I just hit 100 hours of listening to flat earth podcasts
It started as a joke, but after hearing the same three arguments about Antarctica for the 20th time, I realized they never talk about how planes fly. What's the most common thing you hear people miss in these talks?

Yeah, they never explain flight paths over the southern hemisphere at all.

Check flightaware for real time southern routes.

Totally, that "never explain" part is so true. I tried to follow one once and the map just gave up.

Wait, what do you mean they never explain them? The paths are just great circle routes. They look weird on a flat map. The shortest way between two places down there often goes further south than you'd think. The maps don't give up, they just show the real curved path. It's basic navigation.
