The earth is flat, change my mind - HerrWinston - Jul 20, 2025
Change my mind, the earth is flat and no one can prove otherwise! lets see.... (i will actually try to debate this)
Edit!
1. Person ( Stephen ) changed my mind
2. Person ( W1NK1LL3RX ) convinced me!
3. Person ( Phantom_NiNja ) did too!
4. Person ( Mech ) did it aswell!
5. Person ( Pοιsonlεaf ) did it too, a little late perhaps!
Try it yourself!

I've flown to the same destination from 2 different directions (East and West). Yes, that means "around the world."

I remember hearing once that the website for the Flat Earth Society claimed to have members from across the globe. Flat Earthers are fake.

The earth is flat.

The world isn't flat. The world is a sphere.
How you can tell is by looking at aircraft flying past you. The planes fly in the straight light at the same altitude.
As you watch them pass by your. You will see them fly over you and then it looks as if it starts to descend downwards.
in reality it's at the same altitude and is going straight. It's that the curvature of the sphere makes it look as if it's descending downwards.
into the horizon.

I've always been open minded when it comes to 'conspiracies' .. as in, I've always been willing to give people the benefit of the doubt with their theories.. until enough facts prove them wrong. For example, the moon landing.. we didn't go, or at least it wasn't the way they claimed we did.. there is way too much evidence proving that they lied about so much of the stuff they told us in regards to this.. Bart Sibrel proved this. We're in 2025, and we still don't have the technology to put a human on Moon... regardless of all the advances in mechanics and technology, but somehow we did it on our first try back in the '60s.. pretty hard to convince anyone with common sense this. We've been trying to put a human on the moon for the past 20 years.. and still can't, but we did it on our first try in the 60s.. if you believe this, I got some swap land I would like to sell you for $50 an acre. :)
Now when it comes to Flat Earth, I gave this theory the benefit of the doubt.. watched countless videos and documentaries trying to prove the theory, but in the end, none of them had credible evidence that the earth was flat. There is much more evidence to prove that earth is round, then there is to say that it's flat. The fact NASA never took an actual photo of the Earth "while on the moon" was the one thing that allowed me to even consider that the Earth might be flat, because why would they go all the way to the moon.. and not take a photo of Earth? That would make zero sense. But that was more so because they didn't go to the moon.. not because the Earth was flat. The Earth is round.. saying it's flat is a cute theory, but there is no credible evidence to back this theory.

I do not have to change your mind. I believe you are allowed to believe what you want and you should not be judged for it. Many people have many different opinions.
