    Uh, is this supposed to be a humorous jab at flat earthers, or do you actually think that this doesn’t add up and out yourself as a flat eather and in this case do you wish an explanation?

        I have very sensitive antennae when it comes to flat earth bullshit and also started to develop an allergy to non-science. So I beg your pardon that I asked…

          Well you aren’t the only one, so maybe I should have laid the sarcasm on more clearly. I thought most people would read the title as tongue-in-cheek.

            Honestly the internet has made me paranoid about who is and isn’t serious and who may or may not be a stupid twat

                I think there’s a lot of friendly and socially conscious people on here but I’m so bad at detecting tone though text, and I feel like I’ve been seeing more open vileness from bigoted and conspiratorial types recently even on a lot of the the better parts of Lemmy

            Sorry captain, but I’ve heard a lot of Flat Earthers that use that exact phrase and act like its a gotcha that the Earth supposedly moves with 1675 km/h (it doesn’t, it rotates at a 15 degrees per hour drift Thanks bob) can’t be felt.

              Wow, I’m surprised they even try to explain it mathematically at all. Like, if you’re going to believe something crazy, numbers clearly aren’t going to make or break your conviction.

                Oh yeah, they use loony toons maths to explain certain aspect of reality while a globe earth would explain it all at the same time.

        Any intelligent joke requires a disclaimer because of flat earthers, Qanoners and conservatives.
