What is your familiarity with http://theflatearthsociety.org ?

I've read some of their scientific explanations on why the earth is flat and it's cringingly bad.

I wasn't claiming it to be a scientific breakthrough, it's just I was unaware of this group up untill recently and I wanted to know if /sci/ was familiar with them since I don't lurk alot.

yes these people exist

just like the people who believe the earth is hollow
and people who believe the jews control everything and are actually lizard people or something

some people will believe everything

>> No.5143797

If your perspective is a large number of individual points, the earth is "flat". It all depends on perspective.

Let's be fair... Jews do control everything.

>oh look how fucking stupid and ignorant these morons are! lets all laugh at them together, /sci/! :D

and yeh, you;reright, they're dumb, but its not suprise to us, and ignorant fuckers over the internet are a diamond dozen

seriously, fucking everywhere.

and yes these morons are easy to disprove, but its a pretty hollow and shitty victory, as its so easy

From their FAQ:

>Q: "Why do you believe the Earth is flat?"

>A: It looks that way up close. In our local reference frame, it appears to take a flat shape, ignoring obvious hills and valleys. In addition, Samuel Rowbotham et al. performed a variety of experiments over a period of several years that show it must be flat. They are all explained in his book, which is linked at the top of this article.

seems legit.

isn't it 'a dime a dozen'? Or have I been wrong my entire life.

No, you're right. It's 'dime a dozen'. Diamond dozen doesn't make any goddamn sense.

Depending on the size of the diamond, that would make each individual worth quite a bit of money.

"Allow me to play double advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like its a peach of cake."

Trolled? No just actually curious. The phrase isn't so common in non-USA countries. Nice speech though, made me think of a 2 Ronnies sketch...

ive literally never ever said it in real time speech
yeh, its fairly rare, but i quite like that speech too
'intensive purposes' is a good one for trolling
=p

got this beauty:

"Can we clear this up.

RIGHT NOW.

"intensive purposes" is NOT what you are trying to say.

What you are trying to say is "for all intents and purposes".

You sound as ridiculous as the person trying to say "queue" and pronouncing it "quay".

Think about it. Intensive purposes? Does that even make sense? Can you reason through that and explain what you're ACTUALLY trying to say, or are you just throwing down some clever words? Intensive purposes? That's nonsensical. INTENTS and purposes. There. That makes more sense, doesn't it? Try using that next time. You are now smarter. You're welcome."
