Down in the valley
The valley so low
Hang your head oooooover
Hear the wind blow

Speaking of flat. I been trying to work out a bit and actually have lost 34 pounds since Janurary! Proud of that!

But, back to speaking of flat..... I decided to check out my abs and see how "toned" they were getting. So I raised up my shirt and a Cheeto fell out. So, there's that.

Don't leave us in suspense. Answer the important question you left hanging: Did you eat it?

A different view of this:

People say "sunrise" and "sunset," They do so in error, but they have been taught this since childhood. So, it is understandable that people do.

Truth is: the earth revolves around the sun, and, as such, the sun can not rise or set. The earths rotation causes us to experience "daybreak" and "nightfall."

How does thi apply to the "flat earth" thingy? To believe there is a "sunrise, sunset," one would have to believe the earth was in fact FLAT, and that the sun actually does revolve around the "flat earth."

So, remember, IF you say sunrise or sunset, you are lending credence to the "flat earth" theory!

I refuse to answer that question without Legal Counsel present!

FE like to use their "powers" of observation.

Please explain how the stars in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counter-clockwise and the stars in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. This is a simple and indisputable observation which the FE model cannot explain.

The Earth is a globe that rotates in space.
Observation easily explained

70% of the earth 🌎 is water...
and, virtually none of it is carbonated..
so, the earth, in fact, IS flat! 🤭😅

So that's what it is. I always felt like the earth could use a little spicing up, but I never could put my finger on it.

No I'm not. It's just a heck of a lot easier than saying, "Yeah, our part of the earth is now facing the sun."

Wait, I missed this back in August?

If this were true, flat earth theory would be a LOT more popular. Everybody and his mother's best friend's cousin twice removed says sunrise and sunset. Why do more people not believe fe theory?

Obiously it is the perception of man for we watch the sun rise, move across the circle of the earth, and then set for the night.

Most know it is the earth's rotation affecting this effect, however it suits all to continue with perception. Mhy mention of the circle of the earth is from the Bible.
