"The Earth is flat!"

"No it's not, you fucking moron!"

Refuted.

shaped like balloon tires or solid tires?

if flat earth is infinite where is the hole through which the sun emerges to rise in the morning?   and why don’t you see landscape behind the sun?

if there is a very tall wall of ice around the rim of a finite but flat earth, shouldn’t you be able to see that tall rim wall from, say, top of any tall mountain? or at least the nearest tall mountains from the rim, or across any flat sea that is bounded by the rim wall?

"It doesn't rise, it moves toward us."

"So why is it dark at night if the sun never sets?"

"Because you're an asshole, that's why."

Refuted futilely.

Clearly you are trying to refute the Flat Earth Theory without having studied it. Flat-Earthers are not going to find your arguments convincing.

I can’t say this enough: they’re not going to find ANYONE’S arguments convincing. That’s they’re flat earthers to begin with.

And - for the record - flat eartherism isn’t a theory.

Why do you think you know better about what Flat-Earthers might find convincing than somebody who used to be a Flat-Earther? I used to be a Flat-Earther. I know how they think probably better than you do.

Right, Flat Earth Theory is not a "theory", it's a bunch of ad-hoc hypotheses, often contradictory.

You can't save a drowning man who won't grab the rope. I talk to the young people, those who haven't ossified their minds yet. I get some of them thinking.

Every single line of evidence - without exception - indicates that the Earth is a globe. I don’t have to know any Flatties or have been one myself to grasp that anyone who rejects such a preponderance of evidence  has a mental block that prevents them from accepting it. I also don’t know any serial killers, but I feel comfortable in saying they have a disregard for human life.

If you know it’s not a theory, why did you call it one?
