Is the Earth flat or spheroid?

[Hatuey]

Another hard hitting question from Hatuey here that is sure to ruffle a few feathers.

With the rise of a new flat earth movement, I think it is important to establish where members of Debate Politics stand. What say ye good folks of DP?

Do you subscribe to the idea that the Earth is flat? Do you subscribe to the spheroidal descriptions?

It's flat from my personal observations

 

[Lycanthrope]

I take a dump every morning without fail.

The sun rises in the east every morning.

Therefore, based on my personal observations, the sun's movement is tied to my own.

 

[Argent]

It depends on one's perspective

 

[antiquity]

The earth is actually slightly elongated, closer to an ellipsoid.

It's a cube.

Oblate spheroid.

If the earth were flat, cats would have knocked everything off it by now.

Not if its infinitely flat

When I want to laugh, I watch videos of flat earthers getting debunked. Like this guy:

Flat earthers
Anti-science
The scopes monkey trials settled nothing for them.
Those poorly educated low IQ trump voters

People sail around the earth constantly. Why don't they fall off the edge.

How many here fish far offshore? On the return to land Why does that lighthouse slowly appear from the horizon?

 

[Demon]

If it's flat, what's on the other side?

 

[Loulit01]

If it's flat, what's on the other side?

An elephant standing on a tortoise.

 

[Loulit01]

Not if its infinitely flat

You underestimate cats.

This poll is “proof” that our community has a strong anti-flat earth bias.

I went down this rabbit hole for a bit. It's fun.

Yeah, no.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Yeah, no.

Continue to disrespect my truth and I'll eat so much Taco Bell that I generate yooge solar flares, thus disrupting your internet service.

Flat earth has always worked for me. Three minutes of round earth leaves me giddy. Below are our only legit round earth practitioners. The rest only talk the round earth talk.

Of course, there's the old flat earthers, and then there's modern physics...

Could Our Universe Be 2-Dimensional? Black Holes Offer A Clue

When you throw something into a black hole, its information seems to disappear. This may be a hint that black holes, as well as our entire universe, is 2-dimensional.

It’s elongated east-west I believe. That is caused by its rotation.

There's no edge. Just like the universe has no edge

I don't fish
