Proof is displayed all the time here.  It is unreasonable for you to ask such a blanket statement.  If you have a specific question, we would be happy to oblige you.  However, I doubt anyone will bother to make a list every time someone asks for us to list all the proof in one thread.

Please. Don't. You're only going to lead yourself into a world where everything is "just another conspiracy by the "roundies" who rule the world". You also have to give up just about every proven scientific fact about the Earth as well. In addition, you'd better be prepared to be looked on as "stupid" or "idiotic" from now.

Just don't do it. Believing in a flat Earth is stupid, B.C.E way of thinking.

Many of the people in real life who ive spoke to agree at least partly with the idea, obviously the earth is not round

The Earth is ovviously round. We have plenty of proof to prove it. The best evidence namely is old photographs, taken at a time when computer graphics that could generate a realistic-looking Earth weren't possible.

Take the famous 1972 photo, the Blue Marble:



Now compare this to the best computer graphics technology of the 1970s:



I think, at this point, a flat Earth is a bullshit, nonsensical idea.

What a great excuse. I totally believe that an organization of over 2.8 million people, not including other world governments, have been able to "keep quiet" for over 70 years without any sort of "leak". Nice try.

Lol, you thing that photoshopping technology did not exist in the 60s and 70s.  You are more gullible that I thought.

Photo editing techniques did exist in the 60s and 70s, but they were physical techniques which involved changing the actual photo. With technology like that you can't just "create a fake image".

In regards to "photoshopping technology", this was what a computer in the 1960s looked like:



At this point in history, in order to run a computer, you'd have to physically change out wires, or move tubes. Almost no computers from this era even had something reminiscent of a screen. Likewise, computers in the 1970s did have screens, but they were all comprised of low-resolution graphics and terminal screens. No "photoshopping" techniques would have been possible to create a photo like the Blue Marble.

So, you admit that pictures could be altered back in the 60s and that computers were massive and too big to actually take to the moon.  I think you are providing evidence that the Earth is, in fact, not what they tell you it is.  Thanks.

I am admitting that they could be altered, but if you'd not have been an idiot and actually read my post in it's entirety, you'd see that the techniques used back then were not capable of generating such images.

In regards to the computers used in the moon landings, they had about the processing power of a speak-n-spell, but they still got us there. For reference, here's a picture:



Why don't you go read up on the page for Apollo Guidance Computers before making crass assumptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer

How did they manage to fit that in the (alleged) LEM ?

Good question.  Perhaps they had a "shrink ray" link they did in Honey I shrank the Kids?  lol

Like you, I tried to get a summary of why FEers believe in a FE. No answers (I doubt there will every be any) - see my "Proof of a Flat Earth" thread started a month ago.

You won't get any straight answers. At best, all I have found is (1) water falls off a globe and (2) a continuing debate about viewing ships/land over horizons. That's it. That is why FEers believe.

Unless more reasons to believe exist, this website is only about debating positions (FETs) you really don't believe in and trying to disprove RET by throwing out science (you have to reprove everything) and pictures (all pictures are fake unless they support FET).

That's like saying "If computers are as big as my desktop computer then how can one fit in my phone?".  Computers are not all the same size, you can make them smaller at the expense of computer power if necessary.  The computer on the Apollo space crafts was not very powerful, a lot of the number crunching was done on the ground and transmitted to the ship and the on board computer only did simpler operations that required less power.

Seriously, how do you live in this century and yet know so little about computers?

Are you guys retarded? Did you not take one second to look at the image I linked in my post? It's a small guidance computer built for the LEM.

Don't bother. You will end up getting a bunch of random numbers and facts they pull out of their arse. Then they proceed to act as if that proves everything about their horribly crafted theories. Not to mention that they never fully counter your arguments and then proceed to say that you never answered their random questions.
My personal message is a lie.
Don't be an idiot and throw away science to follow the mad ramblings of a cult.

  You are on the wrong path here. You don't need proof to become flat earther, you just need to accept that the earth is flat as a dogma, ignore everything that shows otherwise and devise every possible explanations (magical, scientific or half scientific or whatever) to explain every possible observable phenomenon. Take a time and read forum posts and FE answers especially to get the mood and right state of mind.

Look at this. A guy comes in asking for evidence of a flat earth because he is thinking of becoming a Flat Earther himself, and not a single person can give him any. Just shows how incredibly stupid FE's are, they actually deny all evidence in favor of a theory with nothing to back up its points.
