If Twitter falls, that's half the Internet war won. Lol

IDC who owns it, as long as the 'woke' nonsense & rampant censorship gets 86'd!

Of course, but the money and influence Elon has along with his political views can only be a good thing. It could be the start of a new fresh direction, instead of the same neo-liberal, woke, globalist regime we all know and loathe.

elon is a fraud, unfortunately. i like so much of what he says, but

the earth is flat, batteries are not the future promised, paypal was developed by other people, tesla was stolen from its founder, nasa saved space x

what is elon? protected by the media because none of the paypal/tesla is common knowledge

the earth being flat means he must know being space x

oil is biomass from plants/animals dying.

dinosaurs are big lizards that had the time and space to get that big

people buy the first thing they are sold and become retarded

ROFL. I don't need to read any more.

It’s odd how this captures people.

it isn't odd. once you do the work, you find the truth.

I don’t see any work. I see you ranting.

I have read, and am more entrenched within the conspiracy more than you could ever dream.

There is nothing to support flat earth.

[–]iDontShift 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

you read a bunch of bullshit. if you don't come to the flat earth table with a burning desire for truth, and a question that can't be answered.

mine was the path of the eclipse was fucked. it scribes an S on the ball earth. it scripes a circle on the flat.

flat earth information is frequently removed, such as https://earth.nullschool.net/ removed the flat earth model. no reason given. the author just took it away, and broke his github. i downloaded the code. i can prove he broke it.

why would he do that? no reason ever given. why would you need to do that?

go here https://ifers.123.st/ ..

many truths can be found there

nasa founder has written on his own grave.. a bible verse. .. that is a quote about the firmament.

Hey man. I’m sorry you think the earth is flat. But you should move on to other conspiracies.

There is a lot more out there for you to dip your toes into.

I think there is a lot of study on human psychology behind it. Someone has put a lot of effort and money into understanding what kind of manipulation works. I think the manufactured conspiracies like flat earth are part of a much bigger strategy for controlling everyone.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

I think it’s figuring out who to kill and not kill. If you can’t figure out flat earth is not real, you meet the requirements to stay alive.

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

That can't be it because flat earth targets people who reject the appeal to authority fallacy that captures all the sheep. The mentally deficient slave class will be sheep.

Flat earth and Q are a sort of controlled opposition. Disinformation and confusion for those who reject the programming.

Which in itself is an obvious play on the part of the oligarchy, but what I think is particularly noteworthy is how sofisticated that propaganda is. It truly is the cutting edge of pseudo intellectual logic.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Yea but it’s not. The flat earthers have performed several experiments that have proven in equivocally the earth is indeed flat.

Flat earthers don't believe in believing in the experiments of others. There are many more experiments that prove the earth is round. But I have humored those claims before and found the "experiments" of flat earthers to not prove what they claim and to be anything but riggorous. Many simply displayed the absolute ignorance of science and logic of the experimenters. So much that I am lead to believe that many flat earthers are propagandists who are intentionally making fools of themselves as a way to discredit (by association) everyone who rejects mainstream media authority over science.

People can circumnavigate the globe using round earth maps. You can't do that with a flat earth map. The very concept of a flat earth creates many absurdities that are then "explained" with even more absurdities.

It gets to the point that they claim the moon produces negative light.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

I HAVE to agree. The flat earth movement is so ridiculous, you have to come up with out of this world ideas to try to explain it away.

It really disgusts me, because it ruins the credibility of people who stay in this world with their conspiracies.

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Lol, I'm sure that made more sense in your head. No one ever needed to explain away anything. Science is built on explaining observations. The heliocentric model does that.

[–]iDontShift 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

gyroscopes, vanishing perspective, then there is you.. ignorant of the implications

When you look at a tall building on the horizon the bottom can not be seen long before the building "shrinks" away.

[–]iDontShift 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

incorrect. says the person with a telescopic lens.

silly people think boats go over the horizon. photographic proof shows otherwise.

fools remain in the belief ships go over the horizon 'seven miles away' ... where we can't see it

[–]Canbot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

If you live by a large city you always see the tops of the buildings first when approaching them. If you live by the mountains you always see the tops of the mountains first. This can be verified by anyone. Anyone denying this is clearly a liar.

[–]iDontShift 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

optical illusions are a everyday occurrence. the fact you don't know it and call me a liar.. um, ha?

people can see Kilimanjaro from over 100 miles away.. all the way down to the base. a 'physical impossibility'.. on ball earth .. but a normal occurrence on flat earth

what you claim to see you believe to be but it can be disproven with a telephoto lens. ships do not go over the horizon.

the horizon is the just that.. the point at which your ability to see further ends. it is a literal thing, a perspective.. IT IS USED IT GAMES because it is the reality as we know it.

there are pictures of chicago skyline.. all the way down to the shoreline.. from michigan.. they literally claimed it was an optical illusion

so now both the seeing of the shoreline, and not seeing the buildings, yet i know with a telephoto lens you can . .

and the moon.. have you ever looked at the moon with a telephoto lens? because it sure as shit ain't 250,000 miles away. no fucking way we are seeing craters.. and just everything .. and it is that far away... talk about people being retarded. lol

no the more you know, the more hilarious it is that anyone ever bought it

dinosaurs are big lizards that had the time and space to get that big

Lmao how is this even a conspiracy? "Yeah okay there was life millions of years ago and yeah it looked like the bones we found but they aren't different species or anything they're just normal lizards that got real big and when the get big their bones look significantly different"

[–]iDontShift 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

i dunno, maybe because they keep discovering 'new' oil deposits.

and the dinosaur theory is just fucking stupid, again a cult group that closely guards its story

kinda like egyptologists. pyramids are poured granite. end of story. but egyptologists still cling to their bullshit in many cases

i dunno, maybe because they keep discovering 'new' oil deposits.

Believe it or not it is actually not trivial to find oil deposits even with modern technology, and once they are found it is also not trivial to access them. We can only guess at how many there actually are in a given area and how much each one holds based on geological, seismic, and gravimetric surveys.

and the dinosaur theory is just fucking stupid, again a cult group that closely guards its story

Why, in your opinion, are big versions of the lizards we have today a more likely explanation than big lizards that are unlike the ones we have today?

pyramids are poured granite. end of story.

That’s most certainly not the end of the story; why do you think the pyramids are poured granite? Did you know the pyramids are fairly close to an ancient quarry with pretty extensive evidence of their stone working processes? Not just tools, but various partially shaped/finished stones.

[–]iDontShift 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

deposits continue to be found, but the formation was said to be isolated. funny it is EVERYWHERE

Why, in your opinion, are big versions of the lizards we have today a more likely explanation than big lizards that are unlike the ones we have today?

why do i need a ridiculous explanation when a logical one appears before me? catfish can get to be hundreds of pounds. LIZARDS GROW UNTIL THEY DIE .. we killed them. it is simple. we don't give them the space or time to grow as big

That’s most certainly not the end of the story; why do you think the pyramids are poured granite? Did you know the pyramids are fairly close to an ancient quarry with pretty extensive evidence of their stone working processes? Not just tools, but various partially shaped/finished stones.

because it was proven by a scientist that is what it is. and the pyramids have evidence of being form poured.. they have 'lips' of granite material at the bottoms of the pyramid blocks. egyptologists can't explain such a weird formation. anyone that has poured concrete see it as obvious.

research it yourself . a made spent five years proving himself to the egyptologists, in the process discovering who likely invented it, and proving that over time the lack of materials led to shitty pyramids (there are many more than the 3) .. and eventually very little 'poured granite' as they ran out of the materials needed to mix with the slurry of nile mud . we have a method, we have a means.. all of which is more than most people believe we have .. some bullshit theory about thousands of slaves moving cut rocks from a quarry unknown .. using tools.. unknown..

pile of shit and you have trouble letting it go .. lol

Sounds like you’re the one with strong opinions that you’d never consider letting go, lol. Here’s a really interesting documentary which covers some of these topics extensively: https://youtu.be/j9w-i5oZqaQ. Regardless of whether you believe it or not I think you’ll find it interesting at least.

Doesn’t cover dinosaurs, but I would just mention that lizards are not immortal and definitely do not keep growing forever. Also given that dinosaur bones do not match any extant reptile, do you at least entertain the notion that the supposed ancient lizards that made them were different species than what currently exists? Are you just claiming that not all dinosaurs were as large as the fossils we’ve found?

spent 35 years thinking it was a ball.

when i went to find proof i discovered there was none

what proof can you give me that I can do right now to prove the ball earth?

no videos . no mainstream . no big gov . no big corp .

my proofs : gyroscope . airplanes fly in straight lines .

train tracks are level coast to coast in america .. aside for "grade up" and "grade down" for the hills/valleys ..

suez canal level for 100+ miles .. connecting to oceans .. wikipedia won't even attempt a page on the curvation of the earth.

go find the agreed upon formula for the curvation of the earth (that should be easy right? )

no, i don't need to watch more to find a way to 'bend the train tracks' that are clearly straight

[–]package 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

what proof can you give me that I can do right now to prove the ball earth?

Go to a dock at a beach with a pair of binoculars. A telescope even. Any time of day will do. Calm seas for best results. Watch a boat move away from you. The farther it is from you, the less of it will be visible, starting from the bottom. It will appear to be descending towards the horizon. Eventually it will no longer be visible. This is due to the curvature of the earth, and it's one of the ways even ancient civilizations were able to determine that the earth was round. If you don't have a beach near you, all you need is flat ground, a piece of cardboard, and a laser pointer. Mount the laser so it is pointing at the center of the cardboard. Move the cardboard away. The farther you move, the higher the laser dot will hit on the cardboard. Try this in different directions and/or locations for additional evidence.

airplanes fly in straight lines

Go get a ball. Draw a dot on the ball. Hold the ball so that the dot appears centered relative to your vision. Without rotating the ball, draw another dot anywhere else on the ball. You will see that it is perfectly possible to draw a straight between the points, relative to the surface of the ball.

suez canal level for 100+ miles .. connecting to oceans

Dude. Lmao. The earth's SURFACE is curved. We live on its surface, with gravity pulling us toward the center of the curve. It pulls everything, not just us. Land, water, air, everything is pulled to the center. This means that altitude itself is relative to the center of that curve. Having a canal connect two oceans on a curved earth does not mean that one ocean is higher or lower. Relative to the center of the earth, they are at the same altitude.

I know you're likely schizophrenic but if not I would really, really recommend that you just all of your opinions aside for a minute and just read about gravity. Wikipedia would be easiest but you can pick any source that doesn't presume a flat earth. Pretend what you're reading is describing a fictional reality if you need to, but just read it in full and then ask yourself if it seems plausible that such a force would explain a curved earth. Your answer might surprise you.

incorrect. powerful telephoto lenses prove you wrong.

when a balloon was sent up and didn't find the curve then they claimed it could only be seen from "7 miles up"

so they sent a balloon up 7 miles .. still no go..

and for all the fools claiming they see it from a plane.. which is only 3.5 -5 miles up. silly folks will trick themselves into believing anything

Go get a ball. Draw a dot on the ball. Hold the ball so that the dot appears centered relative to your vision. Without rotating the ball, draw another dot anywhere else on the ball. You will see that it is perfectly possible to draw a straight between the points, relative to the surface of the ball.

omg.. what? the point is if we truly lived in a ball.. the airplanes and submarines would be REQUIRED to point their noses down as they move forward or GAIN ALTITUDE which clearly doesn't happen. the gyroscope that is used to level a plane, an altimeter, shows the plane as level.

The earth's SURFACE is curved

you just keep saying that, like if you do it will make it true?

We live on its surface, with gravity pulling us toward the center of the curve.

ya, well try and prove gravity next. totally unprovable bullshit. the 'forces' are supposedly so small you can't infer them unless at a 'planetary scale' ..

yet their dipshit theory only actually works for 2 planet systems. add in a third planet.. oops now model broke. THE WHOLE FUCKING MODEL IS BROKE

the majority just don't know it.

Land, water, air, everything is pulled to the center.

and yet a force i can easily calculate, that of spinning on let us say, a merry-go-round .. shows us a force that far out powers the bullshit gravity theory .. spin a ball full of water.. that is the reality if ball earth reality was real

I know you're likely schizophrenic

i see you are retarded

your opinions aside for a minute and just read about gravity

hilarious thing is these are NOT OPINIONS but the rock bottom reality of the bullshit you believe

just read it in full and then ask yourself if it seems plausible that such a force would explain a curved earth.

second most hilarious thing is you actually think you know what you are talking about, as if there is some evidence I have not seen for myself already that would somehow surprise me and 'force me to.. see your way'

my take is people like you never actually question reality . or are simply paid idiots . but i've seen both .. and i've also seen how people inherently realize the 'penalty' for going off on your own.

weaklings.

pathetic.

Dude. You asked for proof that you “can do right now”. Don’t take my word for it. Literally go do either of the things I mentioned. Neither are difficult. The truth is well within your grasp. Go see it for yourself. And if you’re not afraid of some math you can experimentally measure acceleration from gravity using any heavy object and a stopwatch. With that you can easily verify or disprove not only the force of gravity itself but the size and mass of the earth right from the comfort of your desk. Again, the proof you seek is right in front of you if only you’d open your eyes and look.

The main value in twitter is really the brand and number of users, I don't think they can sabotage that.
