    Maybe I should’ve put this in lemmyshitpost because I didn’t expect anyone to think it was serious.

      I have very sensitive antennae when it comes to flat earth bullshit and also started to develop an allergy to non-science. So I beg your pardon that I asked…

        Well you aren’t the only one, so maybe I should have laid the sarcasm on more clearly. I thought most people would read the title as tongue-in-cheek.

          Honestly the internet has made me paranoid about who is and isn’t serious and who may or may not be a stupid twat

          Sorry captain, but I’ve heard a lot of Flat Earthers that use that exact phrase and act like its a gotcha that the Earth supposedly moves with 1675 km/h (it doesn’t, it rotates at a 15 degrees per hour drift Thanks bob) can’t be felt.

            Wow, I’m surprised they even try to explain it mathematically at all. Like, if you’re going to believe something crazy, numbers clearly aren’t going to make or break your conviction.

              Oh yeah, they use loony toons maths to explain certain aspect of reality while a globe earth would explain it all at the same time.
