Earth is Not Flat - How We Know

Members of the Flat Earth Society claim to believe the Earth is flat despite scientists explaining how we know the Earth is round since the third century B.C.

The fact that people have to keep making these videos is why Aliens haven't made first contact

Obviously nothing said in this video is incorrect, but it doesn't address what flat earthers actually believe: they have explanations for why we feel a force pulling us towards the ground, and how east-west circumnavigations à la Ferdinand & Mageallan are possible.
It's obvious that no one involved in making this video has much experience with flat earth thought. That's nothing to be ashamed of, but it does mean that this is an ineffective attempt at debunking.

The real mystery is why anyone is so invested in the idea of the Earth being flat that they avoid looking at any contrary evidence.

How to prove that earth is round again:

Actually, Aristotle offered four demonstrations that the earth was a sphere:
1. Ships sailing over the horizon disappear hull-first, so they're going over a curve
2. As you sail south from Greece to Egypt, you see new constellations in the southern sky
3. The earth is not THE center of the universe; it's AT the center of the universe, attracted there because earth is the heaviest element. And when mass tries to crowd around a central point as best it can, it will naturally form a sphere. Don't laugh, this is essentially the modern argument that gravity forms large bodies into spheres.
4. Lunar eclipses are caused by the earth's shadow. That shadow is always round. The only shape that always casts a round shadow is a sphere.

Don't mess with the Greeks. They were brighter than most moderns.

the fact we have to actually tell people the earth isn't flat is so disappointing

It is flat. Find out for yourselves. It’s easy.
Just ignore all what you have been thought and think.

if the Earth were flat, how come we can't see Mount Everest, the Himalayas, and so forth even on an airplane?

Even with a telescope on Mount Everest, why can't you see your house from there if the Earth were flat?

even karens can agree the earth isn't flat

We can’t send flights across Antarctica, but can send flights to outer reaches towards Pluto? It’s too cold for instruments to work in Antarctica, but let’s send instruments to space where we know it might NoT work. Brilliant humanity!

[SinHurr]

On behalf of all of humanity, I apologize for you having to actually make this video. The depths of human ingenuity are only eclipsed by our stupidity.

Whatever you do, Flat earthers can't be convinced, because their brain is flat.

[minikit]

Funny how we live on the fucker and some people don't know that it is round 😂😂
