"Nathan Oakley thinks..." I'm going to stop you right there

Two flat earth engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top. A sphericist walked by and asked what they were doing.

"We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole, " said a flat earther, "but we don't have a ladder."

The sphericist took a wrench from a bag, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground.

The sphericist took a tape measure from the bag, took a measurement and announced, "Twenty one feet, six inches, " and walked away.

One flat earther shook his head and laughed, "Typical sphericist ! We ask for the height and the sphericist gives us the length!"

I'm a deck officer in the merchant navy, bachelor's degree in maritime navigation and a master's degree in the same field. It's so frustrating to watch them talking about sextants and celestial navigation because they have no idea about them at all.

"Because the sun moves in our sky as if we lived on a sphere orbiting said sun, we will never be able to calculate the distance to the sun because we don't live on a sphere." Such amazing logic. Really top notch stuff.

Nathan Oakley is proof that you can't win an argument with a flerf because the moment you try to point out where they are incorrect you're instantly so far outside their ability to comprehend that it sounds like gibberish to them. They immediately start incorrectly spewing the names of logical fallacies, elevation angles, GP's, density disequilibrium and vacuum containment.

Calculating a straight line between two observers on the earth really strikes a chord.

Using your instructions, I went and found that other chap (in less than 10 seconds, very easy) and stumbled across a live video he was doing. It was 2 hours in and they were still going on about the triangles. They, using flawed math, thought they were onto something and ran with it. I mean, they ran and ran and ran, as if the more they tried to explain it, the more believable it would be. I watched until it got painful, about 10 minutes and left. I see the video went for over 4 hours. They were very pleased with themselves, I think I lost IQ points.

It must be really hard to avoid strawmanning Nate's arguments when all Nate's arguments are made of straw.

I would literally pay money to hear Nathan complaining to the airline about how they should fire their pilot because he follows the "globe model". 😂😂😂😂

[andrewolson]

Flerfs apparently think the word "debunk" means "failed to comprehend."

„Nathan Oakley thinks“

If only he would…

The dog probably knows more than a typical flat-earther.

[helgey]

Love that the dog spends most of the video just looking at you like "why are you not petting me right now?'

[BadBrucey]

Nathan is always so confident in his misunderstanding of math and physics that other Flat Earther's just nod their heads and go along with whatever he says.

Flat Earther: *screaming obscenities and making overt threats*
Also Flat Earther: *bursts into tears and runs crying the moment a normal person disagrees with them*

[ozemalet]

The whole premise of a flat Earth is blown away by the fact you can't see Polaris from the southern hemisphere. If the Earth was flat, you should be able to see any (and all) of the constellations from anywhere on the Earth.

I am a civil engineer and I took a surveying class in school. We had to do the calculations to account for the curvature.

Your jab about people not being able to convert meters and kilometers was understated brilliance.

[Realturboterrapin]

I enjoyed all the math and proof in the video, but my favorite thing has to be the way your dog keeps telling you to keep scratching.

Flat earthers need to come up with *one single Flat Earth model* to show how every characteristic and claim they make about how the earth behaves within its surroundings is true.
If they need *more than one model, * their claims are *not correct.*
