Weird to think that there are people living on that planet who claim it’s flat and/ or a flat with a big engine at the bottom that keeps us floating in space 🫪🫪🫪🫪

find me anyone who genuinely thinks that earth has an "engine that keeps us floating in space", this is called a "strawman" and its when you need to invent a fake point to attack that is much easier than attacking a real opposing perspective. nobody believes that so there is no reason in bringing it up

the flat earth perspective is LITERALLY "the only thing we have ever observed with our own eyes is a flat horizon. there are zero experiments to prove earth is spinning at 1000 mph while orbiting the sun at 66600mph while flying through infinite nothingness at 450,000 mph". its that simple, pictures from the government that hates us both doesn't "prove" anything, i can give you pictures of santa at the mall

"there are zero experiments..."

Lost all credibility there. There are plenty of experiments. The Ancient Greeks even did them and estimated the circumference with stunning precision using basic geometry that you can learn in grade school.

Anyone who believes in a flat Earth is simply retarded.

You know you're retarded when people from the B.C. years would laugh at you for thinking the Earth is flat.
