What Is The Worst Flat Earth Fallacy ?

Thread bails?  I just posted in this thread 7 hours ago.  I am sorry that me having a job is such a hinderance to your participation in pointless debating. 

Are you people all autistic, or is this just an act?

We're arguing on a flat earth forum. I think that puts all of us "on the spectrum" if you know what I mean.

Fair enough. I'm trying to goad you into bailing less often (like with the distance of Everest thing...)

Are you people all autistic, or is this just an act?

Yeah, way to bring autism into this. Not sure if you're new to these kind of topics, but people don't chose to be autistic. They're born with it.

Also, aren't you a human? Aren't you supposed to be above this kind of stuff? And on top if it, you still haven't addressed my comment regarding your signature. I'm not asking you to remove it, I'm just curious why you would even think about putting that on an online forum.

Then again, Flat Earthers don't tend to use critical thinking. 

I understand mikeman not understanding satire when he reads it.  He admits he has assburgers.  The only explaination I could come up with for the rest of you is that you also have some form of autism or are simply trolling.

How? We were just debating what the biggest fallacy of the flat earth theory might be.

Oh lord here we go again.

Autism, on the internet, has gained a reputation for being used as insult, implying that a person has a mental disease/disorder. I am certain you were not asking if we had autism, and instead, was using this a derogatory insult. You were implying that we have a mental disease/disorder that prevents us from using common sense.

You're an administrator, you're supposed to set an example. Right now you're teaching us to act like we're 5 years old.

And again, you continue to ignore my comments on your signature. I really want an answer. What is the purpose of it? Though, then again, Flat Earthers tend to ignore lots of stuff on this forum. Such as pictures, videos, and even live streams documenting that the earth is indeed round.

You're just proving my point, Flat Earthers can't use critical thinking. Hell, let's even add on common sense while were at it.

My post was a direct response to your comment about my signature.  And, your comment in response sort of confirms that either you do have some type of mental illness that prevents you from understanding it, or this is is all just an act and you are playing dumb.  Which is it?  Perhaps we will never know.

I think we all understand it, but it just isn't that funny.

The flat Earth map makes Chile to New Zealand look at least twice as far as California to Japan, and yet both flights take about 12 hours. Hmmm....

You do realize that planes are capable of flying at different speeds, right?   

Do you fax this shit in?

@jroa

Mohammed Yusuf, founder of nigerian terrorist group boko haram, who performs genocide towards schools and children, thought that the earth is flat.

Dag Hammarskjöld, Secretary General of the United Nations Security Council, who devoted his life to keeping the peace on earth, thought that the earth is spherical.

Who do you believe?

I think BiJane's sig has something along those lines.

Prevents from understanding which part? The association fallacy? That part's pretty straightforward.

If the earth was flat, shouldn't we be saying "flat-al" or "plane-al" to describe something world-wide ?

Is the reason we use the word "global" part of the round earth conspiracy ?

Could it be that the airlines use SST's (Super Sonic Transports, such as the Concorde) disguised as ordinary jet aircraft on those routes to achieve those flight times on those routes ?

That's because the thunder did cause the lightning. Put your brain into gear and you  may grasp it.

I don't hear a sound when using a flashlight, and I don't see light when I use speakers, no matter how loud they are. And solar panels don't work if you only talk to them or play music for them.

How can you reply in a polite manner to something like this with a straight face ? Are you now saying that you hear the thunder before you see the lightning ?

Here is the most polite way I can think of for my reply.:
You say the thunder caused the lightning. But here is how it really is.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunder
Of course your reply is, I presume, something called "denial" ?
Or if you want to get first hand information, check this out with a local weatherman.

I don't hear a sound when using a flashlight,

Imagine if someone shrunk you down to the size of an ant. Do you think you would hear the flashlight then?

and I don't see light when I use speakers, no matter how loud they are.

Do you feel the warmth of the speakers?, as is, do you know that the wires get warm?

And solar panels don't work if you only talk to them or play music for them.

So how do solar panels work then?

No one is asking you to reply in a polite manner, but doing so ensures you get replied to in a likewise manner.

Are you now saying that you hear the thunder before you see the lightning ?

No I'm not saying that. You're implying that.
Your eyes are in the NOW. Your ears are in the THEN.
Meaning?
Your eyes see the source of the vibration/friction/frequency that made the sound, which was the light. Your ears, which no more than a drum and hammer signal to your brain, have to wait for that vibration to hit them.

1. No, I don't think I will hear it.

2. Warmth is caused by electricity, not sound. Same in a light bulb.

3. Photons hit the semi-conductor which excites electrons and generates electricity. No sound invovled.

What is the relation between the frequency of sound and the frequency of light, Scepti? Can you give us the equation?

What is the relation between the frequency of sound and the frequency of light, Scepti? Can you give us the equation?

And what is the relation between the speed of sound and the speed of light , Scepti ?
Can you give us the equation ? This should clear up the question of whether you see or hear the lightning or the thunder first given a known distance from the lightning strike.

There is a problem here. Some flat earthers believe that there is no speed of light. It is instantaneous. If the thunder came first and caused the lightning, wouldn't there have to be a certain speed of sound which would be greater than the speed of light ?
Or that we would hear the thunder before we see the lightning ?

The heat in a wire or element is caused by the resistance to the flow of current.

Oh Jesus, is scepti back on this idiocy?

It's just some kind of game to see how much of reality he can re-write.

More double talk and gibberish.
You did say that the thunder caused the lightning ? It is not the vice-versa : The lightning caused the thunder ? By this I think you would be implying the thunder has to come first to cause the lightning ?

I think you may have unknowing admitted that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound: You said "Your eyes see the source of the vibration/friction/frequency that made the sound, which was the light. Your ears, which no more than a drum and hammer signal to your brain, have to wait for that vibration to hit them." That is exactly how the lightning and thunder work . You see the source of lightning first since the speed of light is  the greatest. Then you hear the thunder since the speed of sound is slower and it takes longer for the sound to reach your ears.

Two notions. I will not even call them ideas, much less hypotheses or theories . LOL.

1. Is there really one flat earth fallacy that is worse than any of the others ?

2. Could it be that there are people such as sceptimatic who are really "Round Earthers" who make up all this nonsense just to make it look like  the"Flat Earthers" are worse than they already are ?

Check the real conspiracy of Scepti's first posts.    Always was and always will be a troll.
