It's fairly easy to prove the Earth is a spheroid. And it is sad to me that few people understand this.

I was too busy looking at the titties in the OP to call you out for missing the point...

I got the point. I also know that there are a bunch of ignorant people out there who think the Earth is flat, and I was done joking about it a few years ago, because now it's just sad that these morons also vote.

I wasn’t sure if it was the boobs or if I was looking at Jabba the Hutt from Star Wars.

While I am as certain as anyone that the Earth is generally spheroid in shape, I don't see how that graphic proves anything.

Having attempted to prove this to a couple of non-believers over the years, I'd be interested in why you think it is easy. With at least one of the Flat-Earthers, their main belief was based on Biblical scripture, and without contrary scriptural evidence, they were not buying anything I said.


Although it seems quite absurd to most people, the issue of a Flat-Earth is a bit of dogma that I have found hard to contradict. I've even taken someone out to the big cornfields NE of Cincinnati, where you can see flat land for a long enough distance that the curvature of the Earth is pretty evident. Nope.

I'd be interested in any easy methods you have.

The simplest and most straightforward is a lunar eclipse, where the Earth gets between the Moon and the Sun. As the Earth crosses the face of the Moon, it makes a circle, every time. That's only possible if the Earth is a ball.

I like the Low pressure systems, but I think they need to be a little bigger.
