So why were you trolling? To waste our time? Because you're bored?teo123 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 8:59 am OK, before anybody gets misled, I was trolling. Here is why ships do not appear to lean as they go over the horizon: they do, but the horizon at the sea level is around 5 km away, whereas the circumference of the Earth is 40'000 kilometers. So, they lean at the angle of 5/40000*360=0.045 degrees, which is imperceptible. It's the same fallacy as the "Horizon appears to rise with you as you climb." argument.

Teo, you need to find better things to do with your time. Did you graduate yet? Do you have a job? Any prospects or anything over the horizon?

I'm glad Teo finally acknowledged he's bored/lonely and here to troll. @Red I'm wondering if he needs a nemesis to counter-troll him while forum traffic is low. The poor kid clearly needs a pen pal. And BrimstoneSalad seems to be busy.

Re: A discussion on TFES forum
I would counter troll him (as I have done a few times before) but nowadays I just don't have the energy nor can be bothered really to even have much of a discussion with him. I could have responded to his point but ai just don't wanna waste so much time to argue with a position he doesn't even hold in the first place.
@brimstoneSalad's busy yeah but I don't think he has the patience to debate with Teo for another 40 pages anyway.

Well, not all massacre denialism is the same. What do you think, did Varivode Massacre really happen? I mean, unlike for Vukovar Massacre, there are no witnesses or a mass grave. I have made a post with a few more arguments against Varivode Massacre having happened.Red wrote:massacre denialism

By the way, what do you think, was my mental illness caused by or at least exacerbated a lot by me going to a too difficult university? Should I drop out?
