Any decent photographer will engage in "post processing" work using Photoshop and other photo editing software. That doesn't mean they're faking the photo. It means they're taking out imperfections, glare, excessive shading, etc. to make it appealing. Portrait photographers do this all the time. That doesn't mean the subject in their photos is fake. Quoting: Tars Tarkas, Jr. When you are giving photographic evidence of something, you DO NOT photoshop it... get real No, it's time you dumbfucks "get real". NASA doesn't publish photos to use as evidence to prove a globe earth. They publish them as part of their site for people who want to see the Earth from a distance. They're not even thinking of "evidence" because they, like most normal people, can't phathom that there enough stupid people out there that need "proof" that the Earth is round. |

Quoting: 74444 That is the *definition* of an ad hominem, as you continue to attack me personally rather than the points and observations that have been laid out, that nearly anyone can duplicate for themselves. If you are merely pontificating to support a specific belief system, my I suggest you amend the title of the thread to reflect this? Point - why is NASA lying?! Comment on it or cease. I gave you my opinion of NASA above. Again, it provides no relevance to the shape of the Earth: some of the proofs of the shape of the Earth provided predate NASA by millennia. While im tempted to agree that NASA has no say in the shape of the Earth... You must agree that, NASA is the foremost authority on space and the Earth. They use billions, annually, in supposed tax dollars, to conduct this "research"... why you are going out of your way to state that this is not relevant to the discussion, is beyond my understanding. OBVIOUSLY the department that is paid billions to inform the public of the "truths of our reality" are relevant to the discussion of the shape of our Earth... I literally dont know why I keep replying to you, when you are so obviously projected by malice and not truth. Why? Why? are you this way? You can probably help... Why do you choose this path? You have avoided ALL of the questions posed to you by 74444. That's because you CANNOT answer them and still maintain your fake belief in a flat Earth. Or maybe you don't really believe in that at all. Maybe you're just here to discredit other legitimate conspiracies. Heaven knows that FEers are either the dumbest asses around or they're part of some major shilling operation. |

SO NASA IS THE AUTHORITY AND THE AIRLINE ROUTES DO FLY A POLAR ROUTE INSTEAD OF FLYING TO DUBAI AND THEN BACK DOWN TO THEIR DESTINATION A TWO DAY FLIGHT 2400 MILES OR DO THE AIRLINES FLY RIGHT FROM SOUTH AMERICA TO SOUTH AFRICA TO AUSTRALIA IN ONE DAY NOT !!! THAT'S WHY THE AROUND THE WORLD OCEAN RACE CUTS DOWN FROM SOUTH AFRICA TO AUSTRALIA TO COMPLETE MILES TRAVELED TO EQUAL DISTANCE OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF EARTH WHICH CAN NOT BE DONE ON A ROUND EARTH |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 81278245 United States 11/26/2021 09:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let's see. Explain retrograde planetary motion. That alone put the ax to notion of a geo-centered system. How about the South Pole or the North Pole during the half of the year when the sun never sets, or the half when the sun never rises over the horizon? When the realization came that we were NOT the center of the universe, that the Earth is a planet, a sphere, like all the other planets revolving around a star, everything that didn't make sense beforehand suddenly fell into place and the mathematics and science of it all supported every bit of it. This flat Earth insanity reminds me of the movie, IDIOCRACY, and I see it all around me. |

Forgive my not clicking it, but I'd rather the authors don't make any money off my mouse clicks. Why can't the Earth be modelled accurately on a flat map (Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate) if it was, itself, flat? [link to geoawesomeness.com (secure)] Why can't you get the distances between cities worldwide to be modelled correctly on a flat map? How can there be direct flights between Africa, South America, and Australia on a flat Earth? The distances become far too great for flights that exist. Why are great Circle routes used in long-distance aircraft navigation? Why has spherical trigonometry been used to navigate the Earth, for centuries? Why do Foucault pendulums precess? On a flat Earth, where does Coriolis come from? Why are all the other planets we can observe spheres? Why is the shadow of the Earth when the Moon is eclipsed a sphere? Why do constellations in the Southern Hemisphere circle a different point than the constellations in the Northern hemisphere on a flat Earth? Heck, why are there different Southern Constellations on a flat Earth? How does the FE believer explain this? [link to www.triplem.com.au (secure)] |

( let alone proportion of distance from the equidistant ) 1Day and night 2 the seasons You are aiming way to high . My expectations of these clowns has grown so low, it's a challenge for them to disappoint me: still , I am sure they will try the best they can ...

Let's discuss the merits of both models, using actual evidence and counter evidence. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80406901 Im perfectly fine to believe either, as long as it is the truth. First and foremost, all supposed pictures of the Earth of space, are admittedly (by those that created the images) photoshopped. Lets start here and see where we go. What if I told you it is actually square and your mind is just programmed to interpret it as either flat or square. The programmers just did it that way to mess with us, they were jokesters! |

It's a crazy mixed up world eh! Just like the Bible says it would be (and has been). |
