I've been on bungo for some time, so some of you might know me. I am a Flat Earth Theorist (or Planar Theorist). Basically, I am someone that knows (belief is not a word I use regarding sensory knowledge) that the Earth is Flat. Some very simple and very fundamental observations confirm this: looking at the horizon (it is Flat), jumping (the ground does not move beneath you), and existence of life itself (all solid objects not directly attached to earth's surface would get flung off if it were spinning at 1000mph). These are some of the basic empirically observable phenomenon that motivate my knowledge of natural reality. There are many more. I'm hoping this community proves to be a dank place where I can have both serious discussion, and shitpost from time to time... Anyway, its good to be here. Feel free to introduce yourself, I'd like to meet other users.

When I went on a cruise, I was sitting out on the bench one morning and taking a look at the ocean when the sun was rising, what I saw was actually quite interesting. I actually saw the curvature of the Earth in the distance in proportion to the completely straight bar in front of my patio in front of the bench. How would you explain that curvature?

Same as I would explain the "curvature" in these lines...

I was about to tell you this isn't bungie and we're not a bunch of idiots that you can troll with this nonsense, but then Ian posted.

I've never been a troll. These are issues I consider compelling and important to debate. But I realize it is not everyone's cup of tea.

I hear there's a growing number of you folks all around the globe.

Nearly had me there but you're too invested in it. Someone who actually believed it wouldn't need to bring it up as such a major issue.

Don't you have a mosque to pray at?

Jk Chally, you cool af.

Religion has nothing to do with my knowledge of FET.

Many are more modest in their presentation and discussion. But I am something of a firebrand though. I want to eradicate ignorance both in myself and in others. And who knows? I am open to the possibility my observations got it wrong, and that the earth is somehow actually round. Debating others keeps me exposed to that possibility. This is why I debate so avidly.

It's alright dude. I get it, you want to stand out and be a topic of discussion. You're pushing it too much though. Good attempt but no go.

You are entitled to your opinion m8. Many people react to me this way, because my ideas are so different. But I cant "tone" myself down to seem genuine when I already am.

If I was arsed enough to really care I'd debate.

What made ya interested in stopping by here?

Troll or no I've thought of a question.

Flat Earthers believe Earth flat right? Does that belief extend to the other bodies in our solar system, like the more obvious to see moon?

All other planetary bodies we have observed (so far) are spherical. However, it is important to remember that the sun, moon, planets, and stars are all smaller and much closer to the surface of the earth and orbit above its surface. But just because all observed planets are spherical, does not mean that earth is necessarily spherical as well.

So exactly how thick do you propose earth is?

Do you also happen to subscribe to the very correct belief of time cube?

Forgive my ignorance, but what is time cube?

Time isn't exactly linear. It's more like a transparent cube with light shining through it.
