kinda like war of the worlds: aliens with interstellar travel and devastating futuristic weaponry, yet no immune systems
I'm not sure that is the same thing.

invading an alien planet without complete knowledge of all its lifeforms is not farfetched. Similar things have happened here on earth.

they didn't have interstellar travel: they had interplanetary travel to the closest world.

And in this goofball theory...is the flat earth laying flat perpendicular to the sun, or does it stand upright and run parallel? INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

The U.S. managed to get to the moon while simultaneously losing the Vietnam War.

Technically we gave up the Vietnam war. We said "F*#K it" and left because it would have turned into a global nuclear war and winning wasnt worth it. So its not like we COULDNT have won, we just didnt think it was worth it to do what was needed to win. So we gave up. And yeah thats the same as losing but you know what i mean...

The US didn't gave up. It lost a chess game. Using nukes in Vietnam would have given no more strategic advantage than what was already being done at the time - bombing Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia back to the stone ages.

I'm not sure but when I made the mistake of clicking the link earlier in the thread I did see a comment about the sun supposedly does some sort of figure 8 over the flat earth.

You can fly from either end of the continent and end up on the other side of the other continent. You can't go to the poles because it's too cold and dangerous, like space. You can't explain that. The world is actually a cylinder and we live on the outer surface. China is the only country that lives in the inner part of the cylinder. That's why if you dig far enough you end up there.

I remember looking at these idiots a few years back because of something someone wrote or said here.
I couldn't believe there were people from this era that would believe such horseshit.
From what I remember.

1) Sun and Moon are the same size, both, approx 2500 miles above earth
2) South pole doesn't exist. It's an ice wall that keeps earth's water enclosed.
3) Satellites don't exist. It's a conspiracy from the countries that have them
4) NASA is a fraud. All those space pics are all photoshops. It's another conspiracy started from the US.
5) Obviously, we never went to the moon. All those Mars landers and planetary probes? All fake.

I stopped reading about them as I felt a large IQ drop coming my way.

Seems legit...

Global warming's going to be a real problem.

Interestingly in a flat earth model it means the seas would go down quite a lot, perhaps drain completely leaving small lakes behind. With round Earth it's totally the opposite.

Will be interesting to see their explanation when the ice caps do melt completely and water rises. Though I think flat earth people are also climate change deniers right? They might blame SpaceX for making too many holes in the Earth dome and it's letting space rain in and it's causing flooding.

Nah, it'll be better than thought. No sea level rise! We'll actually accumulate a bunch more land. Of course we'll need to be prepped to drive sheet pile so we don't lose all the water, but that means more blue collar jobs!

We need to build a sea wall and make the space nazis pay for it. They will be getting all our water after all. Then at least the wall will keep some of the water in.

The world is actually a cylinder and we live on the outer surface. China is the only country that lives in the inner part of the cylinder. That's why if you dig far enough you end up there.

Actually you can fly over the poles if you so wish. There have even been commercial flights that have flown over them but most don't since they have understandably instituted rules that require some pretty expensive, heavy and bulky safety gear in the case of a crash. Most sane people don't fly over the poles because, well to be perfectly honest it just isn't a sane activity and if insane shit is your game there are way more fun things to do.

So you might have to rent your own plane, pay an absurdly high insurance premium, buy a fuckton of emergency safety gear to survive in the Antartic and then find a pilot crazy enough to fly the plane but it is doable. The only other argument I've heard cited is that "but but but you can't land at any of the runways in Antartica!!!" Well duh, there aren't any commercial airports there and the places that do have runways don't exactly have a ton of resources to provide to every asshole who decides to land there.

A flat Earther (or cylindrical? Earther) would deny the fact that flights can use the poles. But yeah a lot of flights actually do pass through north pole area, ex: going from middle of Canada to Russia is probably shorter that way. Noticed lot of flights destined for China that pass right over where I live and are heading north. I have a ADS-B receiver I installed for fun so see all sorts of interesting traffic.
