So, I have to tell you this… My head is always full of stuff that, honestly, isn’t even important. 😂, But when something pops into my head? Oh, trust me, there’s no way I’m letting it go until I find the answer. I mean… come on, that’s the easiest thing now, especially with the internet! You just look, you read, and...you find the answer! Ok, maybe in the past it was harder...you had to go to a library, find the right book, sit there, read it… yeah, I know how that was. 😂
Anyway. Let me tell you...I’m a huge history freak. Love it. And I also loooove (yes, love) reading and watching videos about conspiracy theories. 😂Don’t ask me why, but sometimes I just need a good laugh, and oh boy, people really know how to deliver. 😂
But first things first. I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. I’m here to talk, to listen, to hear what you have to say. Everyone has their own beliefs and we should respect that. People find meaning in different things, and it’s not my job to convince you otherwise.
But… (you knew this was coming, right? 😂)
I’m still gonna try to show you some proof. If you still don’t want to believe it? That’s totally fine. We can grab a coffee and talk about cats instead. 😎
So, I’ve heard a lot of wild theories in my life (some of them made me stare at the wall like: why tho? 😂)
But there’s one I keep hearing over and over—even from people I actually know.
What am I talking about? Flat Earth.
Yup. I’ve watched documentaries, I’ve seen YouTube videos where people really try to convince us that the Earth is… flat. 🤔
And I always ask myself: but… why? Like, seriously. Where’s the logic? Don’t we already have so much proof the Earth is round?
People knew the Earth was round over 2,000 years ago!
So why now, in this modern world, are people like: “Nope. No way. This is all fake.”
And seriously...what’s the point of lying about the shape of the Earth? Who is lying? Is there some secret mega-club of thousands of people who got together and said:
“You know what would be fun? Let’s lie to the whole world about the Earth being round. For no reason. Just for the vibes.” 🤔😂
So… story time.
I was visiting my friend recently, and there was this girl there. We were all talking, had a beer (ok maybe two, or three? I wasn’t counting hers 😂) and then out of nowhere she hits me with:
“Hey, have you seen that flat Earth documentary? It’s actually really good. They have proof the Earth is flat.”
My friend and I just looked at each other like… ok this is about to get interesting. 😂
Me being me, I carefully asked: “Oh really? What kind of proof?”
And she goes, full of excitement:
“Well, pilots don’t talk about adjusting for the curve. They fly straight. If the Earth was round, planes would need to tip their noses down all the time. And there’s this pilot who said the Earth is flat because he flies and he can seeit with his own eyes!” (I mean… there are thousands of pilots in the world but ok, they found one and that’s the big proof now? 😂)
So, I asked again: “Ok, but what else?”
She was so happy someone was actually listening:
“Scientists, schools, and space agencies are lying to us to control what we believe. And look around,the ground and the horizon look flat, not curved. If the Earth was round, we would see it! And oceans, lakes, rivers… all look flat. How can water stick to a ball?” (I’m pretty sure physics could help here, but ok 😂)
“Oh and the photos? Totally fake.”
At that point, I was ready. Let’s go. My turn. 😂
I told her:
“Ok, that’s interesting. Can I tell you why I think that’s not true?”
(You know I was already excited for this one. 😂)
So here’s what I said: Let’s start! 😉
1. Ships disappear bottom first
When you watch a ship sailing away, it disappears from the bottom up..first the bottom, then the middle, then the top.
Why? Because the ship is going over the curve of the Earth. Easy.
If the Earth was flat, the whole ship would just look smaller and smaller, but you’d always see the entire ship.
2. Different stars in different places
People in the north (like Europe or the U.S.) see different stars than people in the south (like Australia or South Africa).
Why? Because on a round Earth, we all look at the sky from different angles.
If the Earth was flat, everyone should see the same stars.
3. Time zones
When it’s daytime where I am, it’s nighttime on the other side of the world.
If the Earth was flat, the Sun would shine on the whole Earth at once.
But the Earth spins, so different parts face the Sun at different times.
4. Earth’s shadow on the Moon
When there’s a lunar eclipse, the Earth’s shadow falls on the Moon.
The shadow is always round.
Only a ball can make a round shadow from every angle.
If the Earth was flat, sometimes the shadow would be a line or a weird shape.
5. Airplane flights
Planes fly faster going west to east than east to west because the Earth spins.
Also, flight paths only make sense if the Earth is round.
Some flights would take forever on a flat map.
6. Photos from Space
There are thousands of real photos from astronauts, satellites, and now even private companies.
Flat-Earthers say all the photos are fake, but why would so many people around the world be in on a lie like that?
It makes no sense. There's a lot more to tell you, but let's leave it at that.
(Look, I made this part a little more professional for you 😂)
So after I finished, I asked her: “What do you think about that?”
Yeah… I shouldn’t have asked. 😂 She wasn’t happy. She just said:
“No. They are lying to control us and have power over us. We know the truth.” 🙈
And that was it. I gave up. I told her, super nicely:
“Look, everyone has their own beliefs and that’s totally fine. I have mine too. Believing in something isn’t bad...it’s part of life. But when we have so many simple, clear proofs, maybe we don’t need to argue about it. Belief is one thing, but this is knowing.”
And shortly after that, I left. 😂
Honestly, I love talking to people like that. I don’t argue...I just find it funny and interesting to listen. And yeah, I talk a lot, so this is great entertainment for me. 😂
So, what about you guys? What do you think? And hey, if there’s a Flat-Earther here and you’re mad at me, please, send me your proof!
Oh, and by the way...you know we can go to space now? Space tourism? Go, take a trip, have a look, and then let’s talk. 😉
Have a nice round day, everyone! 😂🌍
