Here is some news that is either comforting or depressing: there are still flat Earth truthers out there. Prominent among them is the very successful rapper B.o.B (you might know him from... this one?), who has spent the last 24 hours or so tweeting a lot of good flat Earth memes and theories.
He started with this:
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this
B.o.B—who has more Twitter followers than every news organization on this planet—then spent the rest of last night and on into this morning further arguing his belief with increasingly convoluted evidence. Here is his response to someone saying that the world doesn’t have edges (god, this is so stupid):
have u been to the edge ? or is that what your science book told you https://twitter.com/bijoubakson/status/691414951295062016 …
There was a little tangent about Felix Baumgartner’s space jump:
I was on a plane the SAME time the Red Bull jump happened. The pilot told us to lookout the window.. 5 miles to the left was the balloon
We were flying at the SAME altitude as the guy who did the red bull jump... NO curve... even tho their footage shows otherwise
A lot about horizon lines being straight:
No matter how high in elevation you are... the horizon is always eye level ... sorry cadets... I didn't wanna believe it either.
how do you explain the horizon always being at eye level ?
