This is the place to be on the interweb when Reddit irreversibly becomes a meme itself and implodes
If you are existing mods from r/dankmemes, you should be mod here too, kindly DM me on either platform
The many rules inherited from
They think the sun works like a spot light. I'm not kidding. It's the dumbest shit
In their own gif they need to make the light the sun puts out oblong which makes no fucking sense and there's no explanation as to why you can't always see the moon.
It's so stupid it's embarrassing to even debunk them.
The Earth is constantly accelerating up at a rate of 32 feet per second squared (or 9.8 meters per second squared). This constant acceleration causes what you think of as gravity.
HOOO BOY,
that is so stupid, Hexbear might actually try to convince itself that it is true.
I almost left Lemmy because of the crap I always had in my feed.
Then I realized all the bottom of the barrel content and takes were all from the hexbear instance. I started blocking any community from that server. It’s like a whole new world
We at sh.itjust.works can proudly claim that we out-hexbeared the hexbears. They defederated from us before we did from them.
I've never had or heard of any issues with shit just works users, why did they defederate with you?
We fought fire with fire. If you want to know the way in which your average Hexbear user conducts themselves, you just need to recall that they have their pig shit image linked to their instance for convenient use: https://hexbear.net/PPB (NSFW!)
Edit: You can also check out [email protected], if you want to get a glimpse at what was going on a few days ago.
Not just that. In order for the sun to be visible 24/7 from Antarctica during its summer, the light from the sun would have to morph from a circle into a right going around the whole earth. I have no idea what could cause that.
Why did we ever put lead in gasoline? Now I have to live in this reality.
So the world is flat so we can't fall off, walls of ice keep the water from falling off its edges. Okidoki.
But the sun, moon, stars and planets don't fall out of the sky? They are kept up there magically?
It's great to read, as is most fantasy.
I'm trying to figure out how they think the sun can ever pass below the horizon in that model and it seems like their explanation is.... magnets???
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
Idk.
They're magic, they can do anything.
shouldn't have clicked that link on my normal browser. now my "personal" ads are going to flood me with far right conspiracy bs, adult diapers, "oWnEd tHe LiBs" content, lifted trucks for sale, truck nuts, "silver nitrate", and trump hat bs.
I love that they explain the seasons, and reference the hemispheres 😂
Wow, you outsmarted Flatearthers. Impressive.
You don't know what I'm working with though
As a passenger on an aircraft, how is it I can see the curvature of the Earth?
Quite simply, you cannot…
It is likely that those claiming to have personally visually discerned curvature from an aeroplane are experiencing a form of confirmation bias.
Oh, ok then
Ignoring that ancient mathematicians were able to calculate the size of the earth with pretty good results, considering their "world spanning empires" are what we'd consider regional now.
Also that you can literally watch a ship come over the horizon, seeing it's sails first before the body actually moves into view. If the earth were flat the entire thing would be visible the entire time.
You can't reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into.
The ships thing, they explain that away with "sea mountains"....I wish I was kidding....
They also point out that passenger aircraft don't fly above 60,000ft, only to ignore footage from other types of aircraft ascending above the stratosphere and clearly showing the globe
They're just lying to themselves, doing mental gymnastics, or whatever you wanna call it. Thus no point in arguing with them
holy shit. you've made a believer out of me. I'm now a flat earther!
checkmate globers
The only time I ever see or hear anything about flat earth is when people bitch about it on Reddit and now here.
My brother is a flat-earther. He talks about it all the time. One of these days I'm gonna throw him right off the edge.
Netflix has entire documentaries about these clowns. I wish the idea of a flatearth was something that I only heard about on Reddit or Lemmy.
The flat earth sun works more like one of those flatbed file scanners.
Alright, here is my take:
Gravity bends light. Therefore, there is a tiny black hole between earth and the sun. You see, the black hole redirects the sunlight juuuuuuust perfect to simulate that sphere nonsense you sheeples believe in.
Well when you want to go to sleep, you just say "flip me over, sky daddy". Then God flips over the flat earth and that's how we get to night.
It's definetly dark on the other side of our flat earth.
And to prove I'm right: dark side of the moon by pink Floyd. The moon is also flat. Someone is flipping all those discs (you prefer 'planets') over every 24 hours, just like flat pancakes. How can you ignore all those obvious signs.
Jeez. Those dumb round-earthers.
This is a proof for sun is orbiting around the earth (I'm just joking)
Heliocentrism didn't come about just from observing the sun. We also had to observe the planets and figure out why they would suddenly change direction in the sky. After centuries of increasingly complex models that decently described the planetary motion with geocentrism, some calculating and new models that put the sun at the center made a lot of the models much more consistent.
I mean, timezones are enough.
if we can flip it over we can solve global warming
The lamp rotates along its post. Booom, solved.
Where does the sun hide at night? Did people really used to live in black and white?
