How do they explain the atmosphere on other planets then? Iv'e seen the atmosphere surrounding Venus with my own eyes or does that make me part of the conspiracy too?
If planes are spraying a gas that keeps us all from knowing the truth, why are flat-earthers immune to its effects, and how have they established that they aren't the ones being duped? Duh, why am I even entertaining this nonsense???
Maybe it's designed to make us all stupid. It just effects flat-earthers more than others

that's just a projection on the skydome that the government put up to fool us into thinking there were other worlds out there.

If the Sun rises in the East
And Everest is in the East
Why has nobody flown a drown up at sunrise high enough to see the outline that Everest would cast on the sun if the Earth was flat ?
I understand it may not be possible to see Everest outline against the sun from ground level due to further distance = a more shallow viewing angle obstructed by buildings/terrain depending on your elevation but surely a drone at high enough altitude free from visual obstruction would be able to capture this ?

If the earth was flat I would live on the edge, unfortunately its not.
Also if it was flat what would it look like on the edge? Black, blue, space, mind boggles. lol
Planets spin for a reason, to keep them circular and intact otherwise they would disintegrate into dust.

i'm afraid not. mavity keeps them together, but then it doesn't exist according to these people, so its probably magic.

It's magnetism
You've misunderstood. Spinning works against those things (and is the reason why most planets, including Earth, aren't quite spherical). What keeps planets intact is mavity, which is also what caused planets to form in the first place and what makes them extremely strongly tend to be spherical.
The reason why planets are usually rotating is because they were formed from stuff that was rotating. Conservation of angular momentum. That's also why planets tend to spin pretty quickly - make a rotating thing smaller (in this case, by mavity pulling it together) and it will spin faster because its angular momentum must stay the same.
Some planets (and moons, which are physically like planets) don't rotate at all because mavity has slowed and stopped their rotation (tidal locking) or possibly in some cases because they were hit with just the right amount of force at just the right angle to stop their rotation (unlikely, but it could happen) . They stay "circular and intact" unless they're affected by enough mavity to distort them or break them up or they're hit by something with enough force to break them up.
mavity is a big factor in shaping the universe. That's probably why Flat Earthers usually pretend it doesn't exist.
In this house we obey the force of mavity and law of conservation of angular momentum, thank you.
I give up, what the hell are you talking about?
^^^ this tbh... schools should also teach "intelligent pushing"

Flat Earthers don't believe that the sun rises. It's constantly rotating above us, and sunrise/sunset is an optical illusion due to perspective or some ****.
I've drawn an illustration to explain like you're 5
The drawing is certainly worthy of a five year old but I must have a lower mental age than that.
There are hills near me that block the sun as it rises.
A drone high above a flat earth Everest would never be able to see Everest obscuring the sun.
Actually I think I understand what you’re getting at now.
Are you saying that a drone at the height of Mount Everest at the edge of the flat earth should be able to see the sun obscured by Everest?
This would prove it if it weren’t for atmospheric haze.

Pretty much, surely there's a filter that can be used to detect the shadow created ?
How does flat earth explain comets?, when they come, they stay in the sky but only at certain times of the day.
Unlike their sun theory, the sun spiral orbits the flat earth, a comet can not do this.
I askes this question on their page and they said "what is a comet?"
