For anyone who believes the Earth is flat I am not here to say you fell for a psyop, call you names, or insult you in general. I just have a few questions and observations I would like to have addressed. I am being respectful so please do the same.

1) I hear many people who are flat earth believers say sunrise and sunsets are perspective. My question, why is it if when you use a solar filter on a camera you can photograph the sun from sunrise to sunset you can clearly observe the sun come from behind a physical barrier, stay the same size, and then disappear bottom up behind a physical barrier? If the Earth were flat the sun is small and local, the sun should change size as it moves farther away from observer but this is not what is observed.

2) when walking cross country, why is it if I use compass, walk one mile, turn 60 degrees, walk one more, turn 60 degrees, and walk a third mile ibwill not end up near where I began. But doing the same thing with 90bdegree turns inl donl end up back where I started? If the earth were flat why would I need to make a triangle with internal angles equal to 270 degrees as opposed to 180 degrees?

3) why is it objects, regardless of their mass all accelerate at the exact same rate towards the earth when dropped? [Note you can't say density as density isn't a force and cannot give objects a vector and you cannot say buoyancy as to calculate buoyancy you have to factor in gravity]

4) why is it a pendulum drifts differently based on you position on earth?

5) why does Earth have an atmospheric pressure gradient starting at 14.7 psi and gradually decreasing as you gain elevation eventually reaching near 0? If the earth were contained then the gas particles would be hitting a physical barrier like the flat earth claims to be why do we not have a uniform pressure regardless of altitude?

6) why does every gyroscope on every aircraft all detect a 15 degree per hour drift regardless of it they're moving or stationary? [Note you can't claim its detecting the movement of the sky as the gyros are sealed and can't detect movement of the sky]

7) what would be the reason to lie about the shape of the Earth? [Note you can't say to make us turn from God, as of 2019 nearly 71% of all adults on the planet believe in a God or afterlife, most of those being Abrahamic religions so clearly this can't be the case]

8) why does a compass built in the northern hemisphere not work in the southern?

Again not being a dick I just want a real, scientifically based, intelligent answers, not the Bible says this, or this ancient culture believed this.

here is the post.

Except this is a straw man argument because you can’t show that any of the other celestial bodies are spheres. Fail again.

Yeah, Saturn's rings are flat as hell!

Also Flat Earthers don’t believe in “outer space.” The planets are mobile lights in the sky, and that’s all you can know of them. So this is a straw man within a straw man. Leave it to globetards to upvote a double fallacy.

What of your own suffers if the earth is flat?

I know people who scream bloody murder if you suggest the Beatles were not exactly what we think.

It keeps them in the dark.

You can’t? So some aliens went and shaded the moon and shit to make it look spherical? This whole thing is retarded and has always been used as a distraction from actual issues. I don’t give a fuck if the earth is somehow actually flat. That would be extremely surprising, but whatever. You and all the other flat earth obsessed retards seem like such fucking faggots I wouldn’t believe you anyway.

Something can resemble a sphere and not actually be a sphere.

Like how you guys think we live on a ball even though everything looks like a flat horizon.

I look at the moon every night that I can and it is the same face facing us every time. The same pattern is always visible.

That's because our moon is tidaly locked its orbital rotation matches ours so we only ever see one side
