Flat earth confirmed

That doesn't mean it's flat.
That means it's level. You could find a level point on a baseball, too, if you balanced the level on it.
TIL baseballs are flat.

We need to pump it back up. Is earth presta or schrader?
My pump does both so we should be ok

Korhaka, we're gonna need your pump

Korhaka, we're gonna need your pump
Can we at least rinse it first?

That... would show the same result.
So when will you all just accept the science then?
-
No, that just proves it's leveled.
Now you're just splitting hairs. Bad faith argument.

Now take that level on an airplane BOOM more confirmed.
That is usually one of the main proofs that earth is flat. The pilot doesn't have to keep lowering the plane in order not to fly higher, the fly completely level, yet the plane flies in a curve around the earth.

What is that abomination and how does it work
how does it work?
It doesn't.

Well it's not carbonated

It doesn't.
Do you know, I think it might. If the ball is weighted on the bottom, it will still sit at a slight angle, if the surface it sits on is at an angle. And being spherical, it can then detect slopes in any direction.

San Pellegrino Italy, Gerolsteiner Germany, Vichy Catalan Spain and Manitou Springs United States of America want to know if you're on the level.

Flat earthers have no sense of scale.

you jest but the model to be used is the simplest model that works in practice (to make useful predictions). Since most use-cases are machine building and construction, the curvature of the earth rarely matters. as such, "the earth is flat" is often the best model for a task. a spherical earth only really matters if you're dealing with either world-wide trade, geopolitics, or astronomy.

....but it has to go like nuts to stop falling out of the sky ?

This is just silly. It just means the earth is flat there. You need to repeat this everywhere on the earth and then we'll know the whole earth is flat. Or at least do it in a few different places hundreds of miles apart.
Well if you averaged out the distance from the centre of the Earth over the whole world - it would be absolutely flat....

I think one would still believe in gravity, just not the same way as normal people. It would have to be a constant field "downward" rather than masses attracting.
Planes can obviously go fast enough to counteract gravity...

How do you tell how big it is? There's no size reference at all.

It can show you if there is a slope, maybe. If it is properly weighted then it wouldn't even do that.
