1. Very misleading picture.

The circles make it look like everything is revolving about the sun instead of Earth.

Common sense: if the sun is round like all of the non-Earth planets, then it wouldn't make sense for it to be at the center. This is basic astrology, people!

[MoonRiver]

2. Lol

[qazplm135]

3. there is no sun

wake up sheeple!!

[CrackityJones75]

40. Wait who built the moon?

10. Just Great!!!

Basic astrology!

41. everyone knows that the EARTH IS HEART SHAPED.

M. T. Nonsense.

And in defense of her EXTREMELY LIMITED mental capacity.........The space lasers work in all environments. Globe or flat.

6. Neptune is wrong!

It rotates in line with its orbit. It rolls around the sun.

[Earth-shine]

35. I believe you are thinking of Uranus.

Castration of Uranus

Aphrodite, born from the white foam which spread around Uranus' genitals. 5720: Péliké. Aphrodite naissant d'une coquille. Apulie, entourage du "peintre de Darius" vers 330 J.-C. Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Genève.
Uranus was the first ruler of the universe. He reigned until his son Cronos, revolting against his rule, castrated him.

Son and husband

Uranus (Sky) is first of all the son of Gaia (Earth), but secondly he is also her husband. And having wedded his mother, Uranus had by her an impressive offspring:

HECATONCHEIRES

First the HECATONCHEIRES, who were of great size and might, each of them having a hundred hands and fifty heads. Uranus hated this terrible offspring, and used to hide them away in a secret place of earth as soon as each was born. It has been asserted that, in addition, Uranus rejoiced in his evil doing.

CYCLOPES

Thereafter Gaia gave birth to the CYCLOPES, who are known for having one eye on their foreheads. Though they were strong like gods, Uranus, repeating his previous deed, bound them and cast them into Tartarus, a gloomy place in the Underworld, as far distant from earth as earth is distant from heaven.

9. Pluto!

[ProfessorGAC]

11. If Pluto Had Just Cleaned Up Its Room...

...it would still be planet!
That one is for the sciency types!

16. I thought this is why it was named Pluto! ...

15. +100 I recommend the Terry Pratchett book The Fifth Elephant. (That was the first one of

many that I read and enjoyed them all.)

[csziggy]

17. I haven't gotten around to reading the Prachett books

Though my husband has read many of them. I've only just begun to get into his world through the mini-series on Acorn TV. So far my favorite is Going Postal which I first watched at the height of the postal screw ups. Or maybe Good Omens, which was hysterical.

Right now I am reading Isaac Asimov's robot and Foundation series of books. When I'm finished, maybe I will pick up the Prachett books.

[niyad]

22. I must warn you! NEVER read a Pratchett book in public. People will look at you strangely

as you repeatedly burst into laughter.

Of course, these days there is not so much of the sitting at a coffee shop or on a park bench, etc.

[csziggy]

24. Now there is a thought - I have to report for jury selection next Monday

Maybe I should take a Prachett book with me to read. If I burst into maniacal laughter at irregular intervals, maybe they won't pick me for jury duty.

This will probably be the last time I am summoned for jury duty - I'll turn 70 in a little over a year, which is the cut off for required jury service in Florida. This is the fifth time I've been summoned - twice for federal jury duty, which I couldn't do because of business commitments (it's hard to take two weeks off when you are running your own business and have a series of big events coming up). Then I was on a jury that never made it into the court room - the defendant took a plea once they were dragged into the court room. The last time was horrific - the defendant bit off a woman's lip.

I'm not sure I have the endurance to last through a trial again. I've had a lot of health issues - but I am vaccinated and have nothing big enough to try to get out of it.

[niyad]

28. A brilliant thought! If summoned, I shall do the same. Or bring my knitting! People tend to be a

bit leery of a very cranky person with two very sharp objects in her hands.

I was summoned once for a mcmartin preschool type case. I was dismissed when they learned that a friend's daughter went there. Another time, I was the main prosecution witness after a very nasty car crash. The defense kept getting it postponed, and I kept getting more annoyed. I did not appreciate having to be in court at 8 a.m. when I never got to bed before 5. There was not even a vending machine for coffee! The fourth time I was there, the defense realized that their tactic was not going to wear me down, and the creep pleaded guilty. Grrrrrr.

[csziggy]

30. Yeah, I've set aside a cross stitch bookmark to take

One of the ones I bought while we were in the UK. I don't like cross stitch, but these are cute - a puffin, the Welsh dragon, Tintagel Castle, and a Celtic knotwork design (not all on the same one, four different ones).

I'm dreading Monday - they want the jury pool to show up at 7:30 AM. I usually go to sleep at 2 AM but some nights, like last night, I can't get to sleep until 4 or 5 AM. My husband is going to drive me to the courthouse and pick me up when I'm done. That's a relief since I am worried about my endurance. He says if I get picked for a jury, I'll have to drive myself.

I won't be able to drink tea - my caffeine source - since it makes me pee. As an older woman with a bladder the size of a walnut, that is not good when I have to be someplace.

[niyad]

31. They sound lovely. We will want pics when you finish.

I don't know the rules where you are, but here, each summons is given a number. The night before one is due to appear, one calls a courthouse number. If lucky, one's number is in the excused pool, and that is the end of it.

[csziggy]

33. Yes, I have number 75

Usually they call a pool of about 150 potential jurors and select jurors for all the upcoming trials. So with 75, the chances are I will at least have to show up for selection. I may talk to the judge about my concerns about endurance.

I got out of being on federal juries twice. I was the sole proprietor of my business with a major even coming up both times. They never called me for a federal jury again. Now I am only a little over a year from being too old to be required to do jury duty and have a very long history of major surgeries. Maybe they will take pity on me - but if I am selected, I will do my best to serve.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I met a Flat Earther a few years ago,

before I even heard of the theory. What a lesson in frustration. I was a teacher and used every single logical point to disprove his crazy theories and he had a crazy answer for every one. I asked why airplane pilots and people on a plane can see the curvature of the earth from their plane window. His answer to this is "all the airplane pilots around the world for almost 100 years is in on the cover up". Also, if they take a photo of the curvature from their plane window, the photo is somehow faked by the camera makers and film developers.

[niyad]

21. Proof conclusive that the earth is NOT flat: if it were, cats would have knocked everything off of

it by now.

[Gore1FL]

23. I am trying to fathom who the "cover up" benefits. nt

[BigmanPigman]

25. I can't begin to try to understand

their crazy BS since it IS crazy BS and nothing is logical or makes sense. When I found out that there was an actual group believing and spreading this nonsense I was dumbstruck. I don't know what I find to be the most incredible, the shear insanity of their theory or that there are thousands of other crazies believing the same BS.

[Duppers]

27. My own father was, at one time ....

one of those damn idiots! I remember when I was a child, he once argued the Earth was flat because *The Bible* stated it has 4 corners! He must've been extremely worried when he was aboard a military ship sailing for Europe during WWII, fearing it might fall off the edge into space?!

Thanks goodness someone was able to reason with him many yrs later.

Religion!

[BigmanPigman]

29. I watched the film Inherit The Wind

again last week. When the lawyer tried to argue about Darwinism and the Bible and what it says compared to reality and Science I thought of the flat earther and his BS. "Give me that ol' time religion" is reason #1,000,001 why I am an atheist.

[TheBlackAdder]

32. Inherit the Wind -- Isn't that something people experience when visiting Taco Trucks? 🤣

Dinner and a show.

[Duppers]

34. 😁 Same here, BP.

Same here.

Christians must cherry-pick what they take literally in the buybull; if not, they're considered nuts by greater society. It seems that would bother them.
(Biting my tongue. )

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

39. All airline pilots around the world are in on the cover up.

Clearly he never actually listened to what he said there.

[aggiesal]

14. That explains a lot ...

taken from a Texas school book, no doubt.

[SilasSouleII]

19. Ahem...

No.

[UTUSN]

36. Hah!

[Initech]

37. Yeah how do you explain Saturn's rings to a Flat Earther?

[Permanut]

38. If we could just get past that ice wall at the edge..

NASA is guarding it, of course, but we'll see who's laughing when we finally get pictures.

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. I thought the Earth would be more disk-shaped than pizza box-shaped.

[StClone]

44. Shouldn't those planets be laying flat on their sides?

46. Map is incorrect, unfortunately

Everyone should know that rings of debris circle Uranus not Neptune!

47. This is a stupid meme....

Everyone knows the flat earth is PERPENDICULAR to the Sun. That's just basic science.
