How funny, this comments screams to me that you have not argued with a genuine flat earther.

Debates with them are not remotely interesting; they're constantly reaching to religion, magic, and Jewish control.

Find someone grounded who also enjoys debating and it's a fun topic to cover, however.


Well, the main thing I learned in such debates is, you are free to believe what you want

I don't feel responsible for grounding the facts you somehow believe in.

But in another mood, I might have shared links to certain Telegram groups, or connect you with some people I know personally. They would be eager to enlighten you, if you are in for that.


What does this even mean?

Do you think the earth is flat? Who the fuck cares about Telegram groups in this context?


It means I debated very often with weird people and the proof that I did, is that I don't feel the need to make the poster above believe, that I actually did that.

(Otherwise I would have shared links where you can find me debating the topic at length with various people)

Because indeed, most flat earthers are immune to reason as they are in the realm of irrationality. So at some point someone needs to accept that and that helped my attitude towards my need to correct wrong information in people in general.

And if you believe now, I am a flat earther, because I said I discovered some flat earthers that act somewhat scientific sometimes and are open for arguments, well, so be it.


Whether or not you believe the earth is flat is a yes or no question, but you responded with a paragraph that wasn't a real answer. This reads as defensive, which leads a reasonable person to believe that you are in fact a flat earther.


I was defensive about the accusation of never having engaged with a real flat earther, despite saying so. And this part of the debate actually reminds me of engaging with them, so I rather stop that.


If this thread is any indication of what it’s like to debate flat earthers, I absolutely never want to engage with them.

:D


Occasionally it can be fun.

Have you ever watched a we-have-never-been-on-the-moon conspiracy freak engage a flat earther?

With both trying to top each other who has the most superior knowledge and who is the real sheep?

But yes. All that borderlines on the dangerous mental crazy side, so I cannot really recommend it, unless you have a fascination with the abyss of the human mind.


I guess you work at Jaycar too? Always a fun conversation trying to explain voltage drop to someone who wants to cheap out on cable with our inverters and DC/DC chargers.

I'm sure a 48V bus would solve all those F1 errors too.


That's funny, I assumed the same.

Not an employee, but a very happy reoccurring customer.


Yeah my dude

Didn’t think there’d be more than one of us on here

Such a wild west company to work for. I enjoy meeting the many very bright people who work for us before they inevitably move onto other things


Just a heads up, newer versions of Android will kill processes that spawn a certain amount of subprocesses. You'll want to look into disabling the phantom process killer using adb (works for unrooted phones but you need to repeat those steps after each reboot.)
