Flat Earth Uprising?

At what point does it become acceptable by forum law to call someone a moron?

Quite easily. The moon gets lit up by sunlight bouncing off of it. Earth comes between the moon and sun during the day.

3. If the Earth was really rotating about its axis, then we would actually feel the Earth rotate. The round-supporters say, "Well, since you're moving with the Earth, you don't really feel it rotating. It's kinda like you're in a car. You're moving along with the car, so you don't really feel the car moving." But I'm not buying it... Obviously, when I'm in a car, I can still feel the car moving. So if the Earth was really rotating about its axis, human beings would feel the rotation.

Who says you aren't feeling the earth move right now. You just don't realize it cause you've felt it your whole life so you're use to it.

That is such a hollow argument.

This is how to understand the difference between the two:

A "Lunar eclipse" is when the "Flat/Hollow Earth" comes between the "ball of cheese" and the "giant spotlight" in the sky. The "Flat/Hollow Earth" casts its shadow on the "giant ball of cheese."
A "Solar eclipse" is when the "ball of cheese" passes between the "Flat/Hollow Earth" and the "giant spotlight" in the sky.

If the Earth wasn't hollow then why in movie "Jurassic Park" did the water vibrate in the cup that was in the cup holder in the car when the dinosaur was approaching? If anything that scene proves the Hollow Earth theory, cause the dinosaur is making the ground vibrate like the Earth was either a giant trampoline or a giant balloon.

VSauce explains why you don't fall off a flat Earth.

On contrary, in support of Round Earth argument (or position):

"Well, if the Earth was flat, then someone would have fallen into outer space by now. (At least one person would have fallen). It's funny how we don't hear any news stories about people falling into outer space..."

You may actually be the dumbest person on the planet.

Gravity son. Come on now.

You would not feel motion in the horizontal direction if you were traveling at constant velocity in a car. Most cars are always speeding up and slowing down and the vertical forces from shocks and road aberations are felt too. Also, any time you turn in a car, you are changing your velocity vector which is is acceleration (you push against the opposite direction of the turn because of inertia - your body wants to keep going straight but the seat and car interior are pushing you around the turn.)

This is how accelerometers in the brain work too - they are physical sensory organs in our brain, tubes filled with fluid that can account for both angular and linear acceleration because of their geometry and the way hair cells and membranes interpret motion of the fluids (which is translated into a neural signal that you can percieve). When you are traveling at a constant velocity, the fluid is static and the hair cells are firing tonically. This is the case whether you are traveling at 10kph or 5000kph.

However, accelerating to 5000kph too quickly would crush you. Well, technically, accelerating too quickly to 10kph could crush you just as easily as the impulse imparted has to do with the change in velocity divided by time over which that velocity changed. Which is a huge number as that time period approaches zero even for a small velocity change.

Which is what happens when you hit the ground from a big fall. Your velocity goes very quckly to zero in a small time.

Yeah, I believe you because you have a lot of evidence to prove your statement... Also, I'm pretty sure that you have read the forum rules... And drinking lots of alcohol is good for your brain.

Now, to post a serious message, if you think that lunar eclipses cannot be seen at daytime, I invite you to watch this video:

Nah you should explain it in your own words to show that you really understand it.

I agree that NASA is mostly a hoax, but that does not mean that the
Earth being flat is the motivation for said hoax.
