[Serious] How would you prove via firearms / ballistics the Earth isn't flat?

That’s why it’s racist! Makes Greenland look huge!!!
In point of fact, Merator projections are created to make "Whiteland" appear bigger and "Blackland" to appear smaller. North America and Europe are the centers of western civilization, but Africa is way huger than flat map makes it appear.

It was created that way because Northerners used maps and everyone South of the equator was still shooting monkeys out of trees with a blowgun. If the Lesothans had invented geography, Iceland would not even be on the maps….

It wasn’t racism at the time. It was who was living in the Enlightenment and making maps and inventing electricity and building steam locomotives.. and who was still pissing in their own drinking water. Revisionists call that racist.

The reality is that those who invent the maps get to decide how big Norway is. If the aborigines had done it, North America wouldn’t even be worth exploring.

gravity would be less concentrated (depending on the thickness of flat earth) so there would be almost no bullet drop.

You and wade should rule the world and show us idiots how it's done

I'd be perfectly happy to rule the world.
But I could guarantee pretty much everybody would find some reason to hate me over something.
So probably best I don't
 
All I can say is the earth is pretty much flat where I live. Except for those things that stick up outta the ground, hills or whatever. But then you go back down, so it's hard to tell for sure.

What's interesting about that type of statement (yes this specific one alludes to a non scientific event), but going back to actually quoted proper "discovery dates" in European eccentric history, is how stupid and backwards the Europeans became thanks to their own stupidity and the horrific evil that was the Catholic Church.

The Europeans and their stupid ideas of religion took a giant leap backwards into ignorance and religious superstitions and it took them a thousand years to just get back to where science was prior to the horror that was the rule of the Catholic Church.

Back in 240 BC the Greeks had proven the earth was a sphere and actually knew how big the earth was to within 2% to 3% of the accepted measurement today.

The Arabs of course enjoyed pointing out what ignorant fools the Europeans were, right up until they went religion crazy and took a giant leap backwards themselves that they haven't yet managed to shake.

Just like the stupid European Catholics with their "god given dogma" that the sun and everything revolved around the Earth.

Pretty much everybody else (including their own ancestors) understood solar and celestial mechanics to a very high degree of knowledge, enough to make very accurate long term celestial calendars and align buildings to point at different stars at just the right times.

As much as we could shake our heads at those dogmatic religious fools and the monstrously vile religious leaders that they followed, just look around you today and it's happening all over, religion and dogma is once again becoming the "truth" instead of facts and science. Except this time it's the woke cult and the haters of all that is decent that are making the new insane dogmas that totally ignore any scientific facts.
Just like the religious zealots before them, they are starting to viciously attack and oppress anyone that tries to actually point out scientific facts.
I don't doubt they will start trying to kill people before long for saying facts and science are real and their religious dogmas are not.

I'm glad you are such a strong Protestant.

God bless you brother.
 
You should never argue with morons. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

There are idiots who actually believe no planes hit the Trade Center buildings or the Pentagon.

There are idiots who actually believe the Lunar Landings were faked and that the 400,000 people involved have managed to keep the secret for over 50 years.

Then there are incredible imbeciles who believe things like: Flat Earth. Hollow Earth. Reptilians, etc.

You can’t reason with the unreasonable, but you can ignore the ignorant.

There are people who believe gov’t works for the people, the elections are secure, and that there was a covid pandemic. You forgot those. Add them to the list.

It certainly wasn’t meant to be an exhaustive list. Feel free to add your straw men to it.

Not sure if serious, but taking the bait...

Mercator map was designed in the age of sail for sailing. If you use a mercator map and you sail a straight heading, assuming the map is accurate, even with goofy ass giant greenland, you'll land as if you drew a line along the map. Mercator map: circa 1600. Age of Sail: same time.

hmmmmmmm Very handy for not running into reefs and shit. or worse. THE DUTCH

but now migrants are raping their women and kids, and those idiots are watching it and afraid to be called a racist for saying something.

Mercator map designed in 1540’s… just 50 years after Columbus.

No one was trying to be racist then.

Just, as you say, try not to die finding San Salvador and Manhattan.

Again… the map was state of the art for finding stuff.

It was not created to make Finland look bigger than South Africa. That assertion came later and is total bullshit. The Mercator Projection was designed to make a map of the spherical world that you could lay out on a chart table in a tiny little wee 60 foot carek like the Santa Maria.
