Another flat earth thingy ...

Apparently, some FEers went to Antarctica to see for themselves whether there is indeed 24 daylight. The flat earth model requires that there always be some night within every 24-hour day at the South Pole. So, a group of FEers went to see for themselves, to prove that the “midnight sun” is faked and therefore that the earth is flat. One of the group, a pastor, saw how the sun dips toward but does not go under the horizon at 12am and he immediately recognized the error of FEdom. Of course, other FEers simply refused to accept the report and dismissed the pastor as being a shill for the globe model.

I came across this via PZ Myer’s blog = https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2024/12/16/surprise-the-earth-is-a-globe/ who in turn linked to a fun little video by Culture Catz that I recommend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33ti8cfcKfQ.

Culture Catz further “recommends” this video — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy9r-kJKAlo&t=0s — by a FEer who asserts that the FEers went to a fake Antarctica.

Update (4:45pm on 16 December): a much longer video by “Professor Dave” explores the history of the “final experiment” and includes some of the initial video from the FEers in Antarctica, and especially the immediate acceptance by FEer Jeran of the 24-hour sun = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLHTe_ORjLc.

Update (2 February 2024): so, two of the FEers who went to Antarctica have accepted that the world is indeed a globe, and of course they have been roundly rejected by the rest of the FEer community, who see them as shills and the whole experiment a grant fake. Professor Dave has a long video exploring the FEer arguments about the supposed use of green screens, giant domed sound stages, fake suns, etc. and how none withstand scrutiny (and the careful prep by the organizers of the Antarctica trip) = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsETzrRr3is.
