I always see it the other way around. The ones who believe we live on a ball get their ass handed to them

He had to have been since he spent at least 4 years in, I had all the time in the world to talk to him and visit his legal pot-growing house, and I never could figure out what made his flat-earth clock, tick.

If the earth was flat, it would either be daytime everywhere in the world or nighttime everywhere in the world. Instead you have situations where it is daytime in Europe while night in the U.S. That is impossible on a flat earth. And the more flat earthers try to explain that away through invented tricks, the more holes get opened up in their model. Nothing is consistently explained by a flat earth.

I was always convinced the Flat Earth stuff was a Deep State disinformation/mind control experiment.
Now they have moved on to convincing the gullible that mutilating of human bodies and children is good for everyone.

Ask a flat-earth believer where the edge of the Earth is. If it’s flat, it has to have an edge.
Go visit the edge and look over it.

Wait till you talk to one, they have an answer for everything and are unshakable.
Like this article, they are sincerely shocked when an obvious experiment doesn’t work out for them.

Or not mutilating, the statement that you just became a woman is all the proof that some need to believe that you are now a woman, the authorities will actually switch you to a woman’s prison with the penis and all, just on the statement.

A mechanical gyroscope uses the resistance to torque of a spinning object to measure movement. The toy referenced by that other guy isn't even a measuring device, it merely demonstrates the principle. An navigation grade mechanical gyroscope is very precisely machined, uses exceptionally low friction bearings, is often housed in a vacuum chamber, is driven by very quiet motors, and uses very sensitive electromechanical sensing devices to measure its resistance to motion. It costs tens of thousands of dollars, not the $3 and change the other guy mentioned.
A LASER ring gyro measures the interference pattern between two LASER beams being guided by circular optical fibers in opposite directions. Rotational motion induces a phase shift between the two beams. Depending on size and required precision the cost can be tens of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. It uses very precise electro-optical sensors to measure that interference. Last time I checked (about 15 years ago), the SDN500 Inertial Navigation System cost in the neighborhood of $30,000.
