You can measure it yourself, you just need a stick & a piece of string.

It's simple to prove the earth is round just look at a falling water droplet it is almost perfectly round  because of the little known property of matter to atract matter  AKA gravity so the molecules atract eachother  and a falling object feels no gravity this is why the vomit commet plain is able to induce waitlessness  the same principle applies to the earth that is "falling" towards the gravity of the sun this is why we feel our weight on earth but the earth is weightless in space, in relation to the sun. Also this is why earth's gravity still atracts the space station but because it is falling around the earth it feels weightless.

1) Look at the earth's shadow on the moon

 

2) take a picture of the night sky straight up, and identify constellations. Contact someone on what is 'apparently' the other side of the world, and have them take a picture of the night sky straight up. Compare and repeat as necessary

This shit shouldnt be happening in the information age. Of course there is much bullshit to parse and cull. Although, you can practically learn to build your own tractor engine if you were so inclined. Or teach your self any practical.science (if one had the time). It has never been in human history a more glorious moment to be an autodidact. I've saved a shot ton of money alone by learning how to renovate. Or I've skipped the fraudulance of a shaddy mechanic by learning about my car issue. There is a literal abundance and wealth of info availible to us IN OUR POCKETS!!! ..To not get overly fooled by silly conspiracy fads.

The problem is that there is SO MUCH information, you can have pretty much any opintion, and still find enough 'information' to back you up with confirmation bias.

Once tried to get a flat-earther to explain how GPS works. It was all done by cell towers and triangulation. When I asked how do ships use it in the open sea. It was big satellite dishes on the ships that pick up the cell tower signals from land. When I asked about small boats that only have a small hand held GPS receiver he didn't have an answer and just proceeded to have a hissy fit. 

It's pointless trying to prove it to them. Even if you could take them to orbit it would be a some kind of simulation with anti gravity technology that makes you float. Anything but a round ball.

People are locked into their beliefs and presenting them with clear, often obvious facts that clearly demonstrate they are completely wrong is a waste of time.

 

There is a school of thought which insists that Kate Upton is fat. I happen to prefer relatively thin women, it just gives them room to grow before they get hefty. However, Kate Upton although a bit solid in her abdomen does not appear to me to be fat in any way. A friend insists she's fat and nothing can convince him that isn't true. I just chalk it up to diverse opinion. In actuality, she COULD be fat and with her huge bombs along with likely plum juggling skills, she would still be a goddess.

She's fat. But she's also sexy. It's a rare thing. Fat girls with great boobs can be both.

I think this is a bit different. Fat = overweight = high BMI. Clearly not Kate.

 

Unless you are using the 'subjective' fat, in which case there is literally no point in arguing as it is 100% objective.

You could, in displaying a diverse opinion, adhere strictly to a thinking which holds that any excess amount of adipose tissue results in labeling her as "Fat". Clearly the added adipose tissue which she displays with her mammoth mammaries simply adds to even any small amount of it which she carries elsewhere on her frame. Actually, fuck it. She's not fat, she's molten hot.
