What's the flat earth explanation for time zones?
So the way time zones work is because the sun can only hit one side of the earth at a time.
O <-sun
| <-sunlight I guess?
o <-earth
This makes it dark one one side and light on the other.
With a flat earth, we'd have
O <-sun
| <-sunlight
__ <- a flat earth?
Which would make it day all over at one time, then night all over at another time, instead of different times like there are.
EXPLAIN THIS, FLAT EARTHERS
P.S. Excuse my crappy diagrams. I don't draw very well.
Update: these responses are hilarious. Also, I'm kinda trending. Kinda. Not really. A little bit.

1 ReplyI don't get the real flat earthers, sure maybe the earth isn't round, but why do they think it's flat? That evidence could also be "faked."

And it's one of those round ice cream sandwiches, like two round cookies with ice cream in the middle, not the rectangle ones. It's been left in the freezer too long so you have ice buildup from the frost burn and it's pretty dried out. Orbiting around this ice cream sandwich are dippin' dots, and the dippin' dots are of various sizes and flavors. When someone opens the freezer, they pick up the ice cream sandwich all excited, bit then they see the frost burn, the ingredients, and they toss it back onto the freezer. When the freezer opens up, the light comes on and makes daytime. When the freezer is closed, the light turns off to make night time. The person who owns the freezer is on a diet and constantly stands with it open, debating whether to eat the ice cream sandwich. This happens on a regular basis creating the day night cycle.

4 RepliesEdited by Krishnas Prophet: 8/24/2017 8:18:48 PMTime zones are relative zones that people impose on the earth. Interesting fact: China is just one big time zone, and I believe it is larger than the US from east to west. If you are in Shanghai (in the east) at 2pm, off in the western reaches of the country it will have the light of mid-late morning, but still be 2pm. This goes to show that "zones" of time are man made, and make it so Joe in Alaska doesn't have to go to work at night. Yes, I also get it that there are "natural" zones in terms of where the sun is shining at any given time of day. This works on the Flat Earth due to Variable Luminosity: the sun does not emit light equally in all directions. It acts more as a spotlight. Another user posted a link to my blog, which explains more about day/night and seasonal cycles. Feel free to take a look.

4 RepliesLook it up on Google. I get you want to talk to Krishna, but why should he waste time explaining the simplest shit you can look up on your own. Especially when he's already got this shit spelled out on his blog: https://flatearthandthought.com/2017/01/17/question-how-do-daynight-cycles-and-seasons-work-on-a-flat-earth/
