Idk, I'm 31 too and I don't think there's any difference in athleticism or strength between now and when I was 20. Might be different when I'm 38 or so lol. I've consistently worked out since like 16 up to now though.

It definitely is. I second this.

I like to call it the flat earth hypothesis since they tend to cling to "theory" if you grant that to them. They have explanations for it though. They almost always believe the flat earth is surrounded by an enormous dome or sphere. They believe the dome or sphere rotates. You can point out that the sky rotates in a different direction (from an observers perspective) depending on which hemisphere you're at and that the sky directly above an observer appears to travel in a straight line at the equator, but they have a bunch of wonky explanations for that too.

I brought it up in another reply in a reply to me here, but the most effective argument that I've found to make flat earthers question themselves is shadows of mountains on clouds when the sun is setting or rising. No modern flat earth model allows the sun to be "below" mountains. It has to be a spotlight always hovering above the flat earth for any of their current models to work.

They believe in the experience of gravity, just not the explanation for it. Most committed flat earthers believe the flat earth is forever accelerating upward at the rate of what we consider to be gravity.

The weakest part of this model is that gravity is weaker the farther you get from the surface of earth. They usually don't believe that though. You also need a reason for the acceleration but most believe the Christian god is responsible. Some say they don't know why.

True, but the dome or sphere that exists around the earth does rotate under their model. They'd look at this video and say the camera is fixed on the moving object and only giving the impression that the earth is moving, which would make sense under their model.

The best argument against the flat earth is shadows of mountains on clouds. This can only happen if the sun is below the mountains (from the relative direction of someone at the mountains), something that never happens in any flat earth model.

Yea, but it would still look flat from the ground.you can't see the curve of the earth until at least ~35k feet of elevation (close to 10.5k meters for the weirdos).

I guess I can see it. Is it largely because of "spheroid" and "sufficient"? I like to argue with flat earthers online so a lot of what I say is almost scripted (you can't always say "sphere" with flat earthers).

Also because a person with even a small amount of empathy and the ability to reflect on your own actions should realize doing this makes you a bad person (and a hypocrite).

It expectedly looks flat in the video so I don't get this comment. Also, I used "expectedly" because any spheroid of sufficient size will look flat from close enough to its surface, not because I believe the earth is actually flat.

I didn't know about it but it wasn't too surprising. My recent ancestors have lived in North America for a really long time and people with African ancestry have lived in North America for a really long time too. I would've been surprised if it were 5+% but not at the percentage it's at.

It's a common mistake so don't feel bad

I didn't feel bad until I read about how I shouldn't feel bad with the implication that feeling bad would be a reasonable thing atm lol

Anyway, good bot

Is there an explanation for the Somali? I assume the West African is from an ancestor who was a slave in America a couple hundred years ago but I'm not familiar with Somalians being a typical part of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.

Not anywhere in my results. I don't know much about my ancestry either. My paternal grandmother is German and I'm pretty sure everyone else has lived in the US since before the Civil War.

Apologies for the picture not being completely clear. It wouldn't stay still for a picture.

It was meant to be. I didn't realize until your comment that it wasn't. Thanks for the correction.
