Hahaha, got no time for lil trolls, your brain must be pear shaped like Neil said the earth is. hahahaahaa
And math and physics are specialties to me, @joe.nobel Do you know how to use Auto-Cad? I can send you a file disproving the so called curvature. Let me know?
Fact checking is fun and educational. If you would have actually watched what Tyson said, in the one minute prior to him calling it pear shaped, he stated that it's almost a perfect sphere. So, which one of these is the perfect sphere, and which one is the oblateness the same shape as the earth?
I'm not sure what science you think you are advancing by not fact checking and being dishonest about what people say. Do you think that is how to advance science? By being intellectually dishonest?
Also, I have no idea why you would think the tilt of the earth would make it inconsistent with the equator being (in general) the warmest place on earth? Can you please explain why that would be so? Because your meme doesn't explain that. Perhaps you are confused as to how light rays work? Or you do not understand how large the sun is?
And I honestly can't comprehend what the meme means by 'actual flat earth temperature data'. Don't you mean 'actual earth data'? Then you are leaping to the conclusion that it's a flat earth without having proven that.
I could also just say 'Actual round earth data' and you'd complain that I leaped to a conclusion and made assumptions. So, why is your assumption that it's 'actual flat earth data' correct? What 'data' made it 'flat earth data' and not 'globe earth data' other than that is what the meme declares without evidence? If you are an expert in math and physics, then you should understand how the scientific method works. It doesn't work by posting a meme and declaring victory, last I checked.
Also, I've LIVED in Equatorial areas, and they are actually some of the more temperate places. Medellin, Colombia is known as the 'City of Eternal Spring' and Bogota, Colombia is cool and temperate. Ecuador is quite pleasant too, and can even get cool. In the quite a bit of time I've spent on the equator, I never really even was sweaty!
Can you please explain these things? Using logic and reason, as a scientist would?
Good follow up.
But sadly these flat earth people already "know". Therefore there is no arguing with them. In that I mean persuading with facts. I don't even know why I engaged him in the first place, being against my better judgement, and knowing there's no talking sense into that kind of mentality.
Upvoting you, not him.
Because of memes like this that flat earthers put up, where they just pull some random natural phenomenon and say that it can only happen on a flat earth without explanation, I started doing a series of utter nonsense memes that say things like, "Heads aren't flat. That's 100% proof we live on a spinning ball" and one is "Hedgehogs. Impossible on a flat earth".
I feel that my memes that I literally just pulled out of my ass as a joke have as much validity as memes like the one above.
Heyya, please don't flag comments in the future due to disagreements, save flags for abuse/plagiarism, etc.
Hedgehogs! Love it! upvoted you again, just for that.
Keep on rockin' --- and espousing science. That's the only hope we have left.
