How do flat Earth seasons work?


So on earth the sun's heat angle deflects more than penetrates in the winter....

On a flat Earth how does summer and winter work? Nasa turns up the fake directional heat on the fake sun or what?

As the saying goes: when it comes to flat earthers, there's nothing to fear but sphere itself.

Do you write your own script? 🤣

So do flat Earthers believe that like people in North America live on top of the flat part and people in the Southern hemisphere like Australia for example live on the other side of the flatness cuz then everybody in Australia would fall off into space and I like kangaroos.

reply

Seek out the flat Earth map. It's round and disproportionate for some reason.
They can't fall off due to the "ice wall" that surrounds the disc :)

To be honest I don't want to waste my time on it. Maybe the Earth is like a flat vinyl album and the sun is the record player arm/needle moving across it and making different parts warm. Gosh I hope we're a Commodores album. I want to live in a Brick House.

i hope you are kidding. but yes flat earth is NOT worth your time. it's astounding how they ignore reality

reply

Of course I'm kidding. I was being as ridiculous as the notion of a flat Earth is.

hard to tell these days. an INSANE(!) amount of people fell for the internet dupe

They don't, because the earth isn't flat. That is a stupid myth started by idiots online.

The earth is technically, an "oblate spheroid," a 3-D sphere that's a teensy bit squished, but it's very slight, based on measurements scientists have taken of it using satellites and on-the-ground measurements. Basically, the earth is wider when its diameter is measured along the equator, versus from pole-to-pole. It's not as obvious when photographed from space, but it's very clear when accurate, 3-D maps of the planet are made in computers.

I know. I fascinated by the stupid excuses they come up with. Hench, my post with possible explenation. :)

There's a game I like to play called "Surviving Mars," where [I guess a few centuries into the future] you build a colony on Mars for humans to live, and you have to deal with all sorts of scenarios that the game throws at you to keep your colony intact and your people alive.

One sort of challenge the game throws at you are random chance cards. The developers poked fun at the above subject with a chance card called, "The Flat-Mars Society." In that, a young adult in your colony who was born on Mars, started the movement because they and several other Martianborn people were buying into stupid theories on the internet. Apparently, according to the game's wiki, this chance card happens when a colonist with the "Idiot" trait also gains the "Guru" trait. The founder of the movement has a crappy, homemade rocket built, and wants to take their peeps into space to prove Mars is flat. You can choose to either ban the society, let them fly in the rocket and all get killed, or just make the founder of the movement fly the rocket and get killed, while the movement falls apart as a result of this colonist's stupidity.

Normally I bring in Earthborn colonists with no bad traits, but you can't do anything about the Martianborn ones developing bad traits once people start having babies on the planet. It's all kinda random.

hahaha I've heard of this game. cool they included that.

for fun, I made up... then looked up the "Flat Sun Society" and sure enough, it already existed. I mean the joke page about it. I mean the sun LOOKS flat too, right? So it must be.

reply

Now that I've never heard of, and the concept sounds about as laughable as claiming the earth was at the center of the solar system or the universe.

I would like to point out that most of "Surviving Mars" isn't about silly stuff like that chance card. Mostly it's about building a colony for humans to live in on Mars, and surviving that the planet has to throw at you. It also provides fun adventures involving finding alien life, or helping humanity spread among the stars, exploring the caves under the map you've chosen, and terraforming Mars so that one day, humans will have a "second Earth" they can live on without wearing environmental suits. It's a lot of fun, and I've founded many colonies in that game ;)

reply

Did your fact checker tell you that?

reply

Its totally legit to ask that. Anyone pretending to be a flerfer (they're all pretending, of course) should be required to account for both the daily and seasonal cycles & latitudinal climate variation.

But they don't. Which tells you all you need to know about the deal - its all a farce.

reply

I actually tried to watch a video of a guy trying to prove how light worked.... why it gets darker if the flat earth sun is always above. it was astoundingly stupid. maybe it was meant to be? but it seemed like a serious attempt

reply

The same could be said of ancient people who believed in a flat earth. There were some brilliant people. How did they account for the seasons? Aristotle believed the earth was flat.

Magic.

The internet helps multiply the people of stupid

reply

Maybe they think Earth is a table and someone's moving the furniture during the cooler months? Lol honestly I'd like an answer that isn't attributed to wizardry or stupidity as well.

reply

MAYBE it uses the same prospect as the globe earth: heat reflecting.

If they think the sun (that is only 60 feet behind the trees based on geometry angles of sun light seen through the trees) ((so much fail to deal with here)) that that ANGLED SUN (that is pointed away from areas at night) also changes its heat angle and it reflects instead of permeates, thus, less heat in "Winter"

it's all so absurd, its imposible to grasp because... well.... because it is impossible

reply

The flat Earth is stationary. As the sun travels around it, it gets farther north each day, making its rays more perpendicular to the Earth's surface in summer. This is if you live in the Northern Rectangle. In the Southern Rectangle it's the opposite.
