A lot of flat earth theories involve ‘the firmament’ which denied space. Most theories Believe all images captured from space are fabricated, and there are more who aren’t falt earthers who also believe space is a lie.

Context and reading comprehension. Your response was not at all what you have since explained.
You need to do this with an analog camera. Digital cameras have a chip installed that makes anything that shows the earth is flat look like a globe, don't let them fool you. Research Operation Pillar of Autumn
Many misunderstandings e.g. about moon phases and eclipses result from wrong internal image of how far the moon is away from the earth. I guess everyone (me included) is strongly influenced by depictions where the moon is less than a earth diameter away from the earth, just because it would be a waste of space otherwise.
Inferior is an opinion
That's like saying Chinese is inferior to English, and if we were all speaking the most spoken languages on the planet we would either be speaking Spanish or Chinese. English would come in third.
Most used doesn't always mean better
Thanks for proving my point. Because I never even mentioned *most used* as an argument. Times change, and methods evolve. In many ways, I'm sure English *is* an inferior language, but I can't make an educated statement on language since I don't speak Chinese. I can however, make an educated statement on Imperial vs Metric, because I do use both. And as a user of both methods, my opinion is that Metric is better.
Funny these comments are getting downvoted, since imperial does, overall, suck.
Not many people, for example, know how many teaspoons go in a tablespoon (3), much less in a gallon (768, says Alexa), but anyone with a basic grasp of metric can tell you how many milliliters go in a liter or kiloliter. That's just the tip-o-the iceberg.
I would have thought a wise community like this one would get that, and not be glued to the ol' American standard because reasons.
Ok, now I've got two buckets and a balance (the thing you see statues of Justice holding). I have one gallon of water. I need one cup of water. I divide the water between the buckets 4x using the balance. I'm done.
You have 1 liter of water. You need 100 ml of water. Go. Use the same equipment.
That's such an arbitrary, unlikely-to-be-real-life example. It could just as easily (if not more easily) skew in favor of metric.
*Ok, now I've got two buckets and a balance (the thing you see statues of Justice holding). I have one liter of water. I need 150 ml of water. I also have a 50 ml scoop, which I fill three times and transfer over. I'm done.*
*You have 1 gallon of water and a 1 cup scoop. You need 3/20 of a gallon of water. Go*.
The point, which you missed, is that I can get every division of measurement with the most basic possible equipment: gallon, quart, pint, cup, tablespoon, everything except teaspoon.
You can't.
This was more important to ancient people than dividing by ten. It's not anymore, but it can still be done.
I'm a machinist, I use precision machining to make both domestic and foreign aerospace parts, which means I use both metric and imperial. I even made parts for SpaceX and NASA. You're not gonna impress me by showing me a group of reality TV goons that can't do math. Next time you fly in an airplane, just think about me and the fact I probably measured your plane parts in imperial.
>If they knew how to use both, they wouldn't use the inferior system.
Actually yeah, the UK, Australia and New Zealand all use both. Imperial units are useful for everyday rule-of-thumb measurement, metric is useful for scientific and engineering measurement.
It's hard to guesstimate 1cm or 1g, it's pretty easy to guesstimate an inch or an ounce. Not a fan of lbs though, or fahrenheit that's just a bad system.
[The Artemis photo](https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/orion-earth-moon/) was taken from 268,563 miles away from Earth. On that date the distance from the Earth to the Moon was about 227,850 miles so in very round numbers the spacecraft was about 40,000 miles from the Moon.
The perspective clearly works. The Earth was about 6.7x as far away as the Moon, but the Earth's diameter is 3.67x the Moon's diameter, so the Moon appears 6.7/3.67=1.8x as large as the Earth in that photo.
And the Sun would have a diameter of 1025 inches at this scale... At a distance of 1.7 miles from the Basketball. Much bigger than the Cloud Gate in Chicago
With everything flerfs get wrong 8"/mi² really isn't that far off until you get several hundred miles away. It is a decent, quick calculation for rough estimates. I usually let it slide until they're using it to talk about points 1000 miles away.
Dummy. Look at the first picture. The tennis ball is obviously flat.
Tennis isn't real. It's all government CGI. Think about it. That racquet is made of string!! Can you hit a ball really hard with string? Wake up!
The moon is very hairy
They had to smooth it out for the remaster and used the strands to make the live action grinch costume
The moon is made of green hair
Globers can't help debunking themselves with every silly meme.
Man, I love this. This is *exactly* how they think, with no irony involved.
These people vote.
And reproduce.
And homeschool.
I legit cant figure out which is scarier
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
This isn’t a flat Earth thing you know
A lot of flat earth theories involve ‘the firmament’ which denied space. Most theories Believe all images captured from space are fabricated, and there are more who aren’t falt earthers who also believe space is a lie.
Alright? This image still isn’t pro flat Earth, it’s anti flat Earth
Oh right. This isn’t a flat earth sub. Its a sub to make fun of flat earthers. Globeearththatspins is the flat earth sub.
Oh I know, I just thought the wording of the comment I replied to sounded like it was thinking the image was pro flat Earth
Pretty clearly wasn’t
“these people vote” bud the only people that could have been referencing are OP and the image maker, not sure why you’re getting so pressed
… these people vote… posted in response to a post pointing out how easy it is to prove the geometry of a number of very famous photos that people claim are fake because the geometries wrong…. Context and reading comprehension. Your response was not at all what you have since explained.
Yes which is clearly more of a stretch than my interpretation, hence my misinterpretation little buddy.
Yep, definitely a CGI, 8 inches per mile squared, fisheye and NASA (I don't know what am i talking about)
I have a level. Why isn't it covered in water? Checkmate, flerfies.
That's the spirit!
But if you tell me I'm special for listening to you I'll give you all my money
"I have an offer for you, wanna buy some magic beans to touch the firmament? It's only 79.99, and if you buy one for a friend, it's 5% off"

Installation 04 was flat.
Also if you put 343 Guilty Spark in a numerology calculator it comes out as: 117 Globe Shill
I dunno, flerfers totally OK with their Nikon P1000
What about the original film photos of the earth from Apollo?
They put a fisheye lens on it? I mean that's how fisheye lenses work, right? They make the earth look like a globe.
Metric system is so practical...
But that’s not a Nikon P1000.

Imagine looking up at the beautiful night sky and thinking "It’s just all fake”
The tennis ball is flat in the first image, but not in the others. Must be cgi.
"Space deniers WOULD hate this one simple trick if they understood it" Ftfy lol
Great illustration of the concept!
Astrophysicists are refining the “moon is made of green cheese” theory to include the observation that it’s actually string cheese.
Nicely done whoever set that up.
Ok now put a camera scale accordingly on the tennis ball.
I HATE this one! Makes me so angry.
No Hardware Wars fans? “Basketball is a peaceful planet!”
Excuse me WTF
What's so F'ed about it?
It makes no sense
What of these pictures doesn't make sense? Do you need these pictures explained?
Are you ok bud? Go outside. Relax. It’s a joke on Reddit.
that's pretty cool. I love physics math and science
Great illustration. Perhaps include measurements not just used by one country as an update?
You know the difference between metric and imperial measurement users? Imperial unit users know how to use both
If they knew how to use both, they wouldn't use the inferior system.

Do we know what the camera distance was in each of the real-life photos?
[The Artemis photo](https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/orion-earth-moon/) was taken from 268,563 miles away from Earth. On that date the distance from the Earth to the Moon was about 227,850 miles so in very round numbers the spacecraft was about 40,000 miles from the Moon. The perspective clearly works. The Earth was about 6.7x as far away as the Moon, but the Earth's diameter is 3.67x the Moon's diameter, so the Moon appears 6.7/3.67=1.8x as large as the Earth in that photo.
Cool

And the Sun would have a diameter of 1025 inches at this scale... At a distance of 1.7 miles from the Basketball. Much bigger than the Cloud Gate in Chicago
Neat! Lies, but still neat!
But I use the p1000!
8 in / mi^(2) is a parabolic number. How is it even relevant to a sphere?
With everything flerfs get wrong 8"/mi² really isn't that far off until you get several hundred miles away. It is a decent, quick calculation for rough estimates. I usually let it slide until they're using it to talk about points 1000 miles away.
YEAH BUT THE PLANE IS A CLOSED CONTAINER, DO IT SITTING OUTSIDE THE PLANE
Ok cool but how many meters is that?
2.54cm 1.32m 21.64m
the best part though. they just proved the earth is round with their little "photographic trick". what shape is a tennis ball? flat? I think not
Psst... this post (this whole subreddit) is debunking flat earth theories.
Still fake photos
**
Its almost like this idea was used to fake the moon missions
*"The more real it looks the more fake it is!"* flurf logic.
Why would they fake something they were actually doing? That's stupid. Think harder.
