Nah dude. It’s a sphere.
Oblate spheroid
Its an egg.
I am a banana!
I tried to watch this video. Wow It’s dumb. All speculation, no science. Perhaps it’s a spoof that I don’t appreciate.
The important part is that there’s not a small section of the population which will take all speculation and no science for easily disprovable things to heart rather than challenge their world view. It’s oddly fitting that the flat earth is so dumb to them, but many other similarly false takes will sway them wholly.
I know this is no stupid questions, but that is absolutely a stupid question.
So you're saying he's already proved the impossible once...
Flat Earth is silly. Some people take the stance to be funny or play devil's advocate. Many seem to believe it along with other conspiracies.
From the beach or even several feet higher than the beach in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, you can see the high rises on the island of Cozumel. You don't see their bases or the land they are standing on. You just see parts of the buildings. It's super obvious the earth is curved here. It's one simple example of many that is accessible to anyone but conveniently ignored.
There are a shitton of simple or complex indicators that the world is roughly spherical. The "evidences" for the reverse are fringe or depend on deep conspiracies. You have to want to believe in the conspiracy or have very limited critical reasoning to think the earth is flat.
And they say there are no stupid questions
The Earth is shaped like a Farfalle noodle
Carl Sagan talks about this in the first episode of Cosmos. Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round centuries ago. It’s really cool. I recommend checking this clip out.
TLDW: No.
Yes. I’m sorry, not yes, I meant the other one, no.
Earth is Dinosaur shaped
Do yourself a favor. Binge this guy’s channel. .
