seems pretty playful, circling around us, and moving up and down. It's clearly not 93 million miles away from us, judging by the photos. More like a few inches from the ground.
@igor2036492@OVOnlyViolence@SteakforBrekie@benwehrman How thick is this wall to be able to sustain an ocean? What’s outside the ice wall? Creationists are fast to point out that the universe can not be created from nothing, so there must be a God. So can the flat earth stand on nothing? I guess also cuz of God?
