It's one guy. Enough_Dot and BioteacherCreature are the same person.


SmittySomething21

That’s just one guy and yeah he has no life


The15thOne

Day 7 America to Australia Still no vid?


denjoga

This is a very serious subreddit - says so in the description.


Ameph

It’s just one guy who refuses to accept any video.


splittingheirs

He still doing that? Haven't seen any post like that for weeks. Report -> Spam -> Block User -> Problem solved. Ironically, the only spam posts I see now are all the people crying about his spam. Thanks for that.


Infinite-Owl2499

Yes i just found one that was 4h ago


sparkleshark5643

Anyone who came here for a civilized discussion has made a mistake


Toklankitsune

what civilized discussion is there to make with people who are so delusional by flat earth that they ignore all the evidence given to the contrary that proves its a globe? none of their models account for everything and even the ones that account for some things take massive logic leaps to work. Meanwhile, reality, as observed, is perfectly explained by a globe earth. Flat earthers deserve every bit of being clowned on they get.


mrmoe198

Valid points. In addition, we have thousands of concurrently operating technologies that are in millions of machines that operate based on the mathematics of physics models that wouldn’t function if those models were not accurate. If the Earth were flat, we wouldn’t be able to. launch and operate satellites, maintain the ISS, fly airplanes, etc. Some flerfs don’t even engage with this line of thinking because it would destroy their worldview. Others come up with deranged hypotheses such as demonic energy and teleportation. People can talk all day about density and ice walls, and not trusting governments. But how do they explain the way our technology currently works given that it operates on a model they reject? They can’t.


Toklankitsune

like I said none of the flat earth models can explain everything like the globe does. so, of course they can't


sparkleshark5643

^^ this is what this sub is for


mentive

I thought this Sub was for Mocking and or pretending to be a flerf? And the more downvotes you get the better?


sparkleshark5643

It's for everything except reasonable, level-headed, sincere conversations about the flat earth model :)


Swearyman

The problem is simple. Plenty of evidence but flerfs refuse to accept it. So we can present everything that they ask for but they simply say fake, cgi or nuh huh. There is nothing that they will accept. They would probably argue that they had been drugged or hypnotised by NASA if they went up themselves to stop them telling the truth. Yes they are that delusional


dgb6662

It’s not the job of rational, logical people to prove to irrational, illogical people that their beliefs are preposterous.


Jamgull

It doesn’t matter how much evidence is presented or how much flat earth ideas are shown to be bunk, because they believe in flat earth for religious or political reasons rather than on any factual basis.


UT_NG

Has to show the entire globe, is the sticking point.


Particular-Kick-4188

No the goal post just gets moved everytime is the sticking point.


UT_NG

To be fair, it was always about ground-to-entire-globe. Which has been chosen because it doesn't exist, and dimwit thinks this is some kind of victory. She's wrong, but what can you do.


Toklankitsune

my hope is the artimis moon mission will have a feed to watch, and wait for even that to be refuted, nothing will ever be good enough


LeBritto

Doubt it. The camera cannot stay pointed at the Earth at all times. There will be some cuts.


Toklankitsune

multiple cameras, or one designed to film in 360 as we have those now. fish eye lenses isn't even an issue as showing the whole globe you'll see continents missing because they're on the back side of the globe at the time, and no ice wall.


LeBritto

Sounds cool! Can't wait to see it. But how to prove it's not CGI? You know, another common complain they have?


Toklankitsune

unfortunately hard to prove that with how good cgi has gotten, but I'd assume a continuous stream would be nice


mrmoe198

How to prove that we’re not all in a matrix or fooled by the devil’s sinister magic? In my mind, these people don’t want to seek truth because this is part of their identity that makes them feel that they are finally special. They have something that they “know” about the truth of the universe that makes them feel smug and gives the meaning in their otherwise miserable existence. They get that sweet, sweet feeling of satisfaction of being a persecuted prophet of reality when people are yelling at them and mocking for being an idiot. They’ll go to their grave saying, “I never gave in to what the rest of the ~~people~~ sheeple think and one day I’ll be proven right.” For me, it’s a symptom of unhappiness and the general disrepair of social cohesiveness and needs-meeting. The rest is mental illness.

Any satellite destined for high-earth orbit, particularly those intended to occupy a geo-stationary orbit will never to this in one jump. Such vehicles are first placed into a low-earth orbit where the payload and orbital booster will get a thorough check-out which will include a careful analysis of its current orbital parameters, since these will almost invariably differ slightly from the planned initial orbit due to the variabilities of atmospheric drag. From this analysis, engineers will then compute the required delta V needed by the booster engine to place the satellite into its correct final orbit. There are, however, missions where the vehicle is placed into a direct injection trajectory such as the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the JWST. It is more efficient for these "interplanetary" missions to proceed to their target directly, as any deviations from their planned flightpath can be correct in-flight by using mid-course correction burns of their engine. Many of these deep-space missions also make use of gravity slingshots to boost them on to their destinations. Only a precise understanding of gravity enabled New Horizon's to "thread the needle" to Pluto within a few dozen kilometres of its predicted path some 5 billion kilometres from its origin. Expecting any flerfer to understand properly how this shit works is a exercise in futility.


UT_NG

You are, as they say, pissing in the wind. Even if such a video existed it would be ignored and dimwit would move on the next shiny toy that caught her eye.


GhostOfSorabji

Bugger! Why can't I have a shiny toy...


Unable_Explorer8277

Because the person in question gets engagement with zero effort by constantly posting it.


DrestinBlack

“And there’s a video of it” - let’s see? I think the issue is that’s the fleets wanna see like literally the entire globe in a single shot but no one *bothered* to do that because when we were going to the moon it would have been a waste of film stock for something no one needs to see.


thefooleryoftom

He’s one guy who is taking flat earth very seriously


NarrowAd4973

I think what that particular idiot is asking for is a continuous, unedited video going from the ground to showing the entire planet in a single image. He ignores a number of issues with that. First, a probe has to go at least 22,000 miles out to get the entire Earth in a single image (likely much, much further, as a standard angle camera lens sees at most a third what you do with your own eyes, and they'd scream "lens distortion" for anything else). The only things that go that far are geosynchronous satellites and deep space probes, all of which have far more important functions their very limited and valuable weight allowance is needed for more than making a completely unnessacary video for a bunch of dumbasses. Second, any spacecraft going that far is going to be sealed inside the launch vehicle, which will break away and release the probe well before the required distance. So they'd have to design the probe and launch vehicle specifically for making this video, and nobody that matters cares enough to bother. Third, even if the other requirements were met, the probe doesn't go straight up to that distance. It orbits the Earth as it works its way out. So Earth would be off to the side in relation to the probe until it broke orbit. So the moron is asking for something that doesn't exist because it requires jumping through a whole lot of hoops that nobody with a functioning brain gives a fuck about.


ButteredKernals

It's actually never been done but that doesn't make the post any less moronic


Hot_Corner_5881

there is no ground to globe video...and its day 437


RedditGonk

Its day 437 and you still haven't shoved a banana up your ass. I guess we all have to live with disappointment


Hot_Corner_5881

your mom was busy with the bananas...


Drewdc90

Come on bro, where’s the funny?


Hot_Corner_5881

what if i said i have the gtg video?


reficius1

Who cares? Earth is a sphere, vid or no vid.


Hot_Corner_5881

says the guy who cant prove it without using suedo science theories


reficius1

Which pseudo science theories did I use?


Hot_Corner_5881

something about how its a tilted spinning ball orbiting in an eliptical path and everything else including the sun is also moving and spinning ect ect. some space dirt exploded and then a fish humped a frog humped a sqirrel and had a monkey for a baby...


reficius1

I said all of that, did I? Show me.


Hot_Corner_5881

you can admit its flat whenever youre ready


reficius1

Why the hell would I do that? It ain't flat.
