If the earth is round then why is my house not on an angle?

On human scales the earth is flat. It is an unbounded flat plane that extends in all directions, however this flat plane is not infinite and given enough time if you head in any direction you will eventually return to your point of origin. This is because the earth is curved through a "3rd" dimension of sorts. And if we allow ourselves to imagine what this 3rd dimension, might be like, it is best to think of a circle, which is essentially a kind of line, but one which curves in on itself as you go along it. Some theoretical one dimensional lifeform may not be aware of the curvature in the 2nd dimension, but can be assured of it's existence by traveling the length of the line.
Since humans are confined to a flat two dimensional existence by the oppressive Newtonian theory we cannot uplift ourselves to view the true nature of the earth in all three dimensions. But if we allow ourselves to dismantle the oppressive gravitational laws of the white man, then our burdens will be lifted and we can transcend the bounds of reality into the realm of unreality. And through the efforts of our greatest minds at the UN. We can Unnazify the world forever. And Unmake an Unfair Universe.

microwave towers communicate up to 300 km away from each other.
the are place at the same literal height, lets say 100ft from sea level.. and they are BOTH AT THAT
microwaves travel in a straight line
if the earth was round.. the waves would never reach their destination
the earth is flat
railroads are level .. coast to coast
oppressive gravitational laws of the white man
lol. nevermind. have a great day in your special form of insanity!

Yes the earth is a level plane which extends unbounded in all directions, however if you travel in one direction far enough you eventually end up back at your point of origin.
This is because the earth curves through an extra dimension which is imperceptible to two dimensional life forms like humans. It's possible that birds or dragons are aware of it since it appears they have some limited ability to travel though this third dimension.
Microwaves are designed to cook food, you can't send messages with them. You'll just end up with cancer.

nah, Antarctica actually surrounds us. there are accounts of it taking 2 years by ship .. to 'go around it'
extra dimension which is imperceptible
like i said, Antarctica's shape makes this explanation unnecessary.
and given i cannot prove what is beyond, i have no idea what is beyond
dragons are big lizards tho, and i don't think they are 'wise'

Before the advent of fiber-optic transmission, most long-distance telephone calls were carried via networks of microwave radio relay links run by carriers such as AT&T Long Lines. Starting in the early 1950s, frequency-division multiplexing was used to send up to 5,400 telephone channels on each microwave radio channel, with as many as ten radio channels combined into one antenna for the hop to the next site, up to 70 km away. source

Actually you get bigger the closer you get to the poles and smaller the closer you get to the equator. That's why Greenland looks so much bigger than Africa on the map. If you measure it locally it's not, but that's because you've gotten larger.
Once you reach 90° latitude you've got a problem though as you'll expand to infinite size, it's unknown exactly what would occur if someone were to do this, they'd likely collapse into a singularly, but since the distance between 89° and 90° latitude is also infinite it would take an infinite amount of time for someone to actually reach either pole so we are safe from the Mercator effect.

your ability to bullshit is not interesting to me

Science may seem like bullshit to the uneducated mind but the true thinkers among us know that you can't make bullshit without cows.

actually you'd need bulls.. if you wanted bull shit
that type of lack of attention to detail has lead modern science into a 70% un-reproducibility problem ..
science is bullshit when lead by big pharma, big gov, and other interests that .. literally have our worst interest in mind
it is scientific to take real world evidence and compare it to what we are told
it is unscientific to ignore the results that negate previous theories
tesla said ether exists, and thru it instantaneous transmission was possible
einstein said light was fastest thing, destroying tesla's ether
then quantum mechanics arrived. quantum entanglement proves faster than light transmission is possible.
hence einstein was wrong, the ether does exist
yet we still pretend, and use equations, and project.. using bullshit equations that we force to fit our preconceived ideas about how it should work (based upon theory) ..
that is not science.. science says you propose an idea then prove it .
not propose a theory then force reality into it
and that, we have done.. with much creative imagination.. that many love.
enjoy the fantasy. it all is

actually talking about making bullshit
one bull is all you need.
you are perfect example.
one fool, tons of foolish shit ;)

That was pretty good :)
Except as someone who goes sailing and understands the basics of celestial navigation, the world is very round. That's how that old-timey navigation works, by extending the meridians of the Earth out to the stars, and using them as landmarks, like being on the inside of a giant ball.
:P
