I think this says it all

"Flat Earthers have nothing to fear but sphere itself."

"Take me to the edge." "Why, you don't have to see the edge with your own eyes to know the earth is flat ?"
"No but you do to push someone off it."

I have had no friends that are so ignorant as to believe that. lt would not be possible for me to be close to someone like that.

Its been nice to know you.

What do you say to someone who cannot grasp evidence or logic? It would be difficult to consider someone who chooses to be that ignorant a friend.

"Telling someone off" is such a well-recognized technique for changing people's minds...well done!

I never get into it with any of them. I have better things to do with my time than argue. I mind my own business.

Screw it. She's already shown that doesn't want to hear about it. Let her be dumb, not your problem.

Life is to short for to expend energy on willfully ignorant or toxic “friends”.

Easy, no one I would be friends with would be a flat-earthist. I do my best to avoid the feeble-minded.

I would be immediately judging their intelligence and mental state, but would be compelled to ask questions. "WHY do you believe that? HOW do you believe it, with all the evidence that it isn't true? Have you ever flown in an airplane?" You can literally see the curvature of the Earth...!!

Tell them to grab a pair of binoculars and go sailing. When you approach another sailboat on the horizon the first thing you can see is the top of the mast. As the boat gets closer you can see further down the mast until you finally see the hull. If the surface of the ocean was flat you’d see the whole boat emerge at once. This is why sailors were the first to realize the surface of the earth is curved.

Alternately, just continue sailing, and you’ll end up where you started.

Anyone that stupid wouldn't be a friend

I wouldn’t waste my time...anyway what kind of friend can she be if she has you blocked? Leave her to her loonie views and be grateful that you’re blocked!

I. Just. Couldn't.

I do not have such so called friends.

You could send this....

Not much, actually. Doubt I could change thier mind.

I would have first politely asked my friend, or, my fellow human who believes this planet is flat, why he/she believes this to be true. I would allow my friend to present their position and ask if I could then explain to them that gravity is a thing. I would ask if they had ever heard of Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton or of Albert Einstein. I would ask if they recall a 3rd grade lesson involving disappearing ships at the horizon of open seas and if they remembered that the lesson was called Science and the topic was to demonstrate that Earth is indeed round? If my fellow human being does not grasp this concept nor agree, I would not argue with them. You simply can not make a logical argument with this person. You can agree on one thing: (Except for 1 or 2 scientists in the early 1600s) We all believed the earth was flat.

I know one person who is the trifecta of anti-vaxxer, creationist, and flat-earther. I think she has her particular religion as part of her identity, so everything scientific or historical fact challenges those beliefs. It's a defense mechanism to question the validity of science and logic itself.

Last I heard she and her flat-earther boyfriend are actively trying to prove the earth is flat by running experiments. So maybe she's on the way out of that illogical cesspool, hopefully. But I doubt it.

I'd tell them to look at videos taken by astronauts of Earth... I'd also ask them, if the earth was flat, why aren't we twisting about like a piece of paper in the wind.. Also, how does the water in the oceans manage to NOT fall off the edge of the flat planet..

Sorry you lost a friend over a difference in belief. But alas, telling off a friend? What's that all about?

When some one is that far gone, why bother!!!

Why harass an individual like that!!!

Just shows how insensitive and moronic you are to even bother!!!

I would show evidence that the earth is a globe. There are photos taken from space that would help a lot. Also, airplanes fly, and ships go, east and west across both oceans, and nobody falls of an edge. Further, when it is daylight in the Americas, it is night time in Australia. The time zones prove that the global Earth is rotating.
