They have to be trolling, right? There's no way a flat earther thinks water can bend like that.
"the earth is flat since water is always level, oh except water mountains"
Actually, i could imagine a flat earther would say that now that i think about it
Yeah, you're right. Why am I expecting any soft of consistency in their train of thought. lol
What is a tide if not a wide and mobile water hill?
Also nowadays we have such accurate satellites that we can actually see the tiny increases in elevation of the sea level that reflect the topology of the sea floor.
Satellites notice the tiny "water mountains" which indicate the topology of the sea floor, and then they scan the place better with equipment on boats.

But yeah, I really think "water mountains" is a bit on a exaggeration to that phenomena.
Yes. And I love that picture.
The "gummy squirrel"? Damn, marine biologists get to have all the fun naming all these animals on top of spending so much time at sea! I'm starting to regret my life choices.

Now that you asked, I wonder how flat earthers explain tides.
They don't
water mountains
....water mountains...
like... gotta be a troll. please.
I want to know there isn't a single person on this planet that is that fucking dumb.
Is a tide not a kind of water hill?
imagine if you could, a water mountain or hill as frozen in time..... you could wave at it, right?
There no way an earther could water bend either, unless they’re the avatar or something.
Goddamn weebs gonna weeb. (Avatar <3 )
It's an American series I think.
Yup, Nickelodeon original.
Oh you sweet summer child. If they understood basic physics they wouldn't be a flat earther.
That's all you need to remember.
