Herr GnortsAn explanation of how the northern Pole Star works on Flat Earth.
Spoiler: It doesn't. Earth is round. Grow up.
Don't think for a second I feel like I *have* to make a video like this. Actual, active Flat Earthers are delusional morons, special snowflakes, willfully stupid egomaniacs or simply common thugs and bullies who never grew up and wish they could still extort lunchmoney from kids with brains - a tiny shit stain on humanity.
I just had not done anything new recently in the field of programming gfx/animations and these explainers are a nice exercise.

Light source is a common desk lamp with halogen refractor, btw.Autumn Equinox 2017: SunsetHerr Gnorts2017-09-25 | I wasn't able to find a location with an unobstrcuted view of the horizon as I also wanted to include a visual indication of West. This was fairly improvised. The town rises a fair bit towards the direction I was facing - thus, "my" sunset there was way before 19:20. - Read more:

As the big Solar Eclipse event is nearing (of which I'm not going to see one bit, sadface), I thought I'd address what already pops up in comment sections: How it's "impossible" for the moon's shadow to move east on the Earth rotating east. Spoiler: it's not.
A couple of things to note:
This visualisation was initially just something I did to compare real world observations and data from timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html with a to-scale model in actual 3D. And It should be noted that - to the surprise of no normal person - any and everything checks out all the time.
I only later added animation for fun and I didn't concern myself with a lot of details; the reality is more complicated, and elliptical and wobbly. Earth and the Moon's orbit *can* be tilted in this model but we don't need any of this here. What we need is the correct scale of distances, sizes and rotating/orbiting speeds and this is all present.
I also show !!a!! solar eclipse, not the upcoming one. Aaaand I forgot to show a good angle of the moon. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/esOkENJ.png
Warning to flattards: Should any of this openly and truthfully stated points (you're likely not familiar with honesty) make you feel so inclined to leave an obfuscating or gaslighting comment without addressing the content presented, consider your comment removed.
As I'm rather solely interested in the visual aspect of things, a more thorough take on Solar Eclipses VS Flat Earth can be found on Sly Sparkane's channel here: youtube.com/watch?v=dgj--6EX-RE - with the added bonus of exposing the lies of the FE gurus.
Stay sane!

(the original quote refers to America. While extremely appropriate - as of yesterday, the hateful, stupid buffoon is in charge - the ignorance is breeding everywhere)A Mountain of Evidence?Herr Gnorts2016-09-05 | This is a response to Jon McIntyre's Flat Earth - A Mountain of Evidence
I'm not using or explaining his almost 1 hour video in mine - the gist of it is this: Three mountains In North Carolina happen to have the almost same height (5400 ft) and are roughly in line over a total distance of 40 miles. The camera is on Tennet Mountain, looking over Fryingpan towards Graybeard Mountain. Using 8'' x miles², Graybeard's drop from Fryingpan Mountain is calculated (http://i.imgur.com/0Bk6nNf.jpg) and it is concluded that it should be well obscured behind Fryingpan Mountain. But Oh, Surprise! Much to the joy of Flatearthers, it is not: http://i.imgur.com/X6emiWN.jpg
Is Jon the Bringer of Truth and Ultimate Proof? Flat Earth's Messiah to walk on Flat Waters? Or is his Mountain of Evidence a Pile of Shit? Let's find out!
(Initially, this was just meant as an image to accompany a response on his thread. I had pointed out the boring old fallacy of calculating visibility with the 8 inches formula - but that got quickly deleted. So I had to put my extended response in a place where his Cognitive Dissonance can not click buttons)
Link to the image I'm scrolling through in the video: http://i.imgur.com/l2G9L0j.jpg
But hey, Kudos to the title! And Jon, I'm kind of sorry that your literal blood, sweat and a lot of work amounts to nothing but maybe it's about time to arrive in the 15th century. So fed up with this moronic shit.
Also, I was playing this nice, at first. But yet again, here is "someone who loves the pursuit of truth" while sealing himself off from any kind of reality check like comments that might challenge his silly beliefs.

There are probably a lot of other videos like this out there, but I had fun putting it together, so why not publish... After starting to work on it, I had come across the channel of M Goudsmits (youtube.com/channel/UCWbGxbcxMBjUVjrLMIk_HQw) and the Seattle example was too great to not also use it. So, there goes some credit.
