A Third Of Millennials Aren’t Sure The Earth Is Round

wife has 2 kids...... one with a masters degree, one working on a masters degree ....... their father has a masters degree

we're talking 3 people with a combined 17 years of higher education.......

ZERO understanding of the most basic fundamentals of simple mechanics, physics, weather......... can't read maps........ don't know why the washing machine dances across the floor........ mystified by electricity......... the list is ******* endless!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if it weren't for us uneducated types, these idiots would all ******* starve! :cursin:





lmao.....I don't remember this.... I wonder what set me off?
 
I’ve never met anyone who thinks the world is flat, then again i would never ask such a ricdiculous question, which brings me to the thought of it’s just another excuse for a particular group to make fun,complain about another group
But... they even made conventions and all that stuff, with all due respect Steve, ignorance is a lost battle, not saying that this or the other generation is ignorant, but this issue comes from fathers to son's, and so on and so on, like those ignorant that believe that vaccination is wrong, and end up with sick kids, by a disease easyly prevented by a vaccine, not you not me, we all get our propper dossis, but today generation seems inclined to believe these nonsense and stupidity, no, we are not doomed by today's kids, look at the other side of the coin, 2/3 believe the earth is round like us, their going to be the best doctors, scientific, engineer, etc this generation or the next is going to set foot on Mars, because the best of us teach the best of them, imo.

I like that. -I stopped and spent some time at the Bonneville salt flats.
It is awesome. It is flat according to gravity. But at ten miles out a standing man will be over the horizon. (out of the line of sight). In my world the salt "flats" are curved.:drinks:

Several times in my life's work that calculation was essential in projects I worked on.
A flat earthers may question this stuff when they cross long bridges (for example)
But they do get to the other side and never feel the curve.:)
Stand out on the beach at the ocean. The curvature is well apparent.

But, then again, ships in the distance seem to just disappear. Maybe, they do fall off the edge.

The "edge" is the end of reality for them. A closed mind is a hobbled mind. May those that chose to live in comfort in the world of their choice not tell others how to avoid falling off the edge.

if your not living on the edge your taking up too much room
 
I remember when we lived in Canada before moving here, it was 1960 and I was 4. My father and I were in the car and the sun was setting and I asked him if we were going to drive off the end of the earth like the sun was. He looked at me and said, the earth is round it just looks that way. Done!!! I wasn't sure at 4 how it worked, but I was smart enough to believe my father. It's called learning and faith in what someone says.

Back in the day, in the streets of Brooklyn, any girl who was not ample breasted, was called "flat". Like Twiggy.
 
My wife, daughter & I went to the UK, France & Italy a few months ago. My daughter is 16 and this was her first time in Europe. We hit London, Paris, Nice, Florence, Rome, & Sicily. Now keep in mind that my kid has pink (or blue or green) hair, a nose-ring and wears black T Shirts with punk band logos. A typical moody teen that only emerges from her lair for Pizza Rolls.

On our first day in London we're walking and she says "we gotta eat here, Vladimir loves it" Turns out that Vlad is a pal she plays video games with from San Diego. He was right, it was great curry. Then the next day she wants to go Mud-Larking in the Thames. Having seen people finding Roman pottery, smoking pipes, & such in the mud on YouTube. Said she wanted to find rubble from the German Blitzes. I corrected her "The Blitz" But she says "No, both the WW1 Zepplin Raids AND the WW2 campaigns" ----- I was surprised & impressed.

Nearly everywhere we went she knew the history and some people there too. We met up with a girl she knew in Rome, she knew the art in Florence, and pointed out Hammurabi's Code stone pillar from across the room in the Louvre.

In Sicily she was looking at graffiti and said that some piece of incomprehensible scrawl was done by a kid she knew who was an Anti-Mafia activist . She said his dad ran a coffee joint near the Opera House. Later we were in that area and she said "there it is" Sure enough, it was.

Is she the brightest kid among her friends? Frankly, no. A C+ to B- student, at best. The thing is that many modern kids, due to the web, gaming, and social media know more people & facts worldwide, than me or my peers ever did. I was impressed as hell. I didn't think she knew anything.

Btw, One of my kid's friends (another piercings & combat boots chick) is very active with a group of engineers who do well & water projects for small villages in Central America. One of the many goals is improving their lives enough to lessen the desire to trek to, and seek refuge in, the US. Another kid, one she skateboards with, spends hours on Google Earth scouring the globe for previously unknown archaeological sites. He's found quite a few good leads and is in contact with universities all over the world.

But my impression of that sketchy-looking punk was that I wouldn't hire him to work a corndog stand.

Yes. Haven't they been in a boat. You go off shore fishing and you look at the coast, you can't see the beach but you see the hills.
Doesn't take a PHD
 
Maybe the ones who think that the world is flat should go to the edge and take some selfies!
 
Can you imagine the dire predictions of what it would be like when the children of the '60s grew up?
