    Do you have evidence of that? Seems like they do have some evidence in this article of their claims. Open to seeing some info challenging it.

        Pretty simple: go to any big lake and close to the water level and then watch ships appear from the mast.

        Or take any stick, place it perpendicular to the ground and measure the shadows length at noon. Then drive at least 400 km to the south or to the north and repeat the same measurement at your new location on the next day at noon again. Then compare the two lengths.

        Or buy yourself a nice telescope, watch the other planets a and take a guess which form earth has, when all the other planets are round. Also: isn’t the normal crazies’ argument that earth is flat instead of non-round?

          Perhaps my comment is misunderstood. There is no evidence in the OP’s article. It links other articles, which also fail to provide evidence.

          The Canary incorrectly cited a video with timestamps described in one of the defendant’s filings. In that filing, the defendant’s attorneys don’t even claim what the Canary claims the Prospect claims. How did the defendant’s attorneys miss that the video timestamps of their client’s interrogation happened while their client was supposed to be writing stuff on Discord? They didn’t. It’s a nothingburger.

          Anyway. i was mocking the commenter’s statement that they’re open to evidence of the obvious by comparing it to a flat earther’s alleged openness.

            OK, while I thought that might habe been one possible interpretation, I didn’t want to miss if it was indeed serious.
