The other day way back in History
Six Years Ago: Feb 23 2018.
Flat Earther "(Mad) Mike Hughes" committed suicide by building a

and trying to launch himself into space to prove to the world that flat earthers are indeed stupid.
the parachute on his "steam powered rocket" was ripped off at launch and Hughes came crashing down to the earth, effectively flattening himself & the spot of the earth he landed on. proving that some parts of earth are indeed flat.

I watched a documentary about him. He didn't really give a flying fuck about their beliefs...He was just a daredevil and they were willing to fund him...so much like Winston Zeddemore, they gave him a steady paycheck...he would believe anything they said. heh

Why.. not just buy a plane ticket? You can quite easily see the curve from a plane window, and it's FAR cheaper than literal rocket science.
And even if they believe that all commercial planes have fisheye windows or something stupid, then it's still easier and cheaper to get your own pilot's license, built an entire kit plane from scratch so you know exactly how it's built, then fly that and see the curve..

=,=

The curvature of the earth is kinda visible at the altitude commercial airliners fly, but to properly see it you'd have to exceed 60,000 ft. (18km+). Most General Aviation (GenAv) isn't going to be able to reach those heights. Your typical prop job Piper or Cessna...aren't going to go higher than 10k. You need pressurization, and most piston driven aircraft aren't going to go much higher than 30k. You'd need to move to jet aircraft...


The Concorde flew at 60k and people saw the curvature.

Honestly? Gotta respect the hustle.

It was actually the Science Channel doc that he was in the process of filming for that his oopsie happened.

This thread is littered with postaholics.

I'd say there should be a Postaholics Anonymous...but I really don't think anyone would show...They'd rather just keep posting.

Greetings. I'm here.
Things are changing, and as much as we want to savor the good stuff, life finds a way.
That's why I'm here. Hoping see what's all the fuss and hubbub.

Looking forward to meeting those that wishes to be met.

If I had the money, I would leave the UK for good. This shit is getting out of hand

Difficult where would you go to? I lived in germany, I'm glad I was gone before covid. Every country has some problems, it's all bad, but some like paris and london and probably baby Berlin are lot worse. Even though it's getting bad here, USA also has it's problems.

And for every other country you need to learn another language.

I'm bored. I think I am gonna go mess around with Strip Club Wars. I can't wrap my head around modding it...It's Unity...and I know next to nothing about it. :/

Decent game tho.

The Flat Earther Darwin Award was 8 years ago. 6 years ago was 2020 - that fun year, not 2018.

To be fair, people from ATF (Like myself) are directed to talk in this thread.
And in order to see the things people from ATF want to see, we need to get members+, which requires 250 coins. Thus forcing us to be postaholics.

Definitely a warm welcome. I was just thinking the same thing, it's been so busy I don't have the time to read it all. Of course the stuff I'd have a reply for were several pages back... everyone has moved on

Hello everyone,
Sad to see ATF go but we lurkers have to stick together.
I hopefully found a new home here.

Shh... I'm supposed to be working right now.

To date I've only played the desktop games here. Are there any good mobile games I can grind on the down low while I'm in the office?

 

[imYuna!]

I think you're not supposed to, honestly. I mean, there are over 8k pages, soo... And look at me, I've been shitposting a ton. Sweating for that sweet sweet + ya feel me? Conversations fizzle our rather quick.

But I like spying :3

Sticky toffee pudding!

 

[redfingers]

Alright miss elite legend over here, you're one to talk

Some of us have to have ... ugh ... conversations

A bit like this:

You raise a fine question to ponder, friend. I'd have to say yogurt, based on its protein content. Although, jello has a special place in my heart. Fun fact: in the tongue of my people, it is called "the food of the gods". As for pudding, I do not care the least bit for it. Hmm... come to think of it, one could conceptualize pudding as the midway point between yogurt and jello, wouldn't you agree?

I think I'd put jello at the top and pudding at the bottom of my list.

And with that, it's time for me to stealthily make my exit from the office
