Strix, did you invent a new word, "anitmeridian?"

Please get your quotes in check. In both senses - you are quoting whatever instead of who and what you actually mean, and you seam to read wrong too.

And no. I didn't invent "anitmeridian", or even "antimeridian" as I wrote it.

 

[Codeman93]

your balls are done?

The meatballs yes, my balls never stop

 

[hotoldrguy]

Right. So Lindi does get to "tomorrow" because of the anti meridian before the rest of the globe (relative to that line)
Also known as the International Date Line

I am just going to keep using my world clock on the phone

I do know Greenich Mean time and Zulu........

 

[Strixaluco]

@Lindi37 darling, I can't PM you - would you perhaps PM me?

 

[drobert44]

I do know Greenich Mean time and Zulu........

Strix, when you awake at 0600, in Iraq, and you have a cheap radio on a bunker, and its the BBC! O hell yes.........

 

[hotoldrguy]

Right. But Lindi gets to tomorrow before you (in Scandinavia)
and you get to tomorrow before me (and everyone else in North and South America)
It's cause the globe turns (obviously you know and understand this)
Errr... any flat earthers here? Don't wanna screw up your jam

today is tomorrow's yesterday

 

[Strixaluco]

Greenwich. It's Greenwich. And time zones and mediridians are not exactly the same. Even Greenwich time is not exactly the same as prime meridian, though the latter is derived from the former.

There are more meridian terms than you were taught in school.

I don't wake at 0600 nor in Iraq. Even less in a bunker.

Ugh don't mention flat earthers I've had to argue with one before it's not worth the time or effort.

It's really hard to take them seriously.

Omg flat earthers.

 

[cascadiabound]

I would never take them seriously.

 

[Codeman93]

Omg flat earthers.

I would never take them seriously.

I stand by the theory that if earth was flat half of us would have tried to jump off it already

 

[Strixaluco]

I would never take them seriously.

I've never managed to either

You are also super smart! ( I just told Cas the same thing. That she is smart).

 

[Strixaluco]

Or would have just fallen out of plain stupidity.

 

[shenglung]

Omg flat earthers.

It's even worse if there family... I so wish they had just been trolling me

 

[Strixaluco]

I'd often gladly exchange some of my smartness for better executive functions.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

Omg flat earthers.

I once had a neighbor who attached a spirit level to a telescope and mounted it in the bed of his truck. He'd drive around town "proving" to people that the earth was flat because when you looked out at the horizon, the level was completely horizonal

 

[cascadiabound]

Or would have just fallen out of plain stupidity.

Can we just push them off?
Or persuade them the earth is a turtle?

Geographically Finland is not part of Scandinavia. Scandinavia is made up of three countries, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Finland, Iceland, The Faroe Islands & Scandinavian countries form the Nordic region. (Parts of Greenland too)

Omg I almost peed myself reading that

My aunt’s niece is a flat earther. They have meetings
