Uh, is this supposed to be a humorous jab at flat earthers, or do you actually think that this doesn't add up and out yourself as a flat eather and in this case do you wish an explanation?

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

I think there’s a lot of friendly and socially conscious people on here but I’m so bad at detecting tone though text, and I feel like I’ve been seeing more open vileness from bigoted and conspiratorial types recently even on a lot of the the better parts of Lemmy

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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.

I thought everywhere was lemmyshitpost.

Any intelligent joke requires a disclaimer because of flat earthers, Qanoners and conservatives.
