The spherical earth was known to the early Greeks. They even measured the size of the earth.

Hey, flat earthers, if the earth is flat, I’d like to know how thick it is

Probably the same thickness as their skull

I'm surprised that there are so many YouTube channels defending the moon landing and the fact that the earth is a sphere. It seems to me that paying attention to the deniers just gives them more publicity. On the other hand, those offering genuine evidence are accumulating views and making some money.


And yet, here we are READING about those very same channels. The surprise continues.

I found this interesting fact written by Paul Sutter,
“During a lunar eclipse, Earth passes between the sun and the moon, allowing Earth to cast its shadow on the moon. That shadow is always, always, always a circle, no matter where you are on the planet, no matter the timing of the eclipse. Always.

The only way to always cast a circular shadow is if the thing casting the shadow — in this case, Earth — is a globe. It's a matter of geometry.”

Ah yes, common sense, science and facts - they don’t listen and do not believe -

“Never argue with an idiot they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you through experience.” – Mark Twain

Recognizing a fool is a bold step toward saving yourself an argument with such people and walking away.
It does good to remember:
*Fools have a fixed mindset
*They always bring up stupid logic to support their theory
*Despite what you mention or say, they will always try to bring you down to their playing field
*They believe their ways to be correct, and they are the only ways that will work for anyone
*They are never open to new ideas
*They will go to any level to prove their point

I know the earth is round by the slanting horizon lines in my photos!

70% of the earth is water and virtually none of it is carbonated. So the earth is, in fact, flat.


Of course! All that water has been sitting so long that the carbonation has escaped.

So that’s why the atmospheric CO2 has been increasing

Nah. All the whales already drank it. Now we know why they blow so hard when they surface!
