        Yeah actually we can show this with some pretty simple mathematics and the measuring of shadows at different latitudes.

        Or a Focault pendulum, or a Compass, or a laser pointer and a salt-bed/lake, or a telephoto lens/binocculars of landmarks on the horizon. They all say the same thing.

        This proves itself over and over in my middle school classroom. 🙄 Should I study for the test? ABSOLUTELY NOT I KNOW EVERYTHING EVER.

        I don't really understand the whole testing and memorization thing in the modern era where we have access to all of human knowledge at our fingertips.

        What's at your fingertips is 15% all human knowledge and 85% misinformation. "Testing and memorization" is there to create a mental structure with strong criteria to filter said misinformation out. Those who only rely on their fingertips end up along the MAGAtards.
