Well first I thought I'd show him that it was Earth by having him carefully look out the window at the boats sailing on the water. I told him you could see that as they moved, they made noise so it would be impossible to hear while not on Earth. He said that this was probably just an illusion. Then I told him the flats in his complex surely had to be on Earth and he agreed they really looked like they did, but that was another illusion because he's not close to his neighbors so he can't be sure inside was Earth even though the outside it. Finally I told him about Earth's magnetic field and how his flat would get too much of the sun's radiation if not Earth. But he said anything above the roof was Earth so that's how he's protected.

>> No.8862734

>>8862719
Effectively yes. He also has some pretty detailed explanations that only make me feel even more sorry for him. Like in order to explain the effect of gravity in his apartment, he invoked Einstein's equivalence principle to reason that wherever he is, his flat is accelerating upward at about 9.8m/s^2. Towards what, he doesn't know.

So during highschool I went on a Duke of Ed camp with the small group of 8 or so others that still did it. So after the day of sailing we all walked into the town near by to get some icecream more of less for a thing to do. It was about 8:30 i think, point is it was dark and the moon was out. It was a half moon, with clear skies so it was decently bright. So as we were walking we got on to the topic of the moon as it was very visible, and as it was a half moon, moon cycles. Being year 9 and no one being an expert on celestial bodies it was a pretty half-hearted "yea i guess that's it" kinda discussion, until this one girl spoke up. And holy fuck was it stupid. Quoting from what i remember "If half the moon is there (pointing to the moon), then is that the other half?" as she points to the glow of flood lights from what i assumed was a port or cargo yard. Till this day i have never heard anything more stupid, even on here.

No it's called climate change because the term global warming was confusing people. The entire Earth is getting warmer but that causes more mixing in the atmosphere so in some places it actually gets colder (the short term).
