You could just say you don't have an answer instead of making claims that "no single south pole exists" or that spherical magnets can't be dipolar. You don't have any way of knowing if the Earth has multiple south poles and you definitely can't answer my question of how the poles can shift/reverse on the flat model. You are positing that your claims are correct when they are from the false premise of "you have to have a critical thinking mindset to ever understand flat earth".
Thought experiment, oh critical thinker. Take a rectangular bar magnet 2 inches long by 1 inch wide by 1 inch thick. The bar has it's north and south poles at the opposite ends of the 2 inch length. Carefully file that bar down until it forms a cube 1 x 1 x 1 inch. Now carefully file that cube's corners until you have a sphere. Where are the poles located now?
I’m not even being snarky, I actually like the idea of that experiment. And it’s an example of something that is scientific knowledge — it’s repeatable, demonstrable, and knowable. . . Unlike claiming to know what the earth’s “core” is made of, which literally no one could know considering the deepest hole ever dug was like 8 miles deep.
Also, I’m not “claiming” anything. It is a fact that the most widely accepted flat earth models don’t have a South Pole.

How is it a "fact" if there is more than one flat Earth model and those models can't even all agree on not having a south pole? That doesn't sound like "fact" at all.
Ok, let me rephrase that: NO flat earth model features a South Pole. If you go south, in the flat earth model, you are going away from the north “pole” in any and every direction outward.
There are different models with different nuances but we all agree that NASA is bullshit and all space missions are fake. The competing models are not at loggerheads; they just have subtle differences. If you stumble onto one that is dramatically different from the others, like the Flat Earth Society, it is controlled opposition.
He likes the idea of an experiment but will refuse all of them. Science repels him like a cross to a vampire.
Cool, you should do that experiment and make the world’s first dipole sphere magnet. Post your video.
Sure, as soon as you post your video showing how the poles of a ring magnet can reverse.
How do you know that the poles reverse? Not simply linking to a mainstream science article, which I could easily do myself, how are you confident that they reverse? I’m not saying they don’t, I just want to understand what kind of argument you’re making — empirical, or appeal to authority?
Many flat earth models including that of Mark Sargent maintain that the “earth” is an enclosed, artificial environment. That is, it was constructed by someone or something and is similar to a giant climate controlled terrarium. Electromagnets can be reversed with the flip of a switch. If the earth is a giant machine, so could its polarity be reversed. I don’t claim to know this is the case, but it is an intriguing theory.
