You need to talk to a different breed of people.
How people can regress so far in intelligence is baffling.

The smartest instructor we have is a huge flat earther. He’s a millwright which automatically makes him smarter than me but yea flat earther

Amazing huh?
Otherwise intelligent and skilled people have never seen footage of Gemini flights.
But they also believe space flights are all rigged.

You know, I’m the CTG by most accounts here, but holy hell you have to at least base your crazy shit on something possible/ probable.

Flat earthers/ chem trailers give a bad name to to the rest of us!

I was in Brazil in January. One of the guys in camp was from the Florida panhandle. He was a devoted flat Earther. He actually made some interesting observations. One that I found the most perplexing was a picture he had of the Statue of Liberty he took from 20 some odd miles away. He showed me the calculation, and at that distance, knowing the height of the Statue, it should have been something like 1250' below the horizon, yet was clearly visible, in its entirety.

Other than his flatEarth belief, he was a pretty normal dude, he could sure throw a 9 weight.

That said, I AM NOT A FLAT EARTH believer, I just found that interesting. He also had a picture of a lighthouse from 5 miles away on a beach. There was a pier between the lighthouse and the place where the picture was taken. You could see the sand 100% of the way between the pier and the lighthouse. Again interesting but certainly not any sort of proof.

Look up Terrestrial refraction. Changes in air temperature and humidity can cause objects to appear larger and closer than they actually are, even over the horizon or behind obstructions.

Another interesting question. Why are the continents on a globe so out of proportion. They have some interesting points. Not exactly proof but things that make you wonder. They also use the Bible quite a bit

Out of proportion compared to what?

If the earth is flat, then someone explain when I traveled for business trip how this worked. Always enjoyed traveling for work, but don’t miss my once a quarter around the world trips when I would visit all the MFG sites.

Leg 1 = LAX to Singapore (18 hours)
Leg 2 = Singapore to India (6 hours)
Leg 3 = India to Ireland (10 hours)
Leg 4 = Ireland to DC (7 hours)
Leg 5 = DC to LAX (6 hours)

It’s just not accurate. Check out the true size map

If you believe this stuff, what’s to say the true map size isn’t a fake conspiracy?

Continental drift. Another proven fact.

The Bible is a spiritual book written by man, when many men thought the world was flat.

No it’s been proven the globe is inaccurate. That’s what’s interesting.

Greenland isn’t that big. It’s way out of proportion
