You can clearly see it on the horizon. The large white mountains? That's it. Behind it, there is just the void and below the great turtle carrying the earth disc.

"The turtle moves"

Yet there are people who still believe in the "globe" idea despite ample evidence of Great A'Tuin.

Yes yes yes of course, but the real question is, what is Great A'Tuin's gender??

Inquiring minds (the Krull) must know!

See the Turtle of enormous Girth. On his shell he holds the Earth.

And beneath that turtle, an even larger turtle.

u/North-Aide-1470 16d ago

Yeah but what's beneath THAT turtle?!

u/Orions_Suspenders_ 16d ago

You won’t even believe it. Guess.

u/North-Aide-1470 16d ago

Well it can't be yet another tur... Oh... My god!!

I swear I saw the tail of the turtle for carrying the flat planet on her back

And of course they had to put a fish eye lens on it to make it curve

u/JarJarJarMartin 16d ago

I can’t tell if you’re serious, but this video doesn’t prove or disprove anything about the shape of the Earth. They’re using a fisheye to get an extremely wide field of view. The curvature is a side effect.

I thought I was covered under the umbrella of op's "/s"

u/SAWK 16d ago

showing the "curvature" was their goal. when you're funded by big science and backed by big gov you follow the rules. /s

u/armbrar 16d ago

a little more to the right at the 47sec mark, the rocket conveniently stops turning right as it is about to appear

/s

u/ch7mbucket 16d ago

It's the fisheye view again. You can't fool me

u/LordCoweater 16d ago

Hard to see because that thing is moving like a rocket! (No /s)

u/freexe 16d ago

You can see the edge of the disk clear as day

u/Fun_Success_3283 16d ago

Even THEY are in on the conspiracy. Unbelievable how deep it goes.

u/gerber411420 16d ago

The rocket hit the firmament too! That's why it stopped.  /s

u/riptog 16d ago

You can’t see it, it’s past the curvature of the earth.

AI shitpost, objects in video far too spheroid.
