Just had my mother and farther tell me I’m in a cult and sick for supporting Trump. Could use a couple Frens right now.

Deboooooonked!

But seriously...

Everyone knew the Earth was a globe back then, they just were not aware of the Americas.

Eratosthenes demonstrated this in 240 BC, including a very close estimate of its size.

How do you guys explain traveling West by plane to get to Tokyo?

Honestly, it's incredibly simple. East and west are just traveling clockwise and counter-clockwise around the flat plane. Look at the UN, WHO, and many other of these evil global organizations: they use the flat earth map, literally laughing in our faces every day.

The world has never been circumnavigated from north to south, only east and west. North is the center point of the plane, south is the outer rim. There is a reason Polaris, the north star, never moves from its place in the sky: because it always sits above the north pole. Watch time lapse video of the stars over several days: they clearly circle around us in perfect circles, always.
