Hey folks, are you talking about this in your country? Here in Brazil are ... about the theory of our planet be flat what do you think about it??

why are the sun and moon round? that shit is retarded. If you look directly at the sun and moon you can clearly see that they are a flat discs. Checkmate flat earth retard!

Of course, good thing you hue monkeys don't amount to much in the scientific world

Explain to me how the arctic circle, and antarctic circle can experience 24+ hours of daylight during certain times of the year while all the latitudes in between the two experience full day/night cycles during the same time periods on a flat Earth. Only rule is that your explanation has to be experimentally verifiable. If you can do that i will transfer $1000 USD to a paypal account of your choosing. Im not kidding.

That's why Brazil doesn't have a space program. Only the countries where we believe the Earth is spherical is space travel possible.

North pole DOES receive 3 days of sunlight. Its called the midnight sun

>During Arctic summer, from the 22nd to the 25th of June, at a high enough latitude and altitude, you can watch a phenomenon known as “the Midnight Sun” where the Sun stays continuously visible in the sky for 3 days straight! The “Midnight Sun” rises on the 22nd and for the next 72 hours never disappears from sight, slowly ascending and descending every 12 hours, showing 3 brilliant “sunsets” and “sunrises” without ever actually setting below the horizon. If the Earth were actually a spinning globe revolving around the Sun, the only place such a phenomenon as the Midnight Sun could be observed would be at the poles. Any other vantage point from 89 degrees latitude downwards could never, regardless of any tilt or inclination, see the Sun for 24 hours straight. To see the Sun for an entire revolution on a spinning globe at a point other than the poles, you would have to be looking through miles and miles of land and sea for part of the revolution! Anyone below the 89th parallel could never witness the Sun for 72 hours, 3 whole revolutions, straight because to do so would be to assume you are somehow seeing “through the globe” and to the Sun on the other side! Since such an assumption is ridiculous, and yet the Midnight Sun can clearly be seen as low as the 65 parallel, this is another absolute proof that Earth is the flat, stationary center of the universe.

Its due to the rotation of the sun above us.

there is an infinite amount of light objects and they turn on and off for each point on earth, simulating the sun

That would be the case if the Earths rotational axis was perpendicular to the ecliptic plane but it isn't. There is a 23.4° tilt.

How can someone in Antarctica get 24h of sunlight if he's standing near the edge of the disk? The flat earth theory makes no sense, it's just copy pasta after copy pasta.

The idea I've seen presented is that the "spotlight" sun doesn't magically float above the Earth in a strict circle, but drifts back and forth between the tropics over the course of a year. So when the sun is over the "inner tropic" the north pole gets extended daylight hours, and when the sun is over the "outer tropic" the south pole gets extended daylight hours.

Basically they mapped the path the center of the sun takes over the surface of the earth, but it's like a thousand km above the surface in the "model" and for some reason has a lamp shade on. Just like how you can map the landmasses from a globe onto a azimuthal equidistant projection map centred on the North Pole, you can map the relative motion of the Sun, moon, planets, and stars onto the projection.
