Do you believe the earth is a sphere, or flat?

[Bizhiins]

I study astronomy, and sometimes I get astounded by how many flat-earthers are out there nowadays.
I believe the earth is a spheroid. Well..to me it’s not so much that I believe it, but I know it’s a scientific fact. I kind of want to see how many people actually think otherwise. What do you believe?

I believe the Earth is flat...at the poles.
But it is round...at the equator.

 

[unravel]

I �� believe that the earth is really flat

Luckily, I haven't ran into a flat-earther... yet. But I've noticed that they've gotten more attention in recent years. It baffles me how anyone can believe otherwise, especially when you consider the fact that we have actual humans and cameras in the Space Center literally looking at our planet.

But if it’s a doughnut, then how would the world in the inner ring have light and heat? Oh well, at least we can put up Christmas lights all year long as we deal with freezing temperatures.

****posting aside, wouldn't it just collapse into itself like this?

Yeah, while I’m not trying to disrespect any flat-earther, what?? Bro, just because you look through the window on a plane and the ground looks flat, doesn’t mean the whole earth is. Ratios, my guy. Ratios.

Nope

It is neither round, or flat. It's actually like an obtuse oval shape. Though I find being in discussions make the world out to be no better than Uranus, so I tend to avoid them.

Why is this a thing. Everyone knows it’s not flat

 

[Nunnafinga]

I think Neil deGrasse Tyson sums it up pretty well in this video but if that still isn't enough there's always this:

 

[Kurb]

round and if you think it's flat you need to go to space

 

[G0DFlesh_88]

shout out to Eddie Bravo lol

For now i'll believe its a round like a full moon or the early sun in the distance. Im sure I wont be alive when they reveal this is all one big simulation lol j/k

 

[moonbyu]

it's 2019 but people think the earth is round?! it's a fricking cube!

 

[Bcat]

Broke: the earth is flat

Woke: the earth is round, but the sun and moon are flat disks

 

[Stalfos]

I used to think that there weren't actually people who believed the earth was truly flat and that it was just 100% trolling. I've since been shocked, and honestly a bit appalled, to find out that there are people who genuinely believe our planet is just a flat surface. Sure, it's still probably less than 5% of the flat-earthers who are serious, but damn, that's still a whole lot. Never encountered one in real life though.

Now I'm just waiting for the poll to get hacked. Again. lol

The earth is obviously shaped liked a boomerang. How do you expect it to come back once it goes around the sun.
