This is a graphical representation of statistical analysis as performed by Donald Trump. A single data point, highly localized phenomena, comprehensible only in the most miniscule sense.
And it’s not even the correct measurement tool. This just proves the ground is level WRT gravity. The earth could be flat on an angle WRT gravity and that bubble would be off.
So, just like Trump, using a hand grenade to write poetry.
trumps tiny hand doesnt even have the strength to pull the pin.
That doesn’t mean it’s flat.
That means it’s level. You could find a level point on a baseball, too, if you balanced the level on it.
TIL baseballs are flat.
Reddit called, they want their partypooper back :-)
Are the oceans carbonated?
Flat ocean theory vs fizzy ocean theory
Checkmate, Atheists!
The most compelling argument I’ve seen yet.
What is that abomination and how does it work
how does it work?
It doesn’t.
Do you know, I think it might. If the ball is weighted on the bottom, it will still sit at a slight angle, if the surface it sits on is at an angle. And being spherical, it can then detect slopes in any direction.
It feels like the instrument is either too small or the most precise instrument in the known universe and all its known history.
How do you tell how big it is? There’s no size reference at all.
It can show you if there is a slope, maybe. If it is properly weighted then it wouldn’t even do that.
If it’s properly weighted, I think it will show you the slope. Imagine a circle on a sloped line, weighed at the bottom. If the circle is upright, so the weight is at the bottom, the point of contact is a bit above the bottom of the circle.
The direct distance from the point of contact to the bottom of the circle has to be less than along the perimeter; also the angle to the circle’s bottom has to be shallower than that of the slope.
Therefore, if the circle rolls down until the weight (that used to be the bottom) is now the point of contact, the point of contact travels a distance along the slope equal to that arc (perimeter) of the circle. The new point of contact must therefore now be lower than the bottom of the circle was before.
So the circle will come to rest with the weight at the point of contact (or above?), i.e. the circle is now tilted. Similarly, the ball with a weight near the bottom will sit tilted on a sloped surface.
Try a longer and larger tube.
That… would show the same result.
So when will you all just accept the science then?

Now take that level on an airplane BOOM more confirmed.
That would be flat aeroplane, not flat earth. Aeroplanes are made of metal. Earth is made of earth.
Facts
That is usually one of the main proofs that earth is flat. The pilot doesn’t have to keep lowering the plane in order not to fly higher, the fly completely level, yet the plane flies in a curve around the earth.
Well to be fair the earth is really really really big.
Flat earthers have no sense of scale.
…but it has to go like nuts to stop falling out of the sky ?
I think one would still believe in gravity, just not the same way as normal people. It would have to be a constant field “downward” rather than masses attracting.
Planes can obviously go fast enough to counteract gravity…
Seems on the level.
you jest but the model to be used is the simplest model that works in practice (to make useful predictions). Since most use-cases are machine building and construction, the curvature of the earth rarely matters. as such, “the earth is flat” is often the best model for a task. a spherical earth only really matters if you’re dealing with either world-wide trade, geopolitics, or astronomy.
This is just silly. It just means the earth is flat there. You need to repeat this everywhere on the earth and then we’ll know the whole earth is flat. Or at least do it in a few different places hundreds of miles apart.
And then sweep it with a repeat-o-meter to make sure you didn’t miss anything off the Union Jack pattern!
Well if you averaged out the distance from the centre of the Earth over the whole world - it would be absolutely flat…
No, that just proves it’s leveled. :P
But a sphere can’t be level, so it must be flat
Now you’re just splitting hairs. Bad faith argument.
Yeah but which level? Are on earth -1??
I knew it! Now to prove that earth is a cheeto!
We need to pump it back up. Is earth presta or schrader?
My pump does both so we should be ok
Korhaka, we’re gonna need your pump
Can we at least rinse it first?
No
I think you have to blow it up stronger than that. There’s some movies about it.
Well it’s not carbonated
San Pellegrino Italy, Gerolsteiner Germany, Vichy Catalan Spain and Manitou Springs United States of America want to know if you’re on the level.
You take that back, earth chan is not flat!
(For those who don’t get it, it was a funny meme like 10 years ago)
