I wonder how flat earthers explain it's winter here in S. America and summer in Europe, at the same time.
We are but a spinning plate in the grand cosmic microwave oven of the universe
... explain?
Piss off with you pro-establishment crap.
I think it was either a Miniminuteman or a Folding Ideas video that showed what some flatties proposed: the Sun moves in a wacky repeating spiral pattern above the surface. It's closer to the Arctic during summer and to the Antarctic during winter, which they claim to explain the different angles of incidence. Obviously that doesn't conform to any physical laws... observed phenomena... ideas that a person of ordinary intelligence might come up with... their own models of flat Earth... but flatties are nothing if not persistent in their dogmatic rejection of reality.
I imagine it is like moving a lamp over a table. Closer parts have summer and further away parts have winter.
Which is pretty funny because in the northern hemisphere during January, the sun is closest to us. It's our axial tilt that drives the winter, being tilted further away in winter.
But God forbid they learn some actual fucking science 😂
earth moves around the sun. moving a table over a lamp.
I'm sure there's both types of flat earthers.
jeffs and steves?
very easily:
The earth is flat; it’s just space that’s curved.
Their worldview is heavily built around Christian magic nonsense: The sky is a dome (firmament). Gravity doesn't exists, it's just buoyancy. They probably assume wind currents change and blow the cold off the icewall surrounding the world edge...
They think earth is flat and space is 3d
