do I go east orwest
I’m dead
Cash u a genius
Bwoy yawl niggas is from da souf
Man Hell naw.
How the fuck am I going to get to the international date line quicker going east if I’m already west of the prime meridian ?
Nigga that mao proved me right
Going west past Hawaii would get me to nap quicker
u saying going the opposite way thru Africa Europe and Asia would get me ti jap faster?
foh

I can most definitely answer this: westbound, we go through the Panama Canal. Depending on the vessel, you may refuel once you're out of the locks. From three, it's roughly a three week journey. I don't know how many knots however.
He's clearly on something. I sail for a living but he knows about traveling the earth because he saw some videos. Man, I done ran through four passports. Not to mention shell backing, past the prime meridian, N Pole. I don't have blue nose but I hit 60 south.
And he keeps posting planispheres which are based on a round earth.
Now the shits entertaining so I'm good.

No nigga, if you leave Japan you go East (North East, pass Alaska and then because you're on a flat plane, you end up going Southeast to Texas.
I can tell you that all JAPAN FLIGHTS go west.
I doubt it. You travel east to get to the so-called Western Hemisphere, yeah.
Obviously I meant USA flight
but u saying why are there no flights that gostraight over the North Pole to get to japan
Cash I gat all night
do u?
do u?
I doubt it.
Cash why isn’t the IDL a straight line but the prime meridian is?
Naw not really, I got a project to wrap up for a meeting in the AM.
See that? No experience. Go pick any US carrier. Delta, United, etc. Book a flight to any city in Japan. Screen shot it. Or don't. Holler back.
No, you don't want to travel east bound to Japan. That trip would SUCK.
A engineer meeting?
We would melt if we went over the North Pole from the UV rays and van Allen belts
and don’t let it be northern lights season
"The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on Earth's surface defining the boundary between one day and the next. The dateline runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and marks the divide between the Western and Eastern Hemisphere. It is not straight but zigzags to avoid political and country borders and to not cut some countries in half." - https://www.timeanddate.com/time/dateline.html
I mean, both are imaginary lines like country maps, essentially.

Okay. I can't argue sth I don't know about. But yeah, flights do travel near Alaska to reach Asia. It roughly makes if you imagine the circular distance of traveling straight. But there's a real reason why planes go that route. I did watch a YouTube video about it. What's strange is that you'll see 16 hours of daylight. Don't know if the seasons matter but yeah, one way constant daylight.
He's actually right (for once). On a ship, we advance or retard clocks around to the time zone. But he quoted well here.
nope.
So all you gotta do is go on a football field, walk 50 yards on the sideline, make a 90 degree turn on the 50-yard line, make a another 90-degree turn and walk another 50 yards and you'll be back where you started, right?
No, you would not be back where you started. You would have just walked three sides of a square.
Also, If the earth is flat circle, and I'm standing on it, then if I walk going west AROUND A FLAT CIRCLE I'll end up back where I started. However, you can't do the same going north and south and end up back in the same spot.
You can't walk West around a circle. You're just being stupid now. That's preschool shit.
For instance, based on the inverse square law of light and the supposed distance from the Sun to Saturn, we should not be able to SEE Saturn because the light from the sun would be too dim. Yet we see Saturn in the sky, shining bright, lit evenly across the wondering star, aka planet.
What does the distance from Saturn to the Sun have to do with our ability to see the light? There is indeed light beyond our vision. And the theory states that light spreads at distance not becomes dimmer.
Exactly. You prove my point.
Of course not. You're going to veer northwest. On a sphere you can travel purely west. On a flat circle it will be northwest. It's still a westward direction. This is too simple to argue. Draw a circle on the goddamn floor, follow the outline of the circle and you end up in the same fucking place you started.
Light spreads, which means it's less concentrated, therefore less intense.
"The Law states that the intensity of a source decreases at a ratio inversely proportional to the square of the distance it travels. Basically this means, as the distance doubles, the light intensity decreases by a factor of 4." - https://www.parabolixlight.com/debunking-the-inverse-square-law
The sun in the globe model is omnidirectional, therefore the inverse square law applies. The light would be too dim for us to see Saturn.
Here's a whole presentation on it:

Why does walking in a straight line on a flat disc take you on a circular path though? Shouldn't it just take you...straight? Why the effect of walking in a track on a vinyl record? Would that not require a slight and constant turn in one's path? This happens naturally on a sphere, on a disc there is no physical reason for it, how can this be explained?
And what is the relevance of the cardinal points? Is north the center of the record and south the outside of the record? So south is omnidirectional?
