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. |

Quoted: Its like Sputnik, mostly spherical but quite pointy in parts View Quote 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. |

The Earth is round but is hollow inside the strange ufo activities and weird drone looking spheres originate mainly from the ocean and areas with access to underground areas that are immense.

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 |

In an amazing coincidence, the earth is shaped exactly like the beans in my chili.
PS. But a flat earth would explain where all the 10 mm sockets go... |

Quoted: People will vote flat just to mess up the poll. View Quote 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. |

Nobody thinks the earth is flat. Some people just say that to stir people up.

Quoted: Sphere with significant deviations. View Quote No really all that significant. The highest mountains in the world deviate from sea of level less than a tenth of a percent of the earth's diameter. Quoted: Geoid. View Quote No. |

Quoted: Spherical, but i voted flat because you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe it's flat and i wanted to feel special. View Quote 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. |

Quoted: Nobody thinks the earth is flat. Some people just say that to stir people up. View Quote 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. |

I use WGS 84 unless all ranges involved are very short, then a flat earth model is good enough and easier to work with.

Are there really any flat-earth believers, or are they all just dedicated at some level to trolling?

Quoted: 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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Willing to bet over 90% of your "Flat" votes are trolls.

I have personally seen with my own eyes the curvature of the earth, as have many others.
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. |

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