I don't buy into flat earth because:
The time it takes to fly from London to New York to Tokyo to London is significantly shorter than the time it takes to fly Dubai to Miami to Hong Kong to Dubai, and that time is longer than the time it takes to fly Sydney to Sao Paolo to Johannesburg to Sydney.
This only makes sense if the earth is round and thicker near the equator. If the earth was flat with the north pole in the middle, the Sydney circumnavigation would be the longest, London the shortest. I can't think of any other explanation.

Nah, dude, that's just because of the wind. Plus they make the pilots carry extra chemtrail stuff on the Dubai-Miami-HK-Dubai route, so that obviously slows the down. D'uh, better luck next time.
Flight times support a spherical Earth, unrelated to Bitcoin's value.
Time zones and flight routes dictated by IATA and FAA, not proof of a globe. Follow the money, not airline schedules.
i mean
the same stars are also inverted at different places on earth
and the sun pretty clearly does down below the horizon like the rest of the stuff up there, it doesn't scream off into the distance and gradually get dimmer
but yeah
flight times.
I am a former broadcast engineer. If the Earth were flat, FM radio stations in Oahu could be heard clearly in Los Angeles 24/7. But they can't be heard there at all. The signals are blocked by the curvature of the Earth. Radio broadcast and communications engineering coverage calculations have to take that curvature into account in order to be accurate. The Earth is not flat.
I was driving the other day, minding my own business. The moon, beautiful on the sky. And I realized the hilarity in flat earth theory only being a thing because we, for good reason, have a hard time seeing the earth .... because we are on it.
But.
We are in fact able to observe other planets with a simple telescope and it hit me, that funny enough, all of them are round 😬😁
But noooooo the earth is special, the eaaaaarth muust be flat. 😬
Radio signals dissipate per inverse square law, and due to limited permeability & permittivity of free space.
Also, radio signals can and often do bend through free space.
Signal in Oahu can't be heard in LA because the signal-noise ratio is insufficient for the receiving equipment to be able to filter.
Seeing Saif comment on a flat earth topic, was not on my bingo card
This is an old one.
When you present the Southern hemisphere commercial fights to them they say these things:
1. the maps are wrong
2. the planes are faster
3. THE FLIGHTS ARE FAKE, THEY DON'T EXIST, literally
Thanks for jumping on the flat earth mine Saif.
You should spend more time here; way more interesting stuff going on here than Xitter despite your following differences.
Maybe check your DMs once in a while…
No do the rabbit hole ECDO theory, way more plausible.
A man of the commons! 🤙🏼
The only thing that surprises me is that you wasted your time just making this statement.
Ya that’s one reason I guess
but.. but..planes can fake speed
Flat earth is a psyop to discredit actual conspiracies
When at rest, water always finds it’s level. Always.
Earth is said to be 70% water.

flights near the edges (Sydney loop) are longer because planes slow down as they approach the abyss, pilots instinctively ease off the throttle. London-NY-Tokyo stays central, full speed ahead
your flight time data doesn't prove roundness, it proves 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐱𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭. the closer to the edge, the slower they fly
As someone that’s sailed around it I concur it’s round 🌏
Neti neti
Out of curiosity, I roughly mapped out the 3 routes on a Gleason's (FE) map.
The 1st route is clearly the fastest since you are crossing over the centre of the FE map (north pole). It seems to align with flight times.
The 3rd route is the longest on the FE map since you are touching all 3 southern tips of our known earth.
The second route miami (red) - Dubai - Hong Kong - Miami is the one that's interesting. According the FE map it should be the second longest but it looks to spend much more time in the air than the 3rd route. That route is fighting against a headwind but that's not enough to offset the distances flown according to a FE map.
I don’t buy into it cos it’s fucking stupid
Wait.. seriously?
