United posts its flight routes: U.S. and International Route Maps | United Airlines
The Newark to Tokyo flight that I was describing earlier does just what I said, they fly north into Canada, because it's a shorter route when fly around a spherical object
Now this route also makes sense on your flat earth map, but that's just cuz your flat earth map is looking down on the north pole, so it does a reasonable job depicting the northern hemisphere. Where that map falls completely apart is with the southern hemisphere. It makes those countries seem much further apart than they actually are. I tried to illustrate that to you by comparing flight times of a NYC-Rome flight to a Sao Paolo-Johannesburg flight. An even more egregious example would be Tokyo-Newark vs Sydney,Austraila-Santiago,Chile. Look how much further Sydney is from Chile on your flat Earth map than Tokyo is from Newark. It makes no damn sense for those two flight to be so close in terms of flight times (12h50m vs 12h20m) if the flat earth pic was true. However, if you look at the globe, the distsances between the two sets of cites are actually comparable.
But of course you want flight routes. Problem is, of course, the airlines that fly the southern hemisphere are generally not as sophisticated as the likes of United which openly show their routes (and you can check the flight status on United's website, and it will show you where that flight in the flight path at that moment). However if you look at United's LAX-Sydney route....
...or Emirates' Dubai-Auckland New Zealand route....
..neither of those flight routes make sense on your flat earth route. The LAX-Sydney route is harder to see because of the resolution of your pic, but the flat earth route would have you flying over Papua New Guinea to get to Sydney. United doesn't do that because that would be going out of the way. The Dubai-New Zealand route is much easier to see. On your flat earth map the direct routes would have you flying over Russia, China, and Japan to get from Dubai to New Zealand. On a globe, that would be going wayyyy out of the way, which is why Emirates doesn't do that and instead flies over India and Australia. A direct route on the globe, but wayyy out of the way on your flat earth map.
But Mars has seasons just like Earth... only twice as long. They don't have another sun hoverboarding over it like dude says the sun does to earth...
I know what gravity is. Doesn't mean I believe it. You're basically just saying shyt that you can't prove but have heard so you believe it. You can't prove shyt you're trying to convince me of. Gravity could be some bullshyt they made up to explain how all this water isn't falling off this so called spinning ball.

Winning a big lottery jackpot is my dream.
YouTube conspiracy videos, allegedly 1000 year old maps, gravity deniers, birds flying deniers, flat earthers, pear earthers, football earthers, snow globe earthers, crazy comments, funny comments and etherous comments this thread has everything.

Some of you wasted some major time talking about this. Kyrie is a fool and must be trolling.
We all know the earth is not flat.

no those flight routes don't make sense on the globe map
of course this route wouldn't work on flat earth map, that's not the argument
the argument they don't take routes that would make sense if the Earth was round
It flies out the way, instead of going a straight rout directly to a japan over the ocean lmao
if you can fly over the ocean from austraila to america, why not to japan
once again watch the video I posted
he use the actually flight tracking software in real time, and explains this
I'm not typing it word for word
you literally have flat eathers with hundreds of videos disproving your argument using gps, the actually distances etc
Nothing you say cannot be countered, that's the point I'm making

you been to Mars?
if you drop a gi joe on that same round object it will also fall off... fall towards the gravitational pull of earth... the same force that is keeping water and your feet from falling off this round planet...

my dude. what in the flying fukk are you talking about? what part of those routes dont make sense? they are literally the most efficient way to get between those points. it goes "out of the way" because thats a shorter route, IE THE fukkING SPHERE IS SMALLER FLYING AROUND IT THE MORE NORTH YOU GO

Stupid people are stupid for a reason and you nailed it.
Whether its Trump supporters or religious fanatics or this flat earth bullshyt, it isnt just ignorance, but rather willful ignorance, even malignant ignorance. At its core its based on an incredible sense of arrogance and a feeling that the individual themself is somehow special or unique and magically knows better than all the countless people and years of research and lives dedicated to the development of actual knowledge. The arrogance of these anti-intellectuals is often based on a deeper sense of insecurity and ego i.e. "I dont care that every scientific experiment, observation, principle and peer-reviewed study all corroborate the fact that the Earth is round. I havent ever personally been in space to see it myself, nor will I ever do so, so I dont trust the experts because I subconciously believe Im still somehow better than them." When you push back or point out the lack of logic or simply present easily observable facts that disprove their objections, the ego again takes over and rather than reconsider their stance, they dig in deeper and become defensive and basically become a lost cause. At that point they'd rather die on their sword than admit they were wrong all along.
This mentality is sadly growing in this country and the world, and its a disease to progress.
