Well hold on. I may have just woken up, but, if earth were a disc, couldn't the disc just be rotating and or flipping?
Edit: I am slightly more awake now and had a laugh. What if the underside of earth had stuff down there? And what if you could get down there somehow? And what if the ground were just continuous? I feel like gravity is important here. Fuckin flat earthers, man.
That's where you get a lot of the real ๐คฏ-tier pseudoscience and pseudohistory.
Dinosaurs and lizard people are down there. Nazis and Communists are down there. Mole people. Atlantis. The Garden of Eden. The sky is the limit.
Lmao jfc, they might as well say the undesirables
Yeah, that's how I've seen them describing near-equator orbits more than once. (Back when the entire thing was an internet joke, the models were very funny.)
It's polar orbits they have an issue with.
I'm significantly more awake and just realized this is a shitpost. The human mind is an interesting thing.
Do you still have evidence of the old posts or any of the old models of how orbits work?
There's a comment in another thread here with a video.
This is because flat earthers don't understand anything about science or physics or basic common sense and as a result believe the most insane things.
They spend their entire time trying to come up with increasingly convoluted ways that a flat earth could work, rather than just accepting that the simplest explanation is that, in fact, isn't flat. Their explanation for why you can't see mount Everest from the top of any reasonably high hill anywhere else on earth, involves throwing out all scientific thinking back to Aristotle and starting again, don't believe in geometry or infinitely parallel lines.
According to flat earth supporters, if the earth were moving in any way at all you would feel it. Since we don't feel any motion obviously the earth is stationary
This is why airplanes and trains are also stationary for most of the trip.
