It sure looks flat to me, so I voted for flat.

It looks all bumpy where I am, but there is no option for that.

yes, but i'd bet this site has a higher percent of total nutjobs than the general population by a factor of 25 or more.

this is the only place ive seen on the internet that actually believes things from abovetopsecret .com. and they make zero hedge look a honest and wholesome news organization. kind of like there really are people here who believe the earth is 6000 years old and the dinosaur bones are planted lies by satan

You know how the map in The Legend of Zelda wraps around?  Like if you go off the top, you wrap around to the bottom, and the same with left-right?

That means the world is in the shape of a doughnut.

I don’t remember the exact technicalities, but in general when corrected for scale the vast majority of the land surface of the earth is in fact flatter than a pancake.

Almost everything we see (ie, maps, globes, etc) that represents elevation visually is vertically exaggerated.

That whole weathering thing will get ya.

Can you sail east long enough to hit the same spot you left from?
How about north to south?

If it's flat what's on the flip side?

I'm gonna go with roundish

No. I think the whole flat Earth thing was a huge social experiment to gauge just how fucking stupid and easily maleable Americans were at that point.

It seens to have given them the answer needed with the the last year as evidence.

I started to make a thread about it, but we had a disturbing visit with the bil this weekend, part of it had to do with the earth being flat. There are actually people that believe this, it's actually a movement. Here are the highlights. I guess it's worth pointing out that the bil dropped out of hs, had unskilled jobs but was so annoying he was run off of every one, so he found some doctors that diagnosed him with Ms so he could get disability. He hasn't been to a doctor since, probably because a real doctor would tell him he's mentally, not physically ill. But here are the highlights:

The earth is flatTrump is the antichrist and the Jews are satanic
There will be a war between the Catholics and Jews
911 didn't happen

Everything is a movie.


He has nothing better to do than look up diseases to fake and conspiracy theories. This is the weirdest one yet. He went on and on in his screechy voice about all this evidence about the earth being flat and Satan is fooling everyone to believe otherwise.

He's so stupid he can't even get his fake symptoms straight when he's faking his various diseases and he has a bunch of them.
But where do people get this stuff? There must be a source.

There are people that truly believe it. I looked up some of what I was subjected to.

I tried to tune it out, out of politeness, like you would if a friend were shitting his pants, or doing something else self-humiliating. The hysterical shrieking made it impossible.

There will definitely be some troll votes, probably a lot. It's not a scientific poll, of course.

But I suspect that the true number is a little higher here than among the general public. Flat earth belief is a real thing.

It isn't a question. It's round. It isn't flat.

Now whether it is hollow and filled with aliens or not is open for debate.

Not really.

If it was hollow that would mean no spinning nickel/iron core.

No spinning core no magnetosphere.

No magnetosphere and solar radiation would burn away the atmosphere leaving Earth a dead planet like Mars.
