Earth’s magnetic field does not only align horizontally but also has a vertical component. The closer to the magnetic poles, the steeper the dip angle. A dip circle can be used to measure this dip angle. It is basically a compass for the vertical direction.

Compass points horizontally and flat-Earthers wrongly use it as “evidence” of a flat Earth. In reality, a compass is balanced to counter the effect of magnetic dip. We can use a dip circle to measure the actual dip angle of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Fuck vegans.

This fact also makes a cyclone happens very rarely near the equator. Near the equator, the Coriolis effect is too weak that it is almost impossible for a cyclone to form.

This phenomenon cannot possibly happen if the Earth is flat and motionless

This was the first post I saw upon opening the rice bowl society channel. Quite insane recently that more and more of his "advice" originates from tik tok.

Just look at that sea creature though! 😂😂😂

We have no problem saying that psychic is pseudoscience even though some Nobel prize laureates at one point endorsed it. Just because renowned scientists like Pierre Curie, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein supported psychic, it does not mean it is scientific.

The photo of Pic Gaspard taken from Pic de Finestrelles is one of the farthest line-of-sight photos of an object on Earth’s surface, taken from another location on Earth’s surface. It is possible to take the photo due to the height of the peaks & atmospheric refraction.

The apparent height of Pic Gaspard relative to the other peaks proves Earth is a sphere. If Earth were flat, Pic Gaspard should appear higher than Grand Ferrand from the observer’s location. Simulations also give us the same results as observation, confirming that it is really what would look like on a spherical Earth.

Stellarium is a planetarium software. It can render a realistic projection of the sky in real-time and any time in the past or the future, with relatively good accuracy. Stellarium is free software and costs nothing to download. It is freely available for all the major desktop operating systems. In addition, there is a version for mobile phones/tablets, albeit a paid one, and a simpler web-based version.

Stellarium uses the spherical Earth model. If the result produced by Stellarium matches the actual observation, then there is nothing wrong with the spherical Earth model. We can use the app to tell us if it is just an error in the model or an actual discrepancy between observation and expectation. The latter will be much rarer.

Stellarium Using Flat Earth Claim
Some flat-Earthers claim that Stellarium is made using the flat Earth model. However, we can easily prove this wrong by using Stellarium to simulate how the Earth appears from the surface of the Moon:

Find the Moon: Ctrl-F, type “moon”, Enter
Move observer to the selected object (Moon): Ctrl-G
Find the Earth: Ctrl-F, type “earth”, Enter
Turn off horizon if the Earth is below the horizon: G
Zoom on to the selected object (Earth): /
If done correctly, Stellarium will show the spherical Earth in all its glory, as seen from the Moon.

DDees produced some interesting pieces in his time but boy was he a schizo.

Flat-Earthers like to use the erroneous “8 inches per mile squared” to calculate the height hidden by Earth’s curvature. The following is the correct equation for the purpose, accounting for the observer’s height & atmospheric refraction

We know that flat earthers cannot think or see in 3D but can they even help it? It could be very true that their cognitive power doesn't allow them to.

David is a staunch flat-earther. He made the video ostensibly to demonstrate how astronauts “faked” their videos as part of his many attempts to spread flat-Earth misinformation. Real astronauts did not fake their video, however, and David was misinformed, or rather tried to misinform others. But he did not claim the woman in the video was Karen Nyberg.

Other people took the video from David’s account and added the misleading remark that the person was Karen Nyberg. It is difficult to pinpoint who first spread the hoax. But they might be other flat-earthers or like it is often the case, someone trolling flat-earthers for personal enjoyment, exploiting flat-earthers’ extreme gullibility.

A few verified accounts with many followers spread the hoax, unfortunately, giving the hoax much undue attention.

Utterly accurate.

Watching wild beast explain why math can't predict reality and how it's "not real" is too fucking good.

The dumbest of the dumb right next to mofo skinny.
