Trip to Antarctica for 1 person: $45,000 Trip to Antarctica for 4 people: $180,000 Watching the entire flat earth community cannibalize each other: priceless
I'm a flat earther, and so is my partner, and we would love to go on a free trip to Antarctica to truly prove that it is an ice wall. Definitely totally flat earthers.
Yes I’m here to confirm that @patricklloyd1797 has been the biggest flat earther ever…but he needs to have TWO others go with him and i am that third 😂😂😂😉
Watching all the flat earthers try to tap dance their way out of tons of evidence as they turn on each other is going to be fantastic. Dave, you are a very humble and decent human being, and I expect you will largely be taking the high road here, but please forgive those of us who revel in the dissolutionment of the flerf community.
"It's 11AM right now" "No it's 8PM" "The clock says 11AM" "The clock is a lie" "Here is a video from someone outside right now" "The video is CGI" "The door is open you can check for yourself" "I don't wanna go outside"
There's definitely a deep psychological reason why Flat-earthers exist. My guess is a lot of them feel unimportant and insignificant in life. They feel like they truely don't matter and have no purpose to exist... By stating that they're part of a select minority of humans who know "THE TRUTH", it makes them feel special after living decades as a nobody. These are people who sit in bed each night and wonder "I was meant for something more; why didn't I amount to anything?!" I guarantee if Flat Earth was eventually proven wrong to these people to the point they couldn't argue it further, many of them (if not most of them) would fall into a VERY deep depression because you've sent them back to their cruel reality of unimportance.
It is the same mental disease that has given rise to Trump. All these morons want to be special and "on the inside" so they can be special instead of just normal people. Cults
And the grifters see an opportunity in these people. They know it's bullshit. They've known it's bullshit the whole time. The ones who didn't are dead. Denying the earth's shape will inevitably lead to denying things like medicine and needing food. But most will never have it proven enough for them. Preserving their ego is far to important. As in they'll feel like their dying if its proven hard enough. So they'll throw their hands over their heads and shriek to avoid reality. Or they'll simply kill themselves when it fully sinks in how much time and money they wasted on nonsense. And the fact they will never ever wash off the label of flat earther now. If they realized their mistake. Then people see them as simply gullible. But if the truth had to be forced. Their intelligence is treated as inferior forever.
I have to imagine the venn diagram between the Flerfs and narcissism is almost a perfect circle. If this experiment has demonstrated anything already, it's that they dont want to gather evidence and learn about reality, they want to be able to assert what reality is. They do not care about truth, only about positioning themselves as the lone voice in the wilderness who is smarter than every expert you can imagine, while never having to put in a fraction of the work to understand real science. Ive got to agree with Professor Dave sadly that I dont think this will change much with Flerfs. They dont approach this subject as scientists, but like a doomsday cult with a science veneer. "The sun being visible 24 hours at the pole is fine actually/a deep fake and we'll be able to prove Flat Earth exists any day now."
Yes I agree, it's a coping mechanism, which also explains why most of them have a low level of education. Most likely, many of them weren't successful in academia, which also lead to a lack of success in finding a job, and thus they beganindulging in such fantasies. I would argue that's one side of flat-earthers. But I couldn't help but notice many young people adopting this type of behaviour, due to the influence of social media disinformation.
Unfortunately I feel like this hasn’t done much damage at all. Like Dave showed, the community was very quick to insulate themselves against this project and cast anybody willing to go as a shill and irrelevant. It feels nice to think they’re all scrambling and shitting themselves, but in reality they’ll be just fine and just as dangerous. I really hope the project and its results will lead some to the light, but those who don’t want to believe have already decided.
I think Will Duffy is a bit naive. It sounds like he genuinely thinks these flat earthers believe in what they preach. These guys are grifters. There is no amount of confirmation bias that can hold someone to this level of denial. In a way, Will Duffy is being played by buying into their disingenuousness and giving them more exposure. Just my take.
@@soccerkick35 he does appear to be very... I don't want to say open minded, but in an interview with Dan (of the SciMan variety), he said he had spoke to them alot and thought he would probably keep in contact with them in the future. So I agree he's probably not got the correct read on most of the flat earth influencers, I'm sure plenty of their viewers believe in it, but I don't think most of the "big" creators do. I think he probably thinks it's similar to his faith in god, he genuinely believes in what he preaches... And so he assumes they do to. I don't know I'd say he's being played... Just because I don't think out of the three flat earthers who are going they're likely to be thinking that far ahead, I think it sounds like only the woman genuinely believes she's be proven right, and the other two have been painted ibto a corner.
i dont think it will make a huge dent...your average flat earther will find a way to deny the outcomings. BUT I believe Jeran might be convinced and when it comes to Witsit i think it will take a talking point away at least but probably he will continue. I think Jeran might change sides after this. Very difficult to get out this mindset... he might just join an other conspiracy group.
I love this experiment. It's not designed to prove the Earth is a globe (although it would do that), but is addressing instead the real controversy: do flat-earthers honestly believe the earth is flat, or are they lying for attention? The experiment proved conclusively and near universally the latter.
The content creators around it certainly are, i believe their subs and people that view and donate do believe in that stuff for sure but the creators no, its like how charlatons will just say whatever to get money, whether they believe it or not.
Yeah they are either backpedalling on the impossibility of a 24 hour sun in Antartica or claiming it'll be faked. As if it is remotely possible to fake the SUN of all things
It IS a debate, but it’s a debate in the same way you and some friends get into an argument about something you could just look up because it’s already known, and the flat earthers are the one friend who won’t back down even after you’ve shoved 6 articles in his face.
1- "can you turn off the lights" 2- "can't" 1-"why?" 2-"I'm busy" 1-"I can't go to sleep with the lights on" 2-"there's no switch" 1-"it's right there" 2-"doesn't work" 1-"really?" 2-"it has never worked" 1-"have you tried?" 2-"no but that's how it was made" 1-"fine I'll do it" 2-"NO! Wait..." 1-"what is it?" 2-"....I'm..afraid of the dark" Honesty goes a long way
If you were early into when they were picking who to go it didn't matter, but now I don't think anyone is paying for a glober to go 😂 you can pretend to be a flerf and get crowd funded, but the host isn't funding anyone anymore, he's already paying for 3-4 people (including himself, I can't remember if he payed for the extra flerf to go, because jarren said he wouldn't go unless another flerf went with him)
I can never hear "ice wall" without being reminded of hbomberguy's question (paraphrased): "If the ice wall is all that's keeping the ocean from flowing over the edge, doesn't that make global warming *WAY* worse?"
Firmament. A more or less glass dome. They all have a few explanations ready at hand. But only a few. It all comes down to magic anyway. SO it's fairly easy to just make shit up as they go along. If you don't question it too much
isn't a lot of that ice also just floating over water? Maybe not to the same extent as the arctic but it's certainly not something that keeps water in.
FoldingIdeas video on the topic is much more illuminating. The shape of the earth has little to no meaningful distinction in this worldview. It’s not about that, it’s about a broader rejection of objectivity, empiricism, and authority. The world is flat in much the same way it’s 6000 years old to some people.
They don't dare create a model. A model would make predictions of celestial observations that could be tested and falsified, even by average people with a few simple tools like a compass and a homemade quadrant.
Love how that guy genuinely uses it as a positive of being on the Flat Earth side, like "yeah we're on the better side, it's not *possible* to prove us wrong with evidence, cause we can just question everything forever!"
Holy shit, when the guy said planes would have to tilt down in order to follow the earth something clicked for me. These people actually believe earth's physics are just how the whole universe works. They cannot fathom that earth itself is part of another system which is creating these conditions on earth. And physics have an actual mechanism for how they work, not just "EVERYTHING GO DOWN". Thats truly moronic
@kaizoey No. They can't. Find D Marble's vid. It is hilarious and totally stupid. Flerfers have some idea that DOWN has some actual meaning other than towards the center of a globe earth. You can fall off the edge!!!! Wow! The medieval moronicity extends to way past flat earth though.
In a sense that is what aircraft have to do to follow earth’s curvature. However it is so gradual that it’s almost imperceptible. Older style gyroscopes are air-powered (still prevalent in small private airplanes). They include a mechanism with pendulous vanes, which are like small doors on a single hinge point, such that they align vertically with earth’s gravity. When the gyro mechanism tilts, such that the _vanes_ are still aligned with gravity, but the _mechanism_ isn’t, small air ports become uncovered and a jet of air emits causing the mechanism to realign to the local direction of gravity, normal to earth’s surface. Modern gyroscopes are ring-laser-gyros and operate off relativistic calculations of reflected light within a closed mechanism.
BTW you can estimate the angular rate of “nose dip” by assuming an aircraft circumnavigating the globe at a given speed. A large airliner at 600 mph would traverse earth’s circumference (about 24,901 miles) in 41.5 hours. That means the nose comes full circle in 41.5 hrs … or 0.15 degrees a minute.
The reality is that this experiment has already been a huge success. All you have to do is watch which side is exploding and freaking out and which side is calm and laughing at the other. It shows exactly how confident both sides are in their ideas.
I know they are scrambling to come up with some b******* right now.. in 2009 me is just like you mad bro? I mean isn't that the original rules to internet conversations he who gets mad first loses
Imagine every resource available via your favorite search engine not being enough lol. Reason and evidence wont work to convince someone out of a position they didn't arrive at using said means. If this trip actually comes to fruition (id love to see it, but i bet it breaks down for any given number of reasons), i would expect to see the obfuscation and excuse making tantrum of a lifetime.
I commented on a post of yours and while ago and I was in a really bad place and you responded and at the time I was loosing my faith and I was looking for a fight. I just want to say i truly respect what you're doing and I want to thank you for putting all this scientific knowledge out in a easy to digest way to help everyone willing to listen
@@ProfessorDaveExplainsguess what my classmates say the earth is flat just to irritate me because I state the obvious on the earth being round and not flat I just ignore because I would be arguing with nobody
Dave, 2 years ago we spoke once. I asked you: "Dave, why you are so rude to flat earthers, they really believe this, so let's teach them with science". You told me "because they are liars and trolling". You were right.

@@FutureWorldX It's just ridiculous to bring politics and unfounded claims into this. The shape of the earth is a science discussion, not a political debate.
Sadly the best we can hope for I think are a few honest flat earthers who will finally see witsit as the scam artist he is, considering the sheer amount of backpedling and denials of past claims flat earthers have been doing since this trip was announced.
The trouble is folks, the flerfs will always have 'Nuh-uh' to fall back on - you guys don't. This experiment will change FE belief by barely a fraction of a percent of an iota. As with religions, you cannot reason a person out of a position which they did not reason themselves into. It's going to be a great treat for those lucky folk though - stay safe.
He's a "fraud" because it's "not an experiment"? He's making a prediction (24 hour sun) and then testing his hypotheses! That's literally an experiment!
I -am- -now- have always been a staunch proponent of the flat earth -theory- truth. I have absolute incontrovertible evidence that Antarctica is an ice wall. I will reveal this evidence only if I -get- -a- -free- -trip- am dragged against my will to Antarctica.
A Flat Earther I know irl believed the joke that Halloween was going to fall on _Friday the 13th_ this year. Kinda shows the type of intellect we're dealing with here.
Well I guess if we aren't on a globe orbiting the sun then the Gregorian calendar is meaningless and any measurement of time is arbitrary so why can't the 13th and the 31st be on the same day? What even is a day? Why am I here? What is? 😳 The logic totally checks out 🤓🧐 It's all just a conspiracy guys, the government just wants us to think the laws that govern the universe make sense when actually we exist on a pizza crust inside a dome that's suspended in... Nothingness? The power to run the simulated night sky that's projected on the dome comes from nowhere because NASA lied to us about everything and even energy doesn't exist. Ya'll just need to wake up and stop believing everything you're told 🤪
What a world we live in where the biggest grifters (or the stupidest people) get offered once in a life time opportunities most people would never get.
But it isn't that hard to get to Antarctica. It is expensive, but most far away trips are. Like if I want to make a vacation in Japan from Europe is costs me a fortune, and not much less than going to Antarctica. But all those people going on long range flights or long cruises could also afford a trip to Antarctica. So it isn't really a once in a lifetime opportunity, however then again I don't know how much money you are going to make with flat earth grifts.
@@ANTIStraussianGrifters gotta band up with grifters, after all. Makes it easier for them to consistently double/triple/quadruple down and move their goalposts every ten seconds…
@@bobthebuilder9509 I do think some are liars. Some may just be trolls, who don't think what they are doing is lying. Few to none of them seem interested in the truth no matter what they call themselves. A real truther, would weigh both sides carefully and learn all they can. If someone does that, it's hard to believe they could conclude a flat earth, the evidence for a sphere is overwhelming.
For most it's about feeling powerless and irrelevant imo. Conspiracy theories are an easy coping mechanism to feel a little better about yourself through a fake sense of superiority. Flat earth is simply one of the most extreme examples.
This was brilliant and diabolical. It puts them in an impossible position. Either they refuse and demonstrate beyond a doubt that they’re faithless hypocrite cowards, or they actually accept and get proven cataclysmically wrong. This debacle won’t actually convince any flerfers, but this feels like the final humiliation.
The problem is we already know what the cope will be: it was scheduled ahead of time, so the problem who control the sun were able to make it look like the earth was a globe. You cannot logic a cultist out of their cult.
They are morons who either don't know about it or don't want to admit that they are moronic wankers benefiting from the stupidity of the first kind. And I want to strip them of all their respect, dignity and clothes for it
This is why I like Jeran. He puts his momey where his mouth is. He, now, constantly calls out the hypocricsy of flerfers saying they won't go because "there's no point." Flat earther or not, Jeran is someone I respect.
It doesn’t matter. People literally watch Trump say horrible things on video and five minutes later say “oh, he didn’t say that”. Truth is completely irrelevant to these people. They’re either grifters, bigots, or both.
Man eating Penguins? Hitler owns a fortress and has an army of red sash NASA agents guarding the ice wall? Xenomorphs attack anyone that lands? Where Hollywood sends bad movies and series to go where they die. They manifest and take solid form, guarding the icewall from foolish travellers? Cat's are banned as they would push everything off it.
The earth is flat, and I would NEVER take free tickets to Antartica. Please send the tickets so I may destroy them myself and DEFINITELY not take a vacation there.
What I got out of this is that a twitter poll and a guy offering to fund an Antartica trip can cause major infighting and shill accusations to start within the flat earth community.
the Al Gore Rhythm goes to autoload for that vid often if you watch say a sciman dan vid, probably because its on my history for youtube. I'm happy to add views to any professor dave vid but especially that one, it's a classic.
It makes me happy that stupid globebusters video is Professor Dave's most-viewed. I hope he made a good chunk of change off that one, and the flat earthers made none!
@@ProfessorDaveExplainsthere arw two kinds of flat earthers. Those who would go to space and say oops i was wrong lol. And those who would say my trip to orbit was fake.
@@Exit311 even if they leave flat earth they will still love trump, still be anti vaxx, still think climate change is fake, still think earth is 6,000 years old.
Dave McKeegan is a perfect representative for the Normals. He is very respectful, very meticulous, and his dog is very cute. And he knows more about photography than all the flat earthers put together.
oh, i've heard a flat-earther say "everyone who has ever gone south of the equator has been brainwashed." AND he copy-pastes that, verbatim, EVERY time anyone says "equator", in ANY context.
Jeran Campanella traveled to Antarctica and observed a 24-hour sun. Now he admits he was wrong and the Flat-Earther community is calling him a fraud lol
There’s a very simple reason why flat-earthers aren’t going on this trip that THEY requested: “You can’t wake someone up who’s pretending to be asleep.”
Ur rude insults against everyone are intolerable and insufferable though. That's why I like all flat earthers usually and usually hate everyone like you or global earthers as it were. I don't care if the earth is square or a triangle. Ur attitude is horrible. And ur nothing more than the bully I'd have loved to find when I was kid with ur mouth homeboy. How about saying it as politely as they are like FOR EX. I SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. I APPRECIATE YOUR SINCERITY. I DO UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT MY GOOD MAN, HOWEVER IF YOU'LL ALLOW ME TO KINDLY OFFER MY SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE ALSO. instead of all ur horrifick garbage. Morons, imbisils, fools, idiots, stupid fools, crapped their pants etc. etc. etc. that you think makes us somebody. It makes u nobody homeboy, but a bully. And that is why I love flat earthers. They have so much class. Ur just mean and rude and insufferable to listen to and mean to everybody, and a bully. I mean, who even do u really believe u are dude??? Like ur nothing fool! Like literally. U ain't nothing mo than them.
You're probably true, but they're gonna be there for like 4 days or something being recorded basically the whole time... The mask will slip at some point
@@RivBank-o3j I think the 24 hour night "works" on the flat earth to though Well as much as anything can be said to work given the lack of a coherent model.
Oh he does understand. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's a complete liar, it's total BS, like everything he says, and he knows it. It's just part of the con.
It's worse than that. It actually DOES apply! The whole point of a round Earth is that you can "go to the other side" and the sky rotates the opposite way. What "other side" is there to go to on a flat Earth?
David Weiss: "If there is a 24-hour sun in Antarctica it won't prove the shape of the earth. It just means we haven't understood the sky." Well, yes, that's because you haven't understood ANYTHING.
What's funny to me is that this is almost how science works at very large and very small scales. For example: "expansion of space" as an explanation for red shift or "particles" which are only known to exist as answers to equations which won't otherwise balance.
@@MarcillaSmith - Einstein's theories proved that expansion of space was a thing long before Hubble observed the phenomenon. What are you even talking about?
I've been years asking them how you can get 24hr on the rim on a disc while the center has sunset and sunrise from a source of light that is always zenithal to the disc. So far they've not yet understood why that is a problem for the flat earth.
Well he understood how to make easy money by convincing the weak and instable persons of this bs as the prof. already said in the video... they all already know but they gain money from spreading lies
WhatI love most about all this is the desperation and trademark dishonesty of flerfs. Last year Antarctica did not exist, you could not go there, there was no 24 hour sun. NOW, not only it exist, its round and you can go, BUT the 24 hour sun confirms the flat earth. Desperation to the maximum
@@TheZodiacRipper They usually dont make sense to even remeber what they say, but one that I heard is that the 24 hour sun is made by NASA with a sun simulator, to deceive people. So that confirms flat earth....somehow, cause NASA bad I guess.
Ask as flat earther what would happen if u flew north non-stop. I asked one & they said u cant theyd shoot u down. I said but what if they didnt whatd happen? He got mad as hell for some reason.
Even if flat earthers don't think they're in antarctica, they still have to explain why the sun is in the sky 24 hours with no sunset. They will also need to explain if they're not in antarctica, where could they possibly be on a flat earth where there is a 24 hour sun?
Sure. It's not that women are well educated with their OWN EFFING BODY or get informed in detail, in school or at the latest during pregnancy preparation by professional doctors. Of course, it's "We" HAVE TO TELL THEM! But that is a wonderful take, my friend. Hateful misogyny spiced with a little ableism at the core of your under-performing "joke". You actually have the same disease like the group you are dehumanizing: You are uneducated, immature and your insecurity cries loudly for help. Learn something about the topic. Your are seconds away from doing that correctly and to inform yourself about reality. You are demonstrably already using the internet. How about for something useful? YOUR education? Or just stay like delusional flat-earthers which you are joking about their intelligence. Which is NOT the problem. Well, the thought that you actually have a lot in common with the object of your hate is actually quite funny (Schadenfreude). Thank you for that! Also: Are you completely out of your mind? The topic of the video, the whole shebang about the situation is to inform people and counter misinformation spread by grifters that actually abuse gullible people. And you have the audacity to paint a picture about uninformed women on the topic of THEIR heath concerns and even in THE women's topic pregnancy and healthcare. You are a blatant liar!!! I suggest to look up who really needs education in the matter of health prevention and child welfare on this globe, my very very stooopid(which is wrong and just a saying) and illiterate friend!
I'm not going to lie... The part where the CHILD ABUSER slaps his kid.. absolutely broke me. I hope beyond all hope that he faces some kind of consequences for his appalling behaviour. He should be in prison.
This is their "weed killer is safe enough to drink, but I won't actually drink it" moment, where grifters are finally made to put themselves on the line, after putting everyone else on the line, to stand by their claims, and they run away instead.
"I believe in a globe Earth but I can't prove it. But I know how, so let's all go and see." If that was not a moment of divine clarity I would like a better example. Well done sir.
It could be done with much simpler experiments... but flerfpratts have themselves done these experiments, proved themselves wrong and ignored the results anyways.
@@l0rf See my very own "HOH on Greenhow Hill" for a far cheaper experiment. HOH is "Hydroflowmatic Oligoorientational Horizontaliser," inspired by the desire to say I'd carried a $200 HOH up a hill in the Yorkshire Dales. You don't have to call yours a HOH if you don't want to. Anyway, it allows me to take a picture with a demonstrated eye level in it, horizontal at the device's centre, with other hills in the background. It'd work better with manual aperture and focus control, but i t worked well enough. The simple version of using it is that from each of two peaks of similar altitude, like Carnedd Llewellyn and Scafell Pike or Black Hambleton and Greenhow Hill or Brown Clee Hill and a particular junction of stone walls on the east side of a particular hill in the Peak District, you can see the other below eye level. The more complicated version involves taking actual measurements and calculating the angles, as demonstrated in my follow-up doing the maths to get an actual (refracted) radius value.
Yo, that segment from Simulated Sun was awesome! I had no idea Dave did music or anything like that, it sounds and looks great! I’m gonna get on that right after I watch the rest of this video. I just had to comment how awesome I thought it was, I’m surprised he doesn’t talk more about it or mention it more often, or maybe I’m just oblivious and have never noticed.
The worst part about the argument is that they say that there is no 24 hour sun and the sun always *SETS* but I don't see how they could even explain how a SUNSET could happen on a flat Earth
Flat earthers all seem to have one thing in common, the inability to properly visualise things spatially. They would have all failed industrial arts classs at school where one has to look at an object and then draw it from different perspectives.
I had this same thought. Their problem is an inability of spatial visualization. And an inability to translate back and forth from words to visual imagery. That's why nobody can argue with them. You can't get them to even understand what you're saying. I once had a female friend who couldn't look at a map and translate that to a knowledge of how to get somewhere. You had to give her instructions like, "Go down road X for two miles, then turn left after a green barn with a red roof. After a quarter mile, the road will fork off. Take the right fork.... etc." Forget about drawing her a map. She was utterly incapable of interpreting such a thing, even though, for most people, the map is far preferable to a linear verbal narrative, which often entails all kinds of ambiguities. She was quite intelligent otherwise. That's when I realized that some people must have a genetic inability to manipulate or even hold visual images in their minds. A similar phenomenon is "face blindness," which is an inability to remember and recognize faces. Most humans are born with a specialized mental ability to do this. But some people (and there a lot more of them than you might expect) are completely unable to do this. You might have known them intimately for ten years, but they won't recognize you in the grocery store until you speak. At that point they'll probably recognize your voice. There was a grocery store clerk in my neighborhood like that. I had many short conversations with her over the years, so she had to know who I was, but every time I would step up to the check-out counter, she would give me a blank look like she had never seen me before in her life. I thought that maybe she was just an unfriendly person until I saw a video about face blindness, and then I understood. Such people tend to compensate with things like remembering explicit verbal concepts like "Jenny has a pony-tail, is about 6 inches taller than me, etc. And voice recognition is another tool for them. Of course, that doesn't help until they speak. Their disability causes a lot of embarrassment for them in life, such as people being offended when they don't greet them in public, etc. People think, "Wow. She's giving me the cold shoulder," when it wasn't intentional at all.
They'd only move the goalposts anyway. I guessed they'd claim that they weren't taken to Antarctica before it came up in the video. Then I guessed that they might try and claim that there is a second sun... I know these people too well.
they'll move on to yapping about geocentricism... but really, I think the two that are going will hold their hands up and the rest will carry on and just cry shill
@@RogueCoup Wait but if Antartica would be in the middle then there's no longer a justifiable place for a boundary since the north pole doesn't have a whole continent's worth of ice to use. I'd bet they add an imaginary exclusion zone that no one can go to because it's in the muddle of the ocean and somehow warps space so that it's parallel to any direction you could travel in.
Funny how obvious is it how few of these people actually believe the Earth is flat. You can't convince them because they already know, they just have to keep the act going because that's how they make money.
I'm still amazed tbh. The whole situation with flat Earth is impenetrable to me, and their reaction to TFE as well. I don't understand it at all, despite loosely following the discourse for years. So it's interesting that some others find it obvious. I mean, if they're grifters, how the hell do you become a grifter? Especially such an arcane type of grifter? What do you think to yourself? They can't all be grifters - because a grifter wouldn't waste time watching all this tripe, and there are a lot of FE viewers. What are their thoughts like? Why wouldn't those actual believers they stop believing, or at least become suspucious, when the grifters are being so weird and are refusing to go?
@@kathorsees I don't believe a few of them are grifters, I think they have debilitating paranoia. It might be impossible for them to change their opinion without medication.
@@12pentaborane huh! That's an interesting idea. I think that would explain a lot of the die-hard believers. But I also think a few are definitely grifters - e.g., some of the content creators.
Exactly! If any of these morons *actually* believed the Earth was flat, they'd go on that free trip to Antartica instantly. Instantly. With all the BS they spew about a global conspiracy, and how everyone who believes in the globe Earth are "sheep", and how there's a collective army made up of soliders from many nations guarding Antarctica to stop people going there to prevent people finding out the truth; anyone who truly believes the Earth is flat would absolutely *jump* at the chance to finally get one over on the "world government", and prove that NASA, the US government, that every astronomer and cosmologist was wrong and that they were correct all along. The only reason that they'd refuse to go is because they already know that the Earth is an sphere, and they make good money from making BS flat Earth content. They also know that they'd no longer be able to peddle their flat Earth nonsense anymore if they go on a very publicised journey to Antarctica and have the flat Earth proven so clearly wrong. They'd be exposed to a much bigger audience than they ever were before with the Antarctica trip. An audience that would not relent in saying how much of a lying fraud they are with every single video or post they'd continue to make about flat Earth for years afterwards. They know that no matter what happens, going on the trip would be the end of their flerfie content.
@@12pentaboraneactually you might be onto something here I had some archaic and downright psychotic beliefs that weren't helped until I started taking Desvenlafaxine and Buspirone it's what changed me from atheist to theological (after a stroke rattled me) some are ready for God and the truth others stay in their comforting delusion. trying to relive an argument they failed years ago. something they got mad at that caused so much cognitive dissonance that it broke them.
There's already people who genuinely believe that the ice wall is hiding a secret extra layer of the flat earth with continents like Atlantis and Mu being found there. So they could literally declare that place to not be Antarctica but some made up location where there is an extra sun.
A secret island, with 24 hour sun, frozen winter, contained entirely within the northern hemisphere only 4 hours away from Chile? .... Can I see it? No
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE I got this straight from a sub-reddit and confirmed it on 4chan!!! The island is where our lizard overlord government HQ is and their tech is so advanced that we cannot comprehend it and that tech is shielding the island from our crude detection instruments. The lizards surreptitiously redirect the plane to this island where they obscure the real sun and replace it with a identical fake sun, all to maintain the globist hegemony. The beauty is in the simplicity =) Now all you globist's can SUCK on Occam's Razor.
Pastor enters flat/globe Earth debate by offering to pay for the experiment all the flat earthers have been demanding for a decade. Flat earthers: "DEMON!" 😂
I mean... yeah. If you believe the earth is flat because you're actually dedicated to reading the "word of god" as written instead of trying to pretend it fits reality at all, then the "pastors" who acquiesce to reality and say it's round are against the word of god.
I'm not even surprised that the go-to move of this kind of people is to dehumanize their opponent, considering that their conspiracy theories are filled with n*zi dogwhistles
I have a phobia of flying (shivering, paranoia of crashing, panic at every single perfectly normal bit of turbulence, tearing up/crying etc, eating a bunch of benadryl to sedate myself or make myself sleep, it's fucking pathetic 🤣) but I'd STILL get on a plane to freaking ANTARCTICA because holy shit that'd be amazing!
The fact that most flerfs started claiming a 24-hour sun in Antarctica works just fine on their imaginary dirt pizza *within days* of the announcement of TFE tells you everything you need to know. It's been a grift all along.
It literally makes sense 😂 that's what's crazy. Y'all are blinded by actual logic. If the sun circles the center it's gonna shine on that part of earth vs it being on the more outer side when the season changes up
i had no warning about it and it triggered my c-ptsd as a survivor of childhood abuse, i wish there was at least some kind of warning in the video idk if i can keep listening. i’d hope that someone on that stream called cps but i think it’s naive at this point.

@@Rizik1986It shows that they were all shills all along. They never actually believed the Earth is flat, because that idea is so preposterous it's been made fun of for centuries, nay, millennia.

39:20 Very glad you included this clip of Oakley's blatant child abuse. That should be played every time his name comes up in a video. David Weiss is an elder-abuser. In 2019 or 2020 he was in a nursing home, iirc, and there was a birthday party for a 101-year-old resident. To my best recollection, Weiss saw her alone & talked to her, convincing her that she was taught the earth was flat as a child, then "they" started lying about it in the 1950s. He kept going until she was crying over being lied to most of her life. He kneeled beside her and took a selfie with a lizard like smile on his face. On her 101st birthday.
@@Megaritz I saw it live and have a copy of it somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is. So at this point it is "according to what THIS guy says" and can't be confirmed without that footage. So no, I don't know where the footage is in my many external disks, but I hope someone else might have that footage closer on hand and post it.
Nathan Oakley says "You wanna know why I won't go down to Antarctica". Why would a flat earther say "go down to" if they believe it's an ice wall surrounding a flat plane?
I can imagine that even for dedicated and true flat earthers, it's quite ingrained to say stuff like "go down to" or similar since pretty much everyone else says it.
It's a fair question why they don’t just suggest traveling to Antarctica from their own city instead of accepting traveling all the way "down" to South America first.
could just be ingrained speech, i used to live up from a store on a hill but now i live down from it on a hill, i still say "lets go down to the store" just cause its what id been saying for over half my life good observation tho, i think the little intricacies of how a person talks are pretty interesting depending on their field of work or study or (what to call this... ah!) agenda
I think this was the totally wrong move. Instead of financing a holiday trip, we should help them getting medical treatment. I know the American health system is worse than the idea of a flat-earth, so lets provide them access to a professional psychiatric hospital and the absolutely needed medication for some months. This would be much more ethical from a humanistic perspective, as all of that nonsense is only about making money and content ... while harming other gullible people in the process (which is in some cases a criminal act ... so that is another thing). In my country, uttering such nonsense in public will get you the attention of the public prosecutor, who is able to order a psychological evaluation and if you are a danger to yourself and others. If needed, you will get the help needed. Royalty free! I also ask you to think about the perception of Germans and their take on humor. Most of it is stereotypical and not true. Anyways, I wish a good journey and some cold "Eisbock" (Eisbock is a beer specialty in which water is removed from the finished beer by freezing). Have a good one, friends!:)
OBVIOUSLY because the antarctic ice wall is lower than other land masses. If it was taller, it would hold a deeper ocean and everyone would drown. Right?

Most Jews aren't NASA penguins but all NASA penguins are Jewish.
Is it seasonal work or permanent for a select few?
Well I'll be.... you learn something new every day.
There's definitely a deep psychological reason why Flat-earthers exist. My guess is a lot of them feel unimportant and insignificant in life. They feel like they truely don't matter and have no purpose to exist... By stating that they're part of a select minority of humans who know "THE TRUTH", it makes them feel special after living decades as a nobody. These are people who sit in bed each night and wonder "I was meant for something more; why didn't I amount to anything?!"
I guarantee if Flat Earth was eventually proven wrong to these people to the point they couldn't argue it further, many of them (if not most of them) would fall into a VERY deep depression because you've sent them back to their cruel reality of unimportance.
It is the same mental disease that has given rise to Trump. All these morons want to be special and "on the inside" so they can be special instead of just normal people. Cults
And the grifters see an opportunity in these people. They know it's bullshit. They've known it's bullshit the whole time. The ones who didn't are dead. Denying the earth's shape will inevitably lead to denying things like medicine and needing food.
But most will never have it proven enough for them. Preserving their ego is far to important. As in they'll feel like their dying if its proven hard enough. So they'll throw their hands over their heads and shriek to avoid reality.
Or they'll simply kill themselves when it fully sinks in how much time and money they wasted on nonsense. And the fact they will never ever wash off the label of flat earther now. If they realized their mistake. Then people see them as simply gullible. But if the truth had to be forced. Their intelligence is treated as inferior forever.
I have to imagine the venn diagram between the Flerfs and narcissism is almost a perfect circle. If this experiment has demonstrated anything already, it's that they dont want to gather evidence and learn about reality, they want to be able to assert what reality is.
They do not care about truth, only about positioning themselves as the lone voice in the wilderness who is smarter than every expert you can imagine, while never having to put in a fraction of the work to understand real science.
Ive got to agree with Professor Dave sadly that I dont think this will change much with Flerfs. They dont approach this subject as scientists, but like a doomsday cult with a science veneer.
"The sun being visible 24 hours at the pole is fine actually/a deep fake and we'll be able to prove Flat Earth exists any day now."
Yes I agree, it's a coping mechanism, which also explains why most of them have a low level of education. Most likely, many of them weren't successful in academia, which also lead to a lack of success in finding a job, and thus they beganindulging in such fantasies.
I would argue that's one side of flat-earthers. But I couldn't help but notice many young people adopting this type of behaviour, due to the influence of social media disinformation.
It's actually really sad. I wouldn’t wish depression on anyone, I know what it's like
Will Duffy is a genius. He hasn't spent a penny yet, and the flat earth community has already imploded.
Unfortunately I feel like this hasn’t done much damage at all. Like Dave showed, the community was very quick to insulate themselves against this project and cast anybody willing to go as a shill and irrelevant.
It feels nice to think they’re all scrambling and shitting themselves, but in reality they’ll be just fine and just as dangerous. I really hope the project and its results will lead some to the light, but those who don’t want to believe have already decided.
I think Will Duffy is a bit naive. It sounds like he genuinely thinks these flat earthers believe in what they preach. These guys are grifters. There is no amount of confirmation bias that can hold someone to this level of denial. In a way, Will Duffy is being played by buying into their disingenuousness and giving them more exposure. Just my take.
@@soccerkick35

@@soccerkick35 he does appear to be very... I don't want to say open minded, but in an interview with Dan (of the SciMan variety), he said he had spoke to them alot and thought he would probably keep in contact with them in the future.
So I agree he's probably not got the correct read on most of the flat earth influencers, I'm sure plenty of their viewers believe in it, but I don't think most of the "big" creators do.
I think he probably thinks it's similar to his faith in god, he genuinely believes in what he preaches... And so he assumes they do to.
I don't know I'd say he's being played... Just because I don't think out of the three flat earthers who are going they're likely to be thinking that far ahead, I think it sounds like only the woman genuinely believes she's be proven right, and the other two have been painted ibto a corner.
i dont think it will make a huge dent...your average flat earther will find a way to deny the outcomings. BUT I believe Jeran might be convinced and when it comes to Witsit i think it will take a talking point away at least but probably he will continue. I think Jeran might change sides after this. Very difficult to get out this mindset... he might just join an other conspiracy group.
I love this experiment. It's not designed to prove the Earth is a globe (although it would do that), but is addressing instead the real controversy: do flat-earthers honestly believe the earth is flat, or are they lying for attention? The experiment proved conclusively and near universally the latter.
The content creators around it certainly are, i believe their subs and people that view and donate do believe in that stuff for sure but the creators no, its like how charlatons will just say whatever to get money, whether they believe it or not.
The real Final Experiment is the reactions of the Flat Earth community. Their refusal to disprove their grift was 100% predictable.
I still maintain that the FE is a psychology experiment
This was my impression as well. They knew the flaters would refuse. Day 1 law school stuff.
You could pay them $50,000 to go and they would refuse.

The medieval moronicity extends to way past flat earth though.
@@rickkwitkoski1976 Don't insult the medieval times! They knew the earth was a globe!
They really need to take some remedial physics and understand how force vectors interact
In a sense that is what aircraft have to do to follow earth’s curvature. However it is so gradual that it’s almost imperceptible.
Older style gyroscopes are air-powered (still prevalent in small private airplanes). They include a mechanism with pendulous vanes, which are like small doors on a single hinge point, such that they align vertically with earth’s gravity.
When the gyro mechanism tilts, such that the _vanes_ are still aligned with gravity, but the _mechanism_ isn’t, small air ports become uncovered and a jet of air emits causing the mechanism to realign to the local direction of gravity, normal to earth’s surface.
Modern gyroscopes are ring-laser-gyros and operate off relativistic calculations of reflected light within a closed mechanism.
BTW you can estimate the angular rate of “nose dip” by assuming an aircraft circumnavigating the globe at a given speed.
A large airliner at 600 mph would traverse earth’s circumference (about 24,901 miles) in 41.5 hours. That means the nose comes full circle in 41.5 hrs … or 0.15 degrees a minute.
The reality is that this experiment has already been a huge success. All you have to do is watch which side is exploding and freaking out and which side is calm and laughing at the other. It shows exactly how confident both sides are in their ideas.

Yeah but what if? I mean, Friday the 13th was ONLY ten days ago!!
Well I guess if we aren't on a globe orbiting the sun then the Gregorian calendar is meaningless and any measurement of time is arbitrary so why can't the 13th and the 31st be on the same day? What even is a day? Why am I here? What is? 😳
The logic totally checks out 🤓🧐 It's all just a conspiracy guys, the government just wants us to think the laws that govern the universe make sense when actually we exist on a pizza crust inside a dome that's suspended in... Nothingness? The power to run the simulated night sky that's projected on the dome comes from nowhere because NASA lied to us about everything and even energy doesn't exist. Ya'll just need to wake up and stop believing everything you're told 🤪
What makes that worse is the 13th was a Sunday.
What a world we live in where the biggest grifters (or the stupidest people) get offered once in a life time opportunities most people would never get.
Or they become politicians, school board members, judges etc..
And grifters become president
Once and for all disproving we live in a meritocracy.
What a world we live in when so many random people can afford to buy other people tickets to Antarctica
But it isn't that hard to get to Antarctica. It is expensive, but most far away trips are. Like if I want to make a vacation in Japan from Europe is costs me a fortune, and not much less than going to Antarctica. But all those people going on long range flights or long cruises could also afford a trip to Antarctica. So it isn't really a once in a lifetime opportunity, however then again I don't know how much money you are going to make with flat earth grifts.

Anyway, it allows me to take a picture with a demonstrated eye level in it, horizontal at the device's centre, with other hills in the background. It'd work better with manual aperture and focus control, but i t worked well enough.
The simple version of using it is that from each of two peaks of similar altitude, like Carnedd Llewellyn and Scafell Pike or Black Hambleton and Greenhow Hill or Brown Clee Hill and a particular junction of stone walls on the east side of a particular hill in the Peak District, you can see the other below eye level.

Flat earthers all seem to have one thing in common, the inability to properly visualise things spatially. They would have all failed industrial arts classs at school where one has to look at an object and then draw it from different perspectives.
I had this same thought. Their problem is an inability of spatial visualization. And an inability to translate back and forth from words to visual imagery. That's why nobody can argue with them. You can't get them to even understand what you're saying.
I once had a female friend who couldn't look at a map and translate that to a knowledge of how to get somewhere. You had to give her instructions like, "Go down road X for two miles, then turn left after a green barn with a red roof. After a quarter mile, the road will fork off. Take the right fork.... etc." Forget about drawing her a map. She was utterly incapable of interpreting such a thing, even though, for most people, the map is far preferable to a linear verbal narrative, which often entails all kinds of ambiguities. She was quite intelligent otherwise. That's when I realized that some people must have a genetic inability to manipulate or even hold visual images in their minds.
A similar phenomenon is "face blindness," which is an inability to remember and recognize faces. Most humans are born with a specialized mental ability to do this. But some people (and there a lot more of them than you might expect) are completely unable to do this. You might have known them intimately for ten years, but they won't recognize you in the grocery store until you speak. At that point they'll probably recognize your voice.
There was a grocery store clerk in my neighborhood like that. I had many short conversations with her over the years, so she had to know who I was, but every time I would step up to the check-out counter, she would give me a blank look like she had never seen me before in her life. I thought that maybe she was just an unfriendly person until I saw a video about face blindness, and then I understood. Such people tend to compensate with things like remembering explicit verbal concepts like "Jenny has a pony-tail, is about 6 inches taller than me, etc. And voice recognition is another tool for them. Of course, that doesn't help until they speak. Their disability causes a lot of embarrassment for them in life, such as people being offended when they don't greet them in public, etc. People think, "Wow. She's giving me the cold shoulder," when it wasn't intentional at all.

I mean, if they're grifters, how the hell do you become a grifter? Especially such an arcane type of grifter? What do you think to yourself? They can't all be grifters - because a grifter wouldn't waste time watching all this tripe, and there are a lot of FE viewers. What are their thoughts like?

Exactly! If any of these morons *actually* believed the Earth was flat, they'd go on that free trip to Antartica instantly. Instantly.
With all the BS they spew about a global conspiracy, and how everyone who believes in the globe Earth are "sheep", and how there's a collective army made up of soliders from many nations guarding Antarctica to stop people going there to prevent people finding out the truth; anyone who truly believes the Earth is flat would absolutely *jump* at the chance to finally get one over on the "world government", and prove that NASA, the US government, that every astronomer and cosmologist was wrong and that they were correct all along.
The only reason that they'd refuse to go is because they already know that the Earth is an sphere, and they make good money from making BS flat Earth content. They also know that they'd no longer be able to peddle their flat Earth nonsense anymore if they go on a very publicised journey to Antarctica and have the flat Earth proven so clearly wrong. They'd be exposed to a much bigger audience than they ever were before with the Antarctica trip. An audience that would not relent in saying how much of a lying fraud they are with every single video or post they'd continue to make about flat Earth for years afterwards.

Pastor enters flat/globe Earth debate by offering to pay for the experiment all the flat earthers have been demanding for a decade.
Flat earthers: "DEMON!" 😂
I mean... yeah. If you believe the earth is flat because you're actually dedicated to reading the "word of god" as written instead of trying to pretend it fits reality at all, then the "pastors" who acquiesce to reality and say it's round are against the word of god.
I feel like I should feel badly for some of these people. Some of the clips here seem to be from people with mental issues.
@@michaelbauers8800 Especially the trumpets guy. That one made me a bit uncomfortable.
Some glover's came pretty close to calling him a demon too lol
The paranoia was off the charts
I'm not even surprised that the go-to move of this kind of people is to dehumanize their opponent, considering that their conspiracy theories are filled with n*zi dogwhistles
Imagine denying a FREE trip to Antarctica. The only continent I still haven’t visited.
Mr money bags over here.
@@DukeEllision329lol
I have a phobia of flying (shivering, paranoia of crashing, panic at every single perfectly normal bit of turbulence, tearing up/crying etc, eating a bunch of benadryl to sedate myself or make myself sleep, it's fucking pathetic 🤣) but I'd STILL get on a plane to freaking ANTARCTICA because holy shit that'd be amazing!

Lol this comment deserves a praise
This whole thing is driving me absolutely googledebunkers.
Eyy a Miniminuteman fan!
They flat on my Earth until i googledebunkers.
I definitely don’t have a Milo Rossi Googledebunkers hoodie. Definitely not.
Milo fan spotted.
Oh fellow Milo fan in the hooouse.
Googledebunkers gang rise up!
The fact that most flerfs started claiming a 24-hour sun in Antarctica works just fine on their imaginary dirt pizza *within days* of the announcement of TFE tells you everything you need to know. It's been a grift all along.
It literally makes sense 😂 that's what's crazy. Y'all are blinded by actual logic. If the sun circles the center it's gonna shine on that part of earth vs it being on the more outer side when the season changes up

I know it's important to make sure everyone knows that Nathan Oakley abuses his kids, but listening to that is super hard.
yeah I had to skip that, I couldn't listen to it.
i had no warning about it and it triggered my c-ptsd as a survivor of childhood abuse, i wish there was at least some kind of warning in the video idk if i can keep listening. i’d hope that someone on that stream called cps but i think it’s naive at this point.
@@S3lkie-Gutzman, not to be mean... But come on... Not everything has to be censored.
@@ismaelguzman991 They didn't say it needed to be censored, they said to have a warning so that people who can't, or even just don't want to, listen to that know that it's coming and can decide to not listen to it.
@@ismaelguzman991 wouldn't have hurt to throw up a 2 second warning beforehand...
I’d like to go 🙋🏼♀️ I’ll even pretend to believe the earth is flat!
I'm late at the party for the free trip joke, but I'll say this.
Those grifters don't believe in a flat earth, they never did, the mask's off.
Some of them actually do believe it.
@@great-wyrmII
So they'll go.
What do you get out of trying to thought police someone else?
@@Rizik1986It shows that they were all shills all along. They never actually believed the Earth is flat, because that idea is so preposterous it's been made fun of for centuries, nay, millennia. It's all just a grift to indoctrinate confused and dismissed people into an "in-group" that knows "The Truth™." It's the same thing with any deific religion. If you can demonize and ostracize an out-group to make the mentally feeble feel self important, then you can make a lot of money off of them. It's a tale as old as time.
@@Rizik1986
non sequitur
39:20 Very glad you included this clip of Oakley's blatant child abuse. That should be played every time his name comes up in a video.
David Weiss is an elder-abuser. In 2019 or 2020 he was in a nursing home, iirc, and there was a birthday party for a 101-year-old resident.
To my best recollection, Weiss saw her alone & talked to her, convincing her that she was taught the earth was flat as a child, then "they" started lying about it in the 1950s. He kept going until she was crying over being lied to most of her life. He kneeled beside her and took a selfie with a lizard like smile on his face. On her 101st birthday.
😟
Do you know the source for the David Weiss thing? Did he admit this himself in a stream or what?
@@Megaritz I saw it live and have a copy of it somewhere, but I'm not sure where it is. So at this point it is "according to what THIS guy says" and can't be confirmed without that footage.
So no, I don't know where the footage is in my many external disks, but I hope someone else might have that footage closer on hand and post it.
that was a disturbing recording. If youtube get to know about it Prof Dave could get a strike or have the video deleted.
@@LPCLASSICAL That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.
Nathan Oakley says "You wanna know why I won't go down to Antarctica". Why would a flat earther say "go down to" if they believe it's an ice wall surrounding a flat plane?
I can imagine that even for dedicated and true flat earthers, it's quite ingrained to say stuff like "go down to" or similar since pretty much everyone else says it.
It's a fair question why they don’t just suggest traveling to Antarctica from their own city instead of accepting traveling all the way "down" to South America first.
could just be ingrained speech, i used to live up from a store on a hill but now i live down from it on a hill, i still say "lets go down to the store" just cause its what id been saying for over half my life
good observation tho, i think the little intricacies of how a person talks are pretty interesting depending on their field of work or study or (what to call this... ah!) agenda
I think this was the totally wrong move. Instead of financing a holiday trip, we should help them getting medical treatment. I know the American health system is worse than the idea of a flat-earth, so lets provide them access to a professional psychiatric hospital and the absolutely needed medication for some months. This would be much more ethical from a humanistic perspective, as all of that nonsense is only about making money and content ... while harming other gullible people in the process (which is in some cases a criminal act ... so that is another thing).
In my country, uttering such nonsense in public will get you the attention of the public prosecutor, who is able to order a psychological evaluation and if you are a danger to yourself and others. If needed, you will get the help needed. Royalty free!
I also ask you to think about the perception of Germans and their take on humor. Most of it is stereotypical and not true. Anyways, I wish a good journey and some cold "Eisbock" (Eisbock is a beer specialty in which water is removed from the finished beer by freezing). Have a good one, friends!:)
OBVIOUSLY because the antarctic ice wall is lower than other land masses. If it was taller, it would hold a deeper ocean and everyone would drown. Right?
That audio of Nathan Oakley hitting his kid genuinely upset me. Like, how low can you go?
Government nasa jew penguin here. love your work, dave.
Can I call you JPEG?
@@blahblingo7605 hell yeah you can
Why did you biuld that dome?
The part where the bloke rejected the explanation of metre/kilometre conversion absolutely SLAYED me. 😂😂
@@JohnGardnerAlhadis Nathan Oakley is the most stupid and arrogant ignoramus flat earth grifter on TH-cam. His grasp of reality is astounding. His understanding of maths and physics is unbounded!
a flat earth believer once told me that gravity doesnt affect gas molecules. that coupled with their failure at converting basic units that any middle schoolers are capable of doing on top of their unfamiliarity with clockwise, give off the impression that they didnt receive public education and left to stale intellectually with home "schooling"
@@stevenleonard7219 "His understanding of maths and physics is unbounded!" Actually it's bounded above by zero.
There’s a surprising amount of Daves involved in the world shape debate
Lot of Brians and Nathans too.
The Nathans surprised me until I realised that many of them would have originally been "Jonathan". Dave and Brian are everywhere, speaking as a Dave myself I wasn't remotely surprised.
"These are the Daves I know" by The Kids in the Hall comes to mind. A fresh take on that song might be needed...
It's a plurality alright.
I guess the Daves are just destined to debate the world shape
This TFE was just fun to watch. Seeing flerfs repeat the same lines like they are Ron Hubbard students and all around loosing their small minds was just comedy gold. It’s awesome that their borrowed globe projection map is thoroughly debunked as being the shape of the planet.
Will Duffy, thank you.
Free trip to Antarctica? I'll be happy to go down there. Penguins have better brains than they do and are way more fun to be around.
you know what? maybe i am a flat earther, after all! 🤩
I WANNA SEE A WILD PENGUIN SO BBAAAAADDDD
I'm something of a flat earther myself
I heard penguins can be a little mean... either way you don't wanna be bitten by one! So still funner than a flat earther.
Ew...birds. I'm scared of birds. By all means you go down there and sit in the middle of the penguins and tell me all about it when you get back. I'm sure it'll be a magical and life-changing experience! Now if it was a continent full of puppies I'd be down in a heartbeat.
Hey Dave, thanks for calling out that Dubay is a fan of the mustache man. I honestly found it really disheartening that an open history denier like Witsit is getting so much money to learn nothing when my ex can’t even get money for school supplies for her classroom. I hope sees this for the opportunity it is, truly. I’m a storm chaser, even a fraction of the amount of money he’s getting could jump start my tiny little weather education channel. I’m annoyed by all this, but glad that at least someone is willing to call some of these flerfs for their hateful beliefs.
Pretty much all those groups flatearth, chemtrails, viruses don't exist, all have a root of "they" and you guessed it, it's "those people" some frail males in khakis with torches were whining about.
Don't feel too bad about it, in the long run this is going to put a big hit on a lot of these flerfs income as I do think this will change a significant amount of flerfs mind and stop watching these people. My worry is that they'll start spewwing other garbage like geocentrism, anti Vax, creationism etc
I feel your frustration!
@@joshii4537 That's the dangerous bit. Once you've adjusted your mind enough to believe that "they" are masterminding a big vague conspiracy about something that huge, you're nice and ready to believe the stuff about 9/11 being an inside job, anti-vax wibble, and Trumplican election denial.
A pilot youtuber called 74 Gear have offered to pilot a plane for free over one of the poles if flerfers just charter a plane. He'd take all that wanted to come on the plane. Weirdly enough it was very little interest in the offer among the flat earth community.
Especially given the large amount of self proclaimed millionaire flerfs. 🤣🤣
Depending on the plane, they could also open the little window and look directly outside, beating one of their excuses where the windows on planes distort light and make the world look rounder LMAO
A common excuse I've seen flat earthers give for why that wouldn't work is that all the windows on a plane are actually just screens broadcasting a fake view of the outside lmao
@@blankii333 nah, then theyd just claim the whole plane is suspended inside a giant projection chamber with fake wind and fake clouds, or some other equally insane idea
Yep and noone took Kelsey up on it...
Everyone with a phone has an object in their pocket that relies on the earth being round actually.
