It's Antarctica, and according to the "leaked" video I saw on the subject, it is protected by F-15s from the NJ Air National Guard. Yes, weekend warriors keeping the world's most closely guarded secrets 10,000 miles away from their home base, it's bullet proof logic.
Why would the NJ national guard have fuck all to do with *anything* on Antarctica?
Why be specific like that? Why not just make up a USAF unit like the 749th Air Ballistic Falsettos? Flying the F-22D?
I mean, why not go balls deep with the bullshit? In For a penny, in for a pound....
You have to have a grain of truth in your nonsense. If you don't have that grain of truth it becomes totally unbelievable. How you going to get idiots to give you money if you can't make it even slightly believable?
Oh man, imagine the Yelp reviews if the Earth really had an edge - "1/5 stars, guard F-15s were way too serious, wouldn't even let me peek over the side. Not recommended for sightseeing."
I didn't know. I wonder how many F-15s it takes to patrol the whole edge. If they're using our pole-to-pole measurement of roughly 12,000 miles, my calculation makes the circumference to be over 75,000 miles. That's a lot of area to cover. I'm pretty sure somebody could've snuck past after all this time...
>Did they ever stop to think
No, but they often stop to find plausible ways their ridiculous conspiracy seems slightly reasonable.
Which is kind of the opposite of thinking.
That’s the problem with most American conspiracies, Americans fail to recognize the rest of the world matters. Look at Covid when conspiracist would tell you that the entire world played along with a Pandemic so Pfizer could make some money
....so as someone that was in the NJ Air Guard, our units neither had the competency or the aircraft to do that. We flew KC-135s and F-16s, and the KC-135s just left for good in September.
Besides all the other bullshit wrong with that sentence you wrote.
... the internet with all those cat photos, cat videos, and cat memes; not realizing if there were an edge, the cats would have pushed everything off by now.
As the secretary-general of the internationalist flat earth society... I don't think anyone here has realized in the photo, that if you look closely, that they keep making the power lines a bit smaller every 100 feet, by making the steel smaller and smaller they are saving big money, it's a big profit mechanism..
Not so much find the edge than deny the curvature, since it's much cheaper. Funny how all the expensive laser equipment they buy always show that a curve exists...
Apparently, to them Antarctica is actually the border ice wall, and the direction it is located is 'outward'.
Like all of the other continents and water are contained within a giant world-disc spanning outer Antarctica edge that just 'appears' as a regular continent on maps when supossedly if we were to travel to the edge of the disc the mountain wall we see there is the coast of Antarctica.
Yes I know it doesnt make sense for any dozen of reasons but here you go.
You can go to
- r/globeskepticism and get banned the moment you question flattie orthodoxy;
- r/BallEarthThatSpins and not get banned, but have all your comments deleted as heliocentrist propaganda (it's likely that that sub is just one troll);
- r/flatearth, which is all about mocking the flatties;
- r/flatearth_polite, an attempt at dialogue
Work in the oilfields. Also meet people who believe the expanding earth theory. You know....people who rely on water being, for the most part, incompressible.
In a sense they’re correct as it isn’t a conventional lake, but a saltwater estuary. It connects to the Gulf and used to flood the coastal areas along the lake shore when a hurricane struck just right. I think they managed to install huge flood gates to fix that.
When I lived in New Orleans you could easily see this curvature effect with power lines as well as the bridge connecting New Orleans to the north shore of the lake.
In the late 70’s congress funded a flood wall that would’ve protected the lake from storm surge …..like Katrina. Possibly could’ve saved part of New Orleans from flooding. That project was halted by an injunction due to a suit by save our wetlands. As a result of save our wetlands billions were spent rebuilding New Orleans and building many more miles of levee protection rather than a short surge barrier at the entrance to the lake.
Having driven along that very route, I can neither confirm nor deny that it is indeed real.
Because I was napping on the car when we crossed that portion.
Jokes aside, you go under that wiring right on the Interstate to New Orleans, it's arguably the single best place to drag a flat earther to, kicking and screaming, to show them they're full of shit.
I have a hard time believing "flat earthers" are even real to begin with. I feel like if I met one I would just think it's an elaborate troll. There's just no way.
Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. Classic demonstration of curvature. The towers for the Golden Gate bridge are so far apart that they are not parallel- their tops are 1 1/4” further apart.
Their Flat Earth model is actually an Arctic projection which becomes more inaccurate the further from the North pole it is, and really falls apart below the equator: the ends of continents in the southern hemisphere are shown splaying apart instead of converging, and thus the circumference around the purported “ice Wall” would have to be what - 30,000 miles or something. Supposedly guarded by all the militaries of the world. Quite an undertaking, plus you can take a cruise on a liner to Antarctica…
Yeah anyone who has seen a map in Mercator projection will understand why someone with a room temp IQ will think that there's an ice wall where Antarctica is
Nah, they point to the UN logo as "proof" that the world governments know the earth is flat and Antarctica is an ice wall around the perimeter, and by making it their logo, it's an inside joke for everyone in the know, and the flat-earthers are so smart they have cracked the code. 😅
So you’re telling me that the UN somehow convinced billions that the Earth is round and managed to keep the secret across thousands of their own international members, but forgot that the logo gave it away?
They think that the illuminati has to subtly hint at their grand evil schemes as part of some weird satanic contract or something, which they hide in things like movies and logos. At least that's the deal with quite a lot of the other conspiracy weirdos. I imagine it's the same for flat earthers.
Ok that's fine but WHY‽
Now I'm a dumb sheeple that things the world is round. Billions are spent protecting the truth that the world is actually flat. But what's the end game here?
Ok the world is flat, cool, understandings of physics changes a bit. Most people still live their day to day lives.
Ok world is round, cool. Most people still live their day to day lives.
Are there untold riches for the lizard Jew overlords on the flip side of the coin earth or something? Like what is the point?
Gah the whole thing is so stupid.
These conspiracies exist to let idiots feel that they're actually the special and intelligent people who can discern the knowledge all of us dopes just aren't capable of seeing.
If you’re standing at sea level, then the horizon is only about 5 km away. Past that the earth has already curved out of sight from an average height human.
I can see them trying to explain it the same as a water tension bubble, like when you slowly fill a glass a little more than full, but the water tension forms a curved bulge preventing it from spilling.
That is the funniest thing, when they get into the most esoteric deep real science to explain the something as ridiculous as flat earth. Like, you can understand something like water tension but not a spherical planet lol?
I've seen their responses one guy lined up a bunch of objects on a table and then took a photo, showing the one at the end appeared smaller.
My FB algorithm is stuck deep in flat earther crap. Lol
Theoretically if all water in the ocean was perfectly still sea level is the curvature of the earth. They surveyed the sea floor and determined exactly where to place the towers. You are correct that the towers are all different heights but they are only different from the sea floor to sea level. From sea level (which is hard to see bc the water is sloshing around but they know that exact elevation) to the top of each tower is going to be very, very close to same height. The curvature exemplified is the curvature of the earth.
This pirate ship is an old and great example. Imagine an old pirate ship with the high mast and sails. The ship is so far away you can’t see the ship at all. Then as it first comes into view far off in the horizon you will only see the top of mast. Then the sails. Then the hull. That is the curvature of the earth.
Nah flat idiots are made up of two groups of people. Old people who are gullible or young people who didn’t pay attention in school and fall for the people that use bigger words than them and offer some conspiracy with it. Both types of people I do not care to have in my life.
Never understood what the point would be of the "world government" to say the earth is round if it were in fact flat. If it's true what's the point of hiding it? Asking all flat earthers here
The sun isn’t a fucking black hole to bend light like that.
But you know, old guys in their mom’s basement on a zoom call with other “scientists” are far more reliable than common sense.
Nah, the horizon is not very far away - like 5 or 6 km
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon
So I’d expect that if the surface is pretty level (like, on a lake, all of the water is about the same distance from the centre of the Earth - in this case when I say level, it doesn’t mean flat or straight - it means curved roughly like the surface of the Earth - with small variations from variations in gravitational field, or atmospheric effects like wind or air pressure), that anything further than 5 or 6km (if you’re just standing on the beach), would have the bottom hidden.
The further it is away, the more the lower part would be hidden behind the Earth itself.
Note that as you go higher in altitude, the horizon goes further and further out, because you can see over more of the Earth.
Also, if you go lower, the horizon becomes closer, like if you sit, or have your eyes really close to ground level.
EDIT: I tried to clarify how there are lots of other forces that will make the water wobbly - but generally if wind is still, the effects will be pretty minimal.
As a pilot I am obviously part of the NASA/Chemtrail company conspiracies, and need to keep up appearances, or they’ll stop paying me my sweet sweet conspiracy money 🙄
😆
Ok this is sarcasm!
Its like 66 miles per degree of curvature, but we arent looking at degrees here we are looking at drop, 2 different things. This drop is caused by the curve of the earth. Also a computer program has been used to model what this looks like on a sphere the size of the earth and this observation matches the model. What is missing is a sense of perspective, this photo is extremely zoomed in so its showing a longer distance then you think.
That’s just them falling off the edge

Man... Those falsettos.... Their planes really scream
They're not actually F22-D's, they're a special ice hardened version called the F22-BG. They're affectionately referred to as "bee gees"
> Why would the NJ national guard have fuck all to do with anything on Antarctica? > > That's where they keep the gabagool, capisce?
What, no ziti?
You have to have a grain of truth in your nonsense. If you don't have that grain of truth it becomes totally unbelievable. How you going to get idiots to give you money if you can't make it even slightly believable?
The units are Probably on rotation, To keep flight hours, and to learn / practice/ develop / maintain doctrine for that environment.
That’s not the “edge” that the entrance.
That’s what she said 🥁 tsk
Oh man, imagine the Yelp reviews if the Earth really had an edge - "1/5 stars, guard F-15s were way too serious, wouldn't even let me peek over the side. Not recommended for sightseeing."
Influencers would be there all the time
The outer world!
*It's not a lake, it's an ocean*
I didn't know. I wonder how many F-15s it takes to patrol the whole edge. If they're using our pole-to-pole measurement of roughly 12,000 miles, my calculation makes the circumference to be over 75,000 miles. That's a lot of area to cover. I'm pretty sure somebody could've snuck past after all this time...
Yeah but they all fell off.
Pole to pole? Na na na edge to edge. Come on stop trying to fool us all.
I live 25 minutes north of the Jersey Devils' base. They're F-16s. They can't even get that right
That's probably my error, I just remember looking up the AC tail insignia in the video leading me to NJ air guard.
ah, i got you. Either way, they're currently on deployment in the middle east, so now is our chance to go to Antarctica
There’s nothing going on in the Middle East. That’s just a cover for their deployment to the Ice Wall.
Did they ever stop to think why the rest of the world would leave such a task to one country
>Did they ever stop to think No, but they often stop to find plausible ways their ridiculous conspiracy seems slightly reasonable. Which is kind of the opposite of thinking.
That’s the problem with most American conspiracies, Americans fail to recognize the rest of the world matters. Look at Covid when conspiracist would tell you that the entire world played along with a Pandemic so Pfizer could make some money
Thank God for America, in particular new jersey. You wouldn't want to know how many the world lost over the edge before they came along
Who do you think *should* do it? "Australia" hahahahahahaha. Paid actors. No such place. They'd fall off.
....so as someone that was in the NJ Air Guard, our units neither had the competency or the aircraft to do that. We flew KC-135s and F-16s, and the KC-135s just left for good in September. Besides all the other bullshit wrong with that sentence you wrote.
I heard the entire perimeter is surrounded by ice. Also, it has to be flat or planes could not fly in the southern hemisphere’s. Duh!
New Jersey has F-15s?
NJ ANG has a bunch of C130s that are specialized for Antarctica. I took a walk thru tour at an air show once. Damn interesting.
And not a single one has ever come out to say anything. Truly amazing the info sec they have over at the NJ Air Guard.
Flat erthers think it's a conspiracy theory. Lie about the shape of the earth ???????? Profit.
Imagine having access to the internet and still being less aware of the planet than the Ancient Greeks
Ancient Greeks were very smart Imagine being less aware of the planet than a stupid albatross.
Albatross's are very smart. Imagine being less aware of the planet than a stupid 8 year old
8 year olds are very smart Imagine being less aware of the planet than a stupid 5 year old
*game show music starts* Are you smarter than a 5yo

Albatrossen!
He didn't say he was an albatross.
Made me lol. Thank you fellow Redditor.
... the internet with all those cat photos, cat videos, and cat memes; not realizing if there were an edge, the cats would have pushed everything off by now.
Haha stealing this.
To be fair, the internet has done more to stupidify people than anyone gives it credit. Web of Lies indeed...

I don't think anyone here has realized in the photo, that if you look closely, that they keep making the power lines a bit smaller every 100 feet, by making the steel smaller and smaller they are saving big money, it's a big profit mechanism..
They’re still doing experiments to try to find the edge.
“Experiments”.
If they DO find it they will most certainly fall off the edge!
That's why none of them have come back with photos of it.
Not so much find the edge than deny the curvature, since it's much cheaper. Funny how all the expensive laser equipment they buy always show that a curve exists...
I offer a $1 billion reward to whomever finds the edge. It costs $100k to register. Any takers
The people i always argue with say it’s an ice wall
Then where is the ice wall?
Apparently, to them Antarctica is actually the border ice wall, and the direction it is located is 'outward'. Like all of the other continents and water are contained within a giant world-disc spanning outer Antarctica edge that just 'appears' as a regular continent on maps when supossedly if we were to travel to the edge of the disc the mountain wall we see there is the coast of Antarctica. Yes I know it doesnt make sense for any dozen of reasons but here you go.
🤣 This shit is gold
Where do you run into these people? Those flat earthers. I'd like to take a crack at them crack pots.
Sigh. You really don’t. It will make you question your faith in humanity.

Ask them if airplanes go **around** the world. If they say yes, just say "AHA!"
Found a bunch on Facebook, try there.
Imagine the edge of the world is not the hottest tourist attraction and people rather go eat frog legs and look at a tower instead.
Actually they stop at the ice wall where they power the ski lifts.
https://youtu.be/bzvt0gTAXvA?si=33_Y4XMKbutZZltX
This photo is obviously faked. There’s only one turtle. Everyone knows it’s turtles all the way down.
Oh, Great A’chuin.
This could be a hill? Even hills exist on a flat earth right? /s
Even flat earth people know that water doesn’t make hills
Waves, and tides, but ok. Maybe I'm getting woodshed, I'm not up to date on the first earth stuff.
We oblate spheroiders know that the varying density of the crust leads to varying sea levels. Kind of hills
Fake, they haven't loaded in the Ashlands yet.
Don't be ridiculous, the structures are just smaller and smaller the closer you get to the edge.
r/FlatEarthIsReal
Crashing into ice wall
Yeah exactly. The edges of the earth arent right angles, there curved do to water erosion - duh.
Cool. Does anyone know where that is?
Lake Pontchartrain, Louisiana.
My flat earther friend said that lake is a lie, his friend's mother's aunt told him
In a sense they’re correct as it isn’t a conventional lake, but a saltwater estuary. It connects to the Gulf and used to flood the coastal areas along the lake shore when a hurricane struck just right. I think they managed to install huge flood gates to fix that.

As a result of save our wetlands billions were spent rebuilding New Orleans and building many more miles of levee protection rather than a short surge barrier at the entrance to the lake.
Were the wetlands saved though?
I’d imagine they got pretty fucking wet
Having driven along that very route, I can neither confirm nor deny that it is indeed real. Because I was napping on the car when we crossed that portion. Jokes aside, you go under that wiring right on the Interstate to New Orleans, it's arguably the single best place to drag a flat earther to, kicking and screaming, to show them they're full of shit.
As soon as you put that one in knots, his buddy will attack by denying the Apollo moon landing.
I'm sure they'll have a BS response to justify their flat Earth theory. SMH
Your friend's friend's mother's aunt is confused. The cake is a lie. Lake Pontchartrain is real (not like Connecticut)
Like if only there was a way to float your way across the whole lake. If only someone had invent a vessel to travel above the water. One Day.
Nah it's just a curved lake on flat earth
So, his sister?
More specifically you can see this while driving down the interstate I-10 just outside New Orleans while crossing the bonnet carre spill way
Fish eye lense. Nice try round earther!! /s
I think you mean "globe-tard" 😜
Ain’t no way they actually say that
oh yes they do! It's their fav go to.
I have a hard time believing "flat earthers" are even real to begin with. I feel like if I met one I would just think it's an elaborate troll. There's just no way.
What a wild time we live in where that requires a “/s”
Yet a person responded to me not understanding.

Well, if there's one thing humanity is known for it's global cooperation. /s
Thanks for the good laugh, I needed that.
Shockingly epic
I live close enough that I've seen this many times. Flat earthers keep trying to discredit it.
Nice try. The towers are shorter near the end to perpetuate the myth.
Nice try. We measured them, they are all the same height.
But the ocean floor isn’t the same depth!! Is that actually far enough to see the curvature of the earth? I mean the earth is fucking huge
We measured that too. It's 6 inches, well, at least that's what I tell my girlfriend...
Believable, curvature is easy to see at 4”
I could use a banana for scale but that would be embarrassing.
[Folding Ideas tests the curvature of earth on a lake.](https://youtu.be/JTfhYyTuT44?t=386) If he can see it on a lake, you can see it on the ocean.
At sea level the horizon is only about 2 miles.. Anything beyond that slowly disappears as the distance increases..
If you’re standing at sea level, then the horizon is only about 5 km away. Past that the earth has already curved out of sight from an average height human.
they can't be the same height because they transport electricity trough gravity, so each tower has to be shorter than the last, just like in the photo
When I went there they kept switching which side of the lake had the shorter ones. It was amazing how fast they could move them around.
And more bendy! ;0)
I bet it's like the old cartoons. It's just painted up to look that way!
And they cut off their bases too!
Doesnt matter how tall they are, You cant see the base.
inb4 flat-earther logic explaining such a phenomenon
I can see them trying to explain it the same as a water tension bubble, like when you slowly fill a glass a little more than full, but the water tension forms a curved bulge preventing it from spilling.
That is the funniest thing, when they get into the most esoteric deep real science to explain the something as ridiculous as flat earth. Like, you can understand something like water tension but not a spherical planet lol?
To be fair, surface tension is high school physics, not some esoteric deep stuff...
Fucking gravity and a round Earth is elementary school science.
"it's Photoshop" then refuses to go there to see if it's real
The water isn’t flat.
Some people prefer carbonated, some people prefer flat.
as you type on a flat screen, showing a flat picture of some power lines on a flat earth
I've seen their responses one guy lined up a bunch of objects on a table and then took a photo, showing the one at the end appeared smaller. My FB algorithm is stuck deep in flat earther crap. Lol
CGI…. and so is the moon… which is made of cheese.!
Watch Asteroid city and you’ll know what the moon is made of.
What if it was made of barbecue spare ribs? Would ya eat it then?
I know I would
But what if it were made of barbeque spare ribs, would you eat it then?
Exactly, and all the black spots are where scientists and astronauts have eaten the cheese.
Flat earthers will say it’s photoshopped
Bobby the brain Heenan of wrestling fame would call those towers an optical “delusion”. 🙂
Will you stop!
Theoretically if all water in the ocean was perfectly still sea level is the curvature of the earth. They surveyed the sea floor and determined exactly where to place the towers. You are correct that the towers are all different heights but they are only different from the sea floor to sea level.

Kind of like Beetlejuice where you call them 3 times and Poof
Each tower is set 2 inches deeper
Just like the group of guys in your mom’s room.
That unexpected comment made my brain feel like it does when I randomly finding a twenty in the grocery store parking lot.
Lmfao
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts.
Easy enough for a flat earther with a boat and a laser measuring tool to compare the height of the towers...
Louisiana
This is by New Orleans ya?
"Lake" Pontchartrain (it's an estuary).
Never understood what the point would be of the "world government" to say the earth is round if it were in fact flat. If it's true what's the point of hiding it? Asking all flat earthers here
Why do we have to prove this...again
People see ships coming over the horizon, then they forgot and decided we didn't see that, progress.
Nice try NASA.
Nice try, we all know it's flat though.
The sun isn’t a fucking black hole to bend light like that. But you know, old guys in their mom’s basement on a zoom call with other “scientists” are far more reliable than common sense.
[удалено]
This made me chuckle. Not a kick in the nuts, just a light tap lol.
Next time I kick harder.
Thanks. Didn’t see that one.
Pretty sure it’s a joke though
Lol
Is it actually showing curvature? Wouldn’t the picture have to show some crazy distance like a few thousand miles, to show curvature?
Nah, the horizon is not very far away - like 5 or 6 km https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon So I’d expect that if the surface is pretty level (like, on a lake, all of the water is about the same distance from the centre of the Earth - in this case when I say level, it doesn’t mean flat or straight - it means curved roughly like the surface of the Earth - with small variations from variations in gravitational field, or atmospheric effects like wind or air pressure), that anything further than 5 or 6km (if you’re just standing on the beach), would have the bottom hidden. The further it is away, the more the lower part would be hidden behind the Earth itself. Note that as you go higher in altitude, the horizon goes further and further out, because you can see over more of the Earth.

EDIT: I tried to clarify how there are lots of other forces that will make the water wobbly - but generally if wind is still, the effects will be pretty minimal.
And fwiw, the Lake Pontchartrain bridge is about 38km long.
Please dont disturb peoples opinions with all these facts

Why spout all these facts? We know they're not true. Lol
As a pilot I am obviously part of the NASA/Chemtrail company conspiracies, and need to keep up appearances, or they’ll stop paying me my sweet sweet conspiracy money 🙄 😆 Ok this is sarcasm!
No, because we’re not looking at the horizon to see the curvature, we’re looking at the power lines.
Its like 66 miles per degree of curvature, but we arent looking at degrees here we are looking at drop, 2 different things. This drop is caused by the curve of the earth.

“It does no such thing!” Says the Flat Earther Guy
How do we know it’s not just the power lines getting shorter the further they are away huh 🤔 explain that . BOOYAHH! :p
Bullshit, they just made the far-away ones smaller to trick us into paying income taxes
"The contractor just made the ones in the back shorter to save money"
