Then there was the day Elon Musk found a group that was even stupider than the people he normally hangs out with:
Achivement unlocked: Dumber than Musk
It's always amusing to me which observations these people won't ignore while they ignore other observations. Like how do they draw the line?
Behold, the real reason why Elon launched a car into space.
someone who believes in a flat earth is also more likely to believe in the geocentric order of planets rather than the heliocentric one.
If not geocentric, then egocentric.
Americentric
I highly doubt they know what either of those mean, actually
But they heard the word once and it sounds sciency, so they keep repeating it.
I don’t know either
heliocentricism → the Sun is the center of the universe and all revolves around it
geocentrism → the Earth is the center of the universe and all revolves around it, including the sun
heliocentricism → the Sun is the center of the ~~universe~~ solar system and all revolves around it
That's what you meant to write...
Ha! You think flat earthers believe we aren't the center of the universe?
This actually explains why our planet is the only one with life. The aliens keep slipping off theirs!
How did the photographer get all the planets to pose like this?
It is AI generated
How did AI get the planets to hold still for so long?
It's just a parody of the planets. They're all Al dressed up in different costumes.
wheres the turtle holding the whole thing
Underneath the elephants!
The other planets and moons are flat too, bro. They just face us all the time. It's convenient like that.
Earth is the only flat planet AND the only one to have both liquid water and life. Checkmate, round-earth whackadoodles. /s
I mean, you obviously can't have oceans on a round planet. The water would just flow away into space.
Europa gets a pass because of all the ice holding it.
Ice can be round of course, we know that from ice cream.
Nonononononono! You got it wrong! The "sun" is just a giant heat lamp the government has been running ever since the beginning of time! The heat lamp moves while we stay stationary! /s
I thought Earth was Neapolitan style, but it was Chicago deep dish the whole time! If only I'd have known earlier!
This is such a misconstrued scale meant to be derisive against flat earthers. The accurate representation is a circle with cloud shrouded ice damns along the edge of the planet.
It's still dumb but should be accurate to what they believe.
And the sun should be a little ball above the Earth. Exactly how high and how big is not sure.
You also shouldn't ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.
Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you're just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.
Explanations for lunar and solar eclipses get silly too. Mercury and Venus passing in front of the sun is just ignored as it wouldn't fit between the Earth and the sun.
Imagine believing science enough to agree with scientists that Pluto isn't a planet, but not enough to believe Earth is round.
Pluto: :(
Pluto is where the conspiracy gets really crazy, which is why astronomers are trying to cover up it's existence.
We can argue about this all day but we should probably find something better to do in the short time we have left before we crash into the sun according to this diagram
