Sorry, neither of those look like a 'wall of cement' to me. :)

If nothing else, it's watertight evidence that 'Truthers' have jumped to conclusions and presented misassumptions as hard and apparently convincing (to them) 'facts'. And if they're wrong about this, what else are they wrong about? That's the question I would be asking were I a 'believer'. It...

I would also have expected staunch AE911 supporters like @John85 to have spoken up by now.

Anyone have a video of a controlled demolition where we see signs of the verified explosives and squibs of air being pushed out of broken windows by falling floors? I guess in John's world that would mean that extra explosives had been placed on upper floors for...reasons?

That first pic of Chicago? Looks flat to me, with a sense that there's something over the other side of the horizon (could be a downslope, a sheer drop off, a void filled with naughty flying monkeys - who knows? ;) ) Maybe this is one o' them things like 'the dress'? I think you're right...

Here are two places I've often seen the effect with my own eyes: Whitstable, Kent Whitby, North Yorkshire I think these both demonstrate well that a distant hidden object isn't required to generate the effect. Though as Trailblazer notes, the effect appears even stronger in video/live...

But not to you? I guess we need a poll. ;)

If that were true then all views of partly hidden objects across water would show this 'wall' effect. It's very striking in Stargazer's image, but not so in many others. This is Chicago from 30 miles away. This time it looks more like a sunken city, rather than a wall of water that rises higher...

Not sure about that. Why would his eye be looking at an angle corresponding with where the base of the distant and partly hidden object is? Also, though on the diagram the difference between "bulge" and "visual bulge" is large, in reality it would only be the difference caused by elevating the...

It looks that way, but it's not that way. Optical illusion. The sea will be at sea level, so whichever way you look at it, it doesn't have any elevation: it's below eye level; below surface level; and equidistant from the center of the earth at all points on its surface (give or take).

Some lovely diagrams from that text: very contemporary for something nearly 800 years old. :) Even got the tilt right (unlike some of the Wallace diagrams).

I wrote that three months ago; it seems even more true now. There's been very little flat earth discussion on metabunk of late, and I'm not aware of anything interesting happening on youtube, beyond Jeranism's failed attempt to work out whether a canal is curved or not. Is flat earth therefore...

Article on the BBC website today about CT psychology: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20180124-the-enduring-appeal-of-conspiracy-theories Main points have all been addressed here before: desire for uniqueness; anxiety and a feeling of powerlessness; a need for order; rejection of science...

It's difficult to imagine you'll have much success getting through to someone with such an odd understanding of perspective. Are they suggesting this also? And are they therefore suggesting that the same mirage is present everywhere whenever a ship is seen to disappear bottom first?

Have a go at hitting the Twin Towers next. :)

Smart debunkers don't - but I've definitely had times where I felt "the whole world was going crazy" because of how many conspiracy theorists it seemed there were, and how their numbers were growing. I'd like to think I'm not unique. :)

It's nice to remember, too, that we who are interested in debunking - i.e., the genuine 'Truthers' - are also in a wee little bubble that hardly anyone knows about. :)

Very good. Also to point out that the maker of the video in the OP (TheBloodyTruth) has posted a follow-up video where he debunks himself after realising where he went wrong: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0YYpsnvNNI

Just going by your picture. And your words. ;)
