What do flat Earthers think causes the "magical downward force"?

2. Gravity does not exist - the Earth is accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s2 which seems like gravity.

4. Gravity doesn’t exist - things are held down by air pressure.

…and there are probably other ideas out there.

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

If (3) was the case - you’d have the same problems as (1) - but this weir...

If (2) was the case - then the acceleration would have to be EXACTLY the same everywhere - and it’s not.

They don’t know - and not all of them agree that there is a “magical downward force”.

If everyone in Russia dropped into holes in the ground only never to return, would that be good for NATO and international peacekeepers? Can we convince Russians to be less diabolical, so they coexist? Does Putin stink like doo doo in the commode?

1. Gravity is real - but the Earth’s disk is very thick so the force is very nearly vertical.

The trouble with (1), (2) and (3) is that these cannot explain why the force of gravity varies with height above sea level…less at the tops of mountains - more in valleys.

If (1) was the case - the center of gravity of the Earth would have to be so deep down to avoid gravity pointing off at an angle when moving towards the “rim” of the flat earth that the difference in height of a mountain would be negligible and we would get very, very nearly the same gravity everywhere.

Why are Democrats deflecting and aren’t as tough on Hunter Biden with all of his criminal activity and his rising possibility of him receiving a charge for illegally owing a gun?

3. Gravity doesn’t exist - it’s a form of magnetism that works on non-metals.

I have heard them say:
