  • They can all be proven to be bollocks, be it based on an incomplete underatanding of the physics behind it. But usually flat earthers don’t want to listen and just keep repeating the same nonsense to each other.

    Edit: here, as reply to those claims in the abstract on that website

    • Flat Horizon at High Altitudes:

      • High-altitude photos and footage do show curvature. The curvature becomes more apparent with increased altitude, especially visible from space.
    • Horizon Rising to Eye-Level:

      • The horizon does not rise to eye level; it appears lower as altitude increases. This is a perceptual effect due to the vast scale of the Earth.
    • Rivers and Canals on a Spinning Ball:

      • Rivers and canals follow the curvature of the Earth, but this curvature is very gentle over short distances. Gravity ensures that water flows downhill, irrespective of Earth’s shape.
    • No Detected Movement of Earth:

      • Experiments like the Michelson-Morley experiment and subsequent tests have demonstrated Earth’s motion. Modern technology, such as GPS and satellite communication, relies on and confirms Earth’s rotation and orbit.
    • Curvature in Engineering and Construction:

      • Engineering projects account for Earth’s curvature over large distances. For instance, long bridges and tunnels are designed with curvature in mind. Surveying techniques and instruments are specifically calibrated to account for this.




  • Calling the Situation “EU warmongering” when Orban is pretty much the only opposition to the broad consensus in the bloc that aggression against on of the direct neighbours, which also aspires to become part of the bloc mind you, is seen as threatening the peace in Europe and should be stopped right where it is currently is grossly misrepresenting facts. That is my gripe with it (apart from a rightwing news side I have never heard of before coming to the aid of a rightwing cleptocrat that undermines press freedom amongst other not-so-democratic things. Don’t like that either).

    And that is also the context one has to keep in mind reading the IMHO pretty onesided article.






  • I tried to ask the Santa Clara Board of Supervisors to look at the data from their own public health department, but they refused to lift a finger. They ALL ghosted me. I can imagine it’s the same in your community.

    Probably because he comes across as on of those concerned citizens that rather wanna see people die in troves than employ common sense and cut back for a while.

    The most important thing you can do now is to vote for a new US President who sees the harms of these vaccines and will stop it. The guy in office now will never lift a finger to stop the damage.

    So he wants the other clown back? The one that recommended taking that horse medicine? And injecting yourself with bleach?

    Yeah, no. If I was with those Santa Clara people I wouldn’t lift a finger either.

    (I hope the next plague gets guys like that first 😒)

    Edit: Saw your “meme” with the flags. Not surprised to see something like this post as well 🙄.
