have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you'll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.
Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.
Pedantic much? Have you coasters ever seen a landboat? Everyone here has seen a sail disappear at the horizon of the great plains.
No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.
No silly waves are on land. Have you ever heard of earth's largest wave? Wave Everest. A lot of people climb it every year. Sometimes they call them land waves to distinguish them further from water mountains.
When a ship gets far away and you only see the top half, it's behind a flat Earth water mountain.
These people are so dumb, they aren’t “water mountains”, they are Lands with the subtypes Island and Mountain, meaning they can tap for blue or red mana.
I actually had a guy come into a store I used to work in, he came around closing.. guy would not leave until I heard his salespitch about the flat earth...
A week later I learned he called corporate who demanded I be fired over refusing to hear him out. Manager told me he had no choice, fire me or get fired and have the replacement fire me.
It worked out though, Travis eventually left and the new manager couldn't get anyone to stay... when he found my old file and how long I stayed he offered my job back.
I had found something closer, easier, and higher paying so I just laughed the offer off. I love my new gig
I knew someone who like to use flat Earthism to illustrate that there's little point in debating someone who has no interest in being persuaded. He'd basically state the Earth is flat and use every rhetorical trick in the book to defend his position, exhaust his opponent, and then say, "Could you imagine how frustrated you'd be if I actually believed any of that?" He eventually got his DDS of all things, but I thought he'd make a good lawyer.
You can debate someone into changing their mind but it's more like water eroding a stone than any cathartic moment you'd hope for. It's still worthwhile especially when you consider an audience that's not inhibited by being 'under attack'
They’re trolling though. I reckon the vast majority of flat earthers are.
What makes you think so?
When you get deeper, 90% of the time it's just one of a dozen "facts" they've adopted to service the core belief that jews are responsible for [effects of capitalism]
Well I got good news for you. This isn't a planet. It's a giant rug thats's floating in space propelled by genie's dark matter astro-projection that moves us at 9.8 meters/sec² and our world was created by an entity named God who's 3 wishes to the genie was 1. to create this magnificient space rug to house 2. the people that will be
spawnedcreated on this wonderful place and will 3. forever worship God and his Magnificient Space Rug and that non-believers will have to suffer their entire life believing in the Round-Earth Conspiracy.Thank God™ for helping us realize the truth. 🤓
the existence of water mountains implies the existence of forest, fire, shadow and spirit mountains
Actually they are mountain, island, forest, plains, and swamp
I believe forest mountains are just called mountains due to historical reasons.
Flat Earth? Fucking idiots. The Earth is obviously a Giant Magical Space Rug propelled by Genie's Dark Matter Astro-Projection
movingteleporting at 9.8 m/s² 🤓What the hell are you talking about? We live in the Disc, held up by the Four Elephants which stand on the back of the Great Atuin, a 10,000 mile long turtle. The turtle moves.
This has been disproved. We live on a globe in an experimental non-magical universe kept at a university run by wizards who live on a disc held up by four elephants on the book of the Great Atuin.
Damn my English is so bad, I thought they are talking about swim accessories.
I know it's really hard to tell, especially with flat earthers, but I think this post by "gerwin" screenshat here (with extra jpeg) was satire.
There are a lot of silly explanations that flat earthers have for things, but this doesn't appear to be one of them.
(Googling for "water mountain" just gives this screenshot and people making fun of this screenshot.)
I'm stealing that word now "scteenshat" works well in this context
every day I feel ashamed about the fact that I have to live on the same planet (sorry, I mean pancake) with these people
Bro, shut up, you're making us look like a bunch of round earthers.
What are tides, but the water mountain reaching land. The ships disappear after passing tomorrow's tide.
That's why the Nazis went to the moon? So they could control the water mountains!
I've managed to meet two flat earthers in real life. Extremely surreal experience.
