I’m sure there are many flat earthers who wish the more stupid ones would stop making them all laughing stocks. I’m minded of the best loony yet putting some earth in an oven baking tray and pouring in water to prove the earth is flat. It would be more believable if there was one explanation for how the Earth works as a whole, not how separate things like night and day, seasons, tides, eclipses, horizons, sun, moon, solar system, atmosphere, vacuums, stars, gravity, centrifugal force, tilt, turn, orbit, satellites work. Seems each has an explanation that interferes with all or some of the other factors. Whereas of course everything falls neatly into place if you accept the Earth is a tilted oblate spheroid orbiting the Sun 😂😂 Flat Earth is NOT a FACT, it’s not even a theory since there’s no agreed concept, just a series of tossers making up their own pet ideas.

Dunning Kruger paper had nothing to do with the "Dunning Kruger effect". The "Dunning Kruger effect" is a "phenomenon" formed from someone who "Dunning Kruger-ed" Dunning-Krugers original paper. So everyone using "Dunning Kruger" as a thing is secret club member.

I missed how he gets from "Earth's orbit traces out a 'C' over 6 months" to "we should see the sun trace out a 'C' in the sky". The moon also (relative to Earth) traces out a "C" roughly every two weeks, but Earth is nearly stationary in the lunar sky. -I think it wobbles around a little-

I have just critically considered Mikey's wonderful explanation of how our world works, and until now, never realized that the Sun actually orbited the Earth somewhere outside the mythical ice wall. He obviously never critically thought about that.
It's not just Mikey. It's flerfs in general. They mostly try to poke holes in the heliocentric reality, because they know they can't explain one thing about the flat earth without contradicting something else.

@@johnhiggs325 oh god, here I go ranting again… …basically 50% of the human kind proves it daily. Below average thinkers ask stupid and mundane questions. ”there are no stupid questions” is just another Santa Claus for kids to stay curious and feel good about themselves. God forbid we told actual facts to kids instead of filling them with myths, stories and legends when they are at their crucial years of building a view of the world. My head was about to explode when I tried to understand how can god creating the universe and world in a single week and billions of years of cosmological evolution be true at the same time. Big Bang and Magical creation? I was presented with the classic personified god standing there, doing magic tricks so it wasn’t even of any of that Spinoza’s god stuff or such. I never bought the biblical story and felt like a liar for some time until I noticed that nobody else took it serious here either. Then I simultaneously realized everyone around me are liars. I live in Scandinavia so this might offer some perspective to the Christianity and seriousness of the practice. I was a kid in nineties.
Mikey: Says that if the Earth were rotating around the sun, we would see the sun make a C shape. Also Mikey: 5:06 proceeds to draw the movement of the sun in a C shape
It's the perfect flerf strategy, though. If they sit there and argue with you about the semantics, they don't have to confront any actual facts. And when you walk away from the conversation because they're behaving like a petulant child, they can tell their flerf friends about how they totally owned a glober.
I love how, despite my best efforts, I could not find any mention of this guy or his channel at all, and every effort to do so just kept bringing me back to SciManDan.
Love this channel! What kills me is they all have a different picture to "try " to explain day and night. Don't even ask them about seasons. Not one of these folks is a Pilot, in Navigation, Science, Engineering. Just folks that sit home and come up with ideas. School is essential! Words matter. I can't.. I just can't .... Good luck Sci Man Dan.
It boggles the mind how they can get something soooo simple soooo wrong. I honestly don't have words for it, i remember understanding this as a young child. I struggle to understand what he is trying to say because its so ludicrous, hurts my brain.
english is screwed up... we have sun, son none, nun, why not sone, but there is one and won so why isnt none like nwun or swun or swon but one could be own cuz there is bone and not bun or bown but there is blown but blone isnt blun..... now could you imagine Mikey trying to let this filter thru his head?
I immediately went to the "what about the Southern Hemisphere?" question - but you covered it!! Thanks for all your work on combating these folks' delusions!
My very first thought was "how does he explain people in the southern hemisphere seeing the sun in the north" glad I'm not the only one thinking like that
It’s worse than that though as just now for example the sun rises just south of east and sets just south of west in Sydney although it is getting closer and closer to rising and setting East and West every day now. How you can make this work on a flat earth with its vanishing distance for objects and a close sun that isn’t changing in size throughout the day I don’t know.
4:50 No? We don't see a horizontal "c" shape as the sun, because we aren't on a 2D plane. We see things in 3 dimensions. We can see both above, and below our "horizontal view line?" (Ooof. Dan owes me a big "Got'em")
Interesting that when challenged to "explain" one of their weird beliefs, you are likely to be given a link to a Dubay vid that doubtless served to recruit the flattard, but which has (as usual) nothing sensible or defensible therein. Despite exhorting us to "think for ourselves", they invariably demonstrate their own inability to do so, preferring instead to parrot the shite sold to them by their FE priests. The flattard "Flat Earth" is a prime example of this.
I love his mic drop moment when he throws the pen down and tells people to critically think because that's what he does. Lol. Imagine what it must be like to be that stupid.
I can’t. I cannot comprehend þat level of ignorance. I’m sure as a child þere was, but I don’t remember a time when I couldn’t understand something þat simple. I’m pretty sure he isn’t þat ignorant himself. I mean, fairly ignorant to be sure, but not ÞAT ignorant. I just þink he wants Dan to make him famous. Þen again, in þat last one he was pretty passionate about it… maybe he is a complete moron. 😂
The nitpicker in me was ready to interject that the orbit is not really a circle, more like an ellipse... and even then it doesn't reach the old location, it's like a "flowery" spiral. :-B
Mikey really needs to try to model this in three dimensions. I recall seeing a small model of the Sun, Earth and Moon that used a chain driven gear arrangement to move the Earth around the Sun, rotate the Earth on its axis, and move the Moon around the Earth while keeping its one side facing the Earth. And it wasn't that complex a mechanism!
This guy's right though, the ability to ask questions is important. Equally important is the ability to rationally answer those questions, and that's where he seems to struggle.
its a factless fact, love how aggressive he is and big himself up because he can critically think and know what a half his. I am sure his nursery school teachers are very proud, well done Mikey
It's not so much the peeing in public that I have a problem with, if you really gotta go and there's no toilet available, you've really gotta go. It's that he actually filmed himself doing it and posted it on youtube...

I mean I'm no stranger to peeing at the side of the road, but firstly I ensure I'm as out of sight as possible, and secondly...I don't record myself doing it and put it online 😂 FML
Most men have pissed in public sometime in their life. But yeah, the smart ones don’t record it for TH-cam.
Roadtrips were built around pissing in the ditch or behind a tree
@@YomommasStankPoon If he farted as well, it would enable us to conclude that Mikey is all piss and wind.
@@YomommasStankPoon He's just trolling us all and giving us a hint by literally "Taking the piss".
The fact he tried to use a geocentric model to prove his point is absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂
You mean heliocentric? Or i misunderstood your comment
Both earths are globes. He just don't know.
I kind of feel bad for him. Debunking him feels like kicking a puppy.
Because mentally speaking that’s exactly what is happening.
sacrifices have to be made to preserve the herd.
A stupid puppy
A retarded puppy.
If the puppy has rabies and is a danger to the collective good, one has to do what seems harsh.
The first rule of the Dunning Kruger Club is you don't know you're a member.😂
Dunning Kruger paper had nothing to do with the "Dunning Kruger effect". The "Dunning Kruger effect" is a "phenomenon" formed from someone who "Dunning Kruger-ed" Dunning-Krugers original paper. So everyone using "Dunning Kruger" as a thing is secret club member.
@@ExistenceUniversity what are you even on about? Who exactly do you think brought up the subject of the DK paper?! o.O Also, are you saying that phenomenon was not part of (or described in) the DK paper/study? :-?
@@irrelevant_noob Yes, I am stating that the Original paper has nothing to do with the "Dunning Kruger effect". A pop science writer misunderstood the paper and invented the Dunning Kruger effect based on there work, but they work did not reflect that phenomenon. The "Dunning Kruger effect" is a Dunning Kruger effect caused by too much confidence and too much ignorance about the original Dunning and Kruger paper. It's actual quite interesting to say the least lol
@@irrelevant_noob th-cam.com/video/kcfRe15I47I/w-d-xo.html
@@ExistenceUniversity well, it might not have been CALLING it "the DK effect" just yet, that term likely came out later. But it still described an effect, that is today called the DK effect.
The DK effect itself is so notable that it has its own wikipedia article. The DESCRIPTIONS are what you seem to be against, not the existence of the effect itself... (even though alan did not provide any specific description that you could contest.)
And to address the video you mentioned ( kcfRe15I47I ), it's got a mistake at 5:27 ;-) Also at 5:58 it says there is even some evidence for the description that you're against, although maybe that might be a "Dunning-Sanchez" effect. ^^
5:26, "For those of you who don't know how to split things in half..."
Ah, that's his target audience. It all makes sense now.
I felt some of my brain cells dying as he spoke
So Mikey says this yearly process is not what we see in 24 hours, well done Mikey (very slow clap 👏)
I missed how he gets from "Earth's orbit traces out a 'C' over 6 months" to "we should see the sun trace out a 'C' in the sky". The moon also (relative to Earth) traces out a "C" roughly every two weeks, but Earth is nearly stationary in the lunar sky. -I think it wobbles around a little-
If Dan played a Dog barking for 10 minutes it would make more sense than Mikey.
It was torture.
Sorry, I've got to stick up for them. They're extremely loyal and very intelligent................dogs that is.
Woof!
Woof.woof!
Nah, depends on the dog! 🤣🤣
@@antondovydaitis2261 woof woof bow wow, etc.
Did he actually prove that what we've been told to be HALF A YEAR on globe earth is actually ONE DAY on flat earth? What a genius.
Mikey's better at drawing circles than he is at understanding.
True, and he can't even draw a very good circle.
now that is a burn ;)
Mikey should try his hand at spherical trigonometry.
Yeesh.
No joke a couple of those half circles were looking pretty alright for a freehand scribble, it falls flat after that though.
I like that he starts to say "high school" but corrects himself to just "school".
Wonder why he did that?
Because we were taught a simplified form of the heliocentric model back in elementary school. (sigh)
I have a hunch that the only "high" he could associate with school is getting it while being there.
If someone were to ask me what I thought of flat Earth. My answer would be: "I really enjoy Terry Pratchett's work. My favourite books from his Discworld series are 'Nightwatch' and 'Hogfather'."
Turtles all the way down ....🥰
I fear for the day a flerf finds the Discworld novels and tries to explain them away as fact, like christians do with the bible.
@@jollybodger Shush don't give them that idea. Heavens above Terry would laugh his head off. Miss him and his works so much. I can't believe he's been gone nearly 8 years now. I cried on and off all the day he died, on my birthday saddest birthday yet.
once upon a time ago - there was a place called MENTAL INSTITUTIONS !! ,... he's proof we need to reestablish those places !!
I have just critically considered Mikey's wonderful explanation of how our world works, and until now, never realized that the Sun actually orbited the Earth somewhere outside the mythical ice wall. He obviously never critically thought about that.
Flerfs can only explain one thing at a time. When you put multiple together they clash and fall apart.
It's not just Mikey. It's flerfs in general. They mostly try to poke holes in the heliocentric reality, because they know they can't explain one thing about the flat earth without contradicting something else.
@@TheModdedwarfare3 they literally can't make a single model of flat earth work because every explaination interferes with eachother
@Artizzy 2k2k on top of that, they're also just too lazy to try. So instead, they'll try to bully people into accepting without question because it boost their egos.
Flerfiness doesn't need to make sense or even be consistent.
All you need is belief and a room temperature IQ.
"Remember to critically think, folks!" Good one Mikey! 🤣
"Remember to critically think and ask questions, if you know how to do that."
There is such a soul crushing lack of self awareness, it caused my physical pain.
It's either a lack of self-awareness or one of the best trolls of all time. Hard to tell which.
@@SupComRaiden2 That did occur to me, too. I'm not totally convinced that he isn't a Poe. But the more I see of his material, the more I think he's just that stupid.
@@seraphinaaizen6278 Possibly, it's really hard to tell.
You see, critical thinking is great until you start to think about how flat earth claims don’t work, then you’re automatically converted from critical thinker to NASA shill.
@@SupComRaiden2 I highly doubt he's not serious with what he does and say.
I been subbed for a long time, and I hope you hit the goal. Thank you for the great content! I hope this helps you get there.
Mikey may piss in public, but at least he doesn't drink it... unlike some people.
That is about the best compliment I can offer him.
There's no evidence to suggest he doesn't.
Willing to bet if Dan said not to drink piss, Mikey would do it just to spite Dan xD
@@mrpositronia That's the thing, there's no evidence he does either. Just the supposition that "he must be because other's as close to his level of stupid has been confirmed to".
This observation is a good start but not enough for confirming it.)
Lmao He's obviously autistic.
@@guytheincognito4186 we live in a world were evidence is moot now.
The amount of times you said "theory" near the end just warms my heart
6:30 This diagram is hilarious. One end of the diagram: "Rises," the other end, "West." Makes perfect sense!
Flat earther dies and when he meets god he asks
“God is the earth flat?”
God- “no my child the earth is a sphere”
Flat earther - “wow…..this conspiracy goes deeper than I thought”
I love that he, and I wonder if he realized it at the time, portrayed himself as a "jackass." If he didn't, it would be so hilarious because it is just. so fitting.
Lol 😂 great point bro
He definitely didn't notice it, and now it's a hilarious thing to witness.
I love how happy he sounds with his explanation hahaha as if he's finally proven it
No Mikey, no.
Slam dunk! Nailed it! Perfect argument!!😂😂
Ignorance is bliss.
it was that simple
I feel so bad that Mikey actually does ask questions but genuinely can't understand the answers.
“There are No Stupid Questions” is a lie and Mike prove it constantly.
@@johnhiggs325 oh god, here I go ranting again…
…basically 50% of the human kind proves it daily. Below average thinkers ask stupid and mundane questions. ”there are no stupid questions” is just another Santa Claus for kids to stay curious and feel good about themselves. God forbid we told actual facts to kids instead of filling them with myths, stories and legends when they are at their crucial years of building a view of the world. My head was about to explode when I tried to understand how can god creating the universe and world in a single week and billions of years of cosmological evolution be true at the same time. Big Bang and Magical creation? I was presented with the classic personified god standing there, doing magic tricks so it wasn’t even of any of that Spinoza’s god stuff or such. I never bought the biblical story and felt like a liar for some time until I noticed that nobody else took it serious here either. Then I simultaneously realized everyone around me are liars. I live in Scandinavia so this might offer some perspective to the Christianity and seriousness of the practice. I was a kid in nineties.
When someone who is asleep tells us to wake up, I adore it.
Mikey: Says that if the Earth were rotating around the sun, we would see the sun make a C shape.
Also Mikey: 5:06 proceeds to draw the movement of the sun in a C shape
well, he obviously can't see it, because it is a mirrored C - flatters can't bend their minds in such ways! LOL
Wow! Look at Mikey growing up. He can almost draw already!
To be fair his drawing skill is about on par with his cognitive reasoning skill. I wonder if he has developed object permanence yet.
Awesome. I'm amazed he can manage to sit and breath at the same time.
That must be why he had to lie down 😂
holy cow sci-man, almost half a million. i remember when it was the push to 10k!!!! congrats my man, what a journey.
"So you want to discuss your flat earth theory..." - "IT'S NOT A THEORY!!1eleven" - "I'm sorry, your flat earth delusion, then...."
It's the perfect flerf strategy, though. If they sit there and argue with you about the semantics, they don't have to confront any actual facts. And when you walk away from the conversation because they're behaving like a petulant child, they can tell their flerf friends about how they totally owned a glober.
man the sun is hotter than i though.... 200 degrees? jeez 🤣
Well I just repeated his hi IQ research, and the sun is -6°C today, I have emailed NASA with this scary information 🤣

I love how, despite my best efforts, I could not find any mention of this guy or his channel at all, and every effort to do so just kept bringing me back to SciManDan.
Millennia of great thinkers and Mikey comes along to prove them all wrong. Impressive
He's right in one thing. Flat Earth isn't a theory. It's barely a hypothesis. 😂
I'm still trying to figure out how/why he was comparing a yearly rotation to a daily rotation.
Love this channel! What kills me is they all have a different picture to "try " to explain day and night. Don't even ask them about seasons. Not one of these folks is a Pilot, in Navigation, Science, Engineering. Just folks that sit home and come up with ideas. School is essential! Words matter. I can't.. I just can't .... Good luck Sci Man Dan.
It boggles the mind how they can get something soooo simple soooo wrong. I honestly don't have words for it, i remember understanding this as a young child. I struggle to understand what he is trying to say because its so ludicrous, hurts my brain.
At least he spelt ‘sun’ correctly.
But failed at the pronunciation..1 out 2 is actually pretty good?
english is screwed up... we have sun, son none, nun, why not sone, but there is one and won so why isnt none like nwun or swun or swon but one could be own cuz there is bone and not bun or bown but there is blown but blone isnt blun..... now could you imagine Mikey trying to let this filter thru his head?
Classic :)
@@bunnykiller through. Thorough. Though. Tough. Thought. Cough. Drought.
@@mo0kthechef And hiccough.
Funny how he said “don’t bring your belief into my world” lol.
I immediately went to the "what about the Southern Hemisphere?" question - but you covered it!! Thanks for all your work on combating these folks' delusions!
"We don't see a C shape, what we actually see is a C shape." Lol!
He LITERALLY made an ass out of himself.
I can only watch a few of these before I have to throw myself through the window
My very first thought was "how does he explain people in the southern hemisphere seeing the sun in the north" glad I'm not the only one thinking like that
It’s worse than that though as just now for example the sun rises just south of east and sets just south of west in Sydney although it is getting closer and closer to rising and setting East and West every day now.
How you can make this work on a flat earth with its vanishing distance for objects and a close sun that isn’t changing in size throughout the day I don’t know.
4:50 No? We don't see a horizontal "c" shape as the sun, because we aren't on a 2D plane. We see things in 3 dimensions. We can see both above, and below our "horizontal view line?" (Ooof. Dan owes me a big "Got'em")
"The flerfs" Never fail to make us laugh, comedy gold every time 🤣😂🤣😂
Interesting that when challenged to "explain" one of their weird beliefs, you are likely to be given a link to a Dubay vid that doubtless served to recruit the flattard, but which has (as usual) nothing sensible or defensible therein. Despite exhorting us to "think for ourselves", they invariably demonstrate their own inability to do so, preferring instead to parrot the shite sold to them by their FE priests. The flattard "Flat Earth" is a prime example of this.
I love his mic drop moment when he throws the pen down and tells people to critically think because that's what he does. Lol. Imagine what it must be like to be that stupid.
I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard.
I don’t think even with my vivid imagination I can imagine how this man redefines stupid.
I can’t. I cannot comprehend þat level of ignorance. I’m sure as a child þere was, but I don’t remember a time when I couldn’t understand something þat simple. I’m pretty sure he isn’t þat ignorant himself. I mean, fairly ignorant to be sure, but not ÞAT ignorant. I just þink he wants Dan to make him famous.
Þen again, in þat last one he was pretty passionate about it… maybe he is a complete moron. 😂
"Imagine what it must be like to be that stupid." ??
No need to imagine.
Mickey has given up a GREAT example...
As I said in an earlier reply ... if he had a second brain it would be lonely
Just watching him try to draw a circle says a lot
The nitpicker in me was ready to interject that the orbit is not really a circle, more like an ellipse... and even then it doesn't reach the old location, it's like a "flowery" spiral. :-B
Yea i thought the same. Then i saw the laptop and wondered how he is coming about enough money to pay for it....
i mean hes holding the camera in his other hand but i could still do better.
@@URAGOOFUS Meaning he's so unconvinced of his own theories that he's unwilling to spend $5 to buy a stand to prop the camera in.
@@darrennew8211 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Remember to critically think" Man's measuring the Sun's temperature with a laser thermometer XD
Great video, I’m amazed how you find these people, poor Mickey, he seems so critically thinking confused
Mikey really needs to try to model this in three dimensions.
I recall seeing a small model of the Sun, Earth and Moon that used a chain driven gear arrangement to move the Earth around the Sun, rotate the Earth on its axis, and move the Moon around the Earth while keeping its one side facing the Earth. And it wasn't that complex a mechanism!
Mikey's professional scale diagrams are proof enough of his grasp on reality.
This one is actually sad to me. Poor guy is just so messed up.
He is an excellent example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
This guy's right though, the ability to ask questions is important. Equally important is the ability to rationally answer those questions, and that's where he seems to struggle.
its a factless fact, love how aggressive he is and big himself up because he can critically think and know what a half his. I am sure his nursery school teachers are very proud, well done Mikey
I'm so confused, are you a flat earther or not?
It's not so much the peeing in public that I have a problem with, if you really gotta go and there's no toilet available, you've really gotta go. It's that he actually filmed himself doing it and posted it on youtube...
Luckily the density of his urine took it towards the ground, and not upwards in his face!
Reality TV is not always pretty.
Keep on rockin in real world Dan! I’m happy for you that these fools are steady giving you income. Great content!
i love the amount of confidence in his wrong answers.
yeah, he could be a socialist
I love the confidence of the guy, at least if you gonna fail do it with gusto.
I have to say, I do like how Mikey appropriately depicts himself as a talking jack-ass.
the way he was measuring the temperature of the sun made him seem like a top level comedian
Y'know, I've been on this earth for 68 years, and it has never once occurred to me to film myself while peeing.
For such a young boy (4), that first person you argued against, sure had a deep voice. I am sure he will understand logic when he grows up.
I had a stressful day. Watching this video and reading the funny comments from you guys really helped. Great community here! Flat earther have their place as comedic relief.
Got a head injury years ago and have been instructed by the neurologists I've had over the years to draw basic things like circles and Cs countless times. Everytime this guy drew one it would have caught the interest of any neurologist watching it.
He seriously does show signs of mental illness. And I am not saying that to put him or anyone down.
Good smile here,will be sending that poor man a hug🫂
I never thought of trying to start a social revolution while sitting in my bed. I would at least get up and set up a background!
