The flat Earth model is an archaic conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat Earth cosmography, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. That paradigm was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and the notion of a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl was common in pre-scientific societies.
The idea of a spherical Earth appeared in Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC), although most Pre-Socratics retained the flat Earth model. Aristotle accepted the spherical shape of the Earth on empirical grounds around 330 BC, and knowledge of the spherical Earth gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world from then on.
Historical development
Ancient Near East
In early Egyptian and Mesopotamian thought the world was portrayed as a flat disk floating in the ocean. A similar model is found in the Homeric account of the 8th century BC in which "Okeanos, the personified body of water surrounding the circular surface of the Earth, is the begetter of all life and possibly of all gods." The Israelites likely had a similar cosmology, with the earth as a flat disc floating on water beneath an arced firmament separating it from the heavens.

Professor Dave Humiliates Flat Earther David Weiss (DITRH Debunked Live)
For months now, hordes of idiots have been lurking in my comments sections, aggressively insisting that I need to debate David Weiss, because he's some kind of flat earth messiah who is undebunkable, and I should cower in the face of his might. Of course I ignored them because he is a two-bit charlatan and who cares what idiots say, but then a channel with almost 700k subscribers asked if I would debate Weiss on his channel, and I figured it might be a good way to pick up a few subscribers, and also humiliate a flat earth icon irreparably in the process. And folks, that's exactly what happened. From the moment he opened his mouth to the moment we left the stream, I took every single word he said and demonstrated in real time how David Weiss is a science illiterate moron that doesn't unders...

Eric Dubay Sucks at Life (200 Flat Earth “Proofs” Debunked)
It's been quite some time since I checked in with flat earthers, those pathetic grifters peddling the dumbest hoax in the history of the human species. But I felt compelled to revisit the subject in order to debunk the fraud who is still regarded as some kind of flat earth messiah, Eric Dubay. His ridiculous pamphlet commonly referred to as "200 Flat Earth Proofs" was just a rehashed version of a pamphlet from nearly two centuries prior by a fellow named Sam Rowbotham. So what could these proofs be? Do any of them hold water? Not a single one, in fact. However idiotic you think they're going to be, I promise they are much worse. Watch me obliterate them all rapid fire!

Is the earth spherical or flat? Airlines tell us the answer
Expected travel times between airports would be very different if we lived on a flat earth. For example, flying from Sydney, Australia to Santiago, Chile would be around 22 hours, if it were even possible. Surely it would take much longer than flying from Sydney to Los Angeles, right?

The 10 Things That All Flat Earthers Say
So it's been a minute since I made my response to the Globebusters, and for two months now I've had to listen to flat earthers spew the same nonsense in the comment section of that video, day after day. Now that I'm intimately familiar with their most popular and most ridiculous talking points, I thought I would put them all together in one clip for a vigorous debunking.

From the moment he opened his mouth to the moment we left the stream, I took every single word he said and demonstrated in real time how David Weiss is a science illiterate moron that doesn't understand basic concepts learned in elementary school, just like every other pointless flat earth grifter. Anyone who watches this exchange and still refers to him as a credible source of information is in complete denial of reality and hopelessly unreachable. Of course that describes most flat earthers, so I'll see you dummies in the comments section complaining about what a meany mean-pants I am instead of admitting to yourself that you are completely unable to address a single thing I said in this absolutely airtight, relentless destruction of a toxic influence on society. Toodles!

Now that I'm intimately familiar with their most popular and most ridiculous talking points, I thought I would put them all together in one clip for a vigorous debunking.

For months now, hordes of idiots have been lurking in my comments sections, aggressively insisting that I need to debate David Weiss, because he's some kind of flat earth messiah who is undebunkable, and I should cower in the face of his might. Of course I ignored them because he is a two-bit charlatan and who cares what idiots say, but then a channel with almost 700k subscribers asked if I would debate Weiss on his channel, and I figured it might be a good way to pick up a few subscribers, and also humiliate a flat earth icon irreparably in the process. And folks, that's exactly what happened. From the moment he opened his mouth to the moment we left the stream, I took every single word he said and demonstrated in real time how David Weiss is a science illiterate moron that doesn't understand basic concepts learned in elementary school, just like every other pointless flat earth grifter. Anyone who watches this exchange and still refers to him as a credible source of information is in complete denial of reality and hopelessly unreachable. Of course that describes most flat earthers, so I'll see you dummies in the comments section complaining about what a meany mean-pants I am instead of admitting to yourself that you are completely unable to address a single thing I said in this absolutely airtight, relentless destruction of a toxic influence on society. Toodles!

It's been quite some time since I checked in with flat earthers, those pathetic grifters peddling the dumbest hoax in the history of the human species. But I felt compelled to revisit the subject in order to debunk the fraud who is still regarded as some kind of flat earth messiah, Eric Dubay. His ridiculous pamphlet commonly referred to as "200 Flat Earth Proofs" was just a rehashed version of a pamphlet from nearly two centuries prior by a fellow named Sam Rowbotham. So what could these proofs be? Do any of them hold water? Not a single one, in fact. However idiotic you think they're going to be, I promise they are much worse. Watch me obliterate them all rapid fire!

Expected travel times between airports would be very different if we lived on a flat earth. For example, flying from Sydney, Australia to Santiago, Chile would be around 22 hours, if it were even possible. Surely it would take much longer than flying from Sydney to Los Angeles, right?

The flat Earth model is an archaic conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat Earth cosmography, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. That paradigm was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and the notion of a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl was common in pre-scientific societies.
The idea of a spherical Earth appeared in Greek philosophy with Pythagoras (6th century BC), although most Pre-Socratics retained the flat Earth model. Aristotle accepted the spherical shape of the Earth on empirical grounds around 330 BC, and knowledge of the spherical Earth gradually began to spread beyond the Hellenistic world from then on.
Historical development
Ancient Near East
In early Egyptian and Mesopotamian thought the world was portrayed as a flat disk floating in the ocean. A similar model is found in the Homeric account of the 8th century BC in which "Okeanos, the personified body of water surrounding the circular surface of the Earth, is the begetter of all life and possibly of all gods." The Israelites likely had a similar cosmology, with the earth as a flat disc floating on water beneath an arced firmament separating it from the heavens.
Oh I have a dream and I want to share it entirely… I know how hard it is to empower yourself (it's so sexist afterall) Just open your eyes and pay more attention, they're so good at disguising their intentions. It's everywhere, looking for arms (Once you join the dance you can't stop anymore!) It is known that the world is afraid of smart girls (empower yourself from it) And I still do not feel safe in it so I consider it sexist (get inspiration from it) Being called separatist while fighting for womyn's rights?! And oh yeah the world is flat. (this is what we are)
