Do you believe the earth is flat, round or is it something else?

[coachTanthony]

Round

Flat

Something else

[worldscolide]

The earth and my self for that matter are a figment of my own imagination

[Daniela1982]

I think when worlds collided, your noggin was between them.

[worldscolide]

Entirely possible. Especially on days like today. My head is killing me

[Daniela1982]

😮😅😂🤣

[BCRanger10]

I think we all know that it's really banana-shaped.

[coachTanthony]

lol.

[Daniela1982]

OK, who reported my post? Some people are soooo sensitive. 🙄🙄

[BCRanger10]

@coachTanthony Thank you for MHO 🙌

Earth is slightly oblong. If it weren’t, cell companies wouldn’t have to build multiple towers to deal with line of sight problems. Ships and vehicles couldn’t disappear over a horizon. The Coriollis effect wouldn’t exist. Which means gyres and hadley cells wouldn’t exist. Which means trade winds wouldn’t exist. The round trips for planes that travel over half the hemisphere around the world would be up to twice as long because they’d have to backtrack. High and low tide wouldn’t work correctly. Obviously satellite imagery. There would be no terminator line. Daylight savings time and things like the sun never shining for months in the polar regions wouldn’t happen. There would be no temperature profile of climates by latitude. The atmosphere of a flat Earth would have been stripped long ago. You can see the shape of the Earth on a lunar eclipse.

It’s round.

[strateguy632]

except for sea due to water, ships you wrote, your other list of proofs, are not proof due to solids, shaped can cause, but liquid like sea proves.

[strateguy632]

about eclipse i was surprised eclipse was curved. someone explained because earth round. still possible a round flat plate like a dinner plate, not orb sphere.

[YesterdaysChild]

If the Earth was not round you would have no horizon and things 500 miles away would still be visible, with a telescope anyway. Also, where would volcanic eruptions come from? A flat earth would not have an inner hot core.

[love_conquers_lust]

@strateguy632 Nope, a requirement for life is a sphere for it to rest on. There are flat land masses floating through space exactly as flat Earthers describe. They’re called asteroids. They come in all shapes and sizes. And they are predominantly lifeless.

[love_conquers_lust]

@strateguy632 Nope, the eclipse shows a rounded edge on both sides. Not flat, not irregular, round. The Earth is round. You don’t need any fancy technology to witness it for yourself the next time it happens.

[KingOfMe1]

Tbh... I've never done any research of my own. I can tell you one thing but it has nothing to do with my actual personal knowledge and findings.

Only reason I say that is because most people don't actually do any research. I know flat earth people (some) do research and so I keep an open mind but I wouldn't bet on them. I don't know what the earth is. I can tell you who I trust due to being programmed to trust them but I don't know really know anything myself

[Pudsmucker]

Looking at pictures of Earth and flying you can tell that the Earth is not flat. One less have a strong faith and work the faith into knowledge. Scene nautical maps and Ariel maps. And seeing photos from satellites to Earth it proves that the Earth is round.

[Daniela1982]

They say Earth is not a perfect sphere but slightly oblong from rotation and moon pull.

[Bilboes]

It made me happy not to see flat-earthers in this post. Because it is reassuring to see that there are still sensible and intelligent people in this site.

[Jessica405]

It is round, but with slightly flattened polar regions.

[Friendlybro79]

An oblate spheroid is what you describe! I remember learning this as a kid. Ha.

[Jessica405]

@Friendlybro79 Yup. One of thoose things I knew once but forgot as never used. LOL.

[Anonymous]

I grew up with flat earther parents. We didn't have Internet for some of or teen years. And we weren't allowed to attend science classes when they talked about space etc.

now as an adult I know this is very untrue.

[llorando]

Voted something else as the earth is not flat nor is it perfectly round.

[OlderAndWiser]

Slightly ovoid.

[Dargil]

It's approximately spherical but slightly wider at the equator from all the evidence I have seen.

[Anpu23]

The earth is spherical with a slight bulge in the center around the equator. Not perfectly round, but close.

[artgorgeous]

Earth is flat, because a lot of people on youtube say so. That's why its flat.

[strateguy632]

i am almost certain this planet earth is same as the moon we all see. why not?

[Staximus]

We can see that every other planet in our solar system is round due to gravity and rotation. People who believe the earth is flat have a flat head.

[strateguy632]

but an exception is possible.

[Kingofkings1992]

The earth is round, and that’s not a matter of belief

[strateguy632]

so you believe.

[nik0102]

you can easily check it when swimming. the curvature will actually hide any ships that are far away, so by placing your eye at sea level, you get a different picture than by standing up

[mike5150]

It's a triangular shape. That's why they put a triangle on the back of money.

[DarkLegacy]

88% of people got this wrong, Earth is a sphere. It is flattened slightly at the poles and bulges at the equator due to it's rotation.

[mandyfire98]

Earth is asshole

[Jessica405]

Round, like mine!

[Kelly6]

Totally agree 😆

[OfMiceandMen]

Kind of oblate spheroid to be exact.
