Flat Earth Thread

Of course on a flat earth, you would see all of it all the time

False.

The so-called curvature of the Earth isn't why you can't see out like you think you should be able to. If that was the case, then we would be able to see the whole world if we were in the world's tallest building. Our eyesight is limited in general, especially due to the humidity in the air. Over a long enough distance, it creates a visual blanket that keeps us from being able to see. It's the same thing as when it's really foggy and you can't see anything but a blank area.

I thought poker players were supposed to be smart, but I guess you're just all sheep.

Contradiction. Wouldn't you expect to see the entire world from the top of the tallest building, if the earth was flat?

Not true. What's a "long enough distance"?

The circumference (or 'diameter' if you're being a troll) of the earth is some 25,000 miles. You're saying that at some distance less than 25,000 miles...the haze becomes thick enough to obscure vision at any further distance. Yet, I can stare straight through every layer of the atmosphere and some 200,000+ miles of outer space and see the moon. Wanna guess how far away stars are???

Oh yeah and time cube is one of the original memes of the internet. I'd love to see a clinical psychologist take this guy apart.
