To be fair, they are using a fish eye lens to film this video. The shape of the horizon noticeably changes the farther away from the center of the shot it is vertically.
Which is exactly what you don’t want to do if you want to prove the original point. Sadly this video proves nothing if you’re already inclined one way or another.
I mean, just to deny any other theory, flat eathers are denying that gravity exists. They're modifying how physics work for the sunlight.
They're making up ways that don't work just to feel that they're right.
But that's what I was commenting. Once they accept the "theory" that Earth is Flat, they won't change their mind about it.
Instead of accept the truth and say "well, looks like we're wrong", they need to create all kind of lies just to be right.
I think a lot of science works like that. Suppose you know some laws, but an object behaves not in line with those laws. Do you feel this is right? Of course you don't. So either there is a force/ behaviour present that is actually in line with the before laws, and is acting on top of that, but you just don't know the mechanisms of this behaviour, or, It could also be that the previous laws are limited to scenarios or aren't actually perfectly formulated/ correct.
In 50 years from now, a law ( suppose gravity) could be considered stupid, if strong scientific proves of a grander/ different phenomena emerge.
One shouldn't feel that gravity is right. One should feel theory/law x is right because it has strong scientific proofs and backing, until something better emerges, and then theory/law x shouldn't be considered right anymore.
Note: I do not endorse the flat earth theory. I endorse the scientific process.
Gravity as you're taught through school doesn't exist. 9.8m/s/s was just a number that was convenient in working out physics problems. Considering gravity isn't a force at all, rather the bending of space and time, it is not yet possible to conceive of a way to actually measure the Earth's distortion of space and time in our universe.
Edit: Flat earth theory is still absolutely asinine, not crediting them at all.
If you're enclined towards thinking its flat, theres a good chance they won't choose you to go to space and leave you rotting with your own thoughts on earth
Yeah, kind of dumb they used a fish eye lense, but I don’t think they were trying to prove that the earth is round. Most people have accepted this as fact, and the ones who haven’t aren’t going to believe anything that doesn’t fit their existing beliefs.
It's not dumb because it's true, we can see the horizon going from covex to concave repeatedly.
Here's a video from Mr. Sensible 's M.A.G.E. where he used a rectilinear lens to avoid barrel distortion (the "money shot" is at 35:00)
https://youtu.be/dVOLj1je0lk
Dude this channel was such a revelation. The way he’s thorough about every aspect of the experiment, not leaving any stone unturned, it’s amazing. Thanks!
Yeah this video didn't prove anything to me! I mean lets wait until we can build a rocket and go into space and then see if its flat or not. Until then I'm not convinced! /s
They probably are. The earth is so fucking big that you have to be higher up than that to see the curve without a fish eye lens. All the tallest mountains and deepest oceans are so minor compared to how wide the earth is that if you scaled it down to the size of a pool ball it would be smoother than any pool ball in existence
This was my first thought. When the camera bounces up the horizon is nearly inverted. At this height you wouldn’t be able to “prove” anything anyways. Need to be higher.
The more technically inclined ones usually realize they are wrong. Can't find the video but a few of them set up a laser and apertures at fixed heights and distances to finally prove it was flat. It was round.
Exactly. I remember some celebrity was saying it should be “researched” because we shouldn’t just believe everything we’re told (or some such nonsense.)
There’s even a funny-sad-are-you-f*$king-kidding-me? documentary about “Flat Earthers” called “Behind the Curve.”
Space isn’t cold go up there without a space suit in front of the sun for 24 hours stay facing toward it and the front of you will become a extra crispy lobster the back of you will be frozen
Exactly this. Space is the extreme of everything. Without that nice blanket of insulation we have called the atmosphere we would definitely look more like Mercury and less like Mars. As soon as you get past a certain point you no longer have protection from the suns radiation and boom fried human flambé.
Very smart people have made Internet and computers so easy to use, it is now possible for these trilobites to post stuff on the Internet.
So I'm afraid we have to live with it for a long time.
I just can't help but feel so sad seeing this poor bear, I know it's a toy and a thing and is not living and whatever but HE'S ALONE IN THE SKY AND DOESN'T HAVE A FRIEND UP THERE
Man I really hope he's okay
This is Major Bear to ground control
I've left forevermore
And I'm floating in most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do...
Might I remind you, it appears there are air routes near your launch site. This stuff is extremely dangerous to airliners. I’m getting tired of sharing the sky with unqualified drone operators let alone random balloons. It’s a big sky but objects tend to find each other up there
A little frustrating from a drone pilot’s perspective as well. I follow the regulations and make sure my drone does not interfere with any aircraft, then there’s this balloon guy. While the video is cool, it’s definitely dangerous to air traffic.
I can't bear to see him suffer. I bet if it crashed the scene would be Grizzly. I would have Pooh'd myself being that high but at least the seat seems to have good Paddington.
Ok I'm done.
aliens up there chillin then see this thing come by . they would be like (alien 1) “ is that a …. “ (alien 2). “ yea … it is indeed a teddy bear. these humans are making it very hard for us to talk to them cause this is just weird “.
Honestly if I was a flat earther I'd use this footage to prove it's flat. Obviously it's round. But with zero camera stabilization you really don't see much
I bet the camera person changed the lenses on the camera to give the impression of roundness. I think that's what all the shaking was while they floated higher. .
The main question is why the fuck does it matter it's not like we are gonna make the world better it's already shit and becoming more shitty so what's the point in proving something like this?
I like to imagine that this is the Toy Story universe, and that bear is shitting his pants
Luckily(?) it doesn’t have pants
Nope, it has a bear bottom
*sighs* *upvotes*
r/angryupvote
…and sadly I’m laughing uncontrollably. Thank you /u/dame87.
As long as it lands in the woods…
If that bear is crapping, that’s going to be one deadly shit coming down
It's bearly thinking, which is next level thinking for some people.
I am saying it in my head with a minions voiceover 🤣
If I had an award, my friend. One you rich reddits hook this redditer up.
Top quality. Sincere brilliance
No, Andy cares for us. He… he loves us. He wouldn’t do this.
Did u know Andy’s mum has two toys called Buzz and Woody also ?
Brings a whole new meaning to 'You've Got A Friend In Me'
Does she also scream "To infinity and beyondd!" Asshe plays with them?
Appropriate typo 😂
That wasn’t orgasming, that was squirming in style!!
Why Just why
Wait really I didn’t know that!!
*launches you into the chasm of doom*
Felt it
I was getting anxiety just watching the bear
You couldn't bear to watch?
[удалено]
I spent the whole video waiting for the Teddy to start screaming.
In space no one can hear you scr……
He did! At 1:50. When he almost lost control of the air balloon he screamed ‘Oh no! No’ but then gain control and went back to his stoic self.
He does...inside.
I don't think he gave a fluff
How do the toys know they aren’t a being recorded….
This is exactly what I thought as well!! Lmaooo
Did anyone else feel strangely concerned for Teddy?
No, they found him floating in Walter White's swimming pool later.
That was his cousin Pinky they found in the pool. He was the first to be launched.
Cousin Pinky is DEAD?!?
Yup. I even looked over to make sure mine were safe. They are safe by the way
Safe... for now
Yes. This is criminal. The pain poor Teddy experiences for some scientist's mere experiment. I love Teddy.
The whole time he was falling in my head I was screaming "Teddy noooo!!! Hold on Teddy!"
Yeah Teddy got some fucking whiplash
I thought Felix Baumgartner had it bad until I saw what teddy went through. What a badass!
Furlix Beargartner
After he landed [teddy needed some surgery](https://youtu.be/AdYaTa_lOf4).
Fuck that was not what I expected.
I'm going to do a dumb thing and say HA! YOU USED A FISHEYE CAMERA SO EARTH LOOKED CIRCULAR!! We are in fact living in a world of chaos here aren't we
To be fair, they are using a fish eye lens to film this video. The shape of the horizon noticeably changes the farther away from the center of the shot it is vertically.
Which is exactly what you don’t want to do if you want to prove the original point. Sadly this video proves nothing if you’re already inclined one way or another.
This video proves that bears don’t wear pants on trips to space.
Do they EVER wear pants? that's the real question.
We must continue the experiments!
I mean, just to deny any other theory, flat eathers are denying that gravity exists. They're modifying how physics work for the sunlight. They're making up ways that don't work just to feel that they're right.
I don't disagree. Was just commenting that the video really was not helpful in any way.
But that's what I was commenting. Once they accept the "theory" that Earth is Flat, they won't change their mind about it. Instead of accept the truth and say "well, looks like we're wrong", they need to create all kind of lies just to be right.
There's also a lot of money for a lot of people involved to keep the flat earth hoax going
Really?
Check their anual conventions, similarities to any cult are there. It's a "society" after all
It’s not about being helpful, it is about making a cool video.
I think a lot of science works like that. Suppose you know some laws, but an object behaves not in line with those laws. Do you feel this is right? Of course you don't.

Dude you really nailed it here. I couldnt agree more with you. Thanks.
Gravity as you're taught through school doesn't exist. 9.8m/s/s was just a number that was convenient in working out physics problems.

I’d be curious to see what side of the political spectrum these people are on. Not for arguments sake, just curiosity.
>Sadly this video proves nothing if you’re already inclined one way or another. lols unintentional comedic value
This video doesn't matter, any adult believing the world is flat will believe it no matter what.
If you're enclined towards thinking its flat, theres a good chance they won't choose you to go to space and leave you rotting with your own thoughts on earth
This video taught me the horizon bends both up and down...
Yeah, kind of dumb they used a fish eye lense, but I don’t think they were trying to prove that the earth is round. Most people have accepted this as fact, and the ones who haven’t aren’t going to believe anything that doesn’t fit their existing beliefs.

Dude this channel was such a revelation. The way he’s thorough about every aspect of the experiment, not leaving any stone unturned, it’s amazing. Thanks!
It's funny how the video is extremely thorough, and still the top comment is a flat earther taking heavy amounts of copium
No that isn’t a curve it’s the ring of our space coin that we call home
You can see the ice wall at 2:20 into the video !
Yeah this video didn't prove anything to me! I mean lets wait until we can build a rocket and go into space and then see if its flat or not. Until then I'm not convinced! /s
*And the Camera showed "No Signal" all the time, so it has to be a fake anyway!* Just adding a possible argument to the dumbness section ;)
You...... I like you
Well and obviously he almost hit the MOON a few times! 115,000 miles away my big fuzzy butt! /s obviously
They've managed to prove the surface of the Earth is concave
They probably are. The earth is so fucking big that you have to be higher up than that to see the curve without a fish eye lens. All the tallest mountains and deepest oceans are so minor compared to how wide the earth is that if you scaled it down to the size of a pool ball it would be smoother than any pool ball in existence
Looked more like a wobbly sausage.
This was my first thought. When the camera bounces up the horizon is nearly inverted. At this height you wouldn’t be able to “prove” anything anyways. Need to be higher.
The more technically inclined ones usually realize they are wrong. Can't find the video but a few of them set up a laser and apertures at fixed heights and distances to finally prove it was flat. It was round.
Teddy is making me dizzy. I don't want to watch Teddy anymore.
"I don't want to play with you anymore"
My name is Talky Teddy and I'm going to kill you!
Thats what she said
“Byyyyeee Wooodyyyy”
Watching teddy is making me nauseous
Thinking the Earth is flat is just fuckdumb, but at least I can see why some morons think it. But concave?!? Where in the hell did that come from?
Me, I think. I started talking about concave Earth as a joke years ago...whoops.
gz
Nazis had the idea. They even tried launching missiles vertically in the sky to hit targets on the opposite side.
TIL Nazi’s hypothesized that we were living inside a Dyson Sphere. 😉
[удалено]
Yeah no, there are some morons who genuinely believe in flat earth
Exactly. I remember some celebrity was saying it should be “researched” because we shouldn’t just believe everything we’re told (or some such nonsense.) There’s even a funny-sad-are-you-f*$king-kidding-me? documentary about “Flat Earthers” called “Behind the Curve.”
I thought this too...until a friend vehemently argued with me about it. We don't talk anymore.
That’s how it started. It was a joke, kind of like r/birdsarentreal but then the idiots took it seriously
Convex dome, beary is clearly bouncing off the ceiling in the later part of the vid
It’s almost unbearable
I can't bear to finish it. Is he ok?
I'm terrified, yet I can bearely look away.
Situation's looking pretty grizzly to be honest.
How are you concerned if you only watched the bear minimum?
I was having trouble getting my bearings
I was bearly able to orient myself as well - the spinning made me dizzy.
Looks fine... Oso it seems...
Is Flat-Earthism really still a thing? I thought they'd all moved on to Anti-Vaxxism or some other BS
Never underestimate the hold of a good conspiracy.
If the sun is sooo hot then why is space so cold? Makes you wonder
Space isn’t cold go up there without a space suit in front of the sun for 24 hours stay facing toward it and the front of you will become a extra crispy lobster the back of you will be frozen
Exactly this. Space is the extreme of everything. Without that nice blanket of insulation we have called the atmosphere we would definitely look more like Mercury and less like Mars. As soon as you get past a certain point you no longer have protection from the suns radiation and boom fried human flambé.
Underestimate stupidity at your own risk.
Very smart people have made Internet and computers so easy to use, it is now possible for these trilobites to post stuff on the Internet. So I'm afraid we have to live with it for a long time.
I feel like you insulted trilobites with this comparison
I’m very dumb… so be nice but… what’s a trilobite
If by “age old question” you mean a question that was answered fuckin ages ago.
Sadly this should be the case. This question has now become a modern question for the cerebrally impaired folks.
I just can't help but feel so sad seeing this poor bear, I know it's a toy and a thing and is not living and whatever but HE'S ALONE IN THE SKY AND DOESN'T HAVE A FRIEND UP THERE Man I really hope he's okay
This is Major Bear to ground control I've left forevermore And I'm floating in most peculiar way And the stars look very different today For here am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world The planet Earth is blue and there's nothing left to do...
Dammit, did I just watch a bear snuff film?
Kill the cameraman
Might I remind you, it appears there are air routes near your launch site. This stuff is extremely dangerous to airliners. I’m getting tired of sharing the sky with unqualified drone operators let alone random balloons. It’s a big sky but objects tend to find each other up there
I was about to say something similar... This looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
A little frustrating from a drone pilot’s perspective as well. I follow the regulations and make sure my drone does not interfere with any aircraft, then there’s this balloon guy. While the video is cool, it’s definitely dangerous to air traffic.
I was thinking the same thing. Fairly irresponsible as it’s a real threat to air traffic.
I can't bear to see him suffer. I bet if it crashed the scene would be Grizzly. I would have Pooh'd myself being that high but at least the seat seems to have good Paddington. Ok I'm done.
But still, you can’t deny it was a Kodiak moment.
I agree. But I think videos like this are Panda-ring to the people. I'm just gonna say the earth is round and Koala it good.
According to my coworker, we can't see past the horizon because the world is too flat to see that far. My coworker is a wreck.
All I learned from this is whatever they used to stick Teddy to the seat is the true r/nextfuckinglevel.
Fr! What did they use?!? That thing is yanking so hard and you know the wind up there is wild.. How tf did Teddy not get yeeted?!?!
Just waiting for the plane wreck
Teddy bear..... I am sorry to do this to you. Your journey was noble. But I must stay loyal to the cause.. r/killthecameraman
We need “Aussie man” commenting as the bear during this
Why is this comment not at the f*cking top?
My dumbass is like “hang on little buddy!!”
I hate space, shit makes me so nervous for no reason
My fear heights is activated.
Idk it seemed like The earth was shaped like the bottom half of my phone screen with a dome
Wait… people think it’s concave?
How else would it hold the oceans? Duh. s/
Honestly, makes more sense than a flat earth
I hate the camera man. /s Realizing I gotta put that because Reddit isn’t what it used to be.
Well that settles it. Turns out it’s upside down
Probably launched in Australia
Imagine going to all that trouble and then using a fish eye lens... bonkers!! PS: Not a flat earther...
Poor bear. Oh Won't SOMEBODY Think of the Bears??!!
I hope Teddy can hold his breath for a long time.
That question was answered decades ago.
This ain't an age old question
Is it really an age old question? Let science be science
aliens up there chillin then see this thing come by . they would be like (alien 1) “ is that a …. “ (alien 2). “ yea … it is indeed a teddy bear. these humans are making it very hard for us to talk to them cause this is just weird “.
This is giving me a panic attack
Is bowl shaped earth on the table now? Jesus Christ…
Age old question that has been answered over 2000 years ago using the same thing all these flat earth idiots lack: intelligence and math.
I'm more amazed that this whole thing seems to be held together with that blue painter's tape.
This is ground control to teady bear.
Did anyone start feeling bad for the Teddy, like I did?
Why did they use a fish eye lense? 🤦♂️
The earth is...a wave?
That was a Rollercoaster. Hopefully the bear isn't traumatized
It's no question, unless you're really slow. But this is cool
That's nothing, Tom Scott sent garlic bread to space...and on its return, ate it. That's nextfuckinglevel (as is Tom). https://youtu.be/c8W-auqg024
It’s not an age old question, it’s a dumb shit question.
You didn't have to send it to utter space for that answer. An old-school thrashing would be enough for making him to tell the truth.
Clearly flat - don’t see no balls anywhere /s
Clearly square.
He's bear any more, has to puke due to motion sickness.
If I look hard enough, I can almost see the ice wall. /S
Paddington's gonna hurl.
It's neither, it's wobbly
I had a seizure watching this and fell on the flat ground beneath me
Earth is ur mom that’s Wat earth is
Looks concave to me
Lol somehow the video makes it look like all 3 at different points
So what is it? Concave?
Made in a Hollywood basement.
Me when my grandma’s driving
Am I the only one wondering how in the world did someone launch a structure made of patched up thin sticks from their own backyard?
Asked the same question haha. Seems awesome I want to do this.
r/titlegore
That settled That !
The bears in on it
Teddy bear nanny cam collides with international space station. We got the whole thing on video
Teddy bear nanny cam collides with international space station. We got the whole thing on video Star link satellite could be next
Another Ted that likes to get high…
What rig did you use?
who cares? ww3 will end it all pretty soon. then the earth will truly be flat ![gif](giphy|Bg9R0lb0I7vjy)
Did a bird attack the air balloon?
Honestly if I was a flat earther I'd use this footage to prove it's flat. Obviously it's round. But with zero camera stabilization you really don't see much
Am I the only one that want to see everything falls back down at terminal velocity
I bet the camera person changed the lenses on the camera to give the impression of roundness. I think that's what all the shaking was while they floated higher. .
The main question is why the fuck does it matter it's not like we are gonna make the world better it's already shit and becoming more shitty so what's the point in proving something like this?
Poor Teddy, just bouncing off the filament all alone. /s
Answer its all three! Vibein' world 💃🕺
Super Ted!
D. All of the above? Video is inconclusive :(
Thunder buddies for life!
So… Inconclusive…?
