You can sail from Pakistan to Russia in a straight line. But, but, how … !?

not the shortest route and not a straight line
“not the shortest route . . .”
Non Sequitur.
” . . . and not a straight line”
Correct. It is a great circle, although a great circle gives the illusion of being a straight line by dead reckoning navigation.
sailing in a straight line is a non Sequitur too..
Would be a much quicker gif if they showed the planet as it truly is….,i.e. flat,just saying.
???I dunno, the whole video my computer screen stayed flat….
Btw, For those who think the world is a spherical, how come when I unfold a map of the world I can lay it flat on my table???
Then according to you the world is neither flat or round because it has mountains and valleys which are neither flat or round.
Illogical logic!
Yes/no. Yes some parts are steeper than others. No, I thought you had me till I found this old beauty. That still lays flat, even if there is a cliff, lol
Uh oh!… by all the thumbs down votes it’s obvious that showing a flat plane(t) would scare them; just like their showing of a Baal earth worries us, right?
My Webster’s dictionary definition of planet: to lead astray – 1. flat.
The Hebrew word, nasa, means: to greatly deceive.
The Bible only acknowledges the sun, moon, and stars. It does not speak of a planet!
All of this is strange…, ‘DON’T YOU THINK?!’
All of this is strange…, ‘DON’T YOU THINK?!’
No. The Bible is not the entirety of world history. It is the lineage and history of ONE man. There are many things the Bible does not speak of. But they still exist. You are beating the air and manipulating in an effort to convince many uneducated, like the Middle Ages, to be superstitious and believe all the outright lies the facts, science, exploration have debunked decades ago. Beware kiddies, it’s the gov pushing this at the top cuz what they want is a country of uneducated assholes they totally control.
> “The Bible is not the entirety of world history.”
I didn’t say that it was.
> “There are many things the Bible does not speak of. But they still exist.”
If one were to THINK about it, it is curious that the Creator DOES SPEAK OF His creation of the heavens, the Earth, the sun, the moon and the stars. But I guess YOU THINK that He is an absent-minded God and simply left out His creation of planets.
And since YOU THINK and believe that Earth is a planet, why didn’t the Bible simply say, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the PLANETS – Genesis 1:1?! Answer? Because planets are ‘man’s creation…, NOT God’s!
> “ You are beating the air and MANIPULATING in an effort to convince many uneducated, like the Middle Ages, to be superstitious and believe all the outright lies the facts, science, exploration…”
The very root word of the term “plane(t)” is plane, which means FLAT/LEVEL. The term sea LEVEL is the norm, NOT sea CURVE.
No, I’m not the idiot that uses the term for flat things (plane-t) and call them spheres, globes, or balls. NASA has “lead you astray” on that STUPIDITY!
AGAIN… Webster’s definition of planet is “to lead astray”. The “word” (not an acronym) nasa is Hebrew meaning: “to greatly deceive.”
> “Debunked decades ago”???
Don’t make me laugh at your gullibility! Why don’t you take Yuval Noah Harari’s, your mentor’s advice, and apply it – “just a fictional story”? Since you have apparently read and understand the Bible (as you have corrected and instructed me), do you remember that it says,
“Let God be true, but every man a liar.”
> “Human rights – a fictional story”???
What a poor and pathetic specimen of humanity you must be to believe that one imperfect man has the authority over another man’s life! I will NEVER understand your SLAVE MENTALITY.
Give ME freedom, or give me DEATH!
Here we go…again!
LOL 🙂

How people respond to this particular theory reminds me a great deal of how people responded to the flu hoax. Hauntingly similar, in fact.
Cool video.
One of my all time favorite comedies. Rodney Dangerfield was classic and Bill Murray did a lot of improvisation, especially his scenes with Chevy.
No I can’t.
1. I am not in Pakistan.
2. I do not own a sailboat.
3. I cannot afford the fuel.
4. I get sea sick very easily.
5. I also don’t think I can sail upside down.
you forgot to include
6. When you sail between Madagascar and the SE coast of Africa, pirates will commandeer your boat and toss you overboard, perhaps first eating your spleen
7. One day a week I am subject to being blown off course as I would not be able to do anything for myself. Adding to my fuel cost of course.
But why would you want to?
1. A clean bathroom with a sit down toilet.
2. Cheap Wodka not made in a bathtub that doesn’t make you blind…at least permanently.
3. It safer to hold a wedding in Russia than in Pakistan especially with my invite list.
Two of the world’s biggest latrines……
Technically not a straight line in 3 dimensions…
I don’t get the point. You could FLY from point A to point B IN A STRAIGHT LINE faster! So what?
It’s just one of those obscure gee-whiz factoids, sort of like Reno, NV is farther west longitudinally than Los Angeles
Oh… okay… gee-whiz!
You could walk it faster in the opposite direction. Probably a far safer trip too.
The biggest country between Russia and the USA is Canada.
Nonsense. I can’t sail anywhere without the boat.
but, but, but, there be dragons there, before we fall off the edge of the earth. Believe what they ‘teach’ you!
(There are no ice walls in the oceans. lol)
When do we commence the witch & heretic burning? Worked last time. Right?
