Meme of the day. Flat Earth Friday.
The top pic taken at the peak of Mount Everest.
Or maybe we have all been lied to and Mount Everest is really. 18,000 miles high!!!
Research Flat Earth. You have been lied to.

The article that this came from said "Checkmate flat-earthers". But everyone knows that photo was taken with a gopro fish-eye lens. No, the real checkmate is this photo, I can't seem to come up with anyway to debunk this. I'm beginning to think we live on a plastic globe. @ironshield
Tornado? Lol
Ok first, what is all that colorful stuff that person has, and second, id that really the view from the top of the mountain? Wow!
The colorful stuff is all the garbage left up there. The view is the same as u would see from a plane at that altitude, only with a major curve produced by a fish-eye lens.

I think he is wearing that respirator to protect him form the chem-trails ;)
The fact that some guy taking a selfie on Mt. Everest used a fisheye lens is not exactly a devastating argument against the Earth being round - if some idiot used the photo as "proof the Earth is round" then yeah you've got proof that they're either an idiot or it's a joke you're not getting, but that doesn't exactly prove anything.
But what you do have there is a compelling argument against every flat-Earther who asks "why can't we see the curve?" - I mean, anyone can tell them that at relatively low altitudes there really shouldn't be much of any visible curvature, but this is a really good illustration of how low your expectations should be for e.g. the curvature in weather balloon photos.
Actually LADBIBLE used this photo on Facebook along with an article to say this was proof the earth is round.
I've seen video footage from several sources of weather balloons past the 110,000 foot mark that shows no curve. Also there is the Red Bull sky dive from space footage that gives a great example of both fish-eye and non-fish-eye lenses at the same altitude, fisheye lens is the only way to produce that curve.
On both points, you're not addressing what I've actually said and are repeating the things I was addressing in my comment. I'm not going to repeat myself.
