Can't argue with that logic

Yo I think I gotta add this to my D&D campaign setting

I’m sure they have some explanation for it but wouldn’t a ship need to rise before disappearing over one of these water mountains instead of just getting smaller and vanishing like reality. Or is this just a really shallow but super wide ‘mountain’ so the increased height is too low to really notice? Or is this like a water cliff and they just fall off and vanish. I know I’m looking for reason where there isn’t any…

Hmmm. That would finally explain water skiing.

Grandpa was a ball earthist... It's a shame we all carry in my family.

On another note, THE GOP JUST FUCKING DECIMATED ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THE US, DIDN'T THEY? These folks just get to walk around, mid manic episode, pointing rifles at poll workers, licking doorknobs during COVID, injecting bleach and horse paste into their eyeballs, committing January 6th while stabbing cops with sharpened flagpoles and worshipping a compulsive liar and convicted felon who doesn't know where he is half the time...

We used to have places these folks could go to get help.

Show me in the bowl of water how it's done

I think they're onto something. In fact, these water mountains seem to be so common, it might just be one big water mountain that covers the whole planet, and is so big it eventually wraps around and meets itself at the bottom.

There are "hills" on the sea. I doesn't prove that Earth is not also round.

Wait I have a meme for this (and absolutely no one is surprised):

Yeah, Mount Horizon covers the entire planet

This is what fundamental scientific illiteracy gets you.

When you have no reference point for how the world around you works anything makes sense.

They have to be trolling, right? There's no way a flat earther thinks water can bend like that.

I believe in water mountain. Just one of it. And it's round. That's why ships always disappear the same distance away if your height is the same, and why they disappear further away if you're higher up, again with a predictable relationship. The water mountain surrounds two thirds of the earth, and goes all the way around the round earth.

I don't think this guy got the memo: the flat earth argument is that water finds its own level. "Large bodies of water don't curve" as they say.

They believe that the ships don't actually disappear and that the strong zoom of a Nikon P1000 can actually bring ships back from behind the "curve".

They're a very special set of people 👍

Ken M, is that you? (i hope so!)

I have never met a flat earther, but if I did and she was hot I'd see what else I could convince her to believe.

I refuse to accept ships disappear behind something because I have never seen a ship disappear behind anything.

There's a simple reason why you have to make up water mountains to picture the horizon:

Scale issue.

Just a quick question.

How does one go about hiding a ship in a glacier?

Okay. Make that two questions.

Why does one hide a ship in a glacier?!

They probably saw it on Interstellar.

This is such a fascinating concept, because it misses the truth by millimeters. Complete lack of self awareness.

Water mountain, aka an iceberg. Checkmate, atheists.

Proof of water mountains.

I'mm clearly having trouble seeing the mountain for all these ships.

A water mountain would be a cool set piece in a fantasy setting.
