Flat Earthers confused by a table?

The table trick is only useful for one thing. It demonstrates whoever does it KNOWS they are lying.

Flat planes cannot hide objects. Imagine getting to adulthood and still thinking that nothing can hide something. This is basic physics that we understand by the age of 3.

I know a flat earther who, on one occasion, called me a liar when I said that when flying over the ocean or just a flat area that you can see the gentle curve of the earth. When I asked him where he's flown before he said "Oh, I haven't flown anywhere. I've never been on a plane". The cognitive dissonance.

I don't think flat earthers will ever come round.

TIL: never argue with a photographer about camera-based optical phenomena

Flat Earthers don’t understand a lot of things. So a table stumping them? Doesn’t shock me. lol

I still don't understand how flat earthers believe that NASA spends billions to "hide the truth" but won't spend like 30million to assinate every flat earther

Why is the camera even at table level? On their flat Earth it would still need to work when viewed at every height ABOVE sea level. Because in reality, whatever height you are at, things disappear over the horizon bottom first. This "experiment" seems to suggest that they are only seeing things disappear bottom first when their eyes are at sea level? Whatever the observer's height (in the real world), things still disappear over the horizon, and still go bottom first. They need a demo with their camera at every single height to show what happens in reality. I'm not holding my breath for that experiment !

You turned the table on them.

They have actually gone to a lot of work to pretend the camera is level with the table. That suggests they know that what they are doing really is a con.

FLERFS: We can disproove globe by using optics! Optics: Exist FLERFS: That's CGI!!!

My co worker is a flerf. I prove him wrong with so many scientific points but he doesn’t comprehend any of it and says I’m the idiot/ close minded one. Ive never been around someone so stupid

Being wrong is not only human, it's how we learn. But a flat earther is so wrong, they are wrongerer.

Basically, these fools have never stuck their hand between their eyes and noticed that they can "see through" it on either side.

A CG artist would never make the “mistake” with the ISS window that he claims proves the footage was cgi. Only a camera lens could fuck that up

Literally EVERY flat earth experiment is like a "tribute" to the fact they don't understand what they are doing: Because the more they understand, the more it threatens the belief. And in the threads, that's ALL they try to assert: "We do, and you don't, so we're right". But their "evidence" never withstands any examination. That's why people who know this win EVERY single exchange with them. Its truly fascinating, watching them 🤡themselves.

Classic example of flat earthers adjusting their test method to get the result they want. And then closing their eyes and putting fingers in there ears when it's debunked.

Kind of insane how they do not appreciate that it is problematic if you cannot also recreate this behaviour from a higher vantage point. We don't need to get down so low that water is entering our noses, in order to see a ship disappear bottom first.

Sees proof of actual optical lenses in use. "Is this CGI?"
