Check the flight time from Australia to South America and then the flight time from North America to Europe. Afterwards kill yourself.

A lobotomy would do.

1) No matter what time of day, all observers on Earth see the same face of the Moon
The only way this is possible is if the Moon is very far away

2) There exist "gyro-compasses" which use the Earth's rotation to point North (not magnetic north either, true north)

>>11111880
Here's more or less how they work

3) You can predict the tides knowing the position of the Moon.

When the Moon is high in the sky, or on the other side, there is a high tide. When the Moon is near the horizon, or just below the horizon, there is a low tide. But furthermore you can predict the strength of the tide by the phase of the Moon. During a New and Full Moon the tide is stronger, during a half Moon the tide is weaker. This is because the sun contributes about 1/2 the tidal force of the Moon, and when the Moon and Sun are in alignment the effects add to produce a stronger tide

The moon is flat too

4) If the Sun were strafing the Earth as in the flat Earth model, it would be moving much faster through the sky around midday, and slow down near sunrise/sunset

But this is not what we observe, we see the sun marching through the sky at a consistent angular velocity.

4) Stars in the southern hemisphere rotate the South Pole.

There is no way this can work in a flat earth model, the geometry is simply impossible. Furthermore, Australia should not be seeing the same stars as Argentina, and certainly not rotating around the same point in the sky

wow anon. just wow

you should meme this or start a youtube channel or make a show for netflix

>>11111889
No it isn't.

Why? You should die as stupid as you are now.

Shoot yourself in the head. That will change your mind in some way.
